My encounter with misled heroes..

[tatortodd22 12]

I was browsing private hives, and came across one with the settings I enjoy, and decided to give it a shot. It had no side chat, which is an immediate great first impression for me. I spawned in Kamenka, and despite popular consensus, I love spawning there. I hit up 4-5 deer stands on my way up north through Zelenogorsk and Pustoshka, checking for vehicles along the way.

I was passing through the Zelenogorsk supermarket at dusk, picking up a crossbow (finally, a primary!) and some watches, of course. As I was sorting my inventory, I heard the low rumble of a car engine from the west in between zombie grunts. I was crouched in the supermarket and decided to stay in there, hoping that whoever it was would simply pass on through. This was not the case. A GAZ rolls down the road to the supermarket from the North, and drives past the front door and into the parking lot. It turns around, points towards the large windows of the supermarket, and shines the headlights into the supermarket.

I was aiming at the car, waiting for people to get out. I said "If you drop your guns we can be friends. I've got more cover than you. Think about this." And from behind me I hear "I thought about it. I'm going to stick with the initial plan." I freelooked behind be to see a survivor pointing an AK at my back from the back room. He told me to "Drop your gun and we can be friends." I chuckled a bit and complied. He then ordered me to get into the car. Once I was in the back seat, the gunman got into the car and we started to drive off.

The driver said "This one must be new." The gunman asked "How do you know that?" "Because he hasn't got shit all over him." I chuckled at the reference, and realized how well it applied to the situation. "These might be roleplayers." I thought. They drove me out to the two barns west of Zelenogorsk, and got out in between them. "Get out of the car and head into the barn."

"Why, what are you guys going to do to me?" I wondered, while reminiscing of all the interesting hostage situations I watch on YouTube. "It's just a little experiment." I walked into the barn a little confused and saw a ring of wire kits set up, with a tank trap opening. "We're studying the infection to find a cure. You're going to make a huge impact on the future good of the human race. What's left of it, that is. Now, if you would, please, get into the ring. It's for your and our protection." I walked in, judging the guy's friendly tone as one that didn't mean any harm.

I stood in the middle and the driver lit a road flare and threw it at my feet, and he and the gunman ran to the opposite side of the barn. "What are you guys going to do?" They took a second and said "Save humanity, of course! But the first thing we must understand is how the infection works, and how a person "turns". One must know one's enemy." Almost on queue, zombies from outside were walking towards the flare and into the ring with me. "Guys? Can you shoot this zombie for me?" The gunman ran over to the entrance, and placed a tank trap blocking me and the zombies in. "I will in a minute. Now please, there's no way out, just accept your fate and know that your role is important in saving the human race."

The zombies started tearing me apart and I begged "What the fuck guys! This is sick, let me out!" The zombies tore into me and as I lay knocked out, bleeding rapidly towards death, they tried to console me saying "Don't worry, we will end your misery shortly, we only need to witness what happens after the initial death." I bled out, and was greeted with the "You are dead!" screen.

I wasn't even mad...I was just impressed!

Why does this kind of shit never happen to me? I'm somewhat jealous. Everyone I meet tend to immediately shoot me in the face.

Hmm interesting. Must have been intense. Even though they killed you just like in every player encounter (someone dies, right?) their method was very "in character". Talk about role playing.

I'd rather die like this a 100 times then the random sniper shot that always happens as I run through the woods.

That's why I'm trying to get into the DayZ RP server whitelist. They require interaction before combat so that intentions are clearly stated and roles played out. If you are a Russian special ops team sent to recover intel from the zombie infested Soviet-state of Chernarus, you cannot just KOS. You have to hold them up, tell them to leave or be shot, etc. Clans lay claim to certain areas, fight constantly, interact with people instead of making assumptions and shooting everyone on sight.

Should lead to many many more interesting encounters than just a 28 minute run North before a You Are Dead screen and 6 DMR cracks echo across the rolling hills.
