My first actual being killed* experience.

[ghettodayzbambie 1]

(Ahem. The brontosaurus....)

Start in Seven, I like it there. quiet. nice beach's...great hotels. nice zombies.

Get some gear. My normal stuff. SMLE and 1911. heaps of ammo and food and soda. Yip check.

Say hello to a fellow survivor, he says he is friendly... (ha!)

So he takes off, heading roughly in the same direction I am going. But I skirt along the forest line on the mountain side of the road out of town.... Being sort of quiet and chucking flares around.... (oops)

I make it to a village. (a looong way out of town) Chuck a flare and turkey shoot the zombies to clear the place and have a bit of a scrounge...

Uh oh it's patient Zero. mmm, time to bug out? Oh no, I decided to try to shoot him a few times. Maybe I could actually kill him???

So there I am standing* silhouetted against a building by a flare, in broad flare light.

and... then...

Blam blam blam... Very loud, very close, wild shot's but I get clipped.

I'm down. Crawling. Two more shots. even closer.

Executed.

I am dead. Pushing up daisy's. fin. out.

Shocked. Startled. Annoyed.

That GUY!** It was that guy. The FRIENDLY guy.

(a lousy shoot too, shot at me five or six time.I was standing still, a perfect target)

So what did I learn?

Before popping out of the woods:

Prone! SCAN! Scan scan scan. Prone prone prone.... Prone scan prone scan prone scan... softly softly..

(I had actually proned into the village BUT I did not scan the area around it! and the flare was just stupid.)

I was alone, acting like a moron, an easy kill. I made it easy for someone to take a chance and kill me

with little problem or risk on their part.

If only I had kept my guard up!

*Standing is a really bad idea. Standing still is worse!

** Guy as in none gender specific way of saying "other player".

I let an unarmed guy live, he finds a grenade and immedietly throws it at me.

Those melon tits probably traumatized him.

- There was this one Un-armed guy

- I broke his legs, got out my pistol, then asked for any last words

- So then he absolutely begged for mercy

- He begged, and im a nice guy (Most of the time), so I morphined him and let him go

- Then I saw him run away, into the sunset

- I was walking into around the middle of the street, in the dark

- All of a sudden I heard a familiar... "Vroom vroom"

- I was illuminated in headlights

- My first instinct was to turn around and shoot the fucker through the windshield

- So I did, but alas, I was too late

- He ran me over, but I was still alive!

- All he did was break my legs, but he steered around to hit me again

- I frantically crawled away, but my death was inevitable

- He ran me over again

But guess what? It was that Un-armed guy I let go! Turns out he was a fucking mechanic or whatever. But he got Karma. I saw the same car coming towards me. So I shot the tire, then he veered right and into an ocean. Lol

No name plates!!! no sneaking up on me. no scanning for name plates.

This is GOOD!

ha ha.

I am proning around watching people running from the conga line! too cool.

You can't see me!

and if you can't see me: you can try to "hey buddy, I am friendly, can I look in your out bag?" BS.

and I am not "buddy" and secondly no you can't look in my pack.

And if you come any closer I will shoot .

SO yeah. ditch the name plates/player tags. and get IN THE GAME. Lets make this REAL.

I wan to hide and watch (SAW, sit and wait) to see how people work and if they think no one is watching, you can see exactly how the do so.

The name plate popping into view is just dumb. I may as well put on a floro hi viz vest.... with a sign saying come and murder me.

Stay close but out of sight. Dicth the nameplate rubbish. Monitor the actions of others from a discrete distance.

And when you finally let them find you, and want to be friends, you can tell them what they have been doing for the past four hours...

The good, the bad and the ugly... and the moronic.

Name plates = lack of stealth = no close monitoring = crap game play.

And if you really like hunting having a "wild animal" name plate pop into view is just NOT HUNTING. (mr hunter I am over here!!!)
