Betrayal

[CallMehTOMMEH 7]

I'm new to the forums, but I signed up because, 1- I am a big fan of the mod and 2- I had something I needed to vent.

So after about 2 months of abstaining from playing DayZ, I decided to hit up the same server I saw PsiSyndicate playing on. Normally, it takes me a while to work my way up, but this time, I got lucky. Spawned near the northen airfield, met a friendly guy called "Kickass" and after making our ways up to the airfield, I find a CZ550 and he finds a pump action shotgun. By this time, I know I have gained his full trust, because it is a well known prinicple, if one player has a better weapon than the other, they will kill for it. After looting the airfield, I notice a gycrocopter, and we agree to fix it. Another guy joins us, he helps repair the helicopter, but shortly looses connection. Me and Kickass take off, with me as the pilot, proud of our accomplishments. We set off for a fuel station.

After about 15 minutes, we decided to land in Sabina on a industrial building for fuel. Kickass gets out, while I guard the chopper. He calls "I found 2 large jerry cans and 3 normal ones"

I hear footsteps but I presume they belong to my new found friend. Seconds later, a hero appears (called Min) from the top of a ladder calling friendly. I point my gun at him with apprehension and tell him to drop his Makarov pistol. He obides and helps Kickass with refuelling the helicopter. We take off, and set about finding other vehicles and better loot to prepare ourselves for Salvation City. After landing at various industrial sites, we find enough materials to fully repair and refuel another chopper. I can't remember the name of the city, but it has a huge football stadium in the middle of it. Inside it, was a Huey. Confident the stadium could only be accessed from the air, me and Kickass disembarked, turning the engine off, when Min announced "i'm going afk for 7-10 minutes guys, dont kill me pls :P"

Me and Kickass approved, and set about fixing the helicopter. Half way through attaching a Main Rotor Assembly, AK-74 rounds crack past my and Kickass's heads. A barrage of bullets rain down on Kickass who later died, once I indentified the firing position, I made a ran for it. The idiot gunman was stupidly still in tunnel vision, shooting Kickass's corpse. I start up the gyrocopter, yawing left as I gained rotor pitch. With just me and Min alone in the chopper, I was at 50% blood, bleeding out. I panic, and seek refuge to land at a nearby open football pitch. But just my luck, an M14 AIM rifle opens up and lights me up like a Christmas tree, damaging my engine and instrument avionics. I see no 'player-free' zones apart from a nearby volcano. I raise collective and land the helicopter at a 45 degrees face. Min gets out almost in sync with me, as I turn away to bandage, I scream over direct chat, fear in my voice, "We just got shot up badly in the football stadium man!! I need blood bagging!!!" I turn to him, he turns to me, says nothing. Then out of nowhere, he fires a single slug round at my torso with brutality and a cold sadistic nature. I pass into an unconscious state, where he finishes me off, I catch a last glimpse of him jumping in the helicopter. And here I am.

Left for dead.

CallMehTOMMEH was killed by Min by weapon: M1014 Remington, range: 3 metres.

I found this intriguing. Because as Dean "Rocket" Hall said, DayZ had always been intended as a experiment for humanity. Where player interaction and choices impacted on a large heirachy of people. People work in unsual ways. Of course, DayZ is nothing like what is used to be, with PvP style bandits occupying most of the player base, there used to be genuine interactions, sympathies, cold-blooded kills, acts of compassion, acts of brutality. I find it disheartening to think how humanity would reclaim itself in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse with greed being the most dominating force amongst humans. Personally, I really am fascinated by this, and after not playing DayZ for such a long period of time, it was a real wake-up call to experience something like this. Shit happens. I know, but I really believe DayZ has done a fantastic job of demonstrating what kind of mentality people poesses, even in the real world.

Greed?

Companionship?

Hatred?

Trigger-happy?

Sympathy?

Do you think DayZ standalone will offer this kind of player interaction?

Betrayed by a guy with a hero skin?

That's some crazy shit

Wow, man that sucks. I know what it feels like to get backstabbed and betrayed. It makes you mad but you just got to vent and go on. It was a good story and I'm sorry that you lost your chopper.

Hopefully you'll find something else to make up for the stuff you lost.

Nice poetic view you got on this but i tell you what happend from the view of the betrayer-guy:

He went AFK for ten mins and got a super nice blowjob from his girlfriend. When he came back to the game he was still out of breath and paralized from that hardcore blowjob he just got, sat down to the screen and asked himself: "hm...what happend again when i left? Bah, nevermind its just a game. Shoot this guy and get out". BAM. -_-

And that's why you will never have as much fun as you could playing this game as I/we do.

The END.

Dude it was a joke, take it easy.

Well I recently was betrayed for no apparent reason, I left my pickup to investigate a deer stand and came back to see a guy with a bicycle stopped on the road

I lowered my weapon after we established he was friendly and wondered if the truck was mine which I said yes but he can have it if he wants which he replied that he prefers the bicycle

So I have a sa-58 assault rifle , while he has a ak PSO which has a similar sight to the cz550, I have an Alice pack and he has one too

I offer a transfusion as the option came up when I was nearby but he says no and that he can just cook some meat

So we sit down and start a fire and cook some meat , asking where we ae heading and if we know if any bandits at starry as that's where he's thinking of heading

So at this point I've offered him everything and he has better gear and he's taken the time to talk to me, we have already agreed we will head separate ways and I say goodbye and as I get in the truck he raises his weapon and unloads into the pickup, killing me

He reloads and keeps firing, I later return to the same place to find the truck gone and the bicycle destroyed and my body laying there untouched which nothing taken

What possible reason he had to kill me? ( bearing in mind he shared supplies food and drink which he had little of and then killed me)

I found this funny.

Regulator Lone : What possible reason he had to kill me?

Human are selfish and individualist at different level and most of the time, vain. By keeping that in mind, you just crossed another one. For his account, maybe he was thinking at the time that you were one of these and really feared a bullet in the head, so he acted.

But it’s not too bad after all, that also nice to play an anti-social survivor to avoid these situations.
