Don't worry! I'm a "Hero" ;)

[applejaxc 2500]

So there's this server... I'm not going to give the details, or what pseudonym I use on it, on risk of losing the nice little system I've got going on.

But there's this server, right? And I'm a "Hero" on it... more or less. I do help people, I really do. And I'm proud of what I do. But obviously being a hero isn't why I'm posting in the Bandit forums.

I started out pretty nice on the server, bloodbagging and bandaging and epipenning and et cetera et cetera, right? All nice and helpful or whatever. I even gave a helicopter and a bicycle away to needy players. I wind up with the kick-ass bullet proof vest + button up (that I love so damned much) and head north, almost directly from Chernogorsk. I get past (Kozlovka I think) and come across this mixed-candy group of bandits and survivors, pretty well armed.

Feeling like the cocky sonfabitch I am, I took my AKM and got more-or-less behind the majority of the players. "Drop your weapons and there won't be any shooting."

I shit you not:

"He's a hero, it's cool. Drop your guns guys." They start putting their weapons down, other than 3 or 4 guys that are keeping zombies at bay.

So I introduce myself as (pseudonym deleted) and everything is very polite, hunky-dorey whatever lovey dovey. I was... shocked at how much respect and trust my skin had garnered. I made a group of 20 players reduce themselves to being armed in only a fourth of that number!

Obviously the massive slaughter that followed was very one-sided; the anti-zombites stood close enough together that they weren't hard to drop. Do to the slightly awkward nature of picking up weapons from the ground, other players were similarly easy to dispatch.

So I go on my merry way, having gone from AKM to full kit in a few minutes.

That's about 1/2 interactions I have on that server now; "Don't worry, I'm a hero." *BLAT BLAT BLAT* It's a lot of fun. Well... for me I guess.

The whole screen was blue for about an hour from the group screaming, threatening, cursing, and et-cetera. They kill heroes on sight now. I'm constantly on the the lookout for UAZs, URALs, and other large vehicles... they'll get revenge some day.

So filthy I needed a shower after reading this.

I would like to play some DayZ with you Applejaxc. I realize I probably seem a bit like a creeper, but fuck it, cause you are the type of player I would like to raise hell with. We can play on a different server or whatever you wanna do really. Let me know if you are interested. My DayZ friends have pretty much fallen off, and the only people who even speak in game seem to be noobs.

I get a lot more of these requests than I probably deserve.

I recently committed suicide on the public servers (I took all my gear onto the fire station roof, logged out until night, and when I came back threw flares all over Elektro. When I ran out of FAL, M249, and M1911 ammunition I threw myself off the building and let the zombies eat me)

I don't want to use TeamSpeak or Skype or Steam Chat anymore than necessary... IE, just enough to choose a server to join together, and we can meet someone in the nearest city. :)

PS: Are you a US East Coast player? European? West coast?

Well good for you... glad you shot them for lowering their weapons just because you're a hero.

But...

Personally i'd have shot you the moment an opportunity presented itself. I hate the fact that people expect to not be shot just because they: a) say "I'm friendly," B) are a fresh spawn, and c) are a hero.

Expectations and sense of entitlement are what is wrong with people in this game (many games really).

Join 71.53.228.93, port 2302, or just search Applejaxc as a hostname. :)

The lesson isn't heroes are bad, but that bad decisions gets you killed.

1. Anyone who asks you to disarm wants you dead and should be killed on sight.

2. When in a group don't bunch up and present an easy target.

3. Stay near solid cover and get in cover, whenever you meet a stranger.
