Holy Crap! Two positive encounters in less than 15 minutes.

[Soupee 57]

Wow, talk about crazy.  I just logged off after having two positive encounters.  The first I met up with a guy who graciously gave me antibiotics so I didn't have to wade though the Cherno mess in search of them.  He also used my blood bag to get me back square.  Wafflesan, you're a gentleman.

 

Then another fellow, Trooper, met up with me in search of drink.  I gave him a couple of cans, a boiled bottle of water, and he left me with some morphine in case I encounter another linebacker zed in my travels back north.  Trooper, you are also a gentleman.  Quote of the night came across direct chat from Mr. Trooper... "Thanks for not shooting me in the face."  Indeed.

 

Well met, both of you, you've restored my faith... at least until tomorrow night when I get shot in the face by the first ding dong I run across.  I find these encounters so much more enjoyable than the frenzied panic when someone comes around a corner and full auto-AKs me in the chest.  Of course, if that guy doesn't full-auto me every once in awhile, maybe the positive encounters would get pretty boring?  I really like the tension when you approach someone knowing they could easily drop you in a heartbeat if they wanted.

Bandits really are good for the game :D

agreed...in limited numbers.

99% of the server population being bandits helps no one.

nice people are the epic loot of this game.

 

you fight, and you die, and you fight again, and you keep getting trash.. but you do not give up, and eventually, suddenly there is this  SAW-wielding Bro of Cooperation or even the legendary Quickscoping Bushwookie of Fellowship

 

and you suddenly feel that it was worth it, because its so rewarding, finding such a gem of a person amidst the paranoid mayhem that is DayZ

Thats ok our medic on the Vanguard was helping some new players out flying them around to a few places helping them gear and take them back to the medical camp to stock up and what happens... You guessed it 2 scrubs (Eric and Echo) attacked the group of new people in attempt to hijack the chopper the medic was using.  

 

Side note for Eric and Echo:  How did that work out for you two noobs......
