Meet once: This person is going to try to kill me. Kill on sight.

Meet multiple times: Hey, I know this guy! Let's see if he's holding a grudge/gloating over that last encounter (depending on outcome).

Meet multiple times without killing each other: This guy seems alright... let's see if I can convince him to join up with my clan/group.

Heart rate increases drastically. I stay a decent distance and try to watch for a few minutes to see if he has any friends and see how cautious he is. Eventually I will take some shots if the opportunity arises.

What does meeting another player in game mean to me? Death. Which is why I typically avoid people.

KoS right away, cause I don't care about working together or being friends with other player only with my own squad!

[TheWeedMan 132]

I always try to establish communication, if they fail to reply I normally back away.

KoS is boring and for me unless its group turf wars. Most encounters ive had has ended rather pleasantly with trading etc and some people being added to my steam friends. You do however come across panic merchants that freak out and go gungho but I reckon ive became a bit of an expert at player behavior profiling.

Increased heart rate immediately.  Definitely get a little jumpy.

 

If they're holding a firearm, generally stay hidden and watch them.  If not, then I'll get the drop on them and initiate contact.

 

 

Always a dice roll, always interesting :)

My heart goes pounding when I see another player and my head gets filled with thoughts on what to do.

If I haven't been spotted I usually try to stay that way while watching them.  Kind of creepy, but I love just watching someone else go about their business while they have no idea that I'm tracking their every move.  Though if they look like they know what they're doing or there is a large group I generally just leave as quickly and quietly as possible. 

 

I only kill if I get shot at or backed into a corner.  Not shooting everything that moves makes the game much more interesting and challenging.

I'll shoot on sight, If I miss I'll combat log
