Robbery vs. Banditry vs. Stupidity

Recommended Posts

I would like to share with you all a story from my recent pass through Cherno.

 

Upon exiting the city, a fully geared player lazily walks up to me in a zig-zag pattern. He yells "I'm friendly."

Not trusting anyone, I dip around the corner, at the same moment he again states.

"I'm friendly" however adding in "Now put your arms above your head."

 

So, naturally, I remove my Sawed Off Shotgun from my back, lean around the corner, and put two shells into him.

 

This is the end of my story. Any thoughts on this community? I've noticed a lot of players not really understanding the tactics of Robbery... He would have had me at range, my only other weapon being a .357 magnum.

 

I'm pretty sure he was a server hopper too. His inventory made mine look TINY. Fully geared M4 with an ammo box and 3 double mags, along with a magnum, fnx45, things I didn't even know what they do, all in pristine condition.

Which, finally, makes me really happy. I'm a noob to the specific DayZ experience, specifically with dealing with other players, and this has shown me that my own real life experience, albeit not usually so clear-cut life and death, gave me a bit of insight to trump someone geared WAY better than me.

Suppose he wanted to share some of that stuff with you but you killed him for it. I guess next time he'll just shoot you without talking. Asking you to put up your hands may simply mean he was worried you might shoot him... guess he was right. :(

If someone has me dead to rights but talks instead of shoots, I will converse with my guard up. I don't usually have nice things, so there is no real reason to sweet talk me then back stab me unless you're trying to troll, though it doesn't bother me as this is just a game.

I think the guy misunderstood ''Friendly'' for ''I just want to rob you, not kill you!'' or something like that ^^

I boo your response and question your intelligence based on this, sir.
