Bandit Down - You Know What They Say About Assumption.

[eden.eustice@gmail.com 46]

My and my buddies have been running our shiny new Hardcore Stand alone server for a few weeks now and trying (miserably) to encourage player interaction beyond shoot on sight.

 

My work patterns mean I'm often online in the smallest hours of the morning when the UK server is pretty quiet, especially since they fixed the day/night cycle and the servers dark.

 

I check the Admin panel and see only 2 other people online and figure what the hell, I normally only log out in bushes out of LOS of anything to be safe but last night I logged out in the new Police Station / Prison North of the NW airfield, what are the odds one or both of them are in there when I log in right? most people don't even seem to know it's there.

 

I log in and it's actually getting light enough to see already so no need for the old head lamp.

I sit for a few seconds and listen but hear nothing, all the doors appear to be closed so I go searching and sure enough the place is full of nice loot, looks like no ones been here since server reset an hour or so ago which re-assures me the chances of running into someone here are slim.

Having picked up a blood test kit (I'm O+!, meh not the best but it will do) and more ammo, I get in some rations and hydrate then move out, I've just closed the double doors behind me and rounded the corner into sight of the main road when I take a round to the shoulder and a few more ping by my head...well....2 people on the entire server and sure enough at least one just happens to be camping the road as I come out and shoots on sight.

 

I hate bandits though he really should have waited until I was closer as I was able to duck straight back round the corner into cover shouting Friendly! I'm a Medic! only to hear abuse in return :sigh:

 

I flee back into the Prison and shut the doors behind me again and take up position by the corner with the stairs with eyes on the door.

I assume from the fact I couldn't see him and he mostly missed that I have at least a few seconds before he catches up so bandage up.

Due to the stairs/Railings upto the front door which is the only entrance I know he can't get the jump on me or even open that door without me getting some free shots on him, my M4 on Full Auto, Red Dot and 60 round mag should do the job, I've still got full saturation and I'm not shaking so I should be OK.

 

I hear him shuffling into position outside, I assume he's checking in the prison window hoping for a free shot but I'm not going to give him that.

 

At this point my biggest concern is him Ghosting me so I keep my eye on the player listing, still 2 other players....My guys whining like Peter Griffin with a busted knee at this point giving my position away and I'm considering morphine to shut him up, I want every advantage I can get.

 

At that moment one of the two players logs off.

I'm now panicking thinking I'm going to get Ghosted, whilst hey, at least this will let me Perma Ban them if they do, I really would rather not die...so I take the morphine anyway just to shut him up and keep checking around.

Then I hear someone outside moving up to the door, I'm praying so hard they aren't together and one of them isn't Ghosting but what happens next pretty much convinces me that's not what's happening.

 

Casually as you like Bandit boy opens up the door and stands there weapon down...Suffice to say he wasn't standing long, only long enough to shout over local "OH SH.."

Looks like he was monitoring the player count too and when the other guy logged off and I stopped making noise (Morphine) He assumed I had combat logged so just strolled on in, whoops!

Well you know what they say about Assumptions, They make and Ass out of U and give me...err...options...ok that doesn't quite work but whatever =p, point is he's dead and I'm not!

 

Call it Karma, Call it luck, all I know is I got another Pristine 60 round mag and a couple extra cans of beans off my would be murderer and a smile on my face.

So let that be a lesson, never make assumptions :)
