Feeling remorseful...

[SniperwolfMR 153]

I feel terrible about the crime I committed tonight. I met a very nice and cheerful guy at the Rify boat who was fairly well armed and asked my bambi self if I needed anything. I desperately needed food so he opened up a few cans for me and I ate until content. He told me he would escort me and help me find some equipment in Berezino so I gratefully accepted.

 

While we were on our jog to the city, we exchanged a few words and got to know each other a little bit. He found me a back pack and a fire axe along with a water bottle and some canned tuna. He killed a few zombies that snuck up on me and asked me if I was okay. He decided I should find a well to fill up my water bottle and said we needed to get somewhere safe so he could look at his map.

 

As I sat there watching his still body, something came over me. I took my fire axe out and hacked him down. After I took his weapons and gear, I felt absolutely terrible. I had to log off and collect my bearings. How could a game emotionally drain someone like this? 

 

Whoever you were, I am sorry. 

[Grimey Rick 3417]

You sir, are a douche.

[oregonized 673]

Karma's a bitch.

[blissfulkunt 196]

Douchery at its best. Sigh. You new spawns/players make more reasons everyday on why we shouldn't help at all.

 

Yes I hope you feel terribly like an ass

[soulfirez 901]

Um yeah that was pretty bad but on the positive side Rocket did want to inspire geniune human emotions in game seems you got those..

 

You can play as you wish but ask yourself are you happy with KOS ?? If you are carry on if your not then what do you think the odds are this friendly guy  will help the next guy or remember you and put a bullet in him no questions asked. ( i hope he carries on being nice we have enough KOS killers we need more heroes...

[Geckofrog7 1168]

Wtf asshole?

Something "came over you"?

That's your excuse?

 

To hell with you.

"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely". That is to say he did it because he could and he "knew" there would be no ramifications for his actions... turns out he was wrong, haha

 

Edit: There is this overpass I walk over, this one in particular, that draws me towards the edge of it every time I traverse it. It begs me to jump into the traffic below... "just to see what it would be like"... but I understand the real world consequences if I were to... so I don't

well, it's kinda also he's fault for trusting you blindly. i'd never trust a random bambi. i have often tried to be killed by a bambi, who try to get me lower my guard by acting friendly.

 

but it's alright. i'd do it too.

 

gear up fast, or die trying.

You gotta agree though, that no other game can do what DayZ does so well.

 

Not only can you gain and betray someone's trust, not only can you feel the bitter betrayal from someone, you went out of your way to help, but betraying someone also leaves you feeling like a piece of shit. No matter if you're the betrayed or the betrayer, no other game allows it's players to feel these strong and negative feelings. 

 

Some people are able to easily brush off their first betrayal/murder, for others the consequence of their betrayal will always stay with them and change the way they play.

Wow thats low,you called your self a bambi to......... you know what? go to cherno and jump off the town hall!! That way you will feel better

[Pubic_Crabs 0]

Yeah, the finality of each characters death weighs much more than most games these days, like getting super far on an NES game used to be.

So you did it just because you could hm? Maybe just because for once you felt you could avenge your previous deaths? On a guy who did nothing but help you? Not even for fun?

 

What is wrong with you.

[thelonewarrior 886]

Well this one time, I was over watching a friend as he was a newspawn and this guy came up to him and wanted to team up

They looted for about 30mins and the new guy didn't know I was watching and following his every move

After about 30mins this new guy stopped talking and started beating my friend to death totally at random when he could have killed him when they first met as this new guy got the drop on my friend

So my friend ran towards my position and kept asking him why but he didn't respond and so I stepped out of the bush, told him why he was about to die and unloaded my magnum into him

I hope you feel terrible for what you've done

While part of me would like to join the tide of anger at the OP I'm actually just kind of glad that at least ONE PERSON who's committed an act of extreme bastardry in the game (and it was extreme bastardry!) has enough self-awareness to realise it, grow a conscience and attempt to apologise, and HOPEFULLY won't do it again.

 

But seriously, you should do some self inflicted restitution through helping out freshspawns for a while, that might help erase the guilt. At least you won't be thoroughly surprised when one of them surprise axes you. ;)

[-MadTommy 367]

I'm a friendly player and would never have done this myself.. but what you did... is part of what gives Dayz such potential.  It's brutal, unpredictable and often uncontrollable.  

 

Have beans for being an utter douche and keeping the rest of us freaked out and on our toes!

If playing that way makes you feel bad, don't choose to play that way.  Personally would not have betrayed a dude who opened up to me, but I can't tell you how to play a sandbox game.

[antonioajc 500]

That was really, REALLY low. Just like shooting a guy in the balls.

Well, this IS the kind of behavior DayZ wants to simulate... Either way, Dean Hall succeeded in making a bunch of people turn into doucebags for survival.

Aaaaaands thats why I shoot them bambis if they do not stay clear of me...

[DMentMan 707]

you are one of the most horrible player i have.. um, reed about.

[OmpaLompa 5]

Reminds me of when my team met a Bambi at Electro, I get sympathetic and give him food. He joins us for 5 mins, but then jumps us along with 2 buddies of his (it was a trap!) and kills one of our guys before we gun them down. Makes it very hard not to shoot anyone you do not know.

[libertine 351]

If you were playing it as just a normal game, ok, if you were playing it as an immersive experience...wtf...

[irl-calibre 744]

as someone who has been on the receiving end of such a death on numerous occasions - :D

[Johnny Depth 167]

Hey, guy.

 

Good work in my book.  Take advantage of any situations you can and you'll be at the top of the ladder with me and my team.  

[Spiderdude20 32]

At least you felt bad about it afterwards... douche.

 

As for me, I wouldn't kill a KOSer on sight. Oh no no no. I would knock them unconscious first (and assuming they don't respawn.. rocket please have it where you can only respawn when you die, pls!) and handcuff them, strip them of everything they own. Then when they wake up, I would take their blood, shove rotten fruit down their mouths, and force them to drink disinfectant spray. After that, I knock them unconscious again, and leave them to their death.

[Recinema 22]

I have actually felt such remorse in this game. It was my 3rd kill. Me and my friend were in a building in Zeleno, sorting through our gearing, discarding what we don't need. When, suddenly a guy randomly walked in. It scared him as much as it scared us. He yelled friendly. We gave him some food and let him help himself through the stuff we didn't need. Then he went his way. We continued to loot then saw him  run around the town 20 mins later. We approached him again and asked if he wanted to team up. His voice was pretty laggy but I am pretty sure he said no. He then asked me if I had any ammo for his gun.

 

That is when I a thought crossed my mind...If he had ammo to begin with, would he have opened fired? So I came to a conclusion - He had a gas mask on (I dont trust gas masks or payday masks O.o), He had boots and a vest which my friend needed, and I figured if he got bullets he might try to kill us. So I raised my gun while he was talking about something and put him down. I instantly felt bad and wish I could take it back. After looking through his gear it seemed he was just a regular survivor...
