Ineedscoffee 464 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) I always thought overcoming food poisoning with random blackouts would be the hardest thing i'd survived through in this game. Dead wrong lol. Walked away from firefights, ambushes, actual bandits, military rats, zombies, ghosters, loggers, etc. This one though, this one sucked.I spawn somewhere south after i took a running leap off a building as tribute, distributing my survival gear to the first lucky soul to come upon it.First thing i see is factories, tells me I'm in one of the big three. say "Ah hell" and procede to nope my way out of there north. Sprint hard, hit a couple random houses, towns, Collect a splitting axe, orange pack, few cans of beans, water bottle, hit a well, keep running north. Come across a sign reading Ryrnobo, or Guglovo translated. find a barn, head upstairs, have a peek. Nothing worthwhile, so i head back down. I didn't pay attention and cut the loft short. Missed the stairs completely.Not enough to kill me, whew. Then i try to move.................If you haven't had to crawl your way though town, desperately looking for a F'n stick, Morphine, or help, fighting off zombies whilst unable to move properly, then you haven't bloody lived.Every bit of gear was damaged. Almost all my food, water, supplies, even my pack.....gone. Strip down to my skivvies, tear my shirt, bandage, and crawl on. Even if I had come across another player, they would of died laughing before they could help me. There i am, boots, shades, axe, gloves, and cowboy hat......Color's completely gone, gobble down the last bit of food that i have left, and crawl north out of town. After what felt like forever, i finally see another sign of civilization. HoBbIn Co6op......Novy Sobor. Not exactly ideal, as it's a spawn point last i checked. Get shot at a few times, before i can even enter. Guessing they ran out of ammo, as they didn't press the attack. I skim a few of the outer houses, grab some pants, a new pack, few cans of tuna. Now the entire time I'm doing this, I have to crawl to the base of the steps, stand up, step over so that I'm on the steps, then crawl around the house. Stars raining pretty hard, can't see the clouds clearly enough to see which way they are blowing. Hear more shots, and start squirming towards what i thought was north. Turns out it was southeast.Hello Guglovo again. Sigh, and crawl northeast this time, following some offbeat road. Run out of food and water on the way. After god knows how long,I start see'ing houses again. Small supermarket, roadside cafe, long barn, feeling the love. Found a brown hoodie, another water bottle, fought off zombies, replenished my vitals. Moved north a bit.Hit the mother lode as I recognize that I'm in Gvozdno. Fire station has a B95 and ammo, a hoodie, fresh fruit. Other homes have more food and soda. Feeling good, minus the whole having to crawl thing. Far north, meaning i won't see anyone sadly. I Know further north is a train station, maybe I'll find something useful there. Start to crawl down, and a long metal shed catches my eye off to the right. Slither my way in, natta. Head out the other side, and there they were......Glorious MotherF'n sticks. I've never made a splint so fast in this game as I did then.Sprinted for the first time in hours to my station, singing the Smurf's happy song. You know the one: La La Lalala.....You Beautiful bastards had better appreciate your legs.TLdR: To damned bad, I didn't crawl five F'n plus hours for you to skip this!

kawa_ 13 Posted February 17, 2014 you have my beans for not trying to kill yourself after you broke your leg, and for not making a topic asking for someone to kill you. nicely done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaMaakus 34 Posted February 17, 2014 @Ineedscoffe: I'm somewhat impressed, how you soldiered on. I broke my legs twice yesterday. First time sitting on the top floor of the "prison" on an airfield. Went up the stairs, walked to the loot in the back part of the corridor, kneeled down, pressed tab to open the inventory and my legs broke.Crawled to some buildings in the town near the airfield, found nothing, opened a thread where to find sticks, logged in later, crawled around a bit more, got shot in the back of the head from not more then 5 meters away without hearing footsteps or get talked to. Nice. New character, ran around, lotted things, got decent equipment, ran along a road, server restarted, I joined it again, spawned a few hundred meters on an open field from the point where I lost the connection, crack, broke my legs. Wtf.Had a lucky find earlier and applied morphine. Could run around again. Made a splint from the first sticks I found (which took forever). Take it with me from now on.Made a thread, demanding implementation of spawning sticks when chopping down bushes. I probably would have had a zombie kill me, if I didn't had the morphine the second time. Crawling around and searching for sticks while everywhere around you are fucking trees and bushes is ass.

fitzee 248 Posted February 17, 2014 Hi. Good story, thanks for sharing. In the mod, I once crawled about halfway across the map looking for morphine before getting taken out by a group of bandits, the chumps took about 50 shots to kill me. I probably could have killed them, shaky hands and all, in that amount of time, but after spending literally hours crawling, I said fk it, and welcomed the death lol. This is why I always carry 3 morphine on me now. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Depth 167 Posted February 17, 2014 I saw a guy with broken legs outside the school in Berezino. I came up to him and he told me his story, then I rendered him unconscious with my fists. Also, can you break someone's legs by punching them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Window Licker 504 Posted February 17, 2014 Well Played Sir, Have my beans, after the first ten minutes of that I would have thought F**k this and found some rotten fruit and sang when the man comes around until I ceased to exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Bad" thing is, rotten fruit doesn't kill you necessarily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
