It was a trap! You fell for it too!

I posted because people were posting regardless.

I realize it's fruitless to change people on this thread, but my hope is that people (in future threads) will simply just stop replying, and thus fueling, flame/troll bait threads.

If you want to kill people then play COD you child, some people enjoy the survival aspect in the game and want to cooperate with each other.

lulz...I'm not impressed. Typical teen is typical and a dime a dozen. *yawn*

How original. umadbrah?

 

Please. I'm most likely older than the average age of the community and probably older than you.

OP why did you think this deserved its own thread? Murderers are ten-a-penny in this game, I think most people suspect murderers are in the majority even. Also yes, I said murderers, what you do is absolutely nothing to do with banditry so please don't go throwing that word around.

 

 

Nope.

 

 

Murderer/Bandit   Those are just made up concepts in your head to justify killing players cuz you dont like thier playstyle...

I don't care if someone robs or murders, I do them myself sometimes. I just get sick of people calling KoS "banditry", it's nothing to do with it.

[hellcat420 212]

Because I don't give a shit about you and I enjoy killing and knowing you gotta start from 0.

 

umad?

That's odd, because I seem to recall that killing folks was the only way to get a bandit skin in the mod.

 

"_isBandit = _humanity < -2000" was the mod's definition of a bandit.

 

 

 

 

What constitutes "banditry" within DayZ is a personal opinion. My Oxford English Dictionary has this to say about bandits:

 

 

bandit /'bændɪt/ n. (pl. bandits or banditti /bæn'dɪtɪ/) 1 A robber or murderer, esp. a member of a gang; a gangster 2 an outlaw.

 

 

 

 

 

"Proper banditry" is just a concept invented by people (whether they identify as bandit or not) who look down upon killing other players...

 

It's an opinion, it has no authority.

I hate trolls, but i hate the people who feed em even more, if you stopped they would starve and die, instead they multiply.

Two can play the dictionary game, it's a shame someone had to stoop to it but oh well.

It's as if you think there's more to do in the game at this point..

[kihz 83]

Can we not just post a funny gif and leave this hungry troll to die?

Unfortunately, nothing you defined stated that the subject being robbed was alive at the time.

Bandits:

You're also welcome to call these bandits if you like, but it's hardly the same kind of thing.

A squad who camps a road and shoots people coming down can most certainly be called "bandits".

You may be a badass running around with end game gear, but it's called "end game gear" for a reason.  

 

There aint no "end-game". Thus no "engame gear". Those labels are for People with little Imagination.

Soooo.... survival necessarily means *not* having negative interactions with other players? Maybe survival means to procure the means to live, by whatever means necessary, even including cold-blooded murder- and cooperate with a group to do just that.

 

Or is that an inconvenient interpretation for you?

[LeChat 131]

So YOU are THAT guy. Got it. You seem to frequent all servers and game modes!! Impressive.

I keep trying to kill Bambi, but can't find him anywhere - and I've run every mile of the woods for him. Don't get me started on Thumper - that freaking rabbit is bullet proof...

While you are right here, I'd say, with a group....hm....if you did not knew that people before, met them ingame and do not communicate over skype/teamspeak/whatever...

 

And Gews, please don't be such a self-righteous smartass, that's even worse than this thread. Because, in fact, you are stating your opinion, not a fact. And no dictionary quoting post will change that. If you don't believe me: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=porb
