MatchSticks 7 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) This is just a story, it's not important so if you are wanting news etc feel free to go back to the forums. I just wanted to share with everyone, this big shoutout of thanks to a friendly player I encountered. It's rare to find friendlies in the servers I been joining, and this bloke takes the cake for being the first ever friendly I've ever met online. He comes just as I was beginning to think I would never EVER find a friendly like I have heard and seen many others do and I am quite taken at the rewarding feeling of being able to interact with someone in Dayz. I was a new spawn travelling in Cherno going towards Balota. I had an SKS but no ammo, a backpack and shovel. I'm friendly and more often I've just snuck around other players instead of shooting (or being shot at) but I have a history of being KOS'd many times before and having those items on me I was sure to get another KOS; a gun threatens anyone, drawn or not, and the shovel is a threat also. Looting Cherno wasn't an option with all the zeds at the time so I wanted to reach the military base in Balota as I had more chance to find ammo and/or better weapon and fend off the zombies there. I was passing by Town Hall in Cherno when I heard someone shouting,"friendly! friendly!". I stopped and looked around and I see this guy running towards me. He had an SKS in his hand and I thought to myself, "oh shit" and proceeded to pull out my ammoless SKS thinking this will leverage the threat and if I died this time i would at least have gone down fighting. Or so it would seem. Anyway he got close enough for me to think that I'm going to get KOS'd again. But as soon as he did, he immediately asked me if I needed anything, where I came from where am I going and if I was a new spawn. I think he meant new spawn as in newbie, but I answered yes anyway because i was a new spawn. I was taken back a little by this time, surprised, because I had never been able to meet anyone without a bullet in my face. He also made the effort to be less threatening by putting his gun away, and seemed to not care if he got KOS'd. That's a real friendly in my books. Knowing I had no ammo by this stage as he asked me, he dropped 10 bullets for my SKS which I promptly pickup up and loaded my gun. He had put his own gun away beforehand and I see no reason to shoot him; I was thankful so I dare not hurt people who helped me. Most probably would for his items because he was well equipped but I bare no intentions. We talked for a while and parted ways soon after. I continued towards Balota and was tempted to look in a fire station for extra loot I can get since it was on the way. Inside, a zombie was standing looking directly at me so I ran out just to find another just outside. Trying to grab my shovel to use at first but with the other zombie I pulled out then put away my SKS many times before suddenly going prone. I was frustrated at the time, the two zombies clawing at me whilst I'm doing stupid maneuvres because of the gluggy controls and I wasn't expecting to be able to stand this much longer. I finally got to stand up and tried to get up on the stairs but rubberbanding broke my legs and there I was, a sitting duck with zombies eating me with much hate and angriness, as if I flipped a bird at their moms or I must've farted on their balls or something. I remember thinking to myself, "well I guess I can only just watch them as I die" because pulling out any weapons is gonne be futile as it takes time and I might just end up putting it away anyway. Suddenly I heard gunshots and the zeds dropped. In the background was this guy I just met, putting those zeds away and keeping any others getting close. I scramble to see if I could see anything I could use to help my broken leg and was lucky to find a morphine injector closeby. I quickly used it but I was also bleeding profusely. I had no bandages and was about to take my shirt off to get rags when I heard a familiar sound of bandages being applied. The guy had rush towards me and patched me up! What a champ! Just to cut the story a little short, I thanked him and we again parted ways but I will never forget what he did for me that day. No its not the help he had given even though that is a really big plus. It's the big heart of a hero, the compassion of a survivor and the first ever person I ever chatted with online. Thank you BlackCOCO. Hope to meet you next time. Edited April 30, 2014 by MatchSticks 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
