Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted May 22, 2014 Just trying to make a possible wrong right.I spawned in today and there weren't many people on whatever server I was on. I think at one point there was just 2 of us on, the other dudes name showed as "James". I has been running from deep inland, I had just checked out a castle in the mid-west. I knew Balota airstrip must be somewhere south so I headed that way. I got there, and there was noone around (server was jumping between 2 and 5 players during my run).So I loot the first building, check both hangers, then check the control tower. While just getting to the 2nd floor of the control tower I thought I heard movement, assuming it was a zed after me I headed back down to dispatch it - only to see a dude with a wide hat, a mosin, and an orange child's backpack. Like nearly at the door!I yell "friendly, friendly!" over direct chat, and duck behind the door. I hear nothing in return nor see any chat, so I retreat to the 2nd floor. I'm frantically looking up and down, assuming since he said nothing he's hostile - will he Fox me out from below or will he take the ladder up and come at me from above?Then I hear a zed - it's clear the zed is after him, so I take my chance, I run downstairs, SKS hot and ready, and see him tangling with a zed. I blow them both away.But then it hits me - I'm 90% sure he was sitting on the front steps facing out watching the airstrip when I shot him, as though submitting as friendly and keeping a look out.I'm pretty sure in my desire to survive and not die on a low pop server of all places I blew away one of the good guys who was merely being attacked by a zombie.I'm sorry sir! :(God damn KOS infection and double crossers have everyone making poor decisions these days. I apologize! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ubernaut 297 Posted May 22, 2014 It is this kind of intensity (and honestly little else at the moment) that makes DayZ so appealing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyT 554 Posted May 22, 2014 I am genuinely a pretty nice guy, but I seriously doubt he was looking out for your best interests at Bolota when he refused to respond to your calls.He deserved to get shot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFearOz 9 Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Hey buddy, it was at an airbase and you declared you are friendly and he didn't reply... as far as I am concerned given the situation you were fair and gave him opportunity to declare he is not a threat, done well.

kakysas666 191 Posted May 22, 2014 He would have raped you, your wife and kids and would have taken your gun and all food. You did good, OP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karlkurtz32 59 Posted May 22, 2014 All rules go out the window on military bases, sad as it may be. No one has time to talk in these high-tension locations because while you are trying to be civil, you know at any second someone else will come around that corner and KoS. Airstrips and bases = every man for himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
