My rules

 

1. Always move around like if there was a sniper watching you.

2. If you think you've heard something strange, just assume you really did (not - "probably just my imagination".).

3. Expect unexpected.

4. Failure is part of the learning process.

5. Trust your instincts.

6. Explore every inch of the map.

 

Guys only:

Do your looting same way you do your shopping: make a list, get in, get your shit and get out as quickly as possible

 

Works like a charm :)

[Chroma 61]

1. Trust no one.

Trust no one.

The beans belong to those most armed.

If you need it, you wont find it till after you die.

Entropy will always win.

3. if you see another player, find out if there are more to their group before making yourself known

4. if you share with another players, only give food, water, batteries (no weapons or ammo)

[Acher0n 39]

 

2. Close all doors behind you as you are entering/leaving buildings your looting

 

I disagree. I leave everything open.

When I go into a town and see open doors, I get worried there might be a team of 4 bandits around the corner. Also, if I see open doors, i'll bypass the town and move to another.

 

If i think this, hopefully others will to, and stay away if they see open doors. Closed doors are an invite for people to come sniffing around.

[Karmaterror 982]

1. Acquire towel

2. Don't trust anyone

3. Run.

4. Remember: people are worse then zombies

5. Don't panic

4, Don't Panic

5, Hitch ride to the restaurant at the end of the universe :)

[Etherimp 1323]

Experienced Mod and SA player with over 500 hours... imo..

 

1. Trust is earned, not given. (If players are trust-worthy, they will show trust and their words and actions will be in agreement.)

2. There are no "owners" in DayZ, only "users". (You do not own what you have, you're just using it until the next guy has it.)

3. Trust your instincts. (If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.. if Elektro sounds too quiet, it is.. If that fresh spawn seems to be too friendly, he is.)

4. Walk softly and carry a big stick. (Be a ghost until souls need to be reaped)

5. Haste can be folly, but I've never seen delay that was wise. (Move with a purpose, and measure your aggression.. Too aggressive is clumsy, too passive weakens your position.)

[UltimateGentleman 355]

1. If someone doesn't have a gun don't shoot them

 

2. Offer them a bandage or something helpful if they seem fresh, to be a light in the everlasting darkness that is the playerbase as perhaps they'll remember your kindness before turning to the darkside.

 

3. At airfields NEVER STOP RUNNING IF YOU STOP YOU DIE

 

4. Don't get carried away and try to find every possible good item in one place if you're there too long someone will find you.

 

5. Tactical Bacon is god Always shoot at groups in case they are bandits and then run away, if not it will at least liven up their session.

[Jex 1104]

Everybody's friendly when they have nothing.

[Death By Crowbar 1213]

1. Eat, drink, and be merry (but not where you can be seen or heard)

Always camp on the 2nd floor of a random building away from good loot.

Run like you're evading an alligator - zig zag, never run in a straight line.

It's good form to take people hostage rather than KOS, but always mess with and/or torture the hostage a little.

Never, never, NEVER assume you are alone or safe.
