Some fun being friendly with random ppl on LU20

[void.false@gmail.com 300]

People seem to complain that everyone is hostile in recent times. Well guys, here's the story of my adventure today.

Night. 3/4 of the moon. Anything is barely visible but you can find your way. Before that game I was always switching to daylight servers but this time because of some visibility provided by the moon I decided to stay.

I spawn at Kamyshovo. Turn west and after picking some road flares at the train station I begin my journey to Elektro. Along the way I spam the place with flares to distract zombies and to actually be able to see what I loot. This way I arrive with only an axe to Elektro. As soon as I enter the city I find myself under fire from silenced automatic weapon. Bullets are flying by, breaking windows. Very atmospheric I must say. (;

I sprint to the church to in a hope to find some weapon. Instead I find there another guy. I'm telling him that I'm friendly and propose him to continue together. So here we go around the city to the fire station. Trying to scavenge some weapons but without success. When he climbs down the ladder from the roof he gets attacked by zombie and breaks his legs. He then says that he wants to respawn. I tried to convince him to wait for me to bring him morph but he refused anyway. So we say good bye each other and part.

I continue my journey by electric lines to Cherno because we didnt find any guns in Electro so there was no reason to stay. Passing by the barn at north I get myself Winchester and PM. With these luxuries I arrive at Cherno's supermarket. There I find another guy that tries to escape as soon as he sees me. On Direct Chat I tell him "Wait!"

- Yeah?

- I'm friendly

- I have no gun

- Here, take my pistol (and I put my PM on the floor with some clips)

From here begins the most exciting part. I tell him that I'm low on blood and that I need a transfusion. By that time the night got darker and I couldn't see a shit without flares. Althou this guy could see pretty well (I think this is a video card issue). So he tells me "cmon lets go, I lead you to the hospital". As soon as we get outside the enlightened area I see pitch black. I back off to the market saying that I couldnt see anything. So we stop to think what we can do. I propose him to hold a flare so I'll be able to see where to go. He says that it will attract zombies so no way. Then I came up with an idea to give him a chem light. And here we go. I see nothing but his figure slightly lighted in blue and try to follow him as close as possible. Along the way we fight zombies, enter houses to pick up some ammo and shit. It was the longest trip to hospital ever! It felt like we passed few kilometers. But at the same time it was hell of an exciting thing!

We get to the hospital, he makes the transfusion and we continue to loot the medical supplies from the tents. Suddenly he disappears. I notice server message that it will be rebooted and I got stuck too. After few tries I successfully join the game, spawn at the same place that I left and... its daylight! I was so grateful to see the sun again! But there's no trace of my friend. I begin to search after him in all the tents as I come upon crouched person. He was with his back to me. I thought it was him but then noticed that guy had AK74 Cobra. Well, I thought I will be friendly with this one too. I point my gun to the side (I think it's a bad manner to point the gun at someone's head while you talk to them (-; )

and start typing. All of the sudden he turns around and shoots at me with full auto! What a douche bag! I hope you read this post, fucking psycho. I could have killed you five times. Didn't you hear me crouching behind you? I was pointing my gun for about 5 seconds right next to you head. If I wanted I could fucking kill you and take away your precious AK with Cobra! Do you really think it's so great that it gives you the right to kill people without a reason? I hope one day somebody stuffs your hairy butt with the barrel of AK74Cobra and goes full auto on you.

Regardless of that sad event I really feel some kind of an accomplishment. I befriended with 2 completely random people on the same run and it feels like I've completed some side quest. Like in GTA where you have to bring injured people to the hospital. So it was here too. My character got what he needed, saw the sun of the next morning and, as every side-quest character, was discarded.

TL;DR

There're enough friendly people in this game so stop telling that everyone is for PKing. Althou there're enough douche bags too.

Either you startled him (guy behind him with a gun and all that jazz) or he wanted your loot very badly.

If it had been me, I would have fired on you, too. That kind of proximity causes anxiety when you are trying not to die. As a tip, next time try to communicate with something between you, and warn them not to point their weapon at you.

Other than that, nice story.

With the shoot first mentality ingame you can hardly expect someone to just trust some random to not kill them, even if you didn't have you gun pointed at him, you can hardly blame him for killing you. You have your part of the blame as well, you don't run up to someone and type "Friendly!" in chat, that will get you killed most of the time and it did.
