Mystic Bagel 128 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) So a couple minutes ago, having ran from Novo to the gas station on the highway west of Elektro, gearing up along the way, I found a new way to kill myself. It's surprisingly comforting to know that Darwins laws of natural selection still stand strong and true in this post apocalyptic wasteland. I'm also happy to announce I'm up for this years Darwin Award....thank you thank you.....applause are unnecessary, however donations can be made in my name to"Cindys Home for Abandoned children, Bottle Depot, and SaniFlush Stations Ltd" I had just swapped out my splitting ax for a pristine firemans ax and was making my way west to the military airfield, chopping my way past the walkers, having the time of my life.I came to the gas station and although I knew I didnt need anything that may spawn there, I decided to have a peek anyway.Nope, nothing, just as I had figured......THEN I thought to myself....hey...I wonder what sound it makes when I chop this gas pump with my new axe?........sure enough it make a sound like I hit something metal with an axe....even left a little ding in the surface, cool, thats what I'm talkin about, good work gentlemen...now, seeing as I had just solved my self imposed mystery of the day, what possessed me to strike it again is what Darwin Awards are all about................to my surprise, this time it didn't sound like I hit something metal with an axe, it sounded more like I set off C4 stuck to the side of a gas pump.......a huge explosion, my screen went black and I was dead......huh.......didn't see THAT one coming...BRAVO!!!By the way, if you were on TRanscende Server by Electro and you heard a huge explosion...that was me winning my award. I know Blunce and his crew were on at the time. Anyways, I'm delighted to let you know that YES indeed hitting gas pumps with metal objects does in fact make the proper sound.

CANUCKinNZ 108 Posted July 28, 2014 I'm glad you took one for the team! Note to self, don't chop or stab flammable gas. But would you mind trying to pinch the next one you see please? I'm not sure what that does and I'm not willing to find out.Go! Report back here with results please.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Raptor 191 Posted July 28, 2014 Haha. We learnt we could blew up gas stations because we followed someone doing it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's nowhere near enough to do proper statistics. You'll need at least 10 where it explodes and 10 where it does not. Now get back to work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
