Zee_Panda 29 Posted August 25, 2014 Couple DayZ ago I was chilling in good ol' Novo, looking to have some player interactions. Meet 4 guys. 3 semi kitted guys and a fairly new spawn. 2 of the guys had guns. And so did I. But we called friendly and did our own thing, no problem. I'm not into killing but I saw a guy drinking a pipsi, I thought this is my chance to make contact. He had a weapon out so while he was drinking was my safest option, I called out " yo man, friendly?" he calmly replies "yeah dude just looting up". Seeing as I had the drop on him and im the exposed, I said quite firmly "put the weapon away man. just wanna talk" He proceeds to do so. I come out of my hiding corner and show myself. I showed myself and he put his weapon away. Everythings okay. I have my weapon lowered (Crossbow) But still inline with his head if he tried anything, and what do you know he did. Pulled out the weapon, aimed it towards me. In a split second, i raised my crossbow and swiftly and cleanly finished him to the head.Why do people not understand what friendly is. I'm the one who talked, I had no intentions of harm, If I wanted to kill you, I would have done so. Peek corner, aim, fire, unpeek. Done. But no people think they are some fucking 1337 quickscopers. Moral of this? -LISTEN! (Might not make much sense but fuck you.) <3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Estevacio 62 Posted August 25, 2014 well mate, i have seen guys playing that they do the friendly stuff, and as soon as they have the upper hand, they shoot you in the face with no remorse(after talking to you, seeming friendly, cool guys) its just like that, douchesbags or nice people, you just need to roll the dice and be lucky 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted August 25, 2014 Crazy fact is, that you could have been a jerk trying to get closer to make that xbow headshot easier. Hence calling friendly and approaching him.And maybe, just maybe, if you had that xbow on your back, he would not have tried to shoot you. But we will never know and both cases has the same probability and happens all the time.I do get your point though, you were not trying to murder that dude. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can tell the shit heads by how they talk. not entirely true man!! i have had fuc#ers who talked to me friendly, and he was waiting for his friend to come by the strange thing is he had bullets in his sks, his friend had a revolver only i think i think he just wanted to make sure he could bring me down being both trying to he sounded friendly until both started shooting lol (and i did make it out of that alive, FNX is quite good when you want to spray bullets, ruined everything they had but backed out alive) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Briljin 102 Posted August 25, 2014 Many times I have been fired upon by those who declare themselves as "friendly". Lets be honest, just because someone says they are "friendly" doesn't actually make it so and often it is just used as a ploy to get others to lower their guard. As a friendly players, it is something you just have to accept and be ready to deal with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
q.S Sachiel 470 Posted August 25, 2014 yup. had a guy the other day. i had a pick he had a mosin. i said hey how you doing. he waved, did the wiggle but wouldn't talk. I told him it was uncouth to not reply and i was suspcicious. He let me follow him for a while before he shot me and took my m9 mag. I regained consciousness, went to find him, and he kept silent shooting at me until his last shot hit :(it was a bad day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a friendly players, it is something you just have to accept and be ready to deal with. I never said anything about people who "Declare" themselves as friendly.. people who say "FRIENDLY!" are usually worth shooting, or at least being suspicious of. I mean, if someone has the drop on you and has an advantage and decides to talk to you instead of shoot you in the back, they're usually trustworthy UNLESS you can hear in their voice that they are about to handcuff you and feed you rotten fruit... which, btw I have NEVER had done to me. Only once has someone tried to handcuff me supposedly to check for weapons, when I was clearly more or less a fresh spawn (I had a backpack and an axe).. I just run away from them and their aim sucked so they couldn't kill me. I got away without a scratch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmpaLompa 5 Posted August 25, 2014 I can understand his attempt to shoot you, I have been approached by many people claiming to be friendly, but as soon as I stand still they then put a bullet in my face. I guess its a stratagem to make you stand still so they can cleanly kill you. (and thus get loot) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaveMeJebus 164 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I don't understand why people think when they have "the drop" on somebody that its the time to call out "hey you friendly?" .... of course they are gonna say yes, you have just scared the shit out of somebody (who may not even know where you are yet) and they are trying to buy time to sort your location and take aim.

Because if you have the drop on someone, then they die if they "take aim". Also, good players will observe you and make sure you aren't traveling in a group before approaching you. Annnd, good players will usually wait until you're boxed in and have no way to retreat/escape before approaching you. If you have no escape, and they have "the drop" on you, then your only options are to talk, or die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No proof beyond the fact that you never saw them coming, but they had you pegged from the start. (Alternatively: Go watch http://www.twitch.tv/xsmak .. Smak is probably one of the few twitch streamers and youtubers I would consider "Good Dayz players") https://www.youtube.com/user/SmaKills Click the Spoiler for his youtube channel.. go watch a few videos.
