youngjediknight 51 Posted November 12, 2014 Ok so I've got my camo painted Mosin, scope, and stabilizer, enough nato rounds to last till Christmas and tons of food and water. What to do in Cherno?? Oh the KOS temptation ... revenge for ALL those times!!! The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak ... off to a high ground I go LOL.Very loooonnggg minutes pass by and nothing not a soul in site in Elektro. I'm popping errant zeds just to pass the time. Heck at one point I was shooting the air just hoping a nearby someone's curiosity gets the better of them ... NOTHING.Then ... something. Lone dude with a sledgehammer and a backpack. I've got him pegged in my crosshairs and I ... do not shoot. WTF!!!! I just stalk him like some peeping tom creeper crouched up at the top floor inside the fire station tower. Soon enough, he goes out of site and I do not see him again. AARRRGGGHHH. I am not a good bandit. I get out of my stoop and go outside to question my manhood.Then POP POP POP. GUNFIRE!!!I run up the hill or, more to the point, the exact opposite direction of the gunfire. Once I'm up pretty high and have myself stuffed into a bush, pull out the Mosin and start doing some recon.Right in front of the church I see 3 dead bodies. One of them the semi bambi I saw earlier. And I see two other dudes scavenging their bodies. Oh I could feel my blood curdle. I know what's like way too often to be one of those bodies. I'm running so hot right now that I can barely aim straight even though I've caught my breath and I'm full prone ... POW POW let off two shots ... that miss BY A MILE!!!! The bandits take cover in separate buildings and they do not come out - at least not the way they came in. DAMNIT!!!! Time to bug out.I find a new roost and start scoping again ... nothing. Then RATTATATAT ... had to be a short range weapon from the sound of it but it was CLOSE. I get up and run to find a new roost and the two bandits are ON MY TAIL!!!!!!!!!!!! RATTATATAT wtf is that gun??? It's not hitting me but damn it's annoying. Then they get close enough to me to talk ... "Why are you running man?? If you're friendly don't run!!! Cmon [explicative]!!! I'm gonna [explicative] you!!!" WOW!!! For real guys??? I know it's just a game but shoot you sound like real thugs WTF LOL!!!! So I did what any villain fighter would do ...I RAN LIKE THE FRIGGIN WIND!!! I ran and I ran and I ran ... "STOP RUNNING FOOL I'M GONNA [EXPLICATIVE] YOU UP!!!!" I looked back to make sure I got a good look of the bandits but I could really only see one that was sporting one of those clown masks - how friggin quaint LOL.And finally, the taunting stopped.So I went and found a new roost and reconned some more. After several minutes ... I spot something. A guy with what appeared to be a short rifle searching about. A guy ...with a CLOWN MASK. I did not engage the enemy. I stalked the little [explicative] until he seemed to be backtracking. And I stalked him some more. Then he made his first mistake, he stopped. Maybe to drink? Maybe to eat? Either way, I had my breath, I had his ridiculous clown mask in my sites and I had him dialed in - KAPOW!!!! DIRECT HIT!!!! TANGO DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I waited a bit to see if he was still alive but no movement. But I wanted to make sure he could still hear me if he was still there so I made my way to his dead, foresaken body, stared him in the clown face and said "YA LIKE APPLES? HOW LIKE THEM APPLES, BITCH?" Dude was decked out unfortunately a lot of his weapons were damaged from my shot. He did have a Mosin kitted with camo paint and a crafted sheath, a short looking rifle with scope, tons of ammo ... and that stupid clown maskOh I never thought I could acheive such a sense of vindication from a friggin video game LOL. I felt bad ass. I felt invincible. And I was absolutely giddy in the fact that I'm about to strip this bastard of all his belongings that he likely stole from the masses of innocents. I HAVE AVENGED YOU BAMBIS!!!! I AM ... BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!At that point, it struck me like a ton of bricks ... THERE WERE TWO OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH SH*TTTTTTTTTT ..... BANG!!! "You're dead." 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jukaga 271 Posted November 12, 2014 Hah, good story and you learned a valuable lesson: always be aware of your surroundings and don't rush to loot your kills. Reposition and observe the scene before moving in for the loots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngjediknight 51 Posted November 12, 2014 Yea jukaga, definitely learned my lesson. But more importantly, I think I found my DayZ calling!!!! I am going to be an AVENGER. Well, ideally, I'd like to be a PROTECTOR but my shot is so piss poor, I may likely be too late to save a bambi's life. But I can be a serious annoyance to those that took a bambi's life LOL.

Yup. ill admit it became that way for me at one point, then i had an unconcoius dude plea to me for help after he went down. i patched him, up gave him food and water to replace what i ruined. it was a sad day for me :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngjediknight 51 Posted November 12, 2014 Ooohhh good points. The life of a bandit hunter indeed is plagued with moral complexities. I will need to give this some thought. I'd always thought maybe I wait to see the bandits commit a horrible act before I get all Judge Dredd on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

o5pr3y (DayZ) 77 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) I do the same thing when I get bored of just surviving alone. I have more fun watching people in Elektro and Cherno through my scope than I do shooting at them. I still have yet to ever KoS anyone without watching them attempt to murder or harm someone else. Just the other night I saved a freshly spawned bambi from 2 Zombies in Svetlojarsk, then slinked away into the forest so he couldn't find me. (I'm still paranoid and cautious of people lol).
