Difficult Players

[Heatofbattle 49]

So today I was running around Lagtro when I decided to go into the fire station. I had a IZH shotgun with 10 rounds, but wanted no trouble.

So im looting the overfilled fire station(loot glitch) when I am hit from the left. I raise my gun and put 2 rounds into a man with a shovel. His friend behind him begs me not to kill him, and I tell him to leave. After this I cannot hear anything he says due to background noise IRL plus Skype friend. I repeatadly tell him to leave for 30ish seconds before counting down and then he finally leaves. I kill him later on when he rages at me when i see him(noise cleared)

So my question is, do you give this much time to difficult players* before you shoot them? Thanks.

*As in when you have a firearm and they don't and they ignore your orders.

For me, I normally tell people to stay away from me if I'm geared up enough. They have one chance. If they don't go away then I kill them. 

 

I normally try to make friends and communicate with people, though. But I'm still wary. Of things.

Was on a full server today, ran into a Bambi, tried to not blast him as he crouch-slashed me with his rusted Machete.

 

Let him miss for 10 seconds as I easily evaded, kept saying "Move away dude I dont want to kill you". Finally had to cap him  :|

 

Not sure how to deal with these folks either.

there are no bambies out there, only killer that are searching for guns to kill you!

DO NOT KILL THEM!!

 

You break their legs let them crawl around for half an hour and see how much fun that is. They will quickly realise this is not a good strategy.

 

Fresho's do this usually for one of two reasons. They have nothing to lose and if they get lucky with you they can go from zero to hero or they want to die as they want a better spawn.

 

Either way they are not concerned about dying. Don't give them that chance. PUNISH THEM! and what better way than making them crawl LOL!

this is the mentality that made this a deathmatch-game

 

seriously, you could fill all the servers with mute KoS arma 2 bots and nobody would notice because of this mindset

I can imagine all the hacker threads that would pop up.  :D

 

OT: Guilt by association. No survivors. Cue Frank Sinatra's "That's Life".

I always have a soundclip from SAW ready to play in my background. If I run into one of these guys, I blast them in the knee and tie them up. Then, I trap them in the tallest building I can find and attract zombies.

Hilarity ensues.

If I'm feeling like a real asshole, I bring them to a forest, THEN shoot their legs and let them crawl.

If someone aims their gun in my general direction I have a tendency to shoot them.
I used to be nice but after having someone try blast me with a shotgun while they were saying friendly between their shots I don't trust anyone.

If I told someone to leave and they didn't do it fast enough I would have shot them, Not necessarily to death but I would have shot them to show that when I say leave I mean that you should be running.

I don't tend to shoot anyone if I can avoid it, but bambis who have their voip set way too low to hear and who spend all the time trying to get within swinging distance from you are a real pain in the ass.

You're one chance nicer than I am

Lol, one of the reasons I let him live so long was that I had no idea what he was saying.

[gearjammer 97]

I try to stay positive with difficult players. I prefer to think of it as sending them on a nice, all-inclusive, beach vacation.

[Death By Crowbar 1213]

I die more often than not because I get too trusting. However, I NEVER EVER trust bambis. There's a reason that dude's naked - it's more likely because they were death matching and getting into trouble than died from zeds, banditry, or KOS. Or to put it another way, bambis probably just lost everything because they're the type of survivor you don't want to be around and they have nothing to lose. Never trust a bambi. You don't need to KOS them, but any bambi that looks rabid or suspicious should be suppressed.
