Ubernaut 297 Posted March 19, 2015 Normally I'm the type to play real quiet and solo, getting all that sweet military loot before someone guns me down at the exact moment I'm least prepared. This time around I decided to try interacting with other players in a positive way, so I spawned on Musty Gaming's private hive, grabbed some farming gear and headed on down to Kamyshovo. What happened after that was some of the most interesting gameplay I've had in a while. I chose the backyard of a house with the only pump in town so I'd be able to water plants and be visible to any newcomers. I had hoped to have a little food ready before anyone came by to make it less likely that I'd simply get jumped, but of course it didn't go down like that. No sooner do I plant the final seed than does this imbecilic-sounding player (Went by Kool-Aid) comes running at me with an axe and gets in a lucky hit as I'm trying to greet him. So after a little running around (you all know how it goes), I surprise him with my brass knuckles, taunt his lifeless body and get back to gardening. I debated giving up, since it was likely that he'd just respawn back there, but oh well. The next two players to happen by were friendly, and we had a good time for several minutes as the plants matured. My guests were able to eat, and all was well. One of them brought over a copy of "Heart of Darkness", and read it aloud to us around the campfire I had started. Then the guy with the pickaxe showed up. Ignoring our greetings, he went straight to the only seated person, and murdered him. All hell broke loose after that, as we tried to avenge our fallen comrade, now lying dead with his book still clutched in his hands. More players appeared, and the pickaxe guy proved to be a deadly combatant, as he killed my friend, another, and finally me. Then the players with guns moved into town and all merriment ceased. Kamyshovo is a graveyard now, overgrown with rotten pumpkins and zucchini, their caretaker claimed by the ravages of the end-of-days. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calvin Candie 189 Posted March 19, 2015 A guy with an axe killed 3 of you, maybe its time to consider solitaire XD. Although, nice story. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randomspawn 215 Posted March 19, 2015 A guy with an axe killed 3 of you, maybe its time to consider solitaire XD.Although, nice story.If it's an pickaxe vs brass knuckles, that is a tough fight. The axe dude had the range advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ubernaut 297 Posted March 19, 2015 Indeed.. It might have been because I was having a lot of framerate problems yesterday. New Nvidia driver, and I had to go back and change some settings. But yeah he sure got us. I suppose he has a lot more practice at melee than players who sit around in a garden and read books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted March 19, 2015 You certainly picked a location that was bound to be active and interesting... ... wouldn't you have a hoe from that gardening that you coulda used on the pickax guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ubernaut 297 Posted March 19, 2015 I did indeed have a hoe. Shame on me for not thinking of bringing it out. I'm not great at thinking on my feet very often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColdAtrophy 1850 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) That was funny to read. I'm thinking about doing some stuff like this. I'm gonna put on the next pink raincoat I find and take off my pants, running around Cherno with a lit flare in my hand while holding PTT and playing this: Maybe I can find one of those Payday masks...

blacklabel79 949 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) This allways happens...your garden is fine until the grinch with a picaxe shows up. ALLWAYS happens. I once had a kind soul watching over my garden. Total random dude and it was awesome. he fought off the grinch(es) and told people about the garden. All in all i served 6 happy customers but in the end Kami was a slaughterhouse..once more.
