Be polite.

[Lulu! 3]

"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet." - USMC Officer James Mattis.

I would like to point this out to most of you avid survivors and soon to be bandits in our gloomy and lonely world of Chernarus. Many of you have decided it is far more easy to simply kill the man next to you for his food rather than politely ask if he has any to spare. Many of you have decided it is far more simple to execute first and ask questions later on even the most unsuspecting and unarmed survivors in the most distant portion of our island. This is true for some, but false for most!

Please, take the time to consider that though you may not fully trust the armed psychopath directly next to you, he may be your best friend. He may ask his friend to come over to heal you or give you valuable supplies you need to survive. He may recognize you later on and save your skin when you're being chased by a ghastly group of flesh-mongering ghouls. He may even put his own life on the line and make the ultimate sacrifice to keep you alive and guarantee you'll make it at least another day. That person could plan to murder you while you feast on your hard earned beans, or when you're topping off the ol' tank with water. He could do a number of terrible and horrendous things that can make your skin crawl, or he can be your one true friend in the apocalypse and the one soul keeping you sane. OR you can shoot him and take just one can of beans and move on; that's completely up to you.

With that I would like to to say "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."

Sincerely, someone who would rather work together than die alone.

If you use memes in side chat, or the word "trolling", or the words "good sir" in conjunction, or the words and variants of "derp", I will go out of my way to kill you. The only thing worse than a zombie apocalypse is having to survive with tedious people.

[deadbolt (DayZ) 10]

yes... i will kill everyone i meet

[SDE Bellisarius 1]

I agree with your post but the mentality in the game has changed allot in the last week.

When i began playing i remember the first 2 days i would stumble by survivors and none of us shot each other and actually sticked together, but i suspect that all the gaming publications that are posting articles about the mod and making it popular are to blame for this.

because ALL of them ALWAYS mention the intrigue/standoffs and general perception that you CANNOT TRUS ANYONE and thus all those new players come to the game already distrustful of ppl. None come with the mindset of surviving/community/better odds by numbers.

[deadbolt (DayZ) 10]

not to mention all the people that have been betrayed and no longer trust anyone

Every thread I come into, you beat me at saying /exactly/ what I want to say.

Goddamnit Mr Delicious

[pendergraft 1]

Believe it or not, Anton Chigurh was once considered tedious. Now he's just colloquially considered meh. How do you like that, Mr. Delicious? Meh. Mehmehmehmememhmehmehmehmemrrrnnnrrhrrmrnrhmmmrrohbbbabyyy.

EDIT: For the full effect, you must imagine me saying, "Mehmehmehmeh," with my head shifting quickly from side to side and my mouth almost blubbering the words.

EDIT 2: And, as I reach the "mrrrrmmrrhhnrrrmmobbabybyyyyy" part, my hands have spontaneously located my nipples.

I've had so many good moments when I choose not to pull the trigger, and decide to help people out. It's turned out well about half the time, worth death for me if I'm alone!

What does good sir have to do with anything?

And, when trying to warn people about traps, I will loudly say "Its a Tarp!"

Deal with it.

Wanna kill me? I'll just respawn.

I remember the same thing. Was running into Chernogorsk the very first minute i tried out the mod, having no real clue what was going on other than thinking that it might be a good spot to check out.

Ended up dragging along quite a few zombies on my way in, but got saved by 6 other guys, half of them bandits and half survivors. I've yet to experience that again, now most encounters with others are mostly gonna end up with one side losing out in a gunfight.

Makes me a bit sad, but it's the way the game has evolved.

Good sir is contrived manners. It's fake and lame and not genuine. It's used to congratulate or affirm, but it demonstrates that you couldn't come up with anything of your own to say, or even a "thanks" or "good job" and instead have to be derivative. I'm sure good sir was funny one of the first times it was used in repartee, but hearing it for the fifth time in a row from a different person each time makes me feel like I'm playing Fable and instead of NPCs spouting the same irritating line, it's morons saying good sir. It's like nobody has a personality. I'm playing a wonderfully immersive multiplayer online experience and the other characters in the world only speak in meaningless, derivative platitudes that exude fake niceness. I'm not on reddit, I'm not on 4chan, I'm in a zombie apocalypse. I will kill myself immediately if all that's left at the end of the world are the lost unoriginal people in existence.

And that's why I hate good sir.

You're rude and cheeky but I don't mind, because that's who you are and you need to keep both hands on the guitar, plucking those strings for rude and cheeky boys everywhere, because if you don't, nobody will.

It's because that shit is extremely unfunny.

You're not funny or witty if you can regurgitate a bunch of random pop-references and internet memes.

After a while, when so many people do it, it becomes mindless spam.

The point wasn't to say that it's a fact that he's unfunny objectively, but rather why I (and others) see that try-hard, regurgitated humor, as distasteful.

Not sure a warmongering, gun blazing, "holier than thou" imperialist moron is a good role model, though if he is, then that might explain many things :)

I like what you tried to imply there, too bad I go everywhere. I met people even out of nowhere.

You're pretty rude yourself if you didn't notice. Lighten up pal and stop being such a killjoy.

You guys aren't being very polite at all!!!

Like, just relax, my bros. Sure hearing a dude sing that tralala song on the mic is annoying, sure you don't have stairs in your house. It's cool, you don't have to get all stern and threatening at a bunch of dweebs about shitty jokes.

This was lame and stupid, though.

Protip: This Ace Ventura bullshit doesn't really transfer to text, and if you have to explain a gag, in detail, with notes, it's not funny

Your buddies at the lunch table, might think this is A-game material, you made that one kid spit milk from his nose, but come on this is the big leagues, this is a Forum. On the Internet.

Why must you hate on what others find funny?

What people find funny is usually a good reference as to who they are.

So, for example, if somebody thinks that killing a dog is funny, they're fucked up. If somebody thinks that saying "penis" is funny, they're usually either 14 or extremely immature.

It's indicative of who they are.

Now about spouting the memes and the "good sirs", I don't really care on an individual level. But when I get onto a server and that's a large portion of what I see in chat it becomes spam. It's like if I were to get in game right now and start saying the same joke over and over again in 5 minute increments.

It's not something that really ruins the game for me or is even really a big deal to me personally, but Mr.Delicious (mmm so delicious) has a point (which is my point).
