Warning and ROE(Rules of Engagement)

[Thatgingerkid 15]

This is kind of ridiculous when I have to say this on the forums, and I'm fairly sure everyone on the forums are the slightly more intelligent margin than some of the people that play this game.

So I will post this here so that any new players can read it and know one thing not to do.

I had this happen last night, kind of annoyed me. I was checking the apartments across from the hospital in Cherno. I came out of the Northern one, and was going to check the center one. As I come out, a man with a makarov comes around the corner of the center apartment. I immediately yell "Don't shoot, don't shoot. I'm friendly" and scamper back into the apartment. I had my revolver out to clear zeds and my 870 on my back. Immediately switch to that and place the front bead in the door way. I can hear his footsteps continuing closer. He walks around the corner with his shitty little makarov trained on me. So I blasted him with buckshot.

I can understand people not knowing the default buttons for communication. I can understand people assuming everyone is NOT friendly. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but if I smell shit I keep an eye out and try not to step in it.

If someone says they are friendly and retreats into a building, for the love of god, don't follow them and immediately point your gun at them. Try and communicate with them

I have decided to try and help new people. But when people make it hard for me to help them it makes me not WANT to help them

And in case anyone is wondering, caps lock is the default for VOIP, I suggest everyone with a mic have it set up where they can use it easily.

Heh we all would have done the same :)

The chat/Talk Commands ( / and Caps lock) aren't the most intuitive and I imagine a lot of people jump in without doing the ARMA Tutoiral or reading the key binds, but that doesn't excuse a lack of common freaking sense :)

If you don't know if he's friendly or coming in to cap you, you don't risk your life and stuff, you put down the threat :)

If I get a chance I normally tell them it's / to chat or Caps to talk if you have a mic, but in your situation it was kill or possibly be killed =p

Well I usually do. Have met a few ppl and taught them the binds for voice and text chat. Played with some randoms before for a couple hours before server issues split us up. But in this case I didn't have time, as I could hear his footsteps closing in and was focused on my own life at that point.

Every day the same useless threads...it starts to annoy me...

Then stop reading them and fuck off. I'm trying to help new people who read the forums by telling them what most people who have played the game for more than 2 weeks are going to say and assume.

I'm not saying killing people is against the concept of the game or that its evil.

Hell, I've been a bandit before. Had a week old character with 20 some bandit kills and 700 some zombie kills before I glitched out of a Offroad at full speed and died on impact.

Eventually you want to try something new. But you go ahead and keep howling for your NVGs and AS50s. I'm perfectly fine with an Enfield or MR43.

I bet they don't annoy you as much as your useless comment annoyed me.
