Swineflew's Journal

[Swineflew 480]

I think I'm going to start keeping record of my sessions. I do live stream but every guy and his brother streams and the vods aren't saved not to mention the streams can be boring when a lot of travel is involved.

7-24-12

I start out on a lonely beach. I was alt tabbed out when I spawned or wasn't paying attention when my location came up so I'm lost (which happens a lot without an in game map).

I start heading west. Eventually I run across a city and see a fire station, and from there I see another fire station in the distance, so I think I'm in elektro.

Zombies are all over and I'm on the hill next to the northern fire station. I'm totally unarmed at this point, so I crawl the whole way. I try to enter the back door, but there is barb wire blocking the door. I go around and find a dead body at the bottom of the stairs an take the Winchester and a few slugs off that body.

I head up the ladder and find nothing of interest that I recall. I retreat back up the hill to organize my stuff and move food and drinks to my pack. I see someone crawling towards the fire station that I just left. He must get in his bag or do something because he's standing crouched alone. He's not too far away so I line him up in my sights and fire off a shot. I hit him and he drops but not dead. I fire a few more rounds until he drops. I crawl to the body to find an m9sd and a few mags (my first silenced weapon) and a pack.

I then head to the supermarket between fire stations, found a nice amount of food and a map (map is a lifesaver for me). I head to the other fire station and hear gunshots, so I creep into the back door and see a guy with his gun sights right on my. I react as quick as I can and kill him in a single shot. This guy was loaded, akm and some mags, compass, matches, mags, an Alice pack with some food and an m107 (iirc big sniper rifle) the sniper rifle had no mags.

I head back to the other fire station before I retreat into the woods, once inside I hear shooting so I put my back to the wall under the stairs waiting for someone to enter. Out of the corner of my vision a rifle barrel is right next to my face. He didn't see me under the stairs. I kill him and he has nothing of any real value on his body. I retreat to the hills north of the city to check my gear and log out.

This story is full of inaccuracies since I didnt decide to make this journal until a day later, my vods will likely be up for a few days if you check my stream, but they'll be deleted soon unless they get 100 views (fat chance lol).

I'll keep updating this post and I'll make more accurate stories in the future.

Murderer.

[Swineflew 480]

Yea, that's mostly why I decided to post in the bandit section.

Thanks for reading though!

Any tips, suggestions, criticisms?

[Gogster (DayZ) 626]

Ah sorry, didn't realise - came here from the latest topic links on the home page, let me rephrase:

Murdering Scumbag :)

[Swineflew 480]

Ah, well thanks for that helpful criticism.

Although I think I'm a friendly enough guy, the only person I feel that wouldn't have shot me back is the guy who never saw me coming. The other ones I'm not so sure about.

I log in, double check my location.

North of elektro, I then decide to make a trip to elektro before I make my next move. I'm fairly equipped so I'm not too worried about running into opposition.

I debate on setting up a tent and messing with that as I've never done it before, but I decide I'll wait until later. After flanking the firehouse I decide to survey the area with my binocs. Area looks pretty dead. As usual I enter the fire house from the back door, then close it behind me. I walk to the red bay door to close them too before heading up the stairs, when all of a sudden someone walks in!

I shoot quickly killing the person who follows the first survivor in! I get a few shots off on the next guy as my character drops to the ground of a broken leg, I unload my clip into the person ahead of me. Too late though, and that is my first death in 2 days.

I spawn to the west of cherno and decide to do a quick run by of the supermarket before I race to elektro to see if I can get all that phat lewt before the other team gets there. Didn't find too much at the supermarket, although a full water canteen made me happy. I decide to peek into the firehouse and can't resist picking up a gun. I hear a shot and run like mad around the corner, then drop dead like 40 seconds later. Lag I guess.

I then spawn to the east of elektro and run back to the firestation. It's too late and the 2 guys are there already looting all the goods. They sit in there awhile before I see one of them leave so I start to crawl into a better position when someone spawns in the server staring straight at me. I'm vaguely hidden but I freeze, as the person stares at me they obviously aren't sure what to do until it happens, they fire one shot right into my head and I'm dead.

I decide to take a break since I'm not having any luck so far and update my journal. I may play a bit later today and see if I can turn my luck around.

I like using it for zombles since it was silenced. Of course it was my first SD so it was special to me. I did see the person who killed me walking around with it in my most recent update lol.

Well, I played a bit more and the same bad luck, I got in a deer stand near Balota and and Z knocked me down while coming down the ladder (the stand had no loot either) and I was knocked out pretty much while he ate about 9000 of my blood.

Respawned in cherno, found nothing in the fire station that I went too, but picked up an einfield from a barn on my journey to elektro. The western firestation was mostly empty nothing really of value, so I stopped by the supermarket on the way to the northern firestation and found some food, a map, and some matches, I'm promptly shot through the window and killed.

That ended my adventures for the day. We'll see what the future brings, but today it brought nothing but bad luck, or maybe just bad gameplay on my part.

Logged in a bit west from my fav city Elektro and after flanking far north and east of the city I approach the northern firestation from the hills. I find a dead body hanging out the back door, but no other signs of life. I get an enfield off his body and a bandage, I also find a PDW (my first time) in the tower along with a G17. I decide to take the PDW since I've never used it before and head to the supermarket, on my way I decide to head into a building I see. After clearing the bottom rooms of some food I head upstairs slowly, nobody at the top of the stairs, clearing out the rooms I didn't really find anything...... until I walk past a room I'd already been in and get shot, knocked out while the person walks up to me and ends my life. He must have come up behind me. Crap never even got to fire a bullet from my PDW.

Luckily I spawn west of Elektro and I race back to get the G17 from the firestation and run back to the building, but the guy is long gone. I retrieve my enfield that he didn't want, but my beloved PDW was gone. I head to the supermarket and find binocs and a map. Heading to west firestation I see someone run into the building, so I proceed slowly and peek in the back door, the survivor kills the chasing zombie with an m9sd, and boy do I love those, so I peek in as he heads to the stairs and fire off a great enfield shot that drops him to the ground, I quickly finish him off to find that he has a very nice stash of items.

FN FAL

Tent

compass

M9SD

ALICE pack

8 bandages

firewood

matches

toolkit

An FN-FAL got me very excited so I went back to the northern firestation and plopped down on a hill overlooking the field that leads there from the supermarket, after about 5-10 minutes Kenny Graham runs through the field and I fire off about 8 terrible shots, finally ending his life. I crawl to him and find that he didn't really have anything of value, so I take his bandages and head to the north to place my first tent. I head to the lake and decide that a tent in that general area to the north west is in the middle of the woods and close to water, so after climbing the hill and failing to drop a tent for a good 30 minutes I decide that tents hate me and log out for the evening.

I'm excited to have my FN FAL but ammo is very short and no matter how flat of ground I thought I was on, the tent didn't think it was good enough. I'd like to play around with it a bit since I've never messed with them before, but I'm having no luck. Oh well, there's always next time.

Brief break from DayZ since I didn't want to fiddle with sixlauncher, but I finally manually updated and was able to get in

7-29-12

Logged in north of Elektro and was able to finally drop my tent after some advice on the forums, saved it and immediatly left. I just wanted to see how it worked and now I know.... I know that it's on a server that I forgot about since it wasn't my normal server.... Oops.

I cut some wood and make a fire after finding a boar nearby. I fill up at the small lake north of Elektro and after a meal and drink I head down to the northern firestation. I loot the side buildings first and find an m203 HE round and some MP5SD rounds, I decide to not pick those up and move on. I come across a fence kit, I've never played with these so I'll give it a shot. I walk into the building through the back door and fence off the back door. Pretty neat. After closing all the doors I find a lone AKM on the ground with no mags. Weird to me, but I move on, next floor is a shotgun with slugs, I keep moving forward and start hearing flies, so I approach slowly, next floor ak-74 and 2 mags, no room in my bags for an extra weapon so I slowly make my way to the top floor and find a dead body. Nothing of interest there.

As I make my way down I see someone coming towards me so I book it into the hills east of the firestation, I let him get inside and then start heading towards the doors. I see him start to leave, but am still a bit further away than I'd like, so I fire some shots and he ducks back into the station, which I'd hoped for. What I didn't hope for was Zed aggro, just one but I'm under fire now so I make a choice, run and gun at the other player.

Luck was with me as I strafe-circle the entrance to the door from a fair distance and hit him a couple times, he drops and I'm not sure if he went prone or if I broke his legs, shooting while strafing isn't easy. So I take cover outside of the building around the corner to deal with my zombie friend.

Border Patrol was killed.

Was that my target? I slowly peak around the corner to find the target of my dead friend. I was surprised to find that I had given him enough time to loot the ak-74 from the 3rd floor before I was able to get to the firestation. I was hurt but not bleeding so I had myself another steak and decided to log out near my tent. So I head back to my tent, drink and refill my bottle.

After exiting game I realize that I have no idea what server I was on, but overall my goal was to learn about the tent, not really to use it. I don't normally live long enough to enjoy fun toys that I find.
