My First Friendly

[Carnage752 15]

So I've been playing DayZ for about a month now. I've faced many hardships and victories. Unfortunately, I'm too nice a person, and this has led me to hesitate far too many times when I see a player. Combine that with my inexperience at ArmA gunplay, and that equals every player encounter so far lost. I was determined to stop. I was determined to kill.

Today, as I was looting Cherno during a nightime server, I heard a single gunshot. I've learned to fear these gunshots, and I quickly ran back into the church I was scavenging and closed the door. I leaned out of a corner, took out my AK-74 Kobra, and waited.

I didn't hear anything for awhile, and was only half paying attention when the doors opened. My heart stopped. It took me a two costly seconds to sight the figure crouching a little right to where my gun was. He ran back though and closed the door.

He then tried to communicate. Ya. I was stunned. We exchanged friendlies, he offered me a morphine shot, and then I told him I was leaving the building. He promised not to shoot me. He kept his word.

He sadly turned down offers to scavenge with me, but the experience was enough. It taught me two things. First: I need to sight targets alot more quickly if I want to survive. Second: Friendlues are not mythological.

Granted though, if I hear gunshots again and see anotther armed man running around, you better announce friendly fast, because I will kill you.

LOL At this, If your friendly with no skills, with the ArmA engine, your more likely to suceed than to be a Bandit with no skill.

-Lucky for you that person was friendly.

There are still some of us out there... Somewhere. xD

Unfortunately most of us take to the bushes and avoid contact these days for fear of bandits. :(

I've met four so far in a week. The first came at me with a face of a zed carrying an axe. I thought I was a gonna, he dropped some kit lit a flare and crawled off. Last I saw was a couple zedz beating a plume of smoke. Never said a word.

The second followed me into a barn in the middle of no where, scared the living daylights out of me as he popped a few zeds on his way in. He asked me to give him a transfusion, which I didn't know how to do lol. Then let me take a Enfield and ammo out of his bag. Then off he went as quick as he arrived.

Last two in Electro, guy helping one new spawner and let me tag along. Was a very brief affair, got to chat but I think that gave us away. All of us got murdered in minutes. Never had a chance to even exchange names lol.

So they are out there. :)
