Met a nice person finally lol

A few days ago I was in Stary Sobor raiding the military base when I hear someone singing "In the Jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight." I was a little confused at first and made sure I switched the chat to direct communication. I can still hear the guy. "ok" I thought, hes here and I'm sure he knows I'm here. Now up to this point, many times I have been shot and killed in these tents, always from a guy on the hill overlooking the tents/town. Of course I am in a tent looking directly at the hill and I keep scanning but I do not see him.

Over the mic I hear him say "anyone there?" I type "friendly?" even though I know his reply could be a lie or he could say yes and then shoot me anyway. He says a few things over the mic that I dont hear to well due to ambient sounds in the game. He then clearly tells me "why dont you drop all of your stuff, and I'll let you live." I reply "no" and I switch my AKM (that I just aquired) to full auto. We actually talk a little bit and we both conclude that there is no way that we can trust eachother as we are both use to just being shot on sight. This is the first time I've really talked to anyone in game. He starts talking again, but as he does, a zombie spawns infront of my tent and charges in at me. Forgetting to change from my AKM to the 1911 I had, I shot at it killing it. This leads to the whole town coming into my tent. He tells me over the mic that the whole town is coming after me now. Eventually I switch back to the pistol and get knocked out by a few zombies. I hear him over the mic "I can hear you dying in there".

I wake up and finish the last zombies with my pistol. I'm about 4500 blood and the stranger that was talking to me over the mic is now infront of my tent shooting some zombies are attacking him. I have a clear shot to kill him and take his stuff I thought. After a few quick burst his silenced AR makes easy work of them. He asks me if I need blood which I tell him I do, he tells me location of two downed helicopters with a chance of finding some blood at them. He then makes me an offer. I leave town and the base and he will let me live, aslong as I leave and dont turn around as he wants to continue to loot the town. At this point I have enough food and water to last a long time and enough AKM ammo to last a while too. He then makes the point of "If I wanted to kill you I could have already." Which he easily could have while I was knocked out in the tent. Based on this and this alone I agree to his terms and crouch run out of town. I free look back but dont ever see him again.

I should have asked what his name was, but this was my first friendly encounter and hopefully not the last. I've still yet to shoot on sight and this gives me hope that there are other people that I could meet and actually talk it out instead of killing one another.

Nice story

Yeah, that is rare mate, I'd have shot you on sight and then took all your stuff too. Nice guys usually end up with a bullet in the face.

Or multiple bullets in their torso, arms and legs. Depends on their killer's accuracy.

Well as is this is not real life I think it's worth to risk being shot while helping others. You might gain a friend and that's always helpful, or not?

Nicely told story.

Few people realize how thrilling these "friendly" and mistrustful meetings are.

Yea it was very nerve racking because I was ready for the guy to pop into the tent and unload on me. I was in the trees on the hill looking into the the town/barracks and thought I heard foot steps but never saw anyone. It was getting dark so it was hard to see. It possibly was him and I just missed seeing him. Ive never negotiated with anyone in a video game before. I found this mistrusted adventure more fun then shooting at someone from a distance. Ive played enough BF3.
