Creepiest "death"

[Ramblin Hans 118]

Ok, had to share something bizarre that happened to me. I logged in, after having logged out safely the night before in a remote spot. As soon as I load in, I see someone standing right over me, gun drawn. I freak out bolt a few feet and spin, M4A3 snapping to his center of mass, flipping the fire mode to FULL, announcing into the mic I am not a zombie but a fellow survivor. He doesn't move, but he's wearing a hero skin like me. He must be AFK...who would expect to see someone here of all places...I didn't. I move behind him 20 feet and line up a shot, while trying to continue to communicate. But there he is, just standing with his pistol out, not moving.

After a few more minutes, I decide to check him out more closely. I didn't really wan't to steal anything from his pack, but maybe I'd just peek. As I mouse wheel over him, it appears hes actually dead but in a standing position. I've seen that before, and started to laugh at myself a bit for getting so fooled. But, there were NO corpse flies at all, that's what fooled me I tell myself. Ok, lets check his pack.

Hmm, couple water bottles, an AS50, a mag for it, 1 morphine...wait that's what I have in my pack... mouse wheel > Study Body...

"His name was Tenebrous. It appears he died from"

W. T. F.

His face was not my face... he had no mustache, no glasses. In fact his face looked like it was burnt on one side. I took an AS50 mag, but was too nervous to take anything else, didn't want a curse or anything. Actually I was kinda worried the server was getting hacked or something, my friend who logged in with me said he heard a heli the second he spawned in...not a regular sight.

And no, I didn't drink a Mountain Dew the night before or visit Green Mountain.

Nice story, it's a video game.

I ran into a player model exactly like this with a similiar name. Had the hero skin and it appeared a burnt face or some sort. He had NVGs, GPS, toolbox, M9sd and some other garbage and a czech backpack. He actually took an m107 round to his dome before i realized it was a clone or a deadbody.
