TheLibrarian 71 Posted August 23, 2012 I was killed by a hacker about a week ago. This experience did not sour me of DayZ, but made me rethink the way I was playing. So, I present to you, Cody's Hardmode.I carry no gun. Not even in my pack. I have a hatchet on my toolbelt but I will only pull it out if I NEED it to save YOU. If you are being chased by zekes, I will do my best to get their attention. I will escort you out of Elektrozavodsk, the city I have made my home. I will not shoot at you or attack you or do anything but make sure you have enough food, drink and health to get out of the city and on your way.I have been killed five times since I switched my play style to this. I will get killed numerous times in the future I am sure. I will stand and salute any bandit that chooses to fire on me. I have nothing to lose, just my own humanity to gain. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joecacti 0 Posted August 23, 2012 I want to add, I will try this, but I have to keep my axe out because there is way too much delay in opening my gear, right clicking the hatchet, left clicking the context menu to take from tool belt, and then finally reloading the hatchet. And then, sometimes it won't reload. So to avoid losing 2k blood while I fiddle with all that and Joe Zombie mauls me, I will keep my axe out thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLibrarian 71 Posted August 23, 2012 Joe, I recommend also keeping your flash light in your pistol slot then. A drawn hatchet could show a reasonable amount of hostility. You don't need someone seeing your hatchet in the ready position and misinterpreting that. In the daylight I can lose zekes inside the city without having to kill any of them. My hatchet stays on my toolbelt because I am NOT hostile. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azrail (DayZ) 211 Posted August 23, 2012 sounds like your average life time is rather short.but you gotta do what you gotta do i guess :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLibrarian 71 Posted August 23, 2012 Azrail, it's true. My lifespan is usually about four to five hours. But, my human to human interactions are no longer hindered by my gear. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordynarz 0 Posted August 24, 2012 I didn't believe it at first, but I ran into Cody inside the school in electro. He gave me food and drink and even a blood transfusion. And then he pulled every zombie away from the school so I could make my escape! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordynarz 0 Posted August 24, 2012 I think it's great what he is doing! It would be nice if we all ran around with no weapons drawn when we are scavenging. We could use a house to pull them out. Ya i know you might now find an opening and die but thats the game :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poor_Survivor 2 Posted August 24, 2012 What server do you plan on, and around what time? I'm gonna be headed through Elektro at some point next time i'm playing, would love to meet up, spend some time just chilling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerwyn 77 Posted August 24, 2012 This sounds like a cool idea, personally I've gotten pretty good (in my own opinion, based entirely on my 4:1 success rate) at getting in and out of Elektro when I'm gearing up on a new life to need your services, but my hat's off to you sir, for you live a nobly, and here's a can of beans as thanks, you may save my life one day, and should be properly rewarded.

Element47 2481 Posted August 24, 2012 Cody, you need to post more replies, so i can give you more beans.i would love to bring some boar steaks to a BBQ on the streets of Elektro, if i knew where to meet you :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLibrarian 71 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I normally play on US267 Oregon and US 104 Chicago. My home server, US 6 Portland hasn't been online in awhile, so I've been floating looking for a good server with a decent pingtime and plenty of players. I am open to suggestion as I do not maintain a tent or any kind of necessary campsite. I do live UTC -7 or -8 I can't remember, but my play time is usually right around 2200-0300I don't use any outside voice communication so if you want to chat you'll have to PM me here.

Kykle 1 Posted August 25, 2012 Bandits beware Cody Lundin is not as easy a target as you may think. I hear he has a silent protector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLibrarian 71 Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Alive and well at this point. Looking to play, but being on a quiet server is not what I'm looking for at the moment.Signing into US 1088 since my preferred server has 3 people on it.edit: 6:38am gmt-7, To the AUS/NZ player who got killed in front of me in the church, I'm sorry Raymond, i didn't see him until it was too late as well. I would've warned you. Edited August 28, 2012 by Cody_Lundin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLibrarian 71 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) I started to carry weapons at the beginning of October. I still will not approach a player armed, unless they catch me unaware. I have joined Trusted Medics of the Wasteland and as such at times I must carry a firearm. Here is a video of my attempting to make contact with some players.http://www.youtube.c...ed/VhpgAqKXCYA Edited October 25, 2012 by Cody_Lundin 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
