Was i justified in this?

[Muncywolverine 236]

Ello,

So i'm raiding the Balota Airstrip ATC tower when i hear footsteps. I had just found an AKM and a G17, pretty good haul. I peek down the stairs and see a guy looting a pile under the stairs. After a day of getting stomped by bandits, suvivors, invisible hackers again, and again, and again, i was in no mood to die again to a random asshole.

So i shout over direct communication "OUT, OUT, OUT." - No responce.

I should again "OUT, OUT OR YOUR GETTING SHOT"

At this point he starts up the stairs (where i'm positioned, gun ready). I make the decision and drop him right there. He was about 5 ft away from me (just out of hatchet range)

Was it justified? Maybe he was a noob and didn't understand... idk... He was either obliviously walking up the stairs and hadn't noticed me, or was charging me with his hatchet.

:/

Justified.

No response.

I'll eat the murder.

Hasn't come to that for me in a long time.

You gave him a warning, he didn't follow it I personally would've done the same.

[Muncywolverine 236]

Added a poll, wanna see what people think. Not neccisarily about me but about that type of situation.

Whatever happened or didn't happen, the moment you pulled the trigger, you justified it yourself.

I waited a split second too long one day and ended up with about 2000 blood for hours and hours after being shot by a guy. I killed him in one hit, but he wounded me enough to lose 10000 blood. I didn't have matches to cook meat, nor anyone to give me a transfusion. If they don't talk, they are dead.

[Welch (DayZ) 756]

Yup, you were right. There were consequences had you not shot him, such as: You dying, loot competition (he could have something you want), you losing lots of blood, him stealing your stuff, etc.

You gave a warning, too. I'm usually paranoid when meeting someone and unless they shout, "Friendly! Friendly! Don't shoot!", and run, then I will probably shoot them...

[DoomsdayClock 34]

I think you did the right thing. MAYBE there's a slight chance that he didn't understand you or speak english or his speakers/headphones weren't working. But more often than not if someone's not responding to me then I treat them as hostile.

I once ignored someone who i thought was a noob with a hatchet just running around a town killing zombies, I made it clear that I was friendly. He didn't say anything. Two minutes later, he axes me in the back while I'm looting something. I had some half-decent gear too.

You gave him fair warning and he ignored you, you were justified defending yourself. Most people don't even give a warning ;)

My stance is that my survival is more important to me than your survival. If I think smell trouble, then I'm killing every fucker in the room.

Of course you're justified :3

Soo many people never respond to Global Communication.. it's lame. Even when I just want to chat Globally

[Muncywolverine 236]

Eighteen votes yes and not a single vote no O.o!

You guys are some ruthless motherf*ckers lol.

[AzVirus 25]

there I gave you your no, but what would I know - I am a bandit ~

[Muncywolverine 236]

So you lied! >.>

[bonasera 17]

You gave him two warnings and killed in self defense. 100% of the time, if someone doesn't respond to me, they'll try to kill me later on. Completely justified, and have my beans to calm your nerves.

[Othra 7]

I am almost willing to bet you my can of beans that the ONE downvote was the guy who had the hatchet.

Who the fuck cares? You made a choice. Get over yourself.

Seriously though. There have been 5.1 MILLION murders in this game since March. Can you imagine if everyone thought so much of their actions that they all made a poll about having shot someone?

[AzVirus 25]

@least his post was somewhat "new" unlike the 100's of I was killed by a hacker or BI sucks post.

[Boof (DayZ) 75]

He either wanted to kill you or was a foreigner. Either way he deserved to die.
