'sup.

Here are some rules/intel/behavior/tips/quotes i'd like to share (but are not worth a wiki article).

Quotes
"Chernarus ain't like twitter, i don't need followers" proceed to shot crawlers to the head.

General rules

 * 1) Never give anyone your exact location.
 * Otherwise you are easy to find.
 * Don't be accurate : I'am in SomeTown in Church.
 * Be innacurate or lie : I'am around Sometown, I'm in a town on the northside, I'm on the secret island.
 * 1) Never tell someone about that nice item you just found.
 * Otherwise you'll put a bounty on your own head.
 * If you broke rule #1, the bounty is higher.
 * Breaking this rule may broke rule#1. I've found a M16 Acog = I'm at NW Airfiel in the barracks (95% sure, 5% = firestation).
 * 1) Never use chat for things that are not important.
 * It costs time.
 * It lowers your awareness.
 * Newbies will learn by themselves.
 * Trying to help someone shows humanity ... shall i remember where you stand ?
 * 1) Never trust anybody.
 * Some players thinks this mod is Call of Douchebaggery and are only connected in order to have frags.
 * Common sentences you'll hear before dying it is not a trap, i will not shoot you, help me and i give you something, etc.
 * Signs that show you are about do die : meeting place is in the open or has a tower at 200m (best place to look at a naive survivor through a sniper scope), i cannot see you, come to that large open place so i can see you, oh you are coming, let me tell one more time my location so anyone can come and find us, wait for me near window [so i can adjust my 203].

Respawning

 * Your position is written on the screen.
 * Go hide ASAP.
 * Find a map and choose a path.
 * Loot only food (to heal from 1st zombies), tools (matchbox, map, compass) and ammos (for Makarov) until you have a bigger backpack and a decent weapon (1911, revolver, AKs, AR15s).
 * Avoid Cherno and Elektro.
 * Because of campers (i've seen campers over Cherno's market, they were only killing survivors for fun).
 * Because of newbies you would like to help (they will break all rules and get you killed).
 * Because it's crowded and stuff is already taken.
 * Read chat to know what part of the town is crowded.
 * Reach an inland town.
 * Avoid shooting areas (NW Airfield and Stary Sobor military camp) unless you have a weapon to take snipers and campers out.
 * Set chat to Direct Communication so you will not break rule #3.

Tips

 * Gunfire = danger (murder, chase, newbies).
 * Newbies = death magnet.
 * Talker = death magnet.
 * Rusher = death magnet.
 * Remember, only 25% of players use text chat. Others are silent, using voip with teamates or reading the chat to find victims (rules #1 & #2).
 * Loot zone are overwatched by a camper.
 * Keep similar items to reduce inventory lines (2 pepsi = 1 line, 1 pepsi + 1 coca = 2 lines).
 * Keep 1 bandage outside of backpack for fast actions.
 * Find a correct amount of bottle to carry (1 is not enough, 6 take too much space).
 * On map, compass show your actual azimuth.
 * When you have found a matchbox, learn to make a fire.
 * Metagaming is everywhere (15 km away, any player can read chat).
 * Not playing for a long time (>1day ?), then make sure you disconnected with food and water in your inventory because the next time you'll log in, your character will be very hungry and very thirsty.
 * more tips to come.

Mental strength

 * Be ready to die, often.
 * Be reay to loose stuff.
 * Be ready to kill and let die, even an helpless guy.
 * You cannot win, because you are stuck on a island.
 * You'll see douchebags (i kill newbies because i can and it's allowed).
 * You'll encounter cowards and traitor.
 * You'll get killed at spawn for your beans.
 * You'll run into traps.
 * You'll rage.
 * You'll not understand the players behaviors.
 * You'll see friendly guys being ambushed by douchebag-chat-reader.
 * You'll read desperate words from dead survivors.
 * You'll become a crazy guy who kills anyone in Cherno.

But do not loose you real humanity, it's the difference between a zombie and a true survivor. ♣ 762x51mm (FR9)
