So after being hunted by some noob killing bandito (tosspot)

Saffy and i finally managed to find each other and then messed up any attempt at finding Bethor, however we werent helped by Bethor going East instead of West (he made up for it by finding new weapons whilst Saffy and I managed to be low on ammo)

we did that. Using roads to navigate was a great idea until zombie horde caused us to go cross country ;)

I do think Garry and I were too cautious though, by avoiding towns.
Yes, we didnt get hurt by z's (much), but we also eliminated many of our chances to find loot, if only ammo and bandages to kill moar z's. But then, our hope was to link up with you asap (which failed).

Apparently sun follows rl sun position and the game has rl lunar cycles as well. So there'll be some very dark nights and brighter ones.

found a sniper rifle
than found out that shooting in town is not the best idea ever. It actually is a very bad idea.
gun being used being a sniper rifle didnt help much

so i had a winchester, switched that for a sniper rifle i had on me when i died
i had a 1911 pistol with 0 clips left (i emptied 2)
and around 25 Z down

Didnt I tell you that yet?  ;)
Shooting a (loud) gun aint always the best course of action  :)

Actually, when one z from a larger group spotted Garry and me, we lured it away from town and killed it there. Worked well...

So I'm up and running.
First time around I spawned south of Prigorodky and got shot by a player who left two zombies to feast on me.

Second time around I spawned south of the eastern outskirt of Chernogorsk, passed Prigo heading east and and made it halfway from Cherno to Rog.
Lost connection to server, but I should be somewhere just south of Pusta on top of the mountain. Was just about to cross over the top of the mountainy bit as the server started acting up.

Plan is to head along the north of the Dam to Rog. If I die along the way, I'm just waiting for one of you to die so we can walk together. =P

I feel alone. I'm scared. I trust no one.

Testing Tapatalk as I can't sleep due to recent zombie activity.

do trust non one, strength in numbers.

If you are lucky Rog will have a few zombos and lots of gear ;) we logged out on top of main keep (apart from Jon who thought abseiling down inside of keep without a rope was a good idea)
