This morning I finally went 500 hours in Chernarus without killing anyone.
Its a major personal achievement although I guess some think I'm a loser or worse.
The only person I killed was at 20 hours in Chernarus. That was some psycho on a police station rooftop who wouldn't calm down and kept trying to beat me to death. Finally I tried to wound them with my machine gun but sadly it simply shredded them.
Seventy hours ago it dawned on me I could aim for this 500 hour goal - its been a long 70 hours - thoughts of what happens if I have to rescue someone from a psycho - clearly my goal isn't that important - people come first.
Over these past 500 hous I have met some nice people. In The Village - Windstride, then Gio and his friend in Red.
Of course, so many psychos out there, and trying to just wound them nearly always leads to my death.
Anyhow, what next -
Apart from base building I'll be also be exploring the map, especially town centers and looking to help friendly survivors.
However, my days of just trying to wound psychos are over - from now its send them back to respawn in hell.
If we meet, say 'Hi', as I'll never attack first.
My mantra - its better to die than kill a good person,
Slight drawback - one has to like respawning
