MaryW Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I'd not played much the last three days, but jumped in solo again last night. A meat-space mate popped over my house so we had a brandy and then another bottle. I wasn't really playing, just mooching and my game-play reflected this. I was in a saloon, sipping beers and whiskys, wandering about and waving to the NPCs. A real life person showed up. waved, had a beer. Then another. We all got hair-cuts and drank more whisky and before too long there were a couple of posses, all of us getting drunk and getting along. For fun we tried out the posse feud thing which was a laugh, everyone opting for fists and having a good old brawl. Every now and then I'd respawn away from my drink so would rush back into town, sometimes forgetting and blasting my sawn-off cos I was drunk in real life and it was a case of shoot first, open eyes later. More brandy in real life. More drinks at the saloon. It seemed like the entire server was in this bar just having a mooch. Are these all actual people, asked my mate Those updates appeared in the midst of all this but I was too 'tipsy' to notice any change. Good fun. So, woke up with a real, undigital hangover, loaded up the PS, cantered to a saloon, had more drinks and stood in the road, waving, drinking, and it happened again. People showed up, waved, drank, acted odd and good, punched a couple of pedestrians and galloped away. Good fun. I'm still there, I think. Rhodes? Dunno. Need tea and an aspirin. 1
Kormath Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Love it! You sure you aren't imagining it? i've never seen any player interaction online without griefing, but then again i've only played a total of maybe 4 hours. I hear a great cure for hangover is strong tea (with brandy) and honey.
LinXX Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I too have experienced times like this. It does happen but you have to be on a good server for it. I remember walking into a group getting drunk and then having races in the middle of the town. It was hilarious to watch and listen to. I think the one guy may have been streaming it.
MaryW Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 I think if you stand, wave, drink at enough people a like-minded person will show up, Kormath. I'm defo gonna try it next time I'm having a real drink at home. It's great fun ain't it LinXX. I'm going to try it in that same bar, the one that does haircuts. I wonder if you drink too much in-game it'll give you some bad-decision haircut options?
VampireKrush Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I keep trying to spend more time online but I get pretty frustrated with people. It is good to come across people like this though. I seldom do. People either keep to themselves or troll each other.
MaryW Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 Hopefully the new anti-griefing methods will go some way towards making it more fun for non-griefers, VampireKrush. I hope so because I never bother storing pelts or carcasses on my horse cos why bother unless you're running straight to the butcher, and even then you risk losing it.
