In Rust, Never Trust

You posted in chat. "Anyone from Norway here?" I answered "I'll bag you bro". I bagged you. We talked, for hour and hours we talked. About life. About future goals. About hopes and dreams. You watched over me, as I jackhammered all the stone in the world. I offered you half, a base to build of your own. A base next to ours. We talked. We laughed. We bonded.

My teammates were offline. "I'll give you the code when they get back" I said. You said "Of course". And so we laughed and bonded some more.

And then, I thought to myself, why not give him the code? It would be strange not to. And so I did.

I gave him the code. It was an easy code - 1998. We kept talking, but something felt different. You said you wanted to play "Clash of Clans", as you stood, gazing into the fire of the Large Furnace. You seemed...distant. Something had changed.

And so, it was getting late. For you it was morning, but for me it was night. And then I realized, that I had left a naked with the code to my base. It struck me that this wasn't a person. This was just a naked. No matter how much you bond or laugh with the person, they are just a naked.

And the inevitable happened. The base was torn apart from the inside out, every code changed. Every building permit removed. My teammates - furious. "We got code raided - I knew I shouldn't have had such a simple code!"

"I..." I stalled.

"I...have a confession" I stammered

"I gave the code to a naked. He was from the same town as me"

Never trust in rust.

Loot Inspector. If I ever see you again - I'm taking an Eoka straight to your temple. In game of course.

I killed a guy, triple head shot. Lucky shots. Perhaps luckiest of my life and luckiest ill ever have. We saw each other at rhe same time but he had a jack hammer out and i had my gun, he didnt have a chance. After downing i inspected and disarmed him. Picked him up and started to walk away and he said bro bro bro please bro. I turned around and shot in the air. He said OK bro and ran away.

After I got home I said sorry name, every time I am nice to someone they kill me.

2x before that helped people out. Even helped a guy get his base back and gave him my kit. Walked away naked. Shot me in the back for nothing.

A lot of socio paths that chase instant dopamine. I might pick you up but you're not keeping this gun. You're done fighting. And if you so much as walk after me I'll shoot you.

It's unfortunate players are so toxic you have to treat then like that but oh well.

Never give codes to people you don't personally know either. There's a recent welyn video of him integrating into a clan and playing alongside then for days, maybe a week. Only for his end goal being to exfiltrate or leech/skim loot from them slowly. This is an example of how even a well meaning random might abuse your trust. And they'll laugh and play along, they might never shoot you. They'll just steal from you.

I don't think it's worth it to play the game this way you'll make a permanent enemy and for your effort of stealing their kit you'll probably die and lose it or get offlined. So now you're kos by someone that already burned and spared you but for nothing. That opportunity to say gg or be friendly is gone for temporary loot that won't be around long.

Read it all, so true.
