The raiders are not going to randomly shoot you unless they see some potential gain. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I think barges full of supplies/food are reason enough to shoot. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

"The raiders are not going to randomly shoot you unless they see some potential gain."
You're joking right? People will be just as sadistic (if not more so) in the ZPAW as they are right now. If you think human nature is going to come together without folly, then you are just being naive.

History has shown us that there will always be those who prey on the unsuspecting. Unless you are naked, there is something to gain from killing a survivor.

"You have it. I want it. I'll take it." Clothing, weapons, food, metal, etc. There's nothing 'random' about it.

What I meant is try and disguise it, make the barge look like it's in bad condition and dont put your sentries in completely exposed positions

I didn't think they'd come together without folly, I was thinking they'd send a boat out to see what the people in the barge had before killing them.

That's true but we half to imagine that some people even raiders will get scared and many see you as a threat, and want to get rid of the threat being you by killing you thinking better safe than sorry. Hope that makes sence. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Ditto. I can see a few members of my family getting punched in the mouth too.

In all the Z-poc issues that one moment would almost, sorta, barely-but-not-quite make it worth it.

Billy the Kid once shot a man for snoring too loud. He had the fear of the law finding out. Post Z there won't even be that.

You're making the mistake of assuming you can think like a person with criminal and/or violent behavior patters and anticipate their behavior. You can't. The lack of morals that makes such people act differently that the rest of us goes much deeper that just a decision to do harm to others for some benefit. Do you find this valuable?

FTW, i would never randomly shoot at a person that i saw just walking along, i might take aim until i can figure out whether they're a threat or not, but no way would i just randomly shoot them, thank god i don't live in america, atleast i know that a true aussie wouldn't do somthing like that.

Please define a "true Aussie," making sure that you don't universalize any attributes in the process.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are Australians not people, or did something go horribly awry somewhere? Or perhaps there's just something it the water that cancels out basic human nature.

Anyone who has watched (repeatedly and in great detail, such as I) the documentary series Mad Max knows exactly how Australia is today let alone post A-Poc.
