Giving Random Players A Secretly Jammed Gun - "A Social Experiment"
So you meet a random player in a survival game and give him a loaded gun, and you maybe even look away. What do you think that player will do?
What do you think this says about people? Do you believe this carries over to how people would behave outside of a videogame, provided there are no consequences to their actions? Or do you believe people are better than that, and wouldn't do such a thing to a real person?

Some dirty people out there. And I think this is how most that pulled the trigger would act IRL situation, not all but most.

Congratulations, you played yourself.

All i can say is I would not have shot the person if he gave me the gun
-
In Dayz I would. More supplies is better ;) [spoiler]H1Z1 is doing better.[/spoiler]

I think it depends on the situation. Post apocalypse, I wouldn't be giving away loaded weapons to randoms. Don't play yourself!

In real life, no. For all the talk a lot of Americans have about owning guns to "protect themselves", a lot of them wouldn't have the balls to shoot someone. I served 12 years in the British army. Shooting at people that are trying to kill you is one thing but shooting someone in the back that has just offered you help, even I wouldn't be able to do that and i'm a known dickhead.

I don't think most people would have the balls to kill a person in real life, much less do it in that kind of fashion. In a survival situation most people will crumble. Our society doesn't cater to those who prepare for scenarios like those found in DayZ. Zombies are clearly a stretch of the imagination but natural disaster situations would play out in frighteningly similar ways. They ("preppers") are largely scoffed at by those that think such things "could never happen." Well, [i]nothing[/i] had ever happened until it did. So no, I don't think people would act so carelessly in a real life situation. I think they'd mostly be frightened sheep surrounded by wolves.

Nah I'd never take a gun from a stranger. I would assume he's just going to kill me anyway. Because that's what everyone in DayZ does.
-
Yea, if you gave me a gun in day z I would use it to shoot you, and rob you, and teabag your corpse
-
I consider the possibility of me, giving a random player a loaded gun, in a survival game almost impossible, but if I do, it would be like in the video If I was the random player I would just run away like "what this maniac wants with me???"

1 ReplyThis was really interesting. Interesting in a way that now, I really shouldn't trust people in DayZ... (Maybe I should KoS? I'll have to think about it.) ~[i]Have a nice day![/i]

1 ReplyI don't really like social experiments like these, mainly because they tend to cherry pick their findings and try to paint people in a cynical light.

Piano music ruined it.

Awe the poor last guy

Moral of the story, check your weapons.

3 RepliesI know it's supposed to be funny but I think it's actually kind of sad. I feel like if you pull something like this in a game you're probably a shitty person in real life too.
