This thread is totally not referring to anybody not even that piece of &$*$ #&*@#^?@ *$&@!# who wrecked my entire server overnight, This guide was meant to educate other player on how to be survive better in a random server with strangers
I never had given any trust with stranger, that's why I only play DST with my family and friends, But lately I see that alot of player here is being nice to me. So I say "Hey! why not give yourself a chance with strangers and maybe make a new friends". Then I greeted them with warm welcome, gave them basic materials and some food, But well, peoples are just ********
Don't ask where the base is: Instead say it better with words like "Hey I'm new to this game, maybe you can give me a few direction" or "Can anyone help me? I'm lost", Also playing as character that doesn't do well at fighting like Wes or Wendy will increase your chances, If the host doesn't believe you then make it like you're being chased by spiders and other monsters and die like a lot, the host will than have no choice but to help you out
Deduce who is the host yourself: If you just immediately ask who is the admin, people will become suspicious at you, The host usually appear to be much better geared and spend most of their time talking and walking, Once you're sure who the host is, start being extra nice, and pretend to be interested with whatever they're talking about, if you think that you are close enough with the host then Immediately be oblivious by saying "By the way, who is the host of this server?" followed by "Oh didn't though you're the host"
Compliment: Compliments is ten times more precious than a thelucite, so do your best and compliment someone when he did something good and belittle yourself when someone did something bad.
Do enter during Winter or Summer: Not much know about this but if you enter during one of this time, other people will be more likelier to take pity on your misfortune and decides to help you out, this may even accelerate your progress in gaining trust
Give not Keep: Try to give everything you got from gathered material to foraged food, and even meats from your hunt, That way you will gain better privilege to have access to the storeroom, there you can steal anything you need for your selfish reason, just don't do it too often or someone will get suspicious
Always point fingers: If you might got caught doing something bad or someone noticed that stuff from the storeroom disappearing, always blame the one with the least trust or even better, a newcomer. Importantly don't play direct role in accusing someone, instead whisper your suggetion directly to the host, Here is a set of extra manipulative words you can use
- "I don't know, the only people that has access to the storeroom is me, host, host's friend, and Bob (Bob never have access to the storeroom)", followed by "I thought you gave bob permission to access the storeroom, he told me that"
- Or if you know that the admin a foreigner, "Hey man what does putain mean?","I overheard Bob called you that, is it like a word for friend",and "If so the you are my putain"
- "Well I did saw bob walking with (name any gear that you may stole, or crafted by the stolen item)"
After you successfully blamed someone, Immediately suggest the host to ban em' because when they found out you blamed them, you are in big trouble
Gain other's trust: When the host already trusted you, then your next step is to gain the trust of someone who were close to the host like her sister or her best friend, they will come to your defence when someone else tried to accuse you, so do the basic maneuver or compliments and assistance
Make them think It's their Idea: One of the trait of manipulation is to make people think the same way you do, don't just say, "I think we should all go hunt the fat frog" People hate being ordered around, Instead wait for a small conversation to happen, then agree on whatever they're saying, and then drop something like "Wouldn't the base look much better if we have some mushroom lamps", this would then continue with them talking about the toadstool to other players.
Well then good luck on your adventure and may this guide help you survive by leeching on other, and if your username is ************ then go ***** ******* you ******* *******
Okay I really have to say this so I won't get banned, but this is just a parody of meena's post and I do not encourage or condone any witch hunt's targeting a specific person.
And If anyone how read this happen to have bob as their name, I'm sorry. Bob is just an example name and I am referring to the steam workshop ****post called "this is bob".
