I have played for 20 hours and have only ever met two nice people.

I built my house on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean and a lighthouse, there was a base very close by that had at least five people living in it, I decided to ignore them seeing as every other person I had come across had killed me on the spot. After I built my house I finished it off with a painting on the front of the house, it was simply a drawing of a smiley face.

It was starting to get dark at that point and I was in need of wood and mushrooms, so I headed out to go collect some, I must have been gone for at least 20 minutes, at that point it was pitch black outside. I reached my home to discover something had changed, my little drawing no longer existed, instead, it was replaced with the word "GOATKING", the background of the painting was red and the writing was black. I looked around to see if anyone was nearby, but not a single person was in sight.

I entered my home and closed the door behind me, I went up the stairs and started my fire to heal myself and so that I could see as it was still dark. Once the sun came back up I opened my front door to discover a little brown bag on the floor right in front of my door, I picked it up and looked inside... It was a skull, a human skull. I did not know what to think, I was but a noob in these parts, so all I had to defend myself with... was a stick. Time went on and every now and then I would get another bag with a skull in it, I had no idea who was doing this and tried my best to catch them but I never even heard them in the first place. Until one night...

I was sat in my house and heard people running around outside, I peaked out my only window to see five people holding torches, they were standing in a line towards my house, they were all wearing the same clothing too, but what really caught my attention was their heads, they were all wearing some type of animal skull, like a deer or horse. They spotted me at the window and one of them started saying "Oooh-ahhh goatking" over and over again, the other four people also started saying the same thing shortly after, this went on for sometime, after a while they came up to my door, knocked and then left. There was no way I was opening the door so I just waited until daytime arrived.

Once it was light out I opened my door to discover two bags, one bag contained the usual human skull and the other contained clothing, the same clothing that the people were wearing outside my house last night. Did they want to recruit me? I ended up putting it on and carried on with my day by collecting some stone. I got back to my house and upgraded some walls to stone for extra protection. I left my house to discover that those people from last night had returned, and they now all stand right in front of me, I never even heard them outside, they told me to follow them back to their camp, which I did... It was a short trip because their camp was the house right next to mine, I had no idea that they lived so close but had never been over to their house anyway.

I entered their house and never left, as I write this I am still locked inside their home, they feed me human flesh and mushrooms every now and then but that's about it, I am locked in a room with two other people, they seem nice enough, we have gotten to know each other very well. I don't know what is next for us, but I pray that you don't make the same mistake...

Don't trust anyone in Rust.


UPDATE: It turns out that one of the people that were kidnapped and in the room with me was part of some resistance group, long story short. A group of around 10 people came and saved us, they killed the members of the cult and set us free from the room of horrors, this group also took me back to their real camp and put me in their hotel for free. I recently got a knock at my hotel door, they have a postman too! He gave me a note that told me the upcoming weather and events that would take place at the camp, they're having a barbecue soon so that should be neat.

Also this group is at war with another group.
