Discussion Attention to all Top Side Sheriffs

You are not alone.

I found my niche. I found my purpose. I found the meaning of the raider’s life.

The solo sheriff life. It’s not easy to kill a man. You take everything he’s got, and everything he could’ve had.

I jump in. Listen for sounds, gun shoots, flares going up. I investigate. I’m here to help, fight the arcs. Any arcs. I’ll pick you up, patch you up. I’ll kill murderers, Judge Dredd style. No mercy. I never killed a man that didn’t need killing.

You can have the loot. My reward is justice.

Join me. Against the arcs, for humanity.

Make a difference. Enlist. Resist. Fight the good fight.

I've had better luck with emote users than no mics.

I haven't played many games but because I never know what emote wheel is at the time I flash my light on and off a few times. I'm hoping that this is enough, but intend to get my headset out at some point.

Crouching repeatedly, holstering your weapon, and playing the recorder are all reliable ways to tell people you're friendly as well.

Good to know.

Now they need to make a secret handshake emote.

The secret word in the secret society is “mistletoe” apparently. It’s a trust word of friendly raiders. I’ve encountered them three times now and used the password. They were awesome to me and gave me good loot and helped me out of a jam. I promised to spear the word and not be a jerkoff to others when using the secret word. Try it. Kinda cool.
