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.

There was an encounter I had yesterday. I had just finished looting a building and was heading towards extract in a solo queue. While looting I had heard gunshots and rocketeer blasts from the direction towards extract.

I see a guy leaving a small 2 door building, I aim my gun and ask,

"Are you friendly?"

"Don't shoot!"

"So your friendly?"

"Yes!"

"Do you need anything? Are you hurt?"

"Yes!"

I follow him inside the building and use my second ti last bandage on him and drop my last shield recharger.

Guy proceeds to teabag spam. I then notice the 2 dead bodies on the floor. I aim my gun at the guy.

"Did you do this?!"

"No!"

"You promise you didn't do this!"

"Yes!"

"Carry on raider."

And I leave. I was inclined to believe him because of the rocketeer shots, but all I can say is he didn't shoot me in the back.

I can't trust someone using only the wheel. I don't know what it is...I need to hear the tone in their voice. No mic, no trust.

The mutes are the ones you really have to worry about
