Lying in side channel?

[Dovecoon 0]

Yesterday, I saw a bandit lie in the side channel, saying he was friendly and asking for bandages, and then when someone came to help the next thing I saw was that he died and started cussing up a storm. After that, a though occurred: after a week or so of playing, that was the first time I've ever seen a bandit lie on the side channel. What do the rest of the bandits think of this?

I personally don't lie on the side channel because that's a good way to get people angry at you, and angry people are more likely to shoot on sight, but I was curious if this was a common occurrence or if bandits didn't normally lie as a code of honor, or for the reason I use, or just because they don't like giving away their position. Any thoughts?

What's wrong with it? It seems perfectly legit. I treat the side channel as something like a radio all the survivors have. Just because someone says they're friendly and in Elektro doesn't mean they really are.

I'm not saying anything is wrong with it, I just don't do it since it makes all the other players want to kill you even more than they normally do. I think it's legitimate and people who blindly trust are going to die one way or another. I was just curious what other bandits thought and did since I don't talk a whole heck of a lot in game.

I don't look at the side chat ever, I never type in it, I never read it, it basically doesn't exist to me.

I wish there was a way to turn it off personally, all the chat is distracting me.
