Dovecoon 0 Posted May 21, 2012 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miqueloz 33 Posted May 21, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dovecoon 0 Posted May 21, 2012 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.
