After reverting to KoS out of frustration I recently decided that I should try to uphold how I thought the game should be played. Also, I hear stories about how friendlies can meet randomly and run together and part ways without incident. My latest approach is basically to run away from fire fights hoping the other player might declare "friendly" or simply avoid conflict all together. The last 5 players I have run into have shot me without provocation. My last death, I was simply trying to leave town when I came upon a guy lying prone. I had every opportunity to kill this asshole long before he got a bead on me but instead I gave him a wide birth, only to be shot in the back. Unless I have pre-confirmed you are friendly outside of the game, I am going to put a bullet in your head if I can. I AM NOT A BANDIT. But the worst of you force my hand. :|
