I’ve gotten super into this game, I play on a low population (usually 15 max) official Xbox server, and I’m hitting a point in the game where I have most of the gear I want and I don’t struggle for much. So now I want to do something with that.

I play mostly as a nomadic forest Druid type, I carry only what I need and I fish, hunt, and scavenge for food. My idea is to become sort of a protective woodland cryptid, stepping in to save freshies I stalk from zombies or bandits, leaving behind fishes and bandages at wells, maybe even using the radio here and there to give people warnings, tell them about stashes I’ve left, or warn about hostile players. I think it would be fun for the server to have an urban legend about some sort of helpful cryptid.

The problem is, I know if I’m spotted most people are going to shoot on sight or run away, and I wish they wouldn’t do that so I could give them free stuff or fish or help them. How can I seem peaceful? Is there a particular armband I can wear or other universally understood sign to say “hey I’m friendly don’t shoot and you’ll get a prize maybe”?

Ok so ik probably most people already know or do this but I’ve only been playing for like the last few days, completely new to the game, and I was like constantly struggling to find food, it was a nightmare, I almost starved twice and just barely managed to crawl back from dying after looting a town and roasted some mutton. But not anymore!! I figured out how to fish!! Dude it’s like free food everywhere I’m not starving anymore I’ll never starve again I’m so happy. And it’s so cheap to fish, literally all you need is rags to make rope, a long stick, and a sharp tool to get worms, and you can get infinite free food and it’s so easy. I will never not carry a fishing pole now. I’m a fishmaxxing fullcell!!! Billions must fish!!!

To the hitchhiker with a banjo I saw today in round rock by I35 close to the old settlers exit, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to pick you up, you seemed really cool and I totally would’ve but by the time I got close enough to see your signal it was already too late, and with the rush hour traffic being what it was it would’ve been scary trying to pull over to you.

I totally would’ve loved to meet you, you seemed like a really nice guy and I love helping people. You had an adorable smile. I feel like I missed an opportunity to make a friend today. I wish you safe travels and hope you meet nothing but kindness from everyone you meet 🖤
