Who can you really trust in the wild west?

Wild West isn't a place to make friends, It's a game placed in a already developed community. So you either need to make friends outside the server or apply for a team. Also just don't trust anyone. No one is looking out for anyone but themselves.

 

You can trust some people, but be very wary. I recommend carrying a blunderbuss. It's very good for self defense. It's not an attack weapon, so it's meant to do high damage at close range. If someone tries to jump you, you can blow their head off.

 

In my Guide thread (https://www.brawl.com/threads/55549/) , there are Dangerous Players, and Betraying Players.

A Dangerous Player will kill you on sight, and they are nice people, who like to PvP.

A Betraying Player will LIE, be friends with you for a few minutes, then KILL you to get your loot. They do not like to PvP, they like to Lie and Use-the-Advantage-that-Lying-Gives-Them to AVOID real PvP, by effectively sucker-punching you.

Once an average player has Sword blocked, and said in chat they are friendly, you can trust that they aren't a jerk. The exceptions to this rule are documented in my guide.
