Thank you and haha do it man, come out of retirement!
What you have described is pretty much where I'm at now....busy trying to stack my gold bars and level up although if I am down near the swamps and see a blue dot I can't help but top try and lasso them and feed them to the gators. Gators gotta eat too ya know....
Are you in Australia? My brother who's copy of the game I borrowed after hearing of the fun I'm having has suggested I get a copy so we can make a posse and wreak havoc....the more the merrier
