Ha, cool. Should be quite the bloodbath either way in that case.

Aye, I was going to suggest that Joel know one or two of the other characters since those who move in similar circles in New Reno would of definitely have heard of him. With Redding and Joel arriving (back in Joel’s case) in town around the same time he might have even been one of the first people Joel worked for since he was just starting to build his reputation around that time. They may have even helped each other build those reps and have a quite long business relationship, maybe even a friendship. They seem like they would get along. Up to you though. :)

Thanks! Generation Kill is an amazing show. To be expected from the same people who made The Wire. I’m going to rewatch it sometime, been wanting to for a while.

I'm down for having them know each other's faces from working in the same circles. There was a time that Redding was a hired gun and relied on that as his sole means of income, so they've probably roughed up some people and made a few people disappear together. I wouldn't expect Redding to have gotten so attached as to have formed anything above a professional respect for the man, knowing all too well that someday down the road he'd maybe have to put a bullet in Joel. That time obviously hasn't come, nor does he want it to. He knows Joel would be a bad choice of an enemy, even for a man like himself.

PS, updated CS with information on Redding's business ventures that made him the man he is today.
