Betrayal!

[solipsistnation]

Predictably enough, I was betrayed. It's sad when I can start off thinking "There's no way this can last" and be right. Surprisingly, though, I was not betrayed by the obviously-young and egoistic "leader of Tanis," who claims that he has organized his region into a massively competent research machine. No, even though he seemed a little sulky, and did the whole "Yeah, well, it's a lot of work and I didn't really want it anyway" thing, he voted and let his vote stand. Instead, I was betrayed by somebody who I started off respecting, but who I've watched carefully and have seen leap at an opportunity, even at the expense of her own honor. I will be very careful should I encounter her in the future.

All in all, it's been a learning experience. I'm not bitter, although I'm disappointed. And now I know who not to trust.

What the heck are you talking about?

See my previous couple of posts... It's A Tale In The Desert, a MMORPG.

These *games* are supposed to be an escape from real life, no?

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

Sure! And they are. It's much more exciting to be vying for power in ancient Egypt than to spend days working to get somebody to approve your budget for servers.

it is a game that tends to appeal to people who... like to do work, in several senses of the word. but it's fun because it's not work you have to do! (or are getting paid for.)

the politics thing is weird, though. only weirdos like politics. he's a weirdo, is what i'm trying to say.

She didn't like your outfit.

You've obviously never played Diplomacy with a spouse. *snicker*

I would NEVER play Diplomacy with a spouse. 8)

I only did it once. In my own defense, I'd never played the game before.

I wouldn't do THAT again. :)
