YMMV

Well, one thing I find terribly boring, is to end 60 hours worth of my gaming time, with a lie. Maybe it's just my upbringing. My father backstabbed in a game of MULE when I was 12. I was clearly winning until he did so.

What did I learn from that? Don't betray your friends, because that's f***ed up. I consider the people here (largely) as friends. This is a friendly game here, not high stakes poker. Don't give your word if you don't mean it - it makes people not like you - and who wants to play a game for 3 months with someone that they don't like....?


Trust me, I understand the cutthroat style "logic". I just don't agree that it applies in THIS community.
