Deleted as friend in game. Deleted as friend on Skype. Deleted as friend on Facebook. Was I ever a friend, or just a shield to hide behind until I could no longer offer protection?
The worst thing about being a #1 ranked player is, the amount of people who become your "friend" until you cannot offer them what they ask.
I cannot even keep count, with both shoes off, the number of "friends" who have just blanked me when I have not done things the exact way they wanted.
Tribal Wars is not a game that creates many friends. It is a game that creates many needies.
1984 vs Hammer was a war between two friends and theirs tribes. How can a person pick the right place when you can only turn left or right? I turn left, to the longest time friend, and the right side deletes me.
I turn right, to the other friend, and I lose a long time friend. A friend before our time at the top of the mountain.
A decision that will long haunt me, as with the SchOol vs SOMD war which saw the end of another "friend", caz84. Again, deleted me when I did not pick the "other" side.
A decision that has made me question my ability and credentials to lead. A decision that has made me question my time on the world at all.
People look and think, LakeWind, arrogant, lead people on, lead them to believe, lead the to defeat.
People do not see, how hard to pick between friends, how hard to sit back and watch one side fall because you picked the other side.
People do not see the time spent awake weighing up all options and trying to find a peace between the axes and spears.
A decision people do not see, and a decision without a correct answer for all involved.
