I love a game where my friends choose not to take the wealth amassed
over years away from me, even though they could--because they're my
friends.

I can't play that game without the possibility of being betrayed.=20
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

And I've played a game in which betrayal on that scale was a real
possibility...and on occasion did suffer some betrayals, although
not on that scale. It was worth it.
