Trust, a breech, and then what

Caught one of my closest "allies" behaving in a very unallied manner. I peruse the list of who is online at night. Nobody posting on the boards but certainly dealmaking. So you have nonallies littering the list along with one of the architects of our alliance. On there for while. I point this out to said ally. She then disappears for 10 or so minutes...I take a screen shot and she, I and said Art Vandelay are both on. silence...then a post...he was asleep...I didn't ask about him We tend to volunteer extra information to innoculate ourselves from attack. I then received a message from another ally...but they are not online...hiding presence in the preferences. Do I blow this 10 person alliance up, tell eveyone's secrets? Totally blow up the game? Stay tuned...a few sparks and that tinder is going up

And there you go. Let's see how a line drawn on the virtual floor goes. Shes been gone for a few more minutes checking to see how she should answer me. A little bit country a little bit rock and roll? Nope a little bit truth and a whole lot of consequences

Reconcilation? Sure. Trust? Never again. Sooth the cut...but remember where it is when you need to apply pressure. A storm is coming and it is sweeping one of us away.

Running to her overlord...checking what to say in response "Don't worry we'll vote him out tomorrow"

A split gives my alliance 4 and the other side 6...betrayal begats contingency...Two more evens it up.

Firestorm seems to be mitigated somewhat. Now? Fix it with everyone else..An apology...no a Royal apology...I am not convinced, but I need time to develop alliances with the "free agents" formerly known as floaters. Leaking a bit of information about an unknown 10 person alliance should help, unless they are part of a 15 person alliance Big Brother you glorious bastards...what have you created

Did I miss your coins somewhere?

No. negotiating with the enemy for the win or going home will be in within 2 min
