I can see their side of it but look where such methods got me in the past. Relying solely on playing it close to the chest shuts out a wealth of opportunities.
I can see that now even if it is admittedly kinda hard to fuckin swallow. I have an ego to content with, I think they have the same issue.
I honestly couldn't tell you. I've said I'm willing to work with them, what they decide is what they decide.
We're in agreement about the hands need revealing and likely will be. This isn't going to get better and when survival is on the line, people aren't gun shy about ensuring they'll live.
The problem to me is we won't know what's ahead. It's never stopped us before but the gods need to stop hiding shit. That in itself is the problem and some part of me thinks they don't know what's ahead either.
Well...honestly? How could anyone know? This whole situation seems awfully precarious. The slightest movement from any side could send everyone into oblivion - that sort of thing. In that case, it's better to keep what you do know close and play it safe. But there's so much at risk...
That's exactly why we're having this conversation. From my experience, you keep who you care about close and decide what risks to take. This won't be solved without risks, but some of it can be weathered by being smart.

And it complicates matters, too.
I would think there would be more revealing of hands, so to speak, in the future. Right?
Hoo hoo! Then who do you think will crack first?

Why do I have the feeling this will end in disaster if people are allowed to go gun crazy.

We just have to be the lookouts while everyone else loses their heads.

That makes a lot of sense.
So what sort of risks should be taken, in your opinion?
