Question

1stDec 16, 2018 by koolness234
How do you all feel about betrayal in games now? (Like good friends betraying you). Ive heard two main arguments.

A. It is just a game, and therefore dont get butt-hurt over it, because it really is just a game

B. It is just a game, so why would you backstab a friend for virtual karma and money that do not mean anything.

I lean more on the B side of things, or does it vary from situation to situation

B

Depends on the situation. For me personally i would not be mad or hurt if a friend straight up told me they are voting me out as appose to blindsiding me.

I lean more on the side of B. But ^

i think you have to go in mutually understanding choice A., but if it's like the last quarter of the game and shit has to be done, and the friend isn't overly shady or downright rude about it, then it's all fair and respect.

if you're friends with someone and you're their first target then ya that's probably something that needs some re-evaluations, but sometimes inevitables happen.

depends on the situation, i dont like ppl making me feel like an idiot so if u cozying up to me just to vote me out 20 minutes later u can rot lmao waves

I don't care about friends backstabbing me, only people I don't know, that's weird :s so I would go C

A but it definitely varies
like there needs to be enough of a reason, not just like "hey bff i backstabbed you in stars for 16th because you rated me a 9 in your blog instead of a 10"

IM KNOWN for backstabbing but I dont join games to get 2nd or 3rd

To me it varies from each situation, like for example in group games when a close friend of mine backstabbed me I was upset at first then I realized it was a group game, you play to win that is your goal, that's where the fun is so I learnt that I can do the same. It really doesn't change the friendship

However in games like tengaged survivor, I join with friends bc they make it fun for me so I wouldn't turn on them but if they do turn on me for like karma and ts and knowing i wouldnt do the same to them, I find ts and karma worthless for me? so yeah I think it'd change my perception on them and make me not wanna play with them again, not upset though.

Honestly it depends on why people play games and what is fun for them.

I agree with what BluJay said. I'm all up for playing to win, but taking out friends early for no reason is weird.
Sent by GrrrImABear,Dec 16, 2018
Honestly I Feel like When its just a group of friends left in a game then backstab to win all u need

BUT I think backstabbing a friend early in the game is just gross to me.

It's always case by case but end of the day it's a game...there is 1 winner...if you play any other type of competitive game, video game etc you dont simply let your friend win just because...They key however is being shady and dishonest or more so hypocritical when they do the same to you...End of the day if it cost you a friendship it wasnt a real friendship to begin with...
Sent by NexusCain,Dec 16, 2018
Depends on the situation. If we were close it’s more B - I wear my heart on my sleeve slightly. Don’t really play anymore though lol
Sent by PrincessTeePee,Dec 16, 2018
I mean do you play every game with your friends and help them win? no

but I will say it's different if it's like final 5 in Stars and you're trying to go unnommed...like I understand that, but I recently had a friend nom me for 10th and I was pretty hurt. Given I did nom them too, but only because they made it clear they were nomming me. Like plz don't join Stars with me if you plan on backstabbing me for double digits, thanks!
Sent by coreyants,Dec 16, 2018
i mean i would say A but i guess it varies in every game! Like ppl have other friends and i can't expect them to be loyal to me and just me in a game like that but if they backstabbed me for a random person they met 2 days ago I would be hurt but i get over it pretty quickly lol

A good friend will never choose to betray you. Like we are talking besties, not just a friend you talk to once every two months. I played games with Petro, Maxi1234, Meyaar and we always had each other's backs.
Sent by CutieAmy,Dec 17, 2018
A for me. I accept that most people are selfish and that's fine.
A save for me is an eviction for someone else.
Games are cruel like that. 🤷🏽‍♀️
Sent by Yoshitomi,Dec 17, 2018
It used to be A when things mattered but I think the only reason people still come on here is for friends.

So B, final answer.
Sent by RiDsTeR,Dec 17, 2018
B because if you're really friends why would you want to do that to your friend.
Sent by Chic,Dec 17, 2018
it depends how they backstab me but I usually get over it unless people are assholes about it
Sent by kwiens18,Dec 17, 2018
I think A as long as they do it respectfully but if it is done disrespectfully then that's wrong.

B for tengaged games for non group games

B, but if a friend came up to me and said "im gonna have to vote you out because X and Y", I'd be like "yeah no prob! thanks for telling me!" and everything would be good.

And then I'd do the same back if I either stayed or we played another game after that.

Honesty can get you far.

If you betray me, don't speak to me again.
Sent by turney1805,Dec 17, 2018
lmao B because I can't stand being lied to, period.  There's an exception if like, before the game we decide that we're allowed to lie to each other tho.
I'm also good with them telling me they're going to betray me, but if you're one of those people who PROMISE continuously that you're saving me WHILE you're evicting me, then bye.

It's a game and if you've learned anything from BB or Survivor idk what to tell ya.

I think certain friends would take it easier than others, but I'd only do it if I was super comfortable or wanted a lil drama.
