| It is my opinion that people who don't value honesty from those around them deserve neither their friendship nor to have their feelings spared. People who favor deceit and flattery over truth Are a good part of what is wrong in the world. Not to mention being completely illogical. For instance, if I... |

| I used to play board games by myself as more than one person. And not just simple ones like Connect 4 or whatever. Stuff like Monopoly and Risk. And often as 3-5 players. I could compartmentalize into separate players and strategies to win, and act independently of the other "Players". |
