We are like a secret society, just not that secret.
I know, I know, we're a bit weird. We have a thing for organization, we make lists and more spreadsheets. We use the fancy name "database". We define member profiles, shell profiles (yes, we don't call our parts factions, but "shells"), profiles for everything.
In the fight, everything needs to be previously defined, measured, organized, combined, trained. And we act like a family ... or a swarm of locusts.
Could this be a cult? Or just a collective OCD?
But WTF is a cult?
I went to research what a cult is, one of those that is not religious in nature, like Jim Jones or Charles Manson. Creepy! And I found these definitions of cult: particular and often fanatical ideology; members isolated from the outside world; control of relationships between members; rejection of those who leave the group.
Particular and often fanatical ideology
Well, well, that's where I got caught. This way we look like a cult! Because we're focused on our game method, which has been working.
Members isolated from the outside world
This place looks like a Tower of Babel, and we're connected to everything. The more exchange and oxygenation with the rest of the game, the better.
Control of relationships between members
The Union looks like the Love Boat, every day a new couple appears, and it's uncontrollable. Couples here love each other one day, hate each other the next. That's when the real-life spouse doesn't find out about the indiscretions in the game.
Rejection of those who leave the group
Well, well, here it's like a poker table: no one leaves! Just kidding! The friendship always continues, we are still a family forever.
