i read something not very long ago but i can't remember where. some things... i know that i'm missing something / there is something that i'm not getting... there are a few things like that...
one of the things i don't get is those strategy games like diplomacy... i don't understand how they are about anything other than luck or chance or whatever. anyway... the book / article said about how you listen to what the person is saying (about how they promise to help you by doing this and that and the next thing) and then you put yourself in their position and see what would be in their interests / think about what is in it for them.
then you know whether to trust them (mutual benefit) or not.
of course. obvious, huh.
sigh. i guess a fair few people don't get this for certain other people to get such a kick out of the game...
