I'd like to explain myself...

Commotion


Once upon a time there were people playing the board game named Monopoly somewhere in Baguio...

One of the guy said "ayoko na nga!, Dami nyong sinasabi"...

Why all of a sudden a burst of emotion while playing this freaking game? Here's my two cents...

Now let me depict the scenario of this specific crazy game...

Number 1. The game had 5 players, Me, Reymond Rosales, Willor Olchondra, LA Bayot and Tzeche Amar. The banker is usually in shift early and substituted by Joseph de Jesus(as the original Banker, Elliel de Guzman, wanted to take the 'taking a bath with RAW WATER' experience).

Number 2. As far as I remember, Ate Tze had every color for each land title. It was like being ‘PURO’ in a Bingo game (as see had all the color variation and thus making her versatile) She was dominating the game.

Number 3. Now, Willor wanted to speed things up. He decided to lend his 2 land titles (orange or yellow?) to Tze and in return, get 2 or 3 other titles (which is in different colors) so that Tze can build 'houses' to increase the value of the title. With this step, I have seen (as far as I remember and along with the Banker's comment) that Willor wanted Ate Tze to win the Game.

Why you ask? Basic logic dictates that Willor wanted to give her a 'Monopolized' color in order to dominate. In addition to this, he wanted to get other colored titles which will not synergize with his current titles.

Question: Do you think Willor would like to win?
Answer: No.

Question: Do you think Ate Tze wanted to win?
Answer: Dunno.

Question: Do you think I care if Willor wanted ate Tze to win?
Answer: I don't care.

Question: Did someone ridiculed Willor's strategy?
Answer: As far as I remembered, someone (including me) reacted, but not to the point of disagreeing to it.


NOW. I've decided to Lend Money to Reymond (amounting to $500) because he is short on CASH(but later on repaid his debt)

Question: Do you think I wanted to win?
Answer: No.

Question: Do you think Reymond wanted to win?
Answer: Dunno.

Question: Do you think I care if Reymond wins the game?
Answer: I don't care. I'm just lending some money.

Question: Did someone ridiculed my strategy?
Answer: Yes. Both guru's of the Game (Joseph and Elliel) reacted to my behavior.

Now. The tension rose when it reached to the point that Ate Tze was dominating the game. Because of this, I’ve decided to dedicate some of my money to Reymond. Then there was the commotion.

Now I wanted Reymond to win by dedicating my money until I finish the game.

Why you ask? Basic logic dictates that Ate Tze is winning the game because Willor started this hiatus by helping her to have ‘yellow/orange color’ monopoly. In addition, this was a hopeless undertaking for myself, LA and Willor to win the game as we don't have a 'monopolized' color.

QUESTION: NOW, DO YOU THINK ITS FAIR TO HELP REYMOND WIN?

ANSWER: I DON'T CARE...



Epilogue…


I just wanted to react to the statements below:

si Elliel bago mapikon si Yard: "Ano ba yan ang gulo ng laro nyo!"
Yard: "Ang dame namang sinasabi"
Elliel: "Eh Pathetic naman nyang laro nyo eh! Kampihan!? Kailan pa nangyare sa monopoly yan!? Pathetic!"

1) nde ako napikon… Tska tapos na toh wala na sakin tong issue na toh…

2) We have our own views, our own strategy, our own mindset.

3) Now, I just want to say that the reason why I’ve quit the game is because I believe the accusers were contradicting themselves.

4) I'm sorry if this is the first time that Teamwork managed to be included this game. Honestly, I had only 3 games prior to specific game (you can call me 'NOOB' if you want to, nde lng applicable yang term na yan sa DOTA) ^_^

Question: Did I enjoy the game?
Answer: Most definitely.

Question: Are you still affected?
Answer: No. Honestly, it didn't affect me at all. Actually it was a fun and serves as a learning experience.

Question: So what was the moral story of your Blog entry?
Answer: Nothing. Just wanted to say my two cents. Siguro e2 ung lesson...

Whenever you play Monopoly, remain as Greedy as possible

CIAO...
