The other day I found a friend who is playing an online game similar to TSO. He said:
«My game is awesome! At Christmas they created an event where we must DESTROY other cities to gain special weapons, at Easter we had to CRUSH and OBLITERATE other guild's armies to gain special buildings and now, at World Cup, we must RAZE enemie's islands, OBLITERATE their troops and DISINTEGRATE their mines to gain a Death Star! Amazing, ha?»
I briefly considered not telling him at Easter my crossbowmen sit very quietly painting very cute eggs, at Christmas my cavarly happily engage in producing the must beautiful presents and that at WC my cannoneers get busy cooking soup out of grass and banana peels, but then I decided he deserved to know the truth:
«You call that a world cup event? At TSO we have matches with 11 camps to destroy, each having a super-boss: first it was Buffon, almost indestructible, with 1 million HP, then it was Ronaldo, first strike attack and 15k damage, at last 16 match it was Drogba, and so on. Rumour is at the final match we'll have to take down Messi, Neymar and Rooney! Ah!»
He looked at me for a moment, wide eyes with shock and walked away silently. Since then, he tried to call me some 10 times, but I dare not to take the call...
