Alas people can resist anything pretty much ... except temptation.. :-)

A pot of community resources left to be refilled when it suits folk... as different to a pot of community resources that needs to be refilled within (for example 2 real days) and with more of the borrowed resource returned is a simple example of a set of rules.. but then you need someone to watch over it!! ;-/

I noted you thought you needed to destroy what you had built... hmmm you could have saved the effort and just left.?..

But you have your sense of what you think is "right" thats okay and good.
But you also have the sense of "lost 150 hours" .. its a game, its EA, hard drives fail, stuff happens.. enjoy the journey.. each step.. you actually learned a lot about others and yourself if you look at it slightly differently.. I would say thats a good 6 Day irl learning curve..

lastly ... good friends are hard to find. and people change. as do we!!
