American actor, screenwriter and film director, Sylvester Stallone, said "There's a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone." Clearly Mr. Stallone has never played a cutthroat game of Monopoly. Regardless, there is truth in his statement. In this series of games, what you do to others might comeback to haunt you or lead to victory. Karma is funny that way.
Austrian-born American celebrity chef, restaurateur, and occasional actor, Wolfgang Puck, said "Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - it's how you combine them that sets you apart." In this game, there are only so many ingredients to go around and dishes to make. Cook fast and cook smart to taste victory.
British politician and statesman, Joseph Chamberlain, said "The day of small nations has long passed away. The day of Empires has come." Ambition is a powerful motivator that will lead men and women to take questionable risks. In this game, players will build their own empire in a hostile land that seeks to crush them.
American science fiction writer, Frank Herbert, said "If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets." Who among us hasn't wished to be bigger, faster, richer, or be granted more than what we think we have? Wishing is the act of longing and in this game, players will need to decide if what they long for is worth the risk of pursuing.
Former professional wrestler, actor, political commentator, author, naval veteran, and politician, Jesse Ventura said, "Wrestling is ballet with violence." I could not agree more. The men and women who wrestle in the ring perform tremendous feats of strength and endurance, all timed and rehearsed to depict seemingly violent acts. Wrestlers are a mix of actors and athletes that put on shows where the danger of being hurt is very real, but that's all part of the allure.
Let's be clear. Your job does not exist. Your employer does not exist. Those alien artifacts and technology you see over there. Those doesn't exist either. Yes, you exist. Don't be silly and don't let your control area get out of .. well .. control. We like to keep things clean and organized here. And by "we", I mean no one. Now get to work, Agent.
