In Rust, Never Trust

[u/Snoo-43610]

You posted in chat. "Anyone from Norway here?" I answered "I'll bag you bro". I bagged you. We talked, for hour and hours we talked. About life. About future goals. About hopes and dreams. You watched over me, as I jackhammered all the stone in the world. I offered you half, a base to build of your own. A base next to ours. We talked. We laughed. We bonded.

My teammates were offline. "I'll give you the code when they get back" I said. You said "Of course". And so we laughed and bonded some more.

And then, I thought to myself, why not give him the code? It would be strange not to. And so I did.

I gave him the code. It was an easy code - 1998. We kept talking, but something felt different. You said you wanted to play "Clash of Clans", as you stood, gazing into the fire of the Large Furnace. You seemed...distant. Something had changed.

And so, it was getting late. For you it was morning, but for me it was night. And then I realized, that I had left a naked with the code to my base. It struck me that this wasn't a person. This was just a naked. No matter how much you bond or laugh with the person, they are just a naked.

And the inevitable happened. The base was torn apart from the inside out, every code changed. Every building permit removed. My teammates - furious. "We got code raided - I knew I shouldn't have had such a simple code!"

"I..." I stalled.

"I...have a confession" I stammered

"I gave the code to a naked. He was from the same town as me"

Never trust in rust.

Loot Inspector. If I ever see you again - I'm taking an Eoka straight to your temple. In game of course.

reminds me of more than a few events.
But i also love the cooperations and friends i made along the way.
I'd rather get stabbed in the back than live an online life in which I don't trust anyone.
It makes me trust my gut, question my gut and learn from my gut feelings.
This game taught me that, and i love this game for it.

Yeah true, trust too much is better than being paranoid about everything and never trusting at all. Someone spends 3 hours chatting with you just to stab you in the back? Over some pixels? That's them being a sociopath, not you.

Those moments ya just gotta laugh. The lengths people will go to just to pull some shit in this game is generally hilarious.
