Let me tell you my side of the story. No one could have possibly communicated with Aia more than I did during that time. We've been talking for over a year. She became my online friend. And, ever since Sam accidentally "burned down" Aiauteotl on the second or third day of our conversation, I had no reason to suspect anything was amiss. Girls can also enjoy playing Heroes, and girls can also be smart, interesting, kind, and have a good sense of humor. The only thing that sometimes surprised me was that she didn't get upset in situations where I definitely would have, and that she generally handles stressful situations calmly:smile27: I just tried to take her as an example in this regard. I received the confession on January 13th, and my first reaction was similar to Tvarina's; I even wrote in response to his message, "I don't understand you." Then came: feeling bad; a sense of betrayal; the loss of a friend!; all men are jerks; disapproval and internal condemnation of the fact that when Sam and Marat found out, they continued to communicate as if nothing had happened; I argued and made a scene a lot; I didn't understand how something like this could be forgiven; then I listened to what he wrote, missed him, tried to continue communicating, but I just couldn't trust him anymore; I needed real confirmation of his words, and Pete helped us all:cool: He took the time and sorted everything out from his unbiased point of view in real life. In the end, I understood and finally calmed down. The person confessed, repented, didn't just run away, is a good player, and can we really afford to lose such people? In short, everyone decides for themselves, but I forgave him and will continue to play two-on-two and support him. P.S. This topic appeared three days after the "good" news, and when I opened it for the first time, I thought it would be about Aiauteotl
