"But. He typed his messages in that annoying text talk that replaces “you” with “u”, didn’t know where his shift key was, and had appalling grammar. I knew it was my destiny to destroy him for this disrespect. No alliance was formed. It was beneath me.

You definitely skimped on the mechanics--I really have no idea how this game looks, if its menus are intuitive or much of anything that I like to know about games like this--but I liked what you wrote just the same because it does such a good job of capturing (assuming that I can trust your descriptions) what it is to play this game. I'm kind of interested in giving it a shot.

It was certainly an interesting reading experience. I'm not sure I'd call it a review exactly, though it has made me want to play. The potential for backstabbing and deviousness sounds very enticing, I must admit.

I finished up my first game of Neptune's Pride a few days ago. I can see why you like it. I set out making alliances with people but all along intending to break certain ones once I'd achieved specific things. It went badly in the end, but I didn't come last despite being the only first-timer.
