I wasn’t burned by zem at all, I at no point thought she was as pro town as she claimed and repeatedly called for her to die, and I was for most of the game an Indy myself having been culted.
I come from an environment where negotiating with indies is considered to be moronic, and it’s a position that serves me well, as evidenced by the seemingly metronomic lament of the deceived when the Indy sticks the knife in at the worst time
I don’t care how fair you think you are - you are not to be trusted and nobody sane should barter with you. Alas, as ever, I’m likely wasting my breath but maybe this will be the game they learn
but probably not.
