Last Sat. I was asked to account sit on a browser game I play. I was not at all familiar with this player but made it clear that I already account sit for 2 other players.
Anyway, I accepted this account and was playing my own account and two others, plus this 'third account', and yet another game, whilst enjoying some very well deserved (too much?) white wine and watching XFactor.
So, game was very busy and I was getting lots of mail. I thought I had inadvertently opened mail addressed to this player. I shut it down immediately and spent a sleepless night worrying about it.
I didnt want this player to think I had been reading their mail. So I decided to come clean and try to explain.
Boy did it blow up in my face.
This player seemed to think I had spent my Sat. evening avidly trawling thru his mail box. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I could have done and this player would not have known, but because I didnt want to be thought of in that way I decided to be up front and honest! (why do I never learn?).
Now I believe my character has been spoiled, not knowing what he has said to other players in the game IYSWIM. I am really upset over this.
I guess I should have kept my mouth shut!
What would you have done?
I know in the grand scheme of things it isnt so big but it is really upsetting me.
