Parallels: Triangles

Didn't matter which season, "The Tribe" was great when it came to triangles. Love triangles that is.

From the very beginning, we had Trudy/Bray/Selene -- and that was BEFORE Amber was in the mix.

Yeah, actually those triangles centered around Bray quite a lot. Amber/Bray/Trudy was always a classic. Bray/Amber/Sasha? Oh lord ... Amber/Bray/Ebony was kinda messed up. Salene/Bray/Danni? Amber/Bray/Moon? Not even gonna go there. Bray/Amber/Pride had some possibilities, but the writers had no guts! Still, it explains why a lot of male-players like to pattern their characters on Bray. haha!

But it wasn't just Bray. Consider Lex. He tried with Ryan/Salene/Lex, but that was in his drunk-mode. Then there was Alice/Lex/Taisan, and even Guardian/Taisan/Lex. Siva/Lex/Taisan? Yeah, it got pretty strange.

Even the secondary characters got into the mix. Salene/Pride/May? Jack/Ellie/Luke? Yep, we saw lots of triangles. Teenagers 'n hormones, what're you gonna do?

Now consider KTDARPG. All in all, I'd say our players and their characters are pretty damn courteous. Oh, we've had a few triangles ... I think? Let's see, for sure we had Chyna/Xeno/Brena. Others ... hmm ... well, there was a kinda sorta triangle of Xeno/Chyna/Creed, but that one died from courtesy. Creed didn't fight that one out.

You know, beyond that, I can't think of a thing. That doesn't mean there wasn't INTEREST among characters. Or even characters flirting 'n being playful. But it looks to me like our players decided not to go that route.

Love triangles are another form of competition in our game-world. Guess our players have figured that the competition for food, shelter, other resources or even supremacy takes precedence? Not sure on that one.
