Reflection on Ceaser
Power can be taken a long way. The more people gain it, the more greedy they get. They take
advantage of it and use it for there own benefit even if it hurts others. In the diplomacy
game everyone was give some power. Some chose to use it wisely and some did not. The game
was every man or woman for him or herself. There were alliance's made but none of that
matter as the game ended. Everyone took their power and used against anyone in their way.
The greediness of the game was at a high level throughout the game trying to gain as much
power as possible. The one with the most power was left standing.
Politics were a big part of the diplomacy. Making alliances and helping others out made the
game very interesting. People would support each other throughout the game but then turn
against them at the last second. People would backstab each other and only look out for
themselves. They became so greedy that they would forget about any alliances made. The
politics of this game are based the same way they are in real life. People pretend to watch
out for each other but know deep down they are lying. They look for the quickest and easiest
way to gain power and strength.
This game was not only about power and politics. It also included government. Each country
was its only government and had its own way of
thinking. They had a goal set in there mind from the beginning of the game and they would
trying and pursue it in anyway they could. I had struggled through the first moves of the
game and got frustrated because of people moving into the places I was headed for. There
were many conflicts between each government. As the game progressed things got easier. At
the end of the game every government turned against each other and I made the mistake of
keeping all pieces in place on the last turn. I lost many supply centers and most countries
gained from my loss.
