Heya,

So if I understand the definition for IC betrayl here, this would be a valid example:

"Lord Parlaman has been the patron of the PCs for some time. He has hired them to do jobs and payed them in gold each time.  As the plot progresses, it turns out that Parlaman is the true enemy of the PCs and the gold he paid them was really chips of iron with an illusion enchantment cast on them."

Is that accurate?  If so, I can see where gamists would be upset.  Their characters have put investment in to a resource (developing thier relationship with their patron, Parlaman) and they have collected a reward (the gold).  Now, as the plot twists, both the resource and the reward are taken away.  The gamist sees it as losing and they had no real idea what was going on and no way to predict/prevent it.  

Does this roughly described what you went thru, Hyphz?

Peace,
