that just means you wanted to be loved more than you wanted to succeed, no?

[crimsoncommander]

No.

The response was immediate. But then, after a minute of him reconsidering.]

I want to succeed and not lose the respect of people I care about. I want to be a better winner.

[outplayed]

then you have the ambition to win in a way that doesnt mean you have to sacrifice anything else
so, i still think what i said is true... theres no such thing as too much ambition...
maybe there is such a thing as the wrong ambition, though.

[crimsoncommander]

Yes. Yes, that's what I'm learning.
There are plenty of wrong ambitions.

[outplayed]

... that said, i dont think theres anything wrong with having a wrong ambition or two
living is learning or whatever the fuck, no?

[crimsoncommander]

I suppose it's degrees of wrong.
Wanting to be the world's best serial killer would be definitely too wrong.

[outplayed]

what, do you have inklings of that ambition...?

[crimsoncommander]

I do not.

But my counterpart did try to stab someone, so who knows?

[outplayed]

could just be his way of saying hello, no?

[crimsoncommander]

No, because he's only tried to stab one person.

[outplayed]

fine, lets revise that: could just be his way of saying hello *to somebody he really doesnt like
but one stabbing isnt enough to really judge either way, is it?

[crimsoncommander]

Hmmm. Something to think about.

[outplayed]

yeah so keep me posted if you feel like stabbing anybody else, im interested in knowing

[crimsoncommander]

Is there someone you want me to stab?

[outplayed]

no, not at all
im more interested in what might compel you to do something like that

[crimsoncommander]

Very well. I'll keep you updated.
