| enforced friendliness |
|
- noun The condition which arises when game management is so tough that anything which can marginally upset players is stomped on hard. The result is that everyone is superficially nice to one another, while building up resentment. MUAs with enforced friendliness attract plodders, but people with that spark dislike the oppressive atmosphere and tend to leave. Unfortunately, plodders are very numerous, so enforced friendliness makes economic sense (at least in the short term before the plodding masses start gunging up the works when they make wiz).
