Stratagem

Thu Mar 8, 2007, 11:22 PM
after long play on WoW and working on a "company" i noticed almost all of key strategy on Sun Tzu's Art Of War really does exist. (for those who havent read it yet... go buy even a cheap copy now! its a must buy book for a person being slapped on the face daily by his work and/or play)

but Mr.Tzu kinda left something out... well, for my sake actually and try to enumerate and explain some of them(or the ones i can remember for now... hahahha)

(this exerpts are translated in my own words)
1. in an army one must have a strong soldier, a weak soldier, a fool soldier, and a backstabbing one...
***yep, a number of strong ones to keep the army alive, weak ones to throw away for bait, a fool so he'll stand by you all the way even your moral are slightly crooked, and a backstabbing one to be your spy. my point here is also the same for friends. a strong one so theres someone you can hide to or fight your battle for you, a weak one so you can out-power them... free gifts, food, etc. a fool can be the one that follows anywhere. his loyalty is the one that keeps your whole group alive. and a backstabbing friend can be useful whenever you have fights on other enemy or friends. its the friend who goes under the "the enemy of your enemy is your FRIEND" category of friends.

2. one must know your weakness or strength before your enemy's
***totally true! PVP in WoWis a hell if you dont know what your enemy is capable of doing. in filipino scene though is totally different. if you dont know that person is capable of the better. surprises isnt the best quality of a filipino... just like on telenovelas... if the story is a pasé, old timly, hunk of trash of a storyline, it would more probably to be watched by all of the whole country. philippines is an old tradition type of community. too old for my taste...

3. In ancient times those known as good warriors prevailed when it was easy to prevail
***for my point of view, they just have initiative on the battlefield. in the old days, you cant copy or steal something in an instant. now a days, if you want to be good on something you can do it. you can cheat, steal, gamble, anything that your heart desires. it is easier to stomp someone on the ground if you can trip them first. hence, the excerpt the one who is first in battle has the upper hand.

well, thats it for now
