Hello. (shit, it's longer than I thought it would be, but it is a quick read, unless you have Whose Line running in the background)
I do not post here that often, but since this is a bit like a third home, I have to offer the following strange experience I had today and that day before.
This takes place in Berlin, Germany.
My flatmate is in a band, nothing special, just five guys between 25 and 40, playing their instruments to their songs.
The singer got to know a dame, or lady, or just woman, and that woman turns out to be a major in the US Army working in Ramstein, Germany.
The woman attended rehearsals twice and has probably had intercourse with the singer.
Soon it was proposed by her to go to the Karlsruhe Military Community Center to buy sound equipment and music instruments for less than half their original cost due to her having access to that centre.
It sounds good, but probably too good, but with every con, greed is stronger.
It was planned to go this Sunday morning and shop there in the afternoon and tomorrow and also have the band appear on stage. Again, sounds good.
I was in that boat to be the second driver, since only the major and me out of us seven were licensed to commandeer a vehicle.
I have no problem with that, I like driving and to see Ramstein is an okay incentive too.
I never met that major and it was scheduled to collect the equipment the group wanted to take with them (for sound checking and such - another promise with FooFighters sound engineer involvement) yesterday (Saturday), but it turned out, that the major had to organise a second car and that her US license allows her to drive heavy trucks, but not like 6 additional persons.
Thus I should drive the second car she was going to organise in the evening or maybe early morning of today.
Nothing else happened yesterday and the men were kinda confused, but what the hell, women are that way sometimes was their excuse.
Now we all stood up at around 6 am to be collected by her and a new female friend she took home to have her drive the second car. It turns out, those cars were trucks, at least orally.
At around 7 am, no one was there to get us.
It was communicated via Facebook chat, that the major and her army friend have overslept. It happens, especially on a Sunday.
It was 8 am, the major was messaging to one of the band members, she is 10 minutes away, her army friend was on her way to another location (on the edge of the city) to get another member.
9 am, the major was still lost due to having no navigation system and her friend hasn't shown up either.
10 am some phone calls were made and rejected, she was nearby it transpired, some went out to look for her.
11 am, we stopped caring and went back to bed.
Now my confusion, what the hell does such game offer the player? Has anyone have had any similar experience (it has to be absolutely tied to music, army, Sunday and something else entirely to make sense for me of course
) in their life, where they or a group of friends were deceived for no monetary gains and just for whatever sick fun?
While waiting for that major, I looked around the www to try find something about here, and besides her Facebook page I couldn't find anything else.
But it was really strange, that someone in her mid 30s, having studied at Harvard (at least according to her Facebook page) and being a major in the army, could not find her way in a city full of maps every couple of metres.
That is what made me suspicious, but my flatmate tried to assure me, that such a big web of lies would not be coming from such a sweet person, she just might have the anti-navigation gene.
Anyway, I wanted to get that silly experience off my chest, and if anyone can contribute some thoughts to make understand such behaviour, that would be shiny.
