Life Games

• All games have animportant and probablydecisive influence on thedestinies of the playersunder ordinary socialconditions.

• But some offer moreopportunities than othersfor life long careers andare more likely to involverelatively innocentbystanders.

• This group may beconveniently called LifeGames.

Debtor• Debtor is more than a

game. It is a script, aplan for a wholelifetime.

• Most young people taketheir mortgages veryseriously only in timesof stress.

• Most of the time, theyplay a mild game of “ Ifit weren’t for thedebts”.

Debtor

• Try and Collect (TAC) is

a mild money game

commonly played by

married couples and

illustrates how a game

is set up so that the

player wins whichever

way it goes.

Debtor• Creditor is a form of “ Try

and Get away with it”

(TAGAWI), is sometimes

played by small landlords.

• TAC and TAGAWI players

readily recognize each other

and because of the

prospective transactional

advantages become involved

with each other.

Debtor

• Regardless of who wins

the money, each has

improved the other’s

position for playing

“Why does this always

happens to me?” after

it is all over.

Debtor

• The obvious antithesis for

TAC is to request

immediate payment of

cash.

• But a good TAC player has

methods for getting

around that, which will

work on any but the most

hard boiled creditors.

Debtor

• The antithesis for TAGAWI

is promptness and

honesty.

• Since both TAC and

TAGAWI players are both

professionals in every

sense of the word, an

amateur has very little

chance of winning.
