Oh, I don't know about that. It depends on how you look at it. Carrying
enmity and friendships between games can be seen as modelling a richer
historical background within the game itself. Certainly in the real
world it is common for alliances and rivalries to exist without any
obvious rational political or economic basis. Why should it be any
different in a game world?
