1. Um... first thing that comes to mind is my dad. It was a bunch of little things with him. Like taking my money and never paying me back when I was growing up. Before that, he up and left right on my 5th birthday. The last thing he did that seemed to be the last little straw was when he promised he'd bring me something. Even went so far as to say that he had it with him and was coming over. When he gets here, he gives me something completely different. And that just... did it. It just culminated with all the past stuff and I was just done.

--there's also maybe a little something with a step brother but I can't be certain. So I'll just leave it there.

2. I don't know. I'm not sure I've done so yet. I mean, I've said some cruel things but nothing treacherous. Well, except maybe accidentally revealing someone's secret. Can't say I have a memory there.

3. Can't say. I feel there are a lot of heinous things that can qualify. There's not just one.

1. Professionally I was applying for a position in a company that I was more suited to and would be a diagonal promotion. I approached my immediate manager about it and they said that I would be a good fit and they would support me. After my interview I was told all they needed was a review from our managers and that would be it. I was denied the promotion due to an unfavorable performance review from my manager, which I found strange due to my bi-annual manager?s assessment had me scoring top marks in every area.

Turns out my manager shit talked me to the boss because they wanted to keep me in their department as my performance resulted in them getting a bonus. Of course I found this out months after from the boss directly...

2. Said manager was skirting the rules a bit to improve efficiency and cut costs (ergo improve their chance at bonuses), spoke with me about the procedure they were using. I asked them if it was okay and they said "Not really but it'll make us look better by using it and corporate isn't exactly going to investigate this. Just keep doing it." I gave them a wink and said "I won't tell if you don't".

When the security manager visited I asked for a personal sit-down with them and informed on my manager ? who found themselves out the door. When the tale unraveled completely I was granted the promotion I was seeking when the person who got it ahead of me left the company to move to Australia.

3. Breach of contract. I believe when a word is given in a legal setting and signed for to go back on THAT is the most terrible thing. Not because of potential damage but because you have not only just given your word but actually involved the state in the procedure. Two people sitting down, reaching an agreement, looking each other in the eyes, shaking hands then putting pen to paper has got to be the strongest promise we can make (this includes marriage/civil-unions). Since it's the strongest promise we can make to break it would have to be the greatest betrayal.

1. Generally people abandoning me when things get tough.

2. Don't really want to discuss it because I'm partially ashamed of it, but I'll just say that I don't go to Boston anymore. The PD around there has a personal bone to pick with me.

3. Betrayal of trust in general.

1-Whats the greatest act of treachery you have experienced
I told two people I was once in a relationship (well it was a lied to stop them keep asking me about my love life as in when will I get a girlfriend and etc) back in high school and promise to keep it a secret. Sometime later I had a simple row with one of them (forgot what it was) and he went to spread the words about my secret.

2-what the biggest act of treachery you have committed
Spilling the beans that one of my mate did had a girlfriend during one summer camp. Before you asked, this happened before the treachery I mention above otherwise I wouldn't had tell others on my fake secret. Also no he wasn't the one who I told the secret to either.

3-In general whats the worst treachery a person can commit.
Pretty much from those personal experience of my, friends betraying others and it wasn't justify to do so in the first place (I may have understand if a friend lied in order to get a better makr or promotion but not for a petty argument).

1. I guess it's not really a betrayal, but I have a strong suspicion that my ex-girlfriend left me for someone else, whilst she told me it was for very different reasons and gave me false hope. I'd rather know the truth than that to be honest. I'm sure that sounds pathetic, but to be honest, I haven't had to deal with people being shits since the end of secondary school. I guess it's a sign that my friends are pretty cool guys.

2. I don't really know. That's not to say I'm a great guy that's never been treacherous, I'm sure I've done some horrible things, I just don't remember. I used to be a bit of a **** when I was younger. I suppose, a girl did cheat on her boyfriend with me, but I wasn't aware that she wasn't single. I should have probably figured out that she wasn't, but I was either being wilfully ignorant or just unobservant that night.

3. I'm not sure, if we're ignoring things to do with war and suchlike. I'd say betraying anyone you know that loves you (any kind of love, not just romantic), even if you don't love them back. Betrayal hurts the most when it breaks the most trust, which is (to me at least) a big part of love.

Looking at this thread, fuck me, my life has been an easy one so far. I should definitely tell my parents how much of a good job they did more often.

My first and third answers are related in that they led to my second.

I emphasize those values because they were things that I lacked. Now the people I hurt wish to pay retribution.

You're free to fill in the blanks and imagine the details.

1. Self doubt, was going to put this at 2

2. When I was about 7-8 me and a friend were strolling around in this field with super soakers, I think we were trying to use sheep as target practise :/ Anyway two older guys cam along, I reckon they were about 13-14 maybe a bit older. One of them wanted to use a super soaker so we half let him, I kept hold of it with one hand, he then fired it as his friend who must have been looking the other way. His friend gets mad and then asks who did it, I point at my friend.

That's the one I am most ashamed of, it may not be a very serious event but it's my first memory of being a twat to a friend. Worst part is the friend who was with me saved my life at some point, I think it must have been a year or two after this.

3. As others said when some one trusts, and that trust is abused. You just expect the truth from some one if your at that stage.

I know I've experienced treachery before and have been lied to my face but nothing will ever top the treachery to my soul such as this pos game that most of us dreamed of becoming a reality only for it to be nothing but a total sham.

Basically Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Lots of stuff. But none that I cannot forgive.
I am actually really easy going about stuff like that.
It takes a whole lot more energy to be upset at people or try to deceive people than it is to lie or be upset at being lied to.

My imagination: Scolar Visari an orphan from the age of 3.5, taken into Boston state care at The Orphanage. This compound was not to contain the young Visari for long.

During in one of his many breakouts from the grounds he stumbled across the local police station. Now aged six he was indulging himself in fantasies of where his life would take him, or where he would it. Upon entering the precinct he immediately gained an affinity for the station along with those who staffed it. An absurd selection range of doughnuts bolstered the already healthy foundations of his desired career path.

The receptionist at the station took pity on the orphan and his story, through this he was allowed to have a tour of the station followed up by half a days experience of riding in a cop car before being dropped off back at The Orphanage. Visari asked the officer "Could I join the force, go deep undercover? Like Starsky and Hutch?!"
To which the cop joked "Sure kid you go deep undercover in there," pointing at the Orphanage, "might be awhile till you get a car though. See ya kid."

In the young mind of Visari, he pictured how the long days watching Starsky and Hutch, and practising driving manoeuvres in the yard behind the wheel of the orphanage's go-cart would pay off. Not to mention the many arrests he carried out on other orphans, whose offensives ranged from littering the ground to anti-social behaviour during in story time (which included crying).

No one could have imagined the hot bed of crime that lay within The Orphanage Walls (Sorry Miami).

First day on the job and already it showed just how bad things were going to be, The Orphanage carers were showing rated 12 movies to minors, ages 3-11, those sick bastards were going to pay! Visari recorded the crime, including the word bastards. Even though he was unsure of the meaning, he knew it was said in such a piercing tone it could only help bring the offenders to cold bosom of justice.

Over the weeks many more incidents occurred, the only thing that had got him seriously worried was in a late night patrol when he followed the sounds of loud sobbing and screams into the library. The view through the book case was surely proof of vampires, or at least some kind of grievous assault. Vasari found his presence on the scene to be unwelcome, especially by the victim. Madness! After confronting the man who had pinned the Headmaster's wife against the wall, he was told to get lost by both persons of whom the event concerned. Moments like these made Visari question if the world was ready for his standard of law keeping, as it was shameful to leave the situation unresolved and audibly still continuing.

The monthly crime reports the Boston PD got from Vasari went unanswered, surely the police were just biding their time, accumulating data and evidence to allow them to make a crack down. Surely.

Two years have passed, they have left Vasari feeling isolated, cut off with no message of when help will arrive. Given these dire circumstances Vasari has developed a harsh and unforgiving addiction to gummy bears. Simply put, you melt down a 5 0z bag of gummy bears then quickly drink drink. Known as the Big B, the Big Bear.

The timing of the harrowing addiction could be no worse, the orphanages darkest secrets were slowly coming to light around are undercover agent.

No one could fail to notice the change in the staff around the orphanage, the once tidy and semi-respectful staff who had once radiated at least a past presence of youth now were replaced with thin dishevelled layabouts with rotting teeth. Life in the orphanage had once been seen as a partly inflated balloon in our young agent's eyes, constant and not of the extremes, now however it was in a cycle of being deflated then suddenly with no notice, back to over inflated. A *pop* would no doubt be the end. A sense of unease had crept in, both in the dead of night and the stark light of day. Only gummy bears could fight of the sheer lassitude that emanated from the place.

Worse still were the disappearances that occurred. Most were of the naughty children, but the quiet children also seemed to be snatched away. Vasari wouldn't have thought twice about children leaving for foster homes, it just seemed odd for the troublesome to be picked for foster care.

Then one night Vasari discovered the big reveal. It started with an urge to do a late night patrol, quite an impulse given that he hadn't done one within the last year due to lack of feedback from the force. Plus nightly trips down to the kitchen for access to the microwave had taken over (gummy bears don't melt themselves). Everything was going as expected until hearing one of the main double doors in the hallway open. Sticking to the shadows to see who would be coming in at this time ended up paying off. The staff member who emerged had no worry in the world as they traipsed down the hall and took the sharp right into the kitchen. Vasari heard a door shut in the kitchen as he followed in pursuit.

The kitchen was empty, and with only one entrance the sound of the door shutting went unaccounted for. Vasari was sure it was not the sound of a worktop being shut, but given the person he was pursuing had vanished, hiding in a kitchen unit was not out the question. Seeing the microwave diverted his thought for he wished he had had the foresight to bring down gummy bears. Expanding on that thought he wondered if hallucinations were a side effect on missing a hit of Big B, "Don't be silly." he thought reassuringly, "It's not like I am sniffing sherbet".

It hit him right then, the only door in here was right in front of him, the walk in-freezer. Readying his slingshot and a line stolen right out of corny crime sitcom, Vasari entered, "Time to cool off..."
The supposed perpetrator was no where in sight.

Left alone in the freezer he started to reflect on where thing had gone wrong. Unbeknown to him it had just gone as wrong as it was ever going to go. At the door the realisation hit hard, the freezer can't not be opened from this inside. Surviving wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for a diet consisting of gummybears. Trapped in a freezer surrounded by cans of "not-mysterious meat" he faded away, convinced that the withdrawal symptoms from gummy bears had to be hallucinations not the sweats.

Police raided the Orphanage the next day, because of anonymous tips that were being mailed over the last few years. They found a meth lab hidden under the walk in freezer and the body of a 8 year old boy who had be abandoned.


(The last half of the "story" was going to make sense, but then I looked at the time)

1. My first girlfriend had used our relationship as a way to make her ex jealous and eventually try to win her back. She eventually went back to him, and I really didn't find out about this whole ex competition thing until after we had broken up. So that's a bit more treacherous if you ask me.
2. While one of my closest friends was in a relationship, her and I had a friends with benefits relationship going on. Technically speaking, it really only happened when her boyfriend and her broke up, but let's just say they had a lot of small break ups and kept getting back together...
3. Manipulating people based off of the trust they built up for you. That's really treachery in general, but I would say all treachery is bad; don't know many instances it's good.

1. My uncle gave each of my sisters quite a bit of money when they turned eighteen. When I turned eighteen, my uncle gave the money to my (estranged) dad to give to me. Needless to say I never got it. I knew he didn't really care but that seemed almost malicious to me. I will point out that I did have to think for a bit to remember that though, so I'm kinda over it.

2. I never kept in touch with my friends when I moved. I still regret it.

3. I dunno, I guess betrayal is worst when it's someone you really trust.
