I believe that anything can bring people together. Take for example the game called Madden Mobile, a mobile football game, played by millions around the world. In the game you make a team out of cards collected from packs. There is an whole economy side of the game with the auction house where you can buy and sell players. Recently some of my friends and I have been really getting into this game. We call it the grind. In the game you can make leagues which are groups of people that can compete against each other and against other leagues. Because of all this playing we have been talking more, and actually interacting with each other. These experiences with my friends have made us closer. Let's take a look my experiences.
We start off our story in a bad league, one I randomly joined so i could starting getting rewards and work my way through the game. I noticed right away that the members were not active, we were losing tournaments, and we were getting nowhere on the rewards. This upset me as I actually wanted to get better at the game, and at this rate I was going nowhere. So I set out to make us as a league better, playing more and upgrading my team. Still the league was terrible. We won one out of every five tournaments which was not good at all. I then knew I would have to do something drastic to even entertain the idea of being in a better league. The story continues at school the next week. I had started talking to my friends who played the game, and asking them if they would want to make a new league, a hopefully good league. About a day later 4 or 5 of my friends had agreed to join a league if I made one, so I did. And they joined. And then others joined. Less than 3 days after we had created the league, we were full, full of the great people who play this game. We started off brilliantly winning our first 5 tournaments and progressing very quickly on the rewards. I was ecstatic at this point, and me and multiple of my friends were talking every day about this game, continuing to grow our coins and make our teams better. For hours a day we could just get lost on this game talking for what seemed like forever. Before school, during school, after school, on the weekend, we would talk whenever. As you can see me and my friends have definitely grown closer because of this game. Madden mobile has been a huge part of our friendship in the past 2 months. As you can see anything can bring people together. It might not always be Madden mobile or some other game, but anything can bring people together. You can use just about anything to become a better friend with someone which makes your, and their lives a whole lot better.
