i ask this out of curiosity-.. why is it i feel like that people who are good at politics, event-planning, and other forms of minecraft diplomacy seemingly always taken advantage of? I say this out of observation and no specific reason.

Group builders put the collective ideal before themselves. In order to meet said collective ideal, these group builders must interact with other players in order to develop a base. Ambitious people around them do not care for the greater ideal and instead only desire personal success or self aggrandizement. Thus, the selfish actor in pursuit of their personal goals, will take advantage of the group builder's selflessness.

I'd also add that most people who actually study political theory try to create long term collective good, as opposed to power politick. Simply put, LOTC's meme culture rewards power politick and disfavors the high politics that political theorists try to emulate. Though, it should be known that most people who practice power politick IRP or OOCly are shortlived as the practice focuses on short term personal clout, as opposed to uplifting ones foundation and creating a change that lasts. So it's all a perspective thing, power politicians may appear the most successful in the immediate, but in the long term; their foundation always crumbles. This leaves the people who practice high politics the opportunity to pick up those pieces and further strengthen the position they've already carved out for their community.
