The worst type of nightmare.

[474-E58]
Last night I had the worst nightmare.
Preface: I've been interested in becoming a road captain for a group of riders in my state. Which means I create, manage, and guide riders on routes, tours, and activities. An old friend of mine, who I can let my guard down around took advantage of me by saying "I have a business opportunity for you." When inquiring about it he told me to have everyone meet at a specific building. We all make it there and I keep expecting to see and trying to find the third burrow. Or white knight. The final stooge. He's nowhere to be seen. I blow it off as he is usually a flake now. Everyone meets up at the spot parking their bikes in several areas as usual. Once at the meeting point he told us we had ride somewhere.
This specific route had a bunch of people on the side of the road, blocking it off and making it difficult to navigate safely. Making everyone get off their bike. I make it the farthest up and realize what's happening. It's a traveling carnival show. Stupid little games set up on the side of a busy street, forcing people to stop, get out, and funnel through a bunch of bullshit games for stupid prizes.
I just got "inceptioned."
I got out of that stupid carnival, rode back to the meeting point, and walked around. Everyone close to me in the rider group wanted to know where my friend was. After all he directed the group. Eventually I find him after giving up looking around.
He comes up to me in a different set of clothing asking me "what do you think?" I walk over to him trying to get close to express I would have done it under a better setup but this was fucking dirty! However he took as me wanting to kill him.
He points at an event happening nearby and has our group name on a tv displayed outside. And he says "look, that's mine." The amount of money we generated for him was his challenge goal.
Pissed me off so hardcore.
A god damn fucking hustlers scheme. Not even a pyramid scheme. It was a Hustler's scheme man.
I never thought a god damn pyramid scheme would be such a great nightmare.
