Some grammar nazism here... so betray-ee is someone who is being betrayed. The one who does the betraying is a betray-er.
So Chen should be saying "I'm more of a betray-ee kind of guy" instead of "I'm not".

I think it's meant to be like -ish, rather than -er. "Prone to betrayal" if you will. Y'know, like how faucets can be leaky...some people can be betray-ee.

Both are right, I think. I gather that Pete was going for what Yod said, but the existence of Betrayee is interferring with the intended usage. Recommendation: change it as Sig suggests.
Too lazy to quote.
....but them again, he's about to become a betrayer. Soooooooooo.....

I know so many hints and mentions point to Torg being in danger of losing because he doesn't have all his allies working together (Riff) nor all of his pieces in advantageous positions, but I don't want him in this position, so I feel so worried every time it's brought up. I don't want them to be in such peril!
Maybe I'm worried more because I can't click "next," "next," "next" to get to the finale of a storyline like I could when I was rereading the archives in the fall, so all of the "oh no, what will happen?!" is more drawn out.

So Chen should be saying "I'm more of a betray-ee kind of guy" instead of "I'm not". As I understand it, Chen says "You betrayed me first. I don't much like being betrayed (that is, being a betray-ee)."
