Good god in heaven I am sick of people using these Bullshit strategies, if they can even be called that. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about, you play a game with a friend who has come up with a "strategy" that renders you incapable of doing anything at all, let alone winning. Do these people not understand how frustrating it is not to be able to do anything? Do these assholes actually derive pleasure from winning in this situation? How is it any fun to have winning be inevitable, let alone that damn easy? You may as well be playing alone and just say "I win." I mean, what if i challenged someone to a game of Baseball, but used an extra large bat to ensure that I get hits and the ball goes far. And just to make it extra impossible for my opponent, they have to wear a ball and chain around both ankles as they run the bases. What the fuck is the point? I ask you! And to make matters worse, if these people aren't complete assholes about the fact that they won with such an unfair pile of shit, they believe that these types of strategies are perfectly legitimate ways of winning. I suppose in the way that any strategy that wins is a good one, yes, it's perfectly legitimate. But in the way of playing fair, with honor, and in a way that actually ALLOWS the other person to have fun, NO, THESE STRATEGIES ARE NOT LEGITIMATE!!!!!!! I know that your objective in a game is to fulfill the conditions for winning, and at the risk of sounding like a public service announcement, it's not all about winning! If winning were the only reason we play games, we wouldn't both even playing, we would simply declare ourselves the winner (see scenario above). Perhaps we've forgotten this, but this first purpose of a game is to have fun with the people you're playing with, winning is secondary. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy winning too and I'm not knocking it, but again, how can winning like this be fun? And when you lose like this so many times, would you honestly want to play again? Psychology tells us that HELL NO, YOU WOULDN'T! Why not you may ask? Two words: Learned helplessness. If even on a subconscious level you know/believe that you cannot win or change the situation, you aren't going to try. Then here will you be you assholes, huh? You'll be fucking alone with no friends and no-one who wants to play with you at. all. Getting off the rant train for a moment, wow, my first post for a while. Hope whomever is left actually notices and that everyone is doing good
