There is a group called the Pirog-ites? Do they see me as a god?

<i>Pirog, 99.9% of games have some kind of feature/flaw which makes them poor for multiplayer use. Even a game like chess has exactly the same flaw that you are describing. Either you can find a way around this or continue to be frustrated... forgive me for feeling you're a little bit daft for apparently choosing to be eternally frustrated</i>


But every match is not against a power gaming, bloodthirsty bastard. Just like every person I encountered in World of Warcraft wasn't a douche bag that killed me just because he could. So the frustration is personal, not aimed at the game. You don't HAVE to foul when the match is decided just because you can, you know? Just like someone can say "Ouch, sorry about killing that awesome super player. He was cool." instead of cheering and running around the room in celebration.
It's a matter of how much sympathy and empathy a person feels for their opponents. Ironically the "social club", this prestigious and exclusive society of top class gentlemen and better people, are in many cases quite poor at showing such feelings. They often present it as a weakness and something to scorn at and ridicule. You know what I mean, because you have done it yourself. Another notable example is Calcium, who thinks that every form of emotion over seeing your team turn to dust is proof that you're a coward.

By now in this topic it is pretty clear that I'm not alone in thinking so. I also have a feeling that a lot of the people who will never read this thread or take part in forum discussions might share my view, but that's of course a bit unfair to claim.

As I said earlier it's also probably a bit of a difference in perspectives. You who play alot and are very skilled probably doesn't see rebuilding a badly shattered team as a big thing. For others it can be a time consuming and boring project. And some of us "pixel huggers" actually miss our teams if we are forced to retire them. Do when then have a right to demand that you go a bit easier on us? No. Do we have the right to thinking that you're wankers when you crush our teams just because you can? Yes.

And don't feel bad for thinking that I'm daft. I think that you are daft for not getting the actual point despite this thread being on page 7 or 8.
