Alright, I'm only gonna say this once - so listen up.
A "better" player is one who is willing to fight not necessarily one who is good at it. Nobody in the AvA makes fun of players for not being good, they make fun of players for being wussys, for being scared.
Say your playing football and the ball is kicked-off. If you rush headlong into the fray and get knocked on your butt, well good on ya for tryin'. If you see the players comin at ya and run off behind the bench and hide under the Gatorade table, your a wuss and people will laugh, point, and jeer. Wuss factor of 1
Add to that If you always run and hide you never learn how to knock the other guy on his butt. Dumb factor of 1.
Multiply that by the wimp factor that this isn't a physical game, no pain is involved.
You get WIMP(WUSS+DUMB) = EXTREMELY LAME it's just a matter of math.
So much for the football correlation commentary on pain and such. I bet even the wettest noob can figure out there's nothing that physical in AHII. Must be emotional pain. I see a lot of that. Usually the symptoms are worring too much about how the other guy enjoys himself and how that makes the game boring ... or unfair ... or makes the other guy lesser somehow (whiney bravado?). I bet Tiger Woods lays awake at night if he sees a golfer in a tournament that sucks so much more than he does. Takes the fun right our of golfing for him. He may even call other golfers names at the country club and strut around their dinner tables. Hell, I just typed over a half dozen sentences and took a couple minutes out of my life (so far) that could have been better spent not worrying about how traumatized the guy who I shot or who shot me is over it how it did or didn't happen. Must be catchin'. Hate's fine. DoK had it right all along. Have fun. Be inventive. Don't cry in public .... whether you're the bestest or the worstest and maybe the other guy will just have to imagine how broken up you are to bring a smile to his face. VaVoom!
But I'm glad you're only gonna say that once. I don't really have time for a follow-up. I've become a rather selfish bass-tid lately.
