"Play to win," could mean "the reason I am playing this game is because I want to win this game," or, "I will play in such a way that I maximize my chances of winning."<br /><br />A lot of games, especially competitive ones, aren't fun unless everyone is playing to win in the second sense. But if you are playing to win in the first sense, you probably aren't having fun unless you are winning every time.<br /><br />Your reason for playing a game should probably go beyond winning the game. If you literally don't like playing, and you can't enjoy a well fought but ultimately losing battle, or celebrate your successes and learning despite the fact that they didn't add up to a win this time then you'd probably have a better time doing something else.<br /><br />Now that's assuming you like having a good time. Obviously that doesn't have to be what you are trying to do.Sthennohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429676469805661834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-39753707083784271942011-07-06T11:10:27.926-05:002011-07-06T11:10:27.926-05:00I know just as many douche bag older elitists as I...I know just as many douche bag older elitists as I do younger. You just don’t hear about the older players as often because they know when to yell and scream and when keep their mouths shut. It’s easy to say all elitists are 14 year olds when they are the only ones who seem to be talking. Trade chat or forum posts aren’t the best example of labeling elitists.... I mean can you say they are 14 year old because they don’t punctuate properly? Or that their old because they say words like "Goldbricking or shenanigans"?Hyperiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-91501882517604512152011-07-06T09:56:45.873-05:002011-07-06T09:56:45.873-05:00I'd argue that adolescents play purely to win ...<i>I'd argue that adolescents play purely to win but it's something you can grow out of as you get better able to set your own goals :) <br /></i><br /><br />Interesting that carebears always label hardcore pvp players as "adolescents". There is certainly quite a bit of young people ,especially in top end competition level .- That is primarily just like some other sports because it requires honed reflexes , quick reaction and quick mind<br /><br />At the level of organized team play (clans/guild) there is a lot of people in their 30/40/50s ,especially in leadership positions. Most of them have families ,business and are quite mature .Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814638059509556522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-42297617378156300722011-07-06T06:22:45.193-05:002011-07-06T06:22:45.193-05:00Can I +1 Spinksiville?!
