Rivalries

What is it about that one guy you play against the most? most often if you're like me it's nothing but fun and games, you know if you lose, you know opinions won't change. But every now and again, things heat up a tad. Sometimes in a really big match it's more cutthroat than even the most hardcore of tournaments. Predicting every move, fighting to the last, it's where the real magic happens. If you learn when to get this going, it will make your games ten times more enjoyable, if you do it wrong though, it can create tension and lead to awkward next games. Learn when to walk the line, and when to be friendly and you can't go wrong.

However, we all have that one guy that we love to hate. That one guy that we either love to pummel, or that one guy that loves to pummel us. They're there in every group, just keep looking. Now these players provide a unique release, one where if you wreck his shit backwards, you don't feel sorry for one second. One where if you get your ass kicked, any anger you gain is just fuel for the fire. These guys, while hated, are necessary. Living as these guys sucks, but hey not every star can shine the brightest, oh well.

Then there are those random ass players. Where you call them by the wrong name when the game is done. Your point of view on them could either be hoping to shit all over them, (your probably the guy your group loves to hate, if that's the case) or looking for a new friend, and hoping to just have a good time.

One thing is for sure, people have spent a lot of time and money on their armies (sometimes just a lot of money) and (either way) they HATE to lose. Now if you can get over that hatred of losing, and enjoy the fight for fighting sake, then you will make friends a lot faster. But don't throw the match of course, just have a good time, things will work out.

Anywho, time to step down off the soapbox.
