Hoorah!!

That's good to hear Dan, when I played you yesterday I did feel you were stuck in a "Whine-Rut".

I was i was feeling pretty down after back to back to back loses, but since that blog linked in my bio i have been happy and now i have had back to back wins, I think Nuffle knows when your down so he likes to kick you in the bollox more.

If you can win (or tie) when the dice have gone against you, then it does feel so much better and more satisfying. Take it as a challenge, bad dice will make you a better player :)

In close to 800 games, I can't recall a single person ever saying to me "Well done you were the better player" or "you deserved to win".

However I can recall dozens (hundreds) of occasions where my victory has been plain and simply down to the dice/dicing/cheating/luck/their unluckyness/bad run/jinxed team/the fact that I am a devil worshiper etc.

How refreshing it would be for a few compliments to be given having actually played the game well for 90 mins.

Incidentally I do this when deserved and when I do the frustration of defeat is forgotten much more quickly.

You really have a good point there GAZZATROT, i remember playing battlefield against other teams and only once did a team say to us "good game you boys played really well and great tactics" after they said that it did make me feel good as a complete stranger over the internet could say that.

From now on if i get beaten and they really did play well i am going to say that.

Why would you whine, you won 2-0? XD I had to figure the same thing out Dan. I didn't need a blog, but it's been a more enjoyable game after I did figure it out. Keep up the good work!
