Two events happened recently which i thought a lot about. I attended at convention where i played a blood bowl tournament. There i met some players who had the same distiinct oppinion. Don't say sorry in fumbbl, you don't mean it anyway. They both loved fouling and considered it their duty to foul star players. They were cool guys and all, they just had a bit dirtier view of blood bowl than me. I talked a bit with them and they seemed like generally nice guys, they just didn't feel sorry or had mercy at a bunch of pixels.

Then today i played a skaven team. Really nice chap and the game started out fine. Then his rats started dying. Now i'm used to being diceraped, but this guys luck.. i would have been screaming.. So when he used his apothecary on a killed starplayer, and then got double skull where i killed a lineman, and then in the end of the game failed a 2+ dodge roll with his 40+sp gutter runner who got killed. I felt sorry for the dude.. of course i did, who wouldn't have? well of course those guys i ranted about earlier. So i came to thinking a bit, do i generelly feel sorry for the dude or do i just say sorry, and why do i feel sorry over some silly pixels?

Cause everything in this world has the importance that you put in it. A dog for me, is some barking thingy who smells bad and runs into my leg again and again. But for some i know, it's a trusted a friend, it's someone whose loss they would lament dearly. It would evoke tears and grief, perhaps even more grief than if a semi close colleague died. I disagree with their thinking, i don't love animals that much. But do i have the right to tell them they're wrong? That it's just blood cells and bones anyway. No i don't. Cause i'm human, and i have the same feelings about other things. My wedding ring, it's a band of metal. It's cold hard and just a dead thing. I could make lots of copies of it. But that wedding ring has a lot of feelings for me, and if it were gone i would be sorry. I proberly wouldn't cry over it. But i would be sad and grieving.

So don't tell me i can't feel sorry for a guy whose pixels just died. Cause i don't know if he cares for those pixels, dead or alive. I don't know if the lineman once made a 6+ dodge save and threw a longbomb to a dude way deep, who ran and scored and won a tournament fr the dude. I don't know if he had some hard times once and got over it thorugh concentrating on other things, like blood bowl, and perhaps he feels his team helped him through those hard times back then.

I don't know. I really don't. And i have no rigths what so ever to say that he's wrong about caring, and i have no worries i might be wrong for carring about it or feeling bad about it.

maxems dude, i'm sorry for killing your players, i hope they were just some pixels for you, but god damn it I felt bad that those weren't just badly hurt players.
