My blathering mouth..
It just dawned on me that my usual TT chatting full of irony and silly exclamations doesnt really come across as its meant to at times over the net (how thats news to me now feels silly heh).
When I get way better dice then my opponent I tend to agree wholeheartedly with my opponents comments on the subject, but I also tend to comments like "pows again ^^" which I mean like omg these dice are silly -sorry etc.
I usually offer rematches hopefully with less crooked dice post game.
Today Emphasy got nuffled and as I enjoy playing you I might have chatted a bit more then usual (ie lots).
Post game you were kind enough to point out what I had missed myself: my blathering might be seen as gloating! =(
So now that it's dawned on me I'll try to filter my blathering in order to improve mine and my opponents gaming experience.
If any of you play me and I come across as gloating pls let me know. I might not mean it that way but that shouldnt reduce your fun either!
Cheers and thx again Emp hope to play you again soon.
PS Sorry to any other opponent who suffered from this too DS

Gloating adds to the atmosphere! Offfffcourse you can gloat a bit when you are pounding your opponent! As long as its good natured!
I tend to say when i make a lot of CAS stuff like YESSS MY MASTER KHORNE WILL BE PLEASED! Don't know if that counts though ;-)

Regardless of your opponent, people who say things after getting diced aren't always right. They are normally just a little angry. It's still nice if you consider your opponent in general.

He who wins the match also wins the right to glaot.

Thx Piggy =)
Back to gloating subject:
I dont think you should gloat at least not when you are ahead mainly by chance. Enjoy the advantage sure but gloating to me is when you take it over the top, which leads to poorer playing atmosphere.
I guess its the same as people whining too much to the same effect.
Commenting on what happens on field makes for better atmosphere and more fun, but take it too far and its just annoying.

The tricky part is realizing when the opponent thinks its gone beyond fun over the top ;)

I tend to have the same problem mate. I am still not sure what is the "correct approach" versus a pissed off and unlucky opponent =)

emph is a nice coach but he is alos one who is sometimes easily annoyed. so its probably a combination of both you and him that led to trouble - but its always good to consider your opponent
