==>Other than the fact that I am usually one, eh.. they aren't useful. :\
21: How do you plan on catching scum?

Why do you think that? Nah, I've read a couple of your games (I enjoy reading completed games) and Haylen greeted me when I was a newbie. That's all I think.

mastin2 wrote:An additional question I want to ask everyone:
25A: Do you play more for fun, or more for the thrill of victory?
FUN
25B: Your stance aside, do you think others should play with a similar outlook? Explain why or why not.
No I enjoy playing with people with different playstyles makes it more interesting.
25A: Do you play more for fun, or more for the thrill of victory?
==> Hmm hard to say. I guess I play for a little of both. Then again, wouldn't getting the victory count as fun? I play to have fun, but I will also play to win. I won't purposely lose for fun.
25B: Your stance aside, do you think others should play with a similar outlook? Explain why or why not.
==> I think other players should play to have fun, but if their version of fun is some demented form of trolling they can leave. Using the words "play to have fun" is so ambiguous and opens up so many options for trolls and griefers to just make the game less fun. Also, people who only play to win can be rather abrasive and hard to play with and I suggest that they inject a little bit of levity into their playstyle.
