even i very rarely use THAT word.
And yet overall, in the quotes from you that people post here, you sound very similar in tone and in content to that person you're criticizing. Maybe you don't care, but that IS how you come across.
Yes. Yes. Yes. But there is a difference.
I don't care about language that he used, but that he was wrong... i outplayed him so badly (2nd game in a row) and it had nothing to do with luck.
When i am sounding like this i usually (not always - sometimes i do just because something else has got me mad) am sure that i took 50%+ line. And the problem starts when my dumb opponent doesn't realize that he got lucky and fights back.
Here are 2 games i played yesterday vs. -Stef- who yesterday got +3 levels 18-4-1 and is now level 45. 18-4! How does he do it?
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120428-084327-7dd10ae4.htmlReally boring deck: it is basically BM+tribute(s). He opens chancellor silver vs. my silver silver - he basically hit jackpot and it was no chancer for me. (I think he got turn 3 gold+reshuffle and then his tribute went for +4 some times when i got only +2 or sth.. doesn't really matter). In the end, although, he realizes that there was huge luck involved he remarks that his strategy was better. That is what gets me mad and people with whom i get rude.
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120428-091351-f5ac36d6.htmlHe opens steward -steward!!! i open steward-silver. I trash 2 estates in 3rd turn and he remarks that i can't complain about luck this time.
Guess what were his first 9 moves?

If he did fight back then I'm sure many of you do it also thinking that you have outplayed me. BTW i think his pawn buys were a mistake not even mentioning his steward-steward.
...Especially from people i hardly ever played against.
