That's right.. I play to lose. Not to win.
"What?" you say...
"wouldn't you want to play to win?" you ask.
Well.. in a sense.. i do both. I play to lose, but i try to win. I don't play to win.
I was recently invited to join 101stcorps clan, given a week to think about it. I thought about it. Even asked and tried to get my good friend Zaun42(ranked#5with the rocket..check if you must) to consider joining also.
But after a week of evaluation i've come to realize that the clan consists of players that play in a style that is really not very sportsmen like. No matter what happens 101st members end up on the winning team. Now, i understand that the war college ribbon is a prized ribbon to get...but is being a poor sportsman one of the requirements? Numerous times i destroyed 101st members.. sometimes knifing 2 or 3 of them at a time.. laughing all the way of course but no matter what, they always win. Sure i play for badges and ribbons.. but i take them as they come.. if i don't deserve a ribbon, why should i get it?
So that's right.. i play to lose. I'm a good sportsman and a good loser. I lose with pride. If i get my ass handed to me without being spawnkilled the entire round then i feel like i've made my game worth while... I never play my single player stuff on easy.. what's the point?
Basically i guess what i'm trying to say is... what's the point in playing a game if you know you're going to win no matter what?
