Game night

[MEAT]

Not bad for a Friday night...the only problem is most of them left when I showed up...

...for DonDon!

Today I read that some gamers here are making fun about DonDon because
of his gaming style.

Oh, I wish there were many more DonDons!

DonDon is the most reasonable player among you all! He is a player who helps
to give that game (even if you can't believe: Yes, it's only a simple game!!!) the
true status!

I feel sorry for people who laugh at him or mock him like saying: „...it's frustrating
to watch him play“. (Don't you think it's not frustrating for him to watch you play?)

Shame to all intolerant score Fetishists!

SO, |)on|)on actually likes to play just for the FUN of playing, and not just for a high score?
Ah, a man after my own heart that is the main reason I play also.
I just love to play! (could give a crap about my score)

[Klownz]

(could give a crap about my score)

Cause your score is usually crap?

YEP! Well, but not always, because like I said, I play JUST for the FUN of playing!
Not always because Once in a while when my adrenaline is pumped up a bit I can and do kick butt, but 95% of the time I am just laid back and just have fun playing - and that is it.
Well, sometimes when i feel like winning, I have so much fun playing that I just win!
(I DO like to execute good shots though, most of the time for sure)
That may be hard to understand for some of you, but that is the way it is and has been for a long time.

Always fun seeing a full house.
Hey umo...nice ping...lol

[Fuzz_Ball]

Hey! Look at all those quality players!
Sorry I missed it.
Nothing more fun & exciting than opening a can of whoop-ass
on a group of adept players hell-bent on obliterating YOUR M0t#3RfVcking ass!!
The FVck with playing for fun, WINNING is fun!

Dammit!! As you said "nice ping"... Even with a good red wine at home this kind of hanbicap is sometimes hard for the nerves! Especially without wine lol

[MEAT]

Playing for FUN?
I've heard of this theory but have never seen it in UT.
Although the misconception is "someone having FUN isn't being competitive".
I assure you that |)on|)on is competitive, he wants to win and isn't having FUN when he loses.

Definition
Pathological gambling, problem gambling, or ludomania, is an urge to continuously gamble despite harmful negative
consequences or a desire to stop. Problem gambling often is defined by whether harm is experienced by the gambler
or others, rather than by the gambler's behavior. Severe problem gambling may be diagnosed as clinical pathological
gambling if the gambler meets certain criteria. Pathological gambling is a common disorder that is associated with both
social and family costs. The condition is classified as an impulse control disorder, with sufferers exhibiting many similarities
to those who have substance addictions. Finally pathological gambling means "being unable to resist impulses to gamble,
which can lead to severe personal or social consequences."

Are you a pathologic gambler? Find it out and answer the 10 questions below honestly (to yourself):

In order to be diagnosed, an individual must have at least five of the following symptoms:

1. Preoccupation. The subject has frequent thoughts about gambling experiences, whether past, future, or fantasy.
2. Tolerance. As with drug tolerance, the subject requires larger or more frequent wagers to experience the same "rush".
3. Withdrawal. Restlessness or irritability associated with attempts to cease or reduce gambling.
4. Escape. The subject gambles to improve mood or escape problems.
5. Chasing. The subject tries to win back gambling losses with more gambling.
6. Lying. The subject tries to hide the extent of his or her gambling by lying to family, friends, or therapists.
7. Loss of control. The person has unsuccessfully attempted to reduce gambling.
8. Illegal acts. The person has broken the law in order to obtain gambling money or recover gambling losses. This may include
acts of theft, embezzlement, fraud, or forgery.
9. Risked significant relationship. The person gambles despite risking or losing a relationship, job, or other significant opportunity.
10. Bailout. The person turns to family, friends, or another third party for financial assistance as a result of gambling.
