Why do you game?

Why do you game? 16 years 1 month ago #1

fnordchaos Topic Author Offline Posts: 2383	Jeff's post about why people get excited over tokens (they wanted it for themselves vs resale value) just got me to thinking.<br />I'm curious as to why you guys and gals play in tournaments. Just pick your TOP reason.<br /><br />And nobody else is allowed to vote for the last option - that's MINE. Because I'm Number Last! (or in WizKids terms... I'm Fellowshippy!) =D

Pffft. Pansies. The only reason to game is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of the women.

exactly what i was thinking; for the fun of it. =D when something is no longer fun, to me, it starts to seem like work. then it is time to find something else. :|

Posts: 1500	LOL, DD, I read it as fellow hippy. <br /><br />I don't play tournaments at GenCon or other gaming events like that, but I have played cribbage tournaments - won a few, did horribly in others - I play for the fun. If I were to have a #2 vote, it would be to meet new people. Fotoz by Fritz

I love to dominate and leave nothing standing. I want to CRUSH!! Either under my stomping feet or under my iron fist. Turn things inside out and leave it an unrecognizable lump that nobody wants to touch. Pound it until the spine gets blown out and is a quivering mound of goo! Must CRUSH,CRUSH,CRUSH!! *Takes a deep breath* What are talking about again?
