Message: [QUOTE="Dayne G., post: 815795, member: 40475"] You're right about FEAR. Definitely too strong a word. RESPECTED is a better word. I'm not wrong (for me, for my comfort level) about not needing to be liked. I don't necessarily want to be disliked, but having players look at me and say, "He's such a gr8 guy... I'm LIKE giving my $$ to him" doesn't happen w/ my opponents. I'm not advocating being a D*ck, but being overly nice when I compete, hasn't ever worked for me. There's two ways (both a win-win for me): They "enjoy" playing w/ me, and give it away... They "come after me" because I'm quiet (but they think I'm cocky) Either way is fine, AS LONG AS THEY'RE THINKING MORE ABOUT MY GAME, AND LESS ABOUT THEIR OWN! (and this should be the bigger point) How the above gets done isn't important to me. That's what makes this game so awesome... it's all about you! You! You! How YOU get it done will always differ from him, her, and me. [/QUOTE]
