don't get me wrong, i enjoy winning and i seem to be quite good at whatever i play - videogames, sport, chess etc (i only just started playing the 40k game so i don't know if i'm any good at it yet, although my dice rolling has been horrendous :) ).

whenever someone bends or breaks rules (on purpose) i find myself wondering why they play at all. if they don't abide by the structure of the game then they're not playing the game, they're playing some bastardised version simply to win.

personally i genuinely don't care about the outcome of any game, winning or losing just signifies the end of the game. if i win a game but played crap then i'm not happy with myself and vice versa, if i lose but played good i'm happy.

to players in general (whatever your game) i'd like to say, when you lose a game you think you should have won - don't gripe about it, remember it's just a 'game' and it should be enjoyed for the sake of the 'game'.
