    There is nothing wrong with one’s longing for victory.  Our entire neuronal system receives a big reward full of delicious dopamine when we win a game, and it sure feels good.  But besides that rush of personal glorification, is there anything more valuable one can earn out of playing a game (unprofessionally) than learning new skills, sharing good manners, fellowship and good vibes ? 

    Being a Legend today, I enjoy playing with any tier, as long as they understand that I really don’t care about defeating anyone.  I love to play with others and not against others.  So, despite your tier, if you ever get the chance to play with anyone with a higher rank than yours, just commit yourself to : 

    1. Finish the game, specially if you are the host.

    2. Be nice in the chat if you are the talkie type.

    3. Celebrate others’ good performance; that builds good character.

    4. Be humble in your small victories.

    5. Be considerate in the use of time.

    6. Clean your mind from scores.

    7. And try to be simply nice

    If you like to make a good impression, better stop thinking that only by winning games you will, because respect and admiration are always preceded by one’s common sense, character and consistent good behavior, way more than any meaningless victory. 

    May everyone find the finest way to play with others.

    Great post Q. I tried several times last night to get an AS going. Had no luck with TM or higher. Tried Master and up, set on one game until it timed out with one master after another dropping as soon as they saw a Legend. If they only knew. Finally got a game with 3 masters and went to extra holes, I lost the game due to a couple bad shots. These guys were not baggers or multi's, we all played well and had a good time, they asked for advice and were very pleasant. This is what the game is all about.

    Agree. We all felt that.  I am still trying to figure out champion greens as well. Anyway, we have to encourage ourselves to go for more.  Come on WGT do your worst !

    I have never shied away from playing with upper tiers.  They have rarely been rude.  I have learned more about this game by playing with Master, TM's, and Legends than I ever could have by playing with myself (minds out of gutters).

    I look to play with tiers that aren't as far along as I am now with the intention of giving back.....if they ask.

    .....but I always try and win.  I'm here for the social aspect of the game.  I enjoy any good round, even if I get beat.  But, I'm trying to win.

    But, another thing that is NOT coincidence.....I get more friend requests when I get my clock cleaned than when I do the beating.

    Another top-notch post, Q.
