I know ...
That this is gonna be the number 5,000+ thread on "meter stuck" ...
That WGT isn't, or can't, or don't want to do anything about it ...
That some other fellow players are simply gonna say : "clean your cache, update your flash or change browser", while other players will simply criticize me or the thread, assuming that this is another childish nonsense complaint ... just wait and see ...
Anyway, here's my side ... grab a beer and read :
I was playing an alt game. On 8th hole we are 2 up. I shoot, get "metered" and water hazard receives my US$1.5 taxes with the virtual shape of a nickey. Not only we lost the hole and the ball, but I lost control, since one loses the cool trying to compensate after something like that. We are still 1 up on 9th. Despite my effort, which I shouldn't have, I perform very poorly from the tee and my ball ends in rough 30%-40%. My partner makes a nice on and my putt misses the cup for 2 inches. We are even and go for an extra hole. The other team makes a brilliant 2nd shot from 130 yards that ended in eagle ... nothing more than congratulations for such recovery and GREAT FINAL "ESTOCADA" to the "dying bull". Congratulations for such astonishing win !
I don't have any problems at losing when I and I only lose (without an extra push by WGT that is). My disappointment is that in a multi-game, a severe deviation like getting "metered" distorts completely the game, and no matter how mature and well educated one can be, having a strong and well structured character might not solve completely one's issues with a poisoned game and even the best ones can't recover from disappointment. Only door left : Take it quietly, nothing can be done anyway :(
So, that's my story Your Honor. My defense rests sitting on the electric chair ... You can pull the switch now ...
