Seriously. How do you deal with losing to people on the internet?

You can't stab them.

You can't kick them.

You can't throttle them.

You can't even get beaten up by them.... At least then i'd be unable to press further action!


What do you do? What is your outlet for internet nerdrage? Is there anything other than crushing the infidels that helps?

What do you do when Satan holds the power, and the infidels and heretics can defeat you in hand-to-hand combat, despite your prayers and oath of allegiance to the Lord?


I mean, I know in RO you can go to the cash shop, and buy a bunch of buff items. That I understand. I have a salary of >70k - which, as far as I can tell is higher than the whole Gravity development budget (at least, based on what we get!). What can I do in a game based solely on skill, where "skill" doesn't include my switchblade, or nice tall glass of draino-and-redbull prepared while the victor wasn't watching?

If yall can't tell, I'm not a graceful loser!



Can we get a version of dominion that requires a remote-operated boxing glove mounted on the top of the screen? That punches you whenever you gain a curse, or whenever the godless infidel trash buys a province with the devil's silver!? At least then, i'd feel like I lost when I lose!

Yes, but what if you're bad?

If you're fighting in the pit to the death, you can, depending on your means, poison them, bribe judges, hire assassins, or buy a -_--ton of camera brushes and a few bottles of concrete cleaner, and go all Andrei Lugovoi on their ass... But I can't afford an entry in Wikipedia under "notable poisoning cases", and I don't think I'm strong enough to murder most people straight up, even if I was facing them in person!

So, if you're too bad to win, and too broke to afford unscrupulous measures (which I prefer to call non-conventional victories) against them, what then? Every inanimate object I can find to break is mine! U_U

Practice. Examine the combinations of cards they used and the ratios of them and understand why they were effective, then turn the tables the next time you see the same combinations. Use their own strategy against them. Curse them so much that they're far into the negatives and absolutely humiliate them the next time you play. /ok

We should play sometime.

If I lose to the other person under the condition that neither of us had an advantage [fair or unfair] then I probably deserved to lose.
There's no point in raging. I just like to go back and try again and again till I learn the opponent's weakness. It's called practice.

When Satan holds the power, and the infidels and heretics can defeat you in hand-to-hand combat, despite your prayers and oath of allegiance to the Lord.


I just calculate whether it is possible to win.
If yes, then I try again.
If not, then alt + f4. No point in trying, is there?

Sounds good to me! Do you live with the cool kids in cambridge/somerville MA, or do we have to play online?

Well yes, I may have deserved to lose. That doesn't make me rage less though!

LMAO, I remember that! That was back when people would sell stuff on RO for real money. Think I heard once that a GTB was worth like 3 grand.

Back on topic... don't get mad, get even.

You could be like mrtyrantar and flame in every common thread with the person who makes you feel inferior, PM them nonstop with combative things to instigate more fights, and report every post they make to admins on two forums to try and get them banned. Bad kids behave like that on the 'net when they can never win.
