I apologize, unreservedly
Kei: If you're a heel then I'm a ... very moldy sole! *hugs* Just remember that you've kicked my butt pretty blue more than a couple of times, ok? :-*
Shin: Actually ... you didn't :o It was more of a "bring it on" vibe over it, which made me happy, heh.
So basically my mom told me before I posted the last entry that when she relayed information to my younger sister about how I got a bit miffed about her paying more attention to the tv while playing Literati with me some nights back, she (wrongfully) thought I'd meant she was being slow. She said the tv didn't distract her from the game, but that she was incerdibly slow compared to me - the Literati Champ - and how great I was at it .... then she began to cry.
Granted, she's not been feeling too upbeat but I made her cry for goodness sake. It made me feel more rotten than when we were younger and I actually did my best to be mean to her. Her speed had nothing to do with the matter.
The reaction hit home. When you add to that that people are, more often then not, saying how I'm this Mean Literati Machine ... also taking into account that my sensitivity levels are out of whack (lack of tears whithstanding) .... I just feel really bad for being good at something I enjoy so much.
And I do love playing that game, regardless of whether I win or lose. Sometimes it even brings me more joy to be kicked to the curb, lol. Sara has whooped my ass plenty of times (her Queen of Literati title is still intact), as has Kei, Shin and Alex. I'm sure that anyone who's played me (for a longer period of time) has beaten me at least once. When I was first introduced to the game, I sucked. Royally.
I'm sorry if I hurt anyone by putting it out there, both the sadness of being viewed as some mighty and powerful God (/Alladin) and enjoying being one (:p), but it doesn't feel too good to believe you're discouraging people to play a game. Is this what people go through when they create RPG's and people say they're not good enough to even play with the idea to sign up? |
