Ho Lini,
I'm almost bashful about responding since your post says it all, whether you *kmow* it or not, but let me tell you what comes to my mind when I pretend my life depends on providing an opinion on all that defines games and their playing, not that I've ever found myself in that situation...
I imagaine a child who has seriously hurt himself,
but remains absolutuely stoic about it.
take care,
trouble
> Maybe this is what happens when this board takes on too much significance for people. I mean, I think this whole chat thing is great, but this mind games things has thrown me for a loop. Are mind games being deceptive? Being sarcastic? Are mind games saying you'll tell a story but only one sentence at a time or if a certain condition is met? Are mind games logging in as two different people and then arguing with yourself? Are mind games answering everyone's posts, trying to make friends with everyone and becoming popular/known on the board? Are mind games saying one thing on PB, another thing on PSB and something else on PBA? Telling on people on PBA? Being offended by little remarks? Saying you'll never come back?
