Yes.

>Are you a sore loser?
I try not to be, and I'm getting better.

But I do get a bit pissy when I lose epicly. like one time when I still played 40k I went up against Grey knights with my tyranids, I wanna say... 1500 pts (even though I had to dump every upgrade possible to bring MY force to that number) utterly annihilated in 2 turns, he took no casualties whatsoever. I was in a pretty sour mood after that.
>>
>>50438964
To be fair, even if I win monopoly I'm still pissed enough with my family to do that.
>>
Generally no. Unless we're playing "winner tops" variety of the game.
>>
No but I do get salty when someone brings a straight cheese list or a netdeck and believe they made the deck or act like it "business as usual"
>>
>>50439084
Pretty much this, though my bitterness at loss seems to be a toss of the dice in itself. Sometimes, I just laugh it off. Sometimes, I get upset and seethe about it. I don't know what causes one and not the other; it seems random.

I do prefer to "lose well" though; meaning that I'd rather have a close game than a stomp. That goes for winning to, though. I also hate winning when I feel I didn't deserve it.
>>
>>50438964
No, but I get mad at sore winners who show no class when they win or who try to rub it in.
>>
>>50438964
Depends on the way I lost. If it's a long, drawn out battle with both sides going back and forth then no. If I lost from some bullshit method I do get a bit irked.
>>
>>50438964

Sometimes. Mostly in multiplayer games; it's less about losing per se and more I get pissy if I have teammates whom I think (rightly or wrongly) have dragged me down to defeat.

1v1 games that I lose I almost always take well.

Depends on the other players. I had a friend who would pull out ever bullshit rule abuse possible and try his damndest to win even the simplest of board games. Bonus points when he specifically targeted people who didn't fully understand the rules for an advantage.

For me the game is fun and winning is an incidental bonus so when people treat victory as life or death it gets really frustrating.

I don't mind losing (I very often played underpowered factions in games purely for fun/character reasons.

That said certainly when I was younger I could rage pretty hard when hit by a string of bad luck.

When you fail your 5th 2+ or 3+ dice roll with a reroll to do something with your underpowered faction that you've managed to maneuver into a position to potentially draw level (never mind winning) for a little bit, that kind of stuff.

I try my damnedest to win, but I do not get salty when I lose. I only really get annoyed when people aren't gracious in victory. People who begin shouting "Haha you suck" to whoever they win again peeve me.

I get more sore and mad at having bad luck than at losing itself. Incidentally I also get happier when I'm having a great luck, regardless of winning or losing.

I might be somewhat of a gambling addict.

If I'm outplayed or it's really funny that I lose by chance, I'm not sore.

I'm not a sore loser, but people who gloat are the worst and set me off.

I like fun and thematic forces, and as a vast majority of battlegames out there seem to be built to expressly punish a fun or thematic force, you learn to not be a sore loser pretty quickly.

That's what I like about Malifaux, many Masters need a fluffy crew to function well.

Only when someone is a sore winner. I can be slightly upset when I lose, but I make me losing into a thing of amusement. Like "awww dude that's sucks, you suck, why you have to win?" while laughing and smiling.

Then me and whoever I'm playing against talk about how I lost, how they won, what could've been done earlier on which could've tipped the scales in my favour. Compliments are exchanged and discussion about overpowered, underpowered, or tricky cards/units/stats is had

And as always, I joke that the person is a cheating Hebrew.

Obviously, I don't do the last bit with someone I don't know

But yeah, if I get reamed fair and square, I'll be all like "Dude, I need some ice. That asswrecking has me sore as fuck."

I try to be a fair loser, but if a game is very lopsided I can be chuffed about it, though I try to hide it. If a game is close and I lose, that's understandable, but if the outcome is really obvious by turn two I kind of want to concede and start again so as to not waste both our time. I haven't done this yet, but I was wondering is this bad sportsmanship?
>>
How I got rid of sore loser syndrome was to go stock car racing..
I had to learn define success like, finish a race. It took 2 races to do that. Next one was pass a car. Took 2 weeks for that. 3rd was finish in top 20. Then finish on lead lap, then top 10. I got to 3rd place in two seasons of racing.
Failure is really failing to define resonable success.
>>
Sometimes. I get really rules lawery if my defeat is horribly one-sided.
>>
>>50438964
depends on how I lose
If I lose it's because they played better, then no.
In fact I like it when we both have an equal chance to win and I just plain get out played.

but if it's just because I can't roll dice or if they've decide to gang up on me. I can get a bit moody.

Yeah I'm pretty bad. I pretty regularly called my girlfriend a cunt and a bitch when she beat me at MTG (which was very rarely). You might get mad but honestly she was into the game before she met me so it's not like I scared a new player off the game. We aren't dating now but that's got nothing to do with what I called her. But yeah, I also did throw my deck box across the room one time and knocked over a picture frame. Cracked the glass too cause it was shitty.

I also pulled a knife on a friend while we were playing Cards Against Humanity drunk but it was a large group and everyone knew it was just a joke so there was no trouble there

I did lose my temper a couple times after losing at MTG or Catan but that's a story for another time.

Not at losing, but when something bad happens to me during the game when I should have succeeded, I'm sour for a few minutes.

For example, I was pretty mad in my last 40k game that my opponent's Ghost Ark survived me shooting a heavy venom cannon into it every turn, even though we tied the game and I tarpitted and eventually killed his warlord. Those goddamn warriors in the Ark where a pain though. Brought my Hive Tyrant down to one wound and killed most of my gaunts.

only if they cheat to win


outside of an actual prize, what purpose is there in cheating? you didn't win because you were better than the other player so why would you feel good about it?

or when its a total stomp/I get to watch the other player play the game

that is never fun

but if its a seriously close game or I get outsmarted, that shit is fun as fuck
>>
>>50438964
No, but I am extremely spiteful if I gave it my all and I'm still losing
And when that happens I just put everything into my "I'm gonna drag you down with me" mindset

>>
Yes but I dont show it, I also like acting humble (Example: You still have a chance of winning anon, good roll you may still win, Oh that was a bad move anon but I can still lose) when Im on a winning streak to piss off my friends who are sore losers.

I had this in the opposite direction. My friend played Imperial Guard and I played Grey Knights. I didn't have any fliers and such, just Land Raiders and Rhinos. He ran tank killers and just popped my tanks turn one and pie plated everyone.

I fucking hate that shit, I know it's balanced but I have to spend hundreds of dollars to fight against some armies, with things I don't like. It's why we don't play anymore, if I make a fun fluffy fight I get tabled unless Tzeentch decides to grace me with a victory.

>>50439205
Yes, exactly. If I say I'm going to test a new deck and my opponent brings the cheesiest deck ever or goes all out rules lawyering I'm going to be mighty annoyed.

It works the other way around too. I don't have much fun if I just stomp all over my opponent. I like it best when both sides are equals.

He gets like this with everyone, but im his roommate, so we play alot. Its become a joke between me and him, he tries to stay cool, but when things start to go my way he gets much less fun to be around.

>>50438964
Rarely. If it felt like it was a fair game, or if it was over so fast it didn't matter, then no. But if it wastes my time with a game that isn't remotely fair I will sometimes get a tad pissy. The opponents attitude matters a lot too.
Case in point: I played a game of magic recently, I was using a standard deck and he was using a modern deck. He got the perfect opening hand and dropped some creature that gets buffed by spells T2 and T3 buffed it to the point of insanity, 1H-KOing me.Thing is though, the game only lasted 2 minutes and the ending was so sudden and OTT we just laughed about it.
Another day, we were running a 40K campaign. I was slated to fight eldar with my orks. I showed up with a fully painted army with everything wisywig, not too powerful either, I was using a deff dredd and no bikes.
The eldar player showed up with a dark angels army and explained that every single dark angels terminator was an eldar artillery piece, dude was running 9 I think, in a 750pts game. He plonked them at the back of the map and bombarded me from out of LOS. Game lasted 2 turns (but took a fucking hour because of all the blasts), got tabled without killing a single model. Needless to say, I've refused to play him since, and I think that's reasonable.
>>
The worst, and so are my friends. Game nights are so much fun.
>>
>>50438964
Depends on how the winner acts. If they're a shitbag about it, I get real bitter real fast.

But if they're gracious, so am I.
>>
>>50438964

I used to be. Now, I try as hard as possible to not be that guy.

Now, when I lose, I laugh it off, shake the dude's hand, and say how good his play was. Then I'll talk to them and try to figure out where I fucked up. Was it moving this unit up in the first turn? Was it casting that particular spell when I should have casted this? Was it laying a certain card down when I should have saved my mana? It doesn't matter the game; I try to turn every single loss into a learning experience.

By that same token, any time I win, I try to explain my thought process on how I won. I don't rub it in, I don't try and preach to them, I just explain to them what they could have done to win so that in the future they can avoid those mistakes or take those winning moves.

Humility goes a long way towards making other people like you. Whether you win or lose, be friendly and personable, and just enjoy the experience you've shared with the other person. If you can't, then maybe try another hobby, because at that point you're just an insufferable cunt and should kill yourself.
>>
>>50438964
Depends on the situation.
I find it frustrating and fruitless to play a long-ish tactical game with someone, if my chances of winning are fucked from early on. It makes the whole process a very long and slow stomping.

My gf loves backgammon, and I hardly ever play her. She is fairly a lot better than me at it, so she pretty much wins every game, and it just isn't much fun. I know I could probably learn the fucking strategy and put up more of a fight, but I'm not that interested, and she seriously has no issue playing 15+ games in a row.

Similarly, one of my friends fucking loves that "Game of Thrones"-board game, and plays it with people every chance he gets. He plays to WIN when he plays, and wants to play whenever you happen to come over. As a result, he pretty much annihilates anyone he plays with. Losing is one thing, but losing with complete assurance over the span of 2-3 hours is just fucking annoying.
>>
>>50438964
I was. But then I got my first gf, years ago. And I changed.
Intimate relationships foster emotional maturity, as long as they're not toxic.
>>
>>50438964
Yes, but it depends on the situation. Like if I get completly steamrolled or get constantly dicked over by chance(or both at once) I get a bit salty. I try my best to not show it, but I admittedly have no idea if they can tell or not.

Games that has on regular basis left me sore is MtG and Warhammer Fantasy.
>>
I tend to let most games not get to me. I own a casual selection of games for the most part, but even my friends games don't bother me win or lose. I can get salty though over Magic the Gathering. I stopped buying cards 4 years ago for this reason. There's just nothing more frustrating than having a deck I put a lot of thought into and then getting just screwed at the draw.
>>
>>50438964
Generally I don't get upset for losing.

There are exceptions that make me incredibly salty though.
For example I lose due to poor threat assessment by other players, or just straight up bad plays. Like someone killing me in a multiplayer EDH game when I'm the only one stopping another player from comboing out and winning, then he proceeds to do exactly that once I'm out and the player who killed me loses as a result.

Another is when a player is out to get me. Ignores others and just focuses on killing me at the cost of his own game. Doing that on purpose really makes me pissed off.

Basically, I just get really upset when people aren't playing to maximize their probability to win, but do "whacky lulsorandom" shit just to ruin for people, ignoring the primary objective of the game.
>>
Very rarely, when I get supremely luckfucked. I can take losing a good, fair game, I can take being beaten by someone better than me, but when I'm just having shit rolls or draws I get pissed.

No, you don't win the game for having the most fun. The objective of the game itself is (usually) to win.

The REASON people play the game is to have fun. Usually, ignoring the objective of the game diminishes that.
>>
>>50438964
In RPGs I GM pretty much exclusively, so I don't win or lose.

In board games I'm pretty detached. My bad habit is more to analyze other peoples' decisions out loud during play. I try to be aware and rein it in, but don't always manage.

In CCGs there are types of losses that feel fun and types of losses that feel shit. Namely being worn down, constantly denied, or some combos. In other games it's not fun to win or lose if there's a clear winner from like turn two through the end of a half hour game.

>>50443221
Depends highly on the other player. Also I think it's better sportsmanship for the losing player to concede than for the winning player to call for concession.
>>
>>50438964
It depends, if I lose terribly because of really bad luck or because the other player is significantly better than me it's frustrating and not any fun.
Losing because the other player played better or had better luck isn't a problem if the game is at least close, it keeps it fun because it could go either way

Only when it's a result of politics and king making.

If feels a bit annoying to have successfully played a better game, but you're outnumbered so you lose anyways.
>>
>>50454338
If you want to play the most tuned efficient decks possible go play with other people who want to play that way, and leave the people who like their shitty tribal/theme decks alone. This is why tryhards have a bad name. If your friends don't want to play hyper competitive games, don't bring those decks when you play with them. This will eventually destroy your group. Trust me

>>50443221
I always thought it was reasonable - if the outcome of the game has already been decided, there's not much point in going through the motions. But a lot of people get very upset by that. They want to win, not just get a forfeit. So unless the other player's OK with forfeits, just go through the motions.
>>
>>50453487
This. I'm fine if I lose and it feels like a fair loss - they made better choices, they outsmarted me, they tricked me, or so on. But I get really sore losery when I lose because I got a bunch of shitty draws in a row, or can't roll anything I need, or some similar thing happens where it's clear I'm just fate's bitch today.

I love to lose by being outwit and lose graciously, however there is one thing that makes me furious to no end. Incoming long post
King makers.
This very thing nearly tore apart me and my other 3 friends of 4+ years over one game of Catan. It went something along the lines of:
>playing game of Catan with 3 other friends. I have about 30 games under my belt, Player B has about 10 games worth of exp, and Player C and D have about 5 games of Exp.
>About 30% through our game, Player C wants to trade with Player B for a resource he really needs.
>Player B fuckthatshit.jpg
>game proceeds, Player C pretty salty he couldn't get his resource, when he couldn't understand that Player B didn't want to enable him closer to victory through that specific trade deal
>About 40% through the game Player C and D basically start trading, with a pretty big lop side toward Player C
>Game is about 70 % done, I'm doing mediocre, Player B is doing amazing, good map control and rolls in his favor, Player D has about 4 victory points and at this point is a living factory for Player C for niche resources he doesn't have. Player C is just a little behind Player B due to his constant supply of resources from unbalance deals with D
>And player D is not being Jewed, he is fully aware of his trade deals
>All the while theif is specifically targeting me from player C and D, because i have a brick port and two cities on a 8 brick, even though I'm at 6 victory points

>Player C is also very close to winning (who I forgot to mention is win or die trying, plus a sore loser)
>Player C and Player D make a trade deal, ( my memory serves me wrong between the two) where Player D traded like 8 cards for one throwaway card from Player C, or it was basically a hand swap for only the materials Player C needed to win.
>Me and Player B (who is honestly such a great sociable guy) start laughing at what was assumed a joke
>notajoke.gif
>Me and player B are taken aback at this, Player D and C go full Rulelawyer nazi about trading saying how it's legal. (never played after this, but for damn sure there would be pre-established house rules on this if there ever were future games)
>at the time I didn't know what king making was, but I was having pretty bad secondhand anger at the events unfolding
>Player B was fucking PISSED, but didn't show it
>Player C and D justify the trade arguing: "this is part of the game, if you didn't want this to happen, you should have traded with me. this is just a result of you for playing a certain way."
>Player C and D smuggest shit in the world at this point, while Player B is vocally upset that this is unfolding, and I am upset this is happening to Player B.
>Player C and D, over the years, don't like to be proven wrong, so player B (and me) just lets it go
>Player C is 1 point away from wining at the end of his turn, visibly disgruntled
>I say "even cheating you fell short huh?"
>C says "it's not cheating, its part of the game. Me and Player D did a mutually beneficial trade to help each other technically."

>I let it go
>Player B's turn comes around, wins as soon as the dice is rolled
>pretty quiet fro about 10 mins in the discord call, even though the elephant is in the room, we just talked about idle things
>Player C says innocently "I feel like me and Player B's friendship got a little rubbed towards the end."
>Player B says "yes, it did."
>Player C justifies his action by the rules, saying its a consequence of becoming trade enemies with him
>Youdoneitnow.jpg
>Player B says the entire action was immoral and against the nature of the game, for player D to throw away his win so someone else can win.
>Player D says "I would have rather had C won over B (this was on a personal level)"
>More banter ensues, i back up B saying it was immoral to king maker
>Player D and C EXTREMELY upset about this, mudslinging at this point
>We all go to bed upset
>I message B saying don't get to bent out of shape about it
>Says he's fine, but won't be playing Catan with C again.
>basically can't play catan anymore, because we only have 3 people, and frankly, I didn't want to play because they did the exact same thing the one time we did play with 3 people.

We sorta forgot about it and rekindled, but to this day Player C and D never apologized for it, even after reflecting on it. Sorry for blog, shit's the saltiest it ever made me in a board game. Never group played Catan after that.

No.
Jesus Christ are you all children? Did you have fun playing? Don't you want others to be happy and have fun? What level of emotional immaturity do you have to be at to be upset about losing a game?

Has life just not dealt you any other blows yet?
Are you all actually man children ? Cause I thought that was a meme....

This thread is just sad.

I try not to be a sore loser, but sometimes I let my emotions get the better of me. It happens to everyone. I'm just hyper- competitive. When I play a game, I aim to win, but when I lose, I get really angry. Mostly at myself for not being good enough to win. I use that anger to fuel my drive, my need to get better at whatever I'm doing.

I told a story last week about punching my friend in the face because I lost a board game. Because of this, I refuse to play board games (unless it's a collaborative/ cooperative game).

Actually, playing Dark Souls has helped immensely. I know I will lose, it's just a matter of when, so i can mentally prepare myself.

I'm getting much better.

Only when the winner is acting like a smug cunt

That's what you get for playing a list-based game.

monopoly is a shitty game and I'm glad in my childhood they were all interrupted by the family dog shoving the board over and demanding petting

>>50438964
I used to be a sore loser when I was a kid but then I grew a spine and self confidence. Currently I'd say I'm an alright GM but a bad player, not overtly disruptive but tend to quietly rail against any overt railroading or lazy GMing before crashing the game usually by convincing the group to attack DMPCs or go through with really stupid ideas. I should really talk to the GM about my concerns or just drop out but there is a sick sense of fun leaving someone completely unprepared for what to do next.

Depends on how i am loosing.

If the other guy is making no mistakes and taking full advantage of all of mine i try to take metal notes to make myself a better player.

If i have rolled double 1's for the 347th time this game... yeah i get a little pissy about it.

I like playing games with the best players i can find so i can become better at them myself.

Cant even count the times i have lost games of chess at the park from a range of little kids to old farts that can barely walk. but i still like to play. and the old guy i like to play vs the most has never lost to me.

>>50438964
depends on the game and how I lost
If I get outplayed or unlucky, I can deal with it, but cheese makes me upset
>>
>>50438964
Not really. I play tabletop games as intensely as I play any game, studying the system and trying to get really good at it.

However, I tend to only play with friends as I am a fucking autistic sperg around strangers so if I play bad at a board game or RPG i'll get a little frustrated but laugh it off. Its much easier than at a hobby shop with some faggot staring at my mistakes.

I flat out refuse to play Catan with my in laws anymore.

I won a lot when we first started because i played the game before and am decent enough at it.

But when 3-5 other players openly talk about where to build roads and settlements to fuck me over.... yeah fuck you guys. and god forbid one of them rolls a 7.

It could be late game and im sitting at 4 points they will STILL put the robber on whatever resource i need at the time and totaly ignore the guy sitting 1 point away from the win who needs 1 more stone to upgrade to a city.

>>50438964
Very. I think all of my group is.

I'm the absolute worst at competitive games but am ok when it's co-op. The rest of my group all gets super butthurt when something doesn't go their way in pen and paper but are otherwise chill.
>>
>>50438964
Not at all. I don't care if I've lost, as long as it was fun, I mostly just get annoyed if the game was boring.
>>
>>50438964
I complain a lot, but I never hold it against someone.
A game is game, someone wins, everyone else loses.
