Why does he have to be good at everything? I think you take this game too seriously, so it must be really fun.

You sound annoying to be around.

I'd normally agree with you, but the OP indicated a time span of at least six years. You'd think SIX FUCKING YEARS is enough time to learn some rules.

Not always. Sometimes people can be stupidly good at a game even though they barely understand it.
For an example, watch the Game Grumps play poker. Ross was even compared to Mr. Magoo and yet he almost wins.

My gripes aren't that great, its just my friends are annoying in a few ways.
>One friend is constantly running his mouth, and doesn't shut the hell up
>Two friends take fucking 10 minutes to do anything
I've actually started to splinter off and made my own group, which is much better, but I have to drive a good 45-50 mins to play with. Everyone is super chill and just nice to be around.
