 Post subject: The First Law of PBEM
PostPosted: Wed Jan 04, 2006 10:31 pm 
1. When my opponents are winning, they return files quickly so to increase my frustration.
2. When my opponents are losing, they return files slowly so to increase my frustration.
3. I do the same to my opponents to reduce my frustration, thus increasing theirs.
=================
PBEM is really about fighting frustration! [:0]

Actually, sir, the whole purpose of this club is to increase your frustration. At least, that's why I joined...

Sirs
in these cases I wait a year and if I don´t receive news of my opponent (I send a courier first) talk with Geert to delete the register of this battle and in my particular case the opponent of my life. Exception: when they let me known something that avoid that they would play with me.

Both players play fast in the hope that the other one will become frustrated.

So in any case the winner is frustrated and the loser too. In other words everyone loses? [?]

Sean,
I thought the whole purpose of golf was to increase frustration.
