I want to enjoy the game, but I want everyone else to enjoy it to, I'm just as likely to cheer something well done by the other side as I am to cheer for something on my side…

When gaming my German-Swiss side takes over; which is just as well because if it was my Ukrainian/Cossack side I would probably flip the table over and stomp on the other guy's minis

Thinking back, I can't ever remember being offended by a gamer for being too emotional min a game that I was playing. I've seen guys celebrate success, but never actually had anyone be a bad sport about it.

Usually I'm cheering on my opponent as (s)he slaughters me!

It's all about the trash-talk. We give victory points for especially witty, caustic remarks.

Yes … but you have to be engaged … be a little animated … so everyone can enjoy the event. Phil

I can get caught up in the fun and excitement of the conflict laid out before me. But I don't just cheer my own side. When an opponent does something brilliant, or one of his units manages to pull off an incredible die roll, I praise my enemy and his troops for their heroic actions.

I play to win, but I don't care who is winning. Anytime something geys routed, destroyed, banished, or whatever, I get very excited regardless of which side it happened to. Medicarion, caffeine, or alcohol can increase this effect.
