.3rdbase. had some very strong words last night about my playing manner and strategy. And the reason I bring this to the forums is because many of the players here play like I do and the same has been going on for years here now.

Basically, Base implied that the game couldn't be fun for me since I have "memorized" the word list and was getting too many guesses correctly. "3 out of 5" was her claim.

I think we all understand her point of view. When you're going for a top 10 placement, like many of us have, we all understand that you have to pick your game up and get many points, or even as many as possible in given situations. And sometimes, I get the feeling I'm hogging points. She labeled me as inconsiderate to the other players who have not been exposed to the word list as much.

We were playing at the 0 table of course, since nobody was playing at the 1500 table. I would have preferred that, but nobody really brought it up or wanted to go. I told her that I understood her claims. Acid backed it up as well that players should have to earn their metals..which they should. I asked her for suggestions..probably sarcastically since I knew there probably wasn't a solution to this problem. She said she knew there were no alternatives but continued to rant on and on.

We get it...the veterans know the ins and outs of this game and it is unfair. However, that didn't really seem to affect JonSolo, NikitaLang, and DVader213...or Mjed, blulyt, lilmissmouse, and Richard from last month. They all turned up Top 25 or are looking strong for top 25. So basically, there is a solution to this problem:
If the veterans are hogging the points...stop them. Guess better. Learn the game. Play some more. Figure it out. Because nobody on this website is going to let anybody in a 3k score position run this site any differently.

Put this into perspective of a real competition...if the front runners are working hard to be the front runners, are you gonna go up to them and simply ask that they lay off?

If anybody wants to contribute to this forum, feel free. Maybe we'll get some clever responses in creative form, some post about me being mean, people who agree, people who dont, suggestions, etc.
