I think if a few people got the board gamer mentality they would enjoy their civ more.

Agreed AH, (geeze, not again

I'm pleased to see so many ex-board game enthusiasts.
I think it makes a big difference.

I still play boardgames with my kids, when I get sick of them using my computer

D&D type games were helped even more, but you sacrificed the more obscure options. Like the first time a player claimed he was touching the trolls chest and invoking a close portal spell to close a heart valve in the troll. The computer could never handle such inventiveness.

In my attempt I think the DM gave me a 5% shot reduced to 2% since trolls were magic resistant. Needless to say, the troll survived and I didn't.
It was nice having a twin. AH heaven. (it was easy to leave games set up for multiple sessions) But when I went away to school, I never had problems finding local game clubs with many die hard players. And they almost never QUIT. They weren't afraid to lose. There's always something to be learned, even in losing.

You can learn in losing. I do it all the time.
But the "gamer's mentality" that we are talking about comes down to being a good sport. Don't complain (too much), don't berate, and toot your own horn at the risk of not playing with the tootee again. Or getting smashed over the head with whatever's available.
I would love to have some of the people who beat me in AOK or Civ come into my living room and talk sh!t to me.
Yes, the internet gaming community is for those meek of heart but big of mouth.Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks...Comment
