The funny thing is it actually worked for the party. See even now your closemindedmess hampers your true ability.
I was refering to your analogy still, not the specific example. If you checked general forum section you would see I recently made a thread about blm/pld and brd/pld. However, I did not try to justify it just by saying its different. I gave reasons based on abilities, traits, and spells. Your analogy fails because it does not relate to fps games.

Yes winning is fun. Granted the win is more appealing when you had to work harder to get it, but anyone who says, "hey we lost but wasn't that fun" is an idiot. I've said it a few times, in certain circumstances, but mainly because I never had a win under my belt to compare it to. The best thing that can ever come from a loss is knowledge.
So the entire time you are playing, the game is not fun until after you win? What about games like Planetside? It goes back and forth forever without there ever being an end or winner. It is the challenge that is fun. If winning was all that mattered you would cheat or search out the most one sided games possible. However, both of those are extremely boring. Why are they boring? Because there is no challenge. The challenge creates the fun regardless of who wins. At the last lan we had a cod2 ctf match come down to 4 and 4 caps (5 wins). They barely scrapped out the last cap and won. Regardless, I had fun during that entire match because I wasn't psyche and couldn't predict we would lose.
Now stop confusing clan matches and casual play. Clan matches are all about the win and improving your e-penis. Clan matches have nothing to do with fun too often (why I don't do clan games much anymore). Casual play is all about having fun. That is the only purpose.

Personally though I don't cheat. A win isn't a win if you had to cheat to get it.
How so? You said to win by any means possible. If all that matters is winning and that is the
only factor that determines whether something is fun, there is no reason for you to not cheat...unless...there is something else that determines fun besides just winning.

If that is what you call tearing into something then damn, just leave, cause if your flaming skills equate over to your FPS skills then the people you played to get your wins in lan sucked.
Please, stop with the flawed analogies. How can you possibly relate my fps gameplay to my discussion I'm having with you? Just stop making analogies.
