Oh , well , since you wrote in call caps I ' m now convinced . <| sep |> I don ' t think billionaires should exist personally , but we definitely shouldn ' t have public servants acting like a private army to protect their profits from the legitimate grievances of ordinary citizens . They don ' t need more money , and people don ' t need to be attacked and lose their constitutional rights to get them more money . <| sep |> First im hearing about ditto . <| sep |> New wheels will cost you 2 x the price of the bike <| sep |> 1 Which do you mostly consider yourself ? Casual ? Competitive ? A bit of both ? Both . I like casual play where people have fun and banter but atrocities are happening on the table the best . Gaming is fun when people play solid , tuned decks and try to win . Just fumbling around doing silly things isn ' t that fun to me . In Rosewater ' s typology of Magic players , I ' d be a tight play Spike social Timmy . 2 What does Casual mean to you ? What does competitive mean to you ? Casual is more of an atmosphere and attitude than a place or a style of deck It ' s sitting around the table with friends to have fun . You can play casually with cutthroat decks perfectly well . Competitive Really trying to win , and doing your darndest at the tournament should you be at one . Throwing excuses to the bin and trying to do the best you can . If you limit yourself somehow eg . you don ' t ever want to play anything but Goblins or just dislike the best decks at the time , own it and don ' t make excuses . Hone your deck , hone your play . Play to win . 3 What kind of beliefs , traits or ideals do you think are shared by casual or competitive players ? Many selfidentified casual players don ' t really want to try or think about the game too much there ' s a mindset that competition stifles selfexpression among some , that you should just do what ' s fun because it ' s fun and throw thoughts of competitive quality to the wind . Often this is an excuse to pilot piles of jank and condemn others when you lose . Other , more admirable people , really live that way and eg . make decks that feel like playing DD for example , with Magic swords and fireballs and whatnot , simply because they ' re on theme . 4 How has casualcompetitive play affected you or others in a positive way ? In a negative way ? Competitive It gives the feeling of really playing , but also somewhat robs you of those silly moments you could have earnestly when you first started . It ' s not that the game has ceased to be fun , but the kind of fun is different . A strict separation between the two has resulted in a lot of annoyance because people divided into two camps inevitably take us vs . them mentalities and start thinking their way of playing is the only correct one .
