I already told some people on kau this but I figured I'd post it here as well in case anyone had some advice.
Basically I feel like I'm the wrong kind of person to be playing audition. I used to be veryyyyy competitive and I've chilled out a lot, but when I play with super-competitive people (and it seems like most people who play this game are) it all comes back and I find myself getting caught up in it and I don't want to be like that. What's always bothered me is how everyone throws around the word "fail" like it's nothing and how everyone is always "OMG MUST WIN I NINJAED YOU HAHAHAHAHA."
yeah i know it's just jokes and stuff in some cases but the more i'm around that the more i become that way and i'd rather not, i just want to play for fun and hang out with the friends i've made on audition without becoming all competitive.
sooo my question to you good people who are reading this is, what do you think i should do to avoid getting caught up in the competitiveness? because right now i'm just considering going cold turkey and deleting every audition version i have installed.
I feel as though I'm somewhat at fault in ur dilemma, since I got u caught up in doing the competition servers, and getting u more competitive in trying to become better, but maybe that's just not it.
I've been in ur shoes, believe me, and yes I do apologize for acting the way I do sometimes, and I don't mean to put that kind of competitive image against my name, but that's just when it comes to OTHER competitive people being in that same room. The other thing is probably the longer you play, the more competitive you become against other "good" people like yourself.
I guess what I'm trying to say is try not to get urself too caught up with those kind of people. The game IS fun and its fun to play with others, but when they "MUST WIN" it'll start getting to ur head saying "RAWR STUPID PERSON MUST NOT WIN!" I can tell u, the only reason that I EVER say "fail" is NOT because "rawr I'm not gonna win" it's because I missed a move that was probably too easy, or I almost hit a fm by 1 arrow. U notice that I'm NEVER out to be 1st, or the best, or anything, That GN's been LOONNNGGG gone since gAU's death. There are times, like today sort of, that he peeks his head, and the moment something was said, I just stfo and not said a single word. I don't want u to quit, but I don't want u to be the best either, cuz someone else who's better than u says they fail. Just go and play, whatever the outcome, that's how it stands.
My own personal quote to this sort of thing "No matter how hard you try, your NOT the "best", because there's ALWAYS someone WAYYY better than you"
Find the few that play for fun and that are not competitive. 90% of the people I play with could careless if they lost. Theres always the little rivalry factor where its like I have to beat him or her to prove I have a bigger p3n15 in real-life because I'm better at audition. If you don't want to play with those type of people then the only advice I can give you is leave and find different people to play with.

ahh! please don't feel at fault, i'm really not trying to assign blame to anyone because no matter what, how i feel and my actions are solely my responsibility - it would be silly and immature to blame any of you. and i really, truly don't blame you for anything.
i know you're not out to win, i'm not either, i could care less if i win or not. but like you said, i feel someone inside me coming out and i don't like her and don't want her to be there because she's nasty and too competitive.
sooooo. i won't quit kau and i'll beat the nasty competitive part of myself down so she won't ever rear her ugly little head again xD
oh and hotshot thank you for the advice also and i will try that. you both have such good advice, so awesome xD

Ahh...I've been feeling that way for awhile, i just hid it cause i didn't know if the feeling would go away or not. lol.
sad to say, im prolly one of those people xD Altho i onli say "fail" or rather "phail"(dun ask why, i just do that) when i miss the dumbest things...other than that, i could care less what lvl i am, if im pro or not, or even if im winning or not. I just play for the sake of playing the game! and making friends of course ^^ And as for the competitive part, i've been pretty competitive ever since i started audition, but that me's been gone since...gau died, like GN. The onli thing i ever do nowadays is check how well i can do, and of course how well others can do, but there ARE times where if im pissed, my competitive side will go all out lol. So Steph, if u wanna suppress your competitive self, avoid playing with random people (and me if im in a bad mood lol xP), and try to stick to playing with friends. Thats the best and maybe even onli solution. And its too soon for u 2 quit D:

yeah but the thing is...i don't wanna have a list of people i have to avoid, i'd rather just have fun and play with whoever xD
that's why i have to...improve myself, i guess, so i don't feel that way anymore xD
like it matters right i mean people play it when there bored to have fun or competiveitnessness

I wouldn't be posting about it if it didn't matter to me :lol:
Everyone is ike that.
Weak players,you will be compititive.
Good players,you will be non-compititive.
Nothing more.
now thats where ur wrong Harpe, good players can be competitive too. If there wasnt any competition, why play? Playing for fun onli goes so far ya no XP
I think everyone has a different motive/reason for play regardless of how skilled you are. I don't think it's fair to say that all "good" players do one thing and all "not so good" players do another.. everyone is their own individual and that's it.
And Steph~ *hugs* it's ok I understand what you mean. Usually when I feel the way you do, I just take a break. If I find I'm in a room that's super competitive and sucking the fun out of the game, I just leave, take a break, do something else, then come back. No point in playing if I'm "forcing" myself to play. I don't think the competitiveness alone would make me want to quit. Other things would though.. ^^;;
Go play with Korean people that can't talk english xD. just kidding.
Maybe try to ignore the chatbox?
Still, it is a game -against others-, So actually it's not weird.
Everyone's competitive, but damn, after a while, you just save it up for your friends >D
