The Barbarians! / The Impress-Girl-Ritual cheat!

I'm sure you're all (guys, at least) familiar with this situation: You're doing good at something, and the girls are impressed. You feel like you're on the top of the world. They can sent everything against you, it cannot hurt you. You're on a roll.

Yeah, its a little secret. When girls are around, guys needs to impress them. I'm not sure why, and its sure isn't always a good idea, but that's what guys do. Girls/woman give birth, and that is something we cannot compare to. So we spend our days to impress them - when we can.

And sometimes we make mistakes. I know its hard to believe, but we actually do that. Impressing girls and making a mistake does not mix, so we look like fools (yep, that's our secret backup plan). So, the flow is basically: try to impress, add mistake, and voila, you lost. Game over.

The Barbarians knows this far too well.

We were are, in a typical matching situation. BZI (me. SportChick) vs BAR (Kierra, QDot) and audience (with more girls).

We start, we play. I try to impress them girls, as the guy I am. And we're doing good. Actually, we're wining. 3-1 and plenty of time left.

And then it happens. They remove a girl, kierra, which is a blow towards my impress-girl-ritual.. And then, the lethal move, they add... mistake.

Its over. I cant help it. Game over is already flashing on my screen. Even my BZFlag knows its impossible to get out of this with my pride intact. I look something like a chicken in a lion suit inside my tank, which isn't exactly the macho look i wanted, and I'm fairly sure that only a small niche on the internet that finds this attracting. And the scores slowly adjusts. We lose. 5-4.

Nevertheless, however unfair that move was, the match was fun.

But I cannot help to ask. Why didn't this influence BAR. Either the praticed this a lot to be immune to the impress-girl-ritual. Or.. they are not men. And, as a guy, doing impress-girl-rituals, I can assure you, they are not female either. So what are they? And is that cheating?

Facts:
2006-08-15 23:36:17 The Barbarians vs. Bz-Incorporated (5:4) 30m
BZI: Me, SportChick
BAR: QDot, Kierra/Mistake

We played good. But mistake/qdot is a good combination and was hard to fight against. However it was fun. Until 5 mins before end, we did pretty well. However they got a 4-4 score and was close at getting the 5th. It seems that made us (both) lose our focus, which probably made it a bit easier to get the last one. But that is what happens.

I agree man, that girl switch mistake is a very bad cheat! im horrified that such a respectable team as BaR would stoop so low as to pull such a terrible cheat! I saw we match them till their arms fall off!

as for the bar men being imune, i have several ideas... one, they arent really human, but AI's developed by chestal (/me thinks of 0tto and his mate), or that they are all so old that they are physically immune to women! i personally think its a nonlinear combination of both of these states. on one side we have meno, alex and QD ;) and on the other we have mistake, mur, and capn.

The funny thing for me was that I didn't even notice that mistake had subbed kierra for several minutes. I kept seeing Solarisis say "Go mistake!" and assumed he was joking around. I'd say except for the girl/guy thing, perhaps mistake and kierra are interchangable.

It would seem to me that [dmp] made a typical guy error: trying to impress the wrong girls. Its all about [suave] my dear man!
But feel free to make the same focus mistake again when you play BaR. I, for one, don't mind the results if BaR wins.

-willing to endure [dmp]'s antics in taking one for the team. :)
