Yeah and it was like that in e-wrestling for me way back in the day or in real life - a title defense = much harder to accomplish or multiple ones vs. winning the title. You have to match intensity level or you'll get steam rolled. Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson. Majority of my being talkative on threads is to hype myself up for the next game; particularly if I know the GM has a blood lust to take me down.

I'm pretty simple in how I approach it. I'd much rather take a Title Game "L" to a competitive, respectful Warthog than a crier who hit the board and chirped at me. I'd kick titles at a GM who respects me but someone who ran at the mouth at me - I go defcon like you noted and get the Pac playlist going. :)

I don't need to win like I did, though. I've won enough to silence peep, therefore, it's a little less pressure.

Man, f*** the sim with that loss from 2 games ago. I can't believe leading with the FB Dive to mash their battered d-line put me in a bad spot and a tail spin from it. I learned, though. Pretty much if you utilize the FB Dive or FL Hitch to mash at an opponent from out the gate - it signals the engine and game long jobs ya. Tried to regain pedigree and took 2 long length injuries.

Legit loss here, 2 games ago was bs - no un-submitted game plan from an AWOL GM can beat me.

Good game Florida, best of luck the rest of the season

GG slick, thanks for the whooping again haha.

Think I remember reading that GDB mentored you. I can see the difference. My power shot got played differently than from the past you. Good game!

Oh and I mean this the deepest way possible: f*** the injuries. Particularly, the game over in D & D I'm starting to think JDB has peered in to DAM up/blockade my until now steam rolling moves.

GG Pittsburgh

GG CJ. Ugly 4.6 style game to watch
