  1. It is sometimes very important for me to win. Sometimes, like if I'm just playing a board game with my family, I don't care if I lose. But sometimes I'm competitive. Like, if I could win a gold medal in the Olympics I would be mad if I lost. The last time I cheated to win a game is never. I don't like to cheat because, I think, it shows people that you don't want to lose so badly that you're willing to cheat just to win.

  2. I don't really care, who wins or looses because to me it's just a game, and its just for fun. I have cheated before, but I just don't remember when, or what game. When I play a game, weather its soccer, football, kickball, or baseball I'm just playing for fun. Of course it's always nice to win, but i like to focus more on teamwork and good sportsmanship.

  3. I don't care who wins or loses. I just want to enjoy the game. I don't even remember a game that I cheated at to win. I usually play Yahtzee or Uno. I like it better when I win though. A person's character is not judged on how many wins they have it is how they handle their losses.

  4. My opinion of cheaters is that they need to take a chill pill. If you are competing in the Olympics, yes it's important to win but if your just playing a board game it shouldn't matter who wins. I personally do like to win like you feel good when you win but if you loose don't be a bad sport about it. If your competing in a sports game, you're going to get competitive but if you loose don't freak out just congragulate the other team.

  5. To win for me is like winning a fight with my brother. It is important to me. It proves that I am right and will always be because I am older and have been in school longer. The last time I cheated in a game was when I was playing war with my brother. I had changed the card out for an ace in his deck when I won a war and he went to the bathroom. I ended up winning but I didnt feel great about it.

  6. Winning is very important to me in a sports game. In a board game I say what the heck when I lose but if I win in a board game I am very happy but I wouldn't care if I did lose. If I play a sports game my team and I are very competitive and scream when we win. If we lose we get very mad. But we did get first in the tournament on Saturday out of all the 12's teams! I don't remmeber when I cheated last on a game. I always sneak a peek at the other persons cards in a card game though. I really shouldn't but they turn their cards around so you see them. it's not my fault, they are forcing me to read their cards when they turn them my way but i'm trying to stop.:)

  10. I don't care if I win or lose, it's just a game. But I do love to lose, I don't know why??? I'm not that competitive in games, I don't think so. The one thing I'm competitive about is ice skating competitions. It doesn't if you win or lose, you should do it for the love of the game. Thats why I don't care if I win or lose.

  11. To me, I don't care who wins. I just like to play for fun, especially sports or board games. If it is a board game, I don't care if I win, but in a soccer game I like to win. Its always makes you feel good if you win, (unless you cheated) but you shouldn't cheat because then it makes you seem so desperate to win. I don't remember if I have ever cheated, but if I did, I probably felt bad after the game. If I am just playing with my brothers or my sister, I don't care who wins.

  12. It can be very important to me to win sometimes, but other times it really does not matter to me who wins or who loses. I like to win more than I like to lose, but that does not mean I am a bad sport when I do lose. For example, in a game like in P.E. I don't really care who wins and who loses. So although I don't care in P.E., I wouldn't want someone to cheat at the game. On the other hand, like a few people already said, if I were in the Olympics or something of the sort, I would be extremely competitive because almost the whole world would be depending on certain people and your country would be depending on you to represent them well. Furthermore, in basketball am competitive sometimes because the other team might not be the nicest or in soccer when we have the big tournaments I get competitive because you can get first place out of about fifteen or twenty teams (it seems like there is a hundred though) and once you win first place in the tournament a magnificent sentiment came upon me (achieving second place is also an enormous accomplishment, but first is the best in my opinion). As I said before, in P.E. or in a bored game, winning and losing doesn't really matter to me, but if I were in the Olympics or in a really big tournament than I would care if I won or lost. If I won the tournament than I would be tremendously pleased, but if I lost the tournament than I would be delighted for the other team because they won, but I would be awfully poignant that my team lost. Lastly, if I have ever cheated in a game before, I don't remember witch game and I don't know how I cheated, but I bet that after I cheated I felt bad and it wasn't as fun of game anymore also I must have learned my lesson if I did cheat because I don't cheat. I agree with Brian; A person's character is not judged on how many wins they have it is how they handle their losses. That is what I think about winning and losing it doesn't matter, it is just a game.

  13. I don't care if I win. I don't remember if I cheated in a game. But, I do care if I win in a sport such as soccer because when I played soccer it felt good to win and it also made my team more confident for the next game. Also, it only feels good to win if you didn't cheat. As you can see, playing a game is just for the experience and the fun!

  14. The only game I care about if I win or lose is chess. It may be just a boardgame, but, for me, there's a first place trophy on the line! I get especially competitive in national tournaments and states tournaments. I may be competitive, but I NEVER cheat. Once or twice, (not very often), I am in a losing position or I'm down on peices. Sometimes, my opponent goes to the bathroom and I can easily cheat and get away with it (if my opponent doesn't notice anything) but i don't even THINK of cheating. I know I've cheated once or twice on non-competitive games but I don't know what game or when because the last time I've cheated was a long time ago. Chess can be a VERY FRUSTRATING GAME if you lose a touph or important game that would cost you to get a lower place trophy. Also, if you lose or blunder against a lower rated player it can be frustrating. I've heard from a coach that in a chess game that would decide who would claim the title, the losing master flung the winner out a window and killed HIM!

  15. I dont care if i win. Like a few other people said if it was the olympics then yeah,I would be working my butt off. But other then that I don't care. I like it sometimes when I when because you feel good about yourself,but when you cheat you should feel terrible because you didn't win the other person did.When you play basketball or football or something like that and you loose you should be a good sport and congragulate the other team for doing a good job.BUT if they try to rub it in your face dont congragulate them because of THEIR lack of sprtsmanship.[There momma must of not tought them right!]

  16. It doesn't matter if I win or lose. There are some games where I would care if I won or not. One example of that kind of game would be chess. The only time I cheated was when I was first learning the game. I can't afford to lose a chess tournament. I don't like cheating. I feel a sudden surge of guilt when I cheat. But sportsmanship is the big cheese.

  17. It is very important for me to win. Unless it is to make someone happy. Also I can be very competitive in baseball. I don't really care if I win at school because we make wierd calls in kickball. That is why it is important and not importantto me.

  20. I really care to win but losing you have to have the same amount of spormanship when you lose.
    i also don't care if I win if I'm vs a good team like for baseball. Also the last time I cheated was when were playing monopoly I took off one of my sisiters hotels off. But i seriously don't care losing either like duing recces because it's just for fun. I do care for winning in my baseball league though. Anywhere else I don't care if I win or lose.

  24. I really like to win it makes me feel good but when you lose you have to still be a good sport and not make excuses of why you lost. Rescess games I don't care if I win or lose because one, we make some wierd calls and two it is just for fun. If I am playing baseball I care more if I win or lose because baseball is my life but I still be a good sport if I win or lose. Unlike some other teams that I have faced that cry, whine , and throw their equipment all over the place. The last time I cheated was when I was playing SORRY and I was shuffling the cards and I made my brother get all the bad cards and I got all the good cards. Other than that I never cheat in anything else.

  25. For the most part, I don't care if I win or lose. The most important thing for me is having fun, like when I'm playing games with my friends or family. Although when I win, I do feel really good. If I was in an important art or gymnastics competition, I would be very competitive and want to win. When I was much younger I did cheat at a game, but I didn't cheat again because I felt really guilty and sad.

  26. I play lots of games. And I don't care if in win. But I like it when it gets hard but it is fun. I cheat in Video Games but not in test just things that I have a way to cheat. I like to play games with friends and family because sometimes they do not know that I cheat so it gets fun. But I do not cheat in anything but board games. I do not cheat no more I grew out of it.

  27. I am really competitive. I rather win then loose. I also can get competitive with board games. I get really mad if I don't win one of my soccer games. Sometimes the reef causes the lost of our game beacause he/she makes all the bad calls. In P.E. I do not care if I win or loose I just think that we should have fun. But when we play kickball at recess I put my competitiveness bar up a little bit. I agree with all the people that are saying that if they lost that olympics they would be mad because everyone is counting on you. Well ya I would be mad as heck if I lost. I also agree with Zach because sometimes you just have to let someone have a win. Also in golf I get really frustrated when I am not winning but if I am winning I just keep on doing what I am supposed too. I have cheated but I can't remember the last time I cheated. I prefer to win but sometimes you have to loose.

  29. Winning for me is like winning the lottery. If I know I cant win I will still try to win. If I played a sport and I never won a game and I could not win a game and it was impossible to win I would just not play the game. But if it is possible for me to win I will try as hard as I can. I would put all of my hart into winning the game.

  33. I love to win. But it's not always easy to win. Last night I had a baseball game we lost but the umps weren't very good. We were down by six in the bottom of the sixth inning.We scored three runs, but when a kid on my team hit a fly ball and a kid on the other team cot it and then a kid on our team taged up and scored but the ump called him out. Isn't that domb.
