WIN OR LOSE?
How important is it for you to win? When was the last time you cheated in a game so you could win?
I really don't think it is really important to win on a board game, but if it is like a sport or a championship it would be important to win. The last time I cheated on a board game to win was probably two and a half years ago. I cheated because I bet my friend $3 if I could beat her in monopoly. And I won. I cheated by taking $100 dollars from the bank . It wouldn't have mattered anyway, without the stolen money I would have beat her by at least $4,000 dollars.
Well, I am a very competitive person so winning is important to me! In things like board games or stupid stuff like that I don't really care! Once I was playing a game with my friends and one got so angry she threw all the pieces of the board! I was winning though so I was kinda secretly mad! Last time I cheated on a game, well does scamming people on a game count? I like to win, maybe a little too much and it sometimes ruins the fun of a game so that really sucks! But Im getting better at not being AS competitive!
I am not that much of a competitve person. The only exception of being competitive is when I am sparing with someone in Kar'ate, that's when I get agressive and competitive. Although, When I spar with someone who is not as competitive, I will not be that agreesive. I guess sparing just lets all my anger and frustration out. I have never cheated in Kar'ate once because there is really no way to cheat. I rarely ever cheat at all in fact, I have cheated in monopoly two or three times, by moving my car past "Go" a couple of times when it wasn't my turn to. I don't even understand why I did that, because who cares if you win monopoly????? Also, I cheated in chess once by moving a piece to check my dad when he wasn't looking, but it backfired and I got a checkmate...so cheating really never works!!!!!
Sometimes I can be competitve person. But not all ways. I once cheated in the board game sorry. I shuffled the cards so I could win. It wasn't a fair game. Nobody found out until now. Well now I don't cheat. (sometimes) :)
I really don't care if I win, I just like to have fun. If it was a dance competition, then yes I would like to win! But you can't always get what you want so might as well have fun doing it. The last time I cheated was this game called Headbandz. It was actually with Megan and Annie...sorry guys! That was in December, though!
For me winning at a board game isn't really that great unless you beat your older sibling!! But winning at sports is really important to me. It shows you have heart in your game. Losing stinks, big time. My basketball team doesnt lose very often, when we do its usually only by two or three points. At my last game we lost by 30. I admit, I cried my eyes out.When I swim I usually get 1st or 2nd place. My swim team has won in the championships 4 years in a row. GO MELROSE MAKOS!!! The last time I cheated was last year when I was playing Scrabble with my brother. I looked up Z words on the internet and got 34 points. He still won though. He was up by 80 points so it didn't matter anyways.
i love to win but i dont cheat i dont have anything to cheat in except Xbox. I wish i could win all the time some people say it doesn't matter win or lose but they usually say that when they win. But you cant win all the time or can you. It doesn't matter if you had fun if you lose because your so mad you don't think about having fun. But win you win it is all about how good you did i know i have had both a lot. So you all should know how both are like.
For me it is not important to win or lose. I like winning but it isn't the most important thing to me. I like to have fun most of all. The last time I remember cheating was when I was playing volleyball in the pool with Mary and I dove for the ball and said I got it but I didn't. I still lost after all.
Winning isn't too important to me. Although, when I dance, that's a lot different! I am not a cheater, so I don't really know the last time I may have cheated.. I think that playing games is just fun. Not about winning! I am very competitive, but if I don't win, I am fine with it!
It depends on a game on the importance of winning. A board game, you dont need to win. A Super Bowl, you NEED to win. I one time cheated in a baseball game when I was off of the bag at 2nd and the umps asked me if I was on the bag and I said yes because I wanted him to be out. Cheating is not a good thing to do.
For me it is not important to win or lose. I like winning but it isn't the most important thing to me. I like to have fun most of all. The last time I remember cheating was when I was playing volleyball in the pool with Mary and I dove for the ball and said I got it but I didn't. I still lost after all. All in all cheating can't help that much so play the game the way your supposed to.
I like to win but it really isn't that important to me. The last time I cheated was when I was playing a board game with my sister, it was called "Who Knew" and you pick a person on a card and the other person guesses hint about how the person looks. Then she guessed my person then I lied and said she was wrong. That was probably the last time I cheated.
I don't think it is important to win in a board game. Why because its just a game and its not like you were going to win $1,000! the last time i cheated was about 3 years ago because i was playing shoots and latters with my brother. So I rolled 4 but i changed it to 6. But im not going to do that anymore. :)
Well its hard to say i dont relly care about wining or loseing but i have fun when i play a game .When i cheated i was playing monoply and took my friends money i told her the dog ate it.Bt when i race i wnat to win badly cuase i was the fastest kid in schoool back in colorado.NEVER EVER is winning a good thing to brag about.And life is not about winning ever.
I am kinda competitive. I am competitive when I play bump out. And there was one time I cheated in Crazy 8's the card game. I shuffled them so I would get a free card. I used to be competitive about who could run the fastest. But I'm not a poor sport.
I think its better to win but as long as i have fun iI will play.the last time i cheated was last knight in chess.Shhhhhhh... dont tell my brother.My favorite bored game is probally life.I like life because it dosent matter who finishes first.The person with thhe most money wins. ~~~~~gavin~~~~
It is not important to me about winning . I have cheated sevral times before but not to win . I dont like games that have win or lose . As long as they have a point . I want to win buut not to cheat for it . Thats that .
I like to win... I have cheated when I play games with my family... I have cheated in the game sorry by shuffling the cards myself and getting the ones that I wanted. Shhh don't tell anyone my strategy. There are many games that you can play without cheating and you can always win at them. Sometimes cheating is not necessary.
I like to win but I don't cheat to win. Maybe a couple times though. It was in war when they weren't looking I put all the jokers inthe deck where I would get them. I usually never cheat at any game. Also if I cheat I almost all the time get caught.
I always love to win! Its just awesome. I don't cheat as much though, its fun to win without cheating. I think it isn't necessary to cheat. It really doesn't do you any good. Its just a pit in your stomach that you cheated and nobody else knows.
It is very important to win for me.I hate losing. I have never cheated to win but I know people who have told they cheated to win. When I lose I always congradulate the other team although I'm mad at them
I do not like to loose. I will not cheat but I will get very mad. I mostly win so I don't get mad much.I hope know one ever will see me mad. that is why I like to win and not loose. Riley
One time I was losing so I slipped a really good card under my sleeve and used it when was my turn to lay down. I got pretty competitive but at the end of the game I told them I cheated. There was also another game I cheated on. I really cheated badly. What I did is I put a card on the chair my sister was sitting on and when she got up she saw the card and wanted to know who put it on her seat. I told her it was me and she thought it was pretty funny.
It deppends if I care about winning or losing. If it is a board game then I don't care. But if it is like my sports games I do. The last time I cheated to win was not really my fault. In basedball I was running to first base and I turned 2 and ump was watching someone at home to make sure he touched home plate and I got tagged but they did'nt call me out. We won that game 11-3 That is the time I cheated to win.
i would liked to win becuase it feels good i side. like one time i raced my brother and it felt great. i mean i really beat my brother it was awesome. there was one time i cheated in a race. it did not feel good. this is why i like to win

It's never about winning it's only about what you enjoy doing never let something little get in the way of something big.
ReplyDeleteSomething I usually in the past have one was a singing contest vs. teenagers at a place called Double Daves in Texas.
