Guilty. Flawed human here that kinda gets a perverted kick out of the emotional swings of ASL. Elation to devastation and back again. I love it and hate it at the same time. That's why I'm hooked
The "Urge to Purge" can be strong.Thank goodness for the mute button.
I can get pretty cranky when math and science says a scenario should be going a certain way and it is not -- mostly in the form of some colorful language. If I know the person well, I am more apt to do so. Otherwise less so (but regretfully some still slips out). As most others have said, it is never directed at my opponent, mostly my own poor play, bad decision-making or consistently bad dice. Almost always I am over it by the end of a player turn after I "verbally cleanse".
The short answer is YES
I play ASL like I drive........................ANGRY!
I am from there!You live in Michigan?
OK, that explains it. I've driven through Wyoming and didn't see another car for miles, so who are you getting mad at, the cows? lol.I am from there!
There is an old chess axiom..."you learn more from a lost game than a won game".After a long time, I have learned to laugh at it all. My 2s and 12s, his 2's and 12's, berserks, stalls, immobs, you name it, I laugh at it.
My Cardiologist told me to get the stress out of my life. I have recently learned to laugh a lot more. It's healthier.
News:
Two professional video gamers have been named by US media as the victims of a rival player in a shooting at an eSports tournament in Florida.
Eli Clayton, 21, and Taylor Robertson, 27, were both well-known players of the Madden NFL American football game.
Police say David Katz, 24, from Baltimore, carried out the attack at the Jacksonville Landing shopping and entertainment complex on Sunday.
Unconfirmed reports say Katz had become angry after losing a match.

I like our friendly little ASL community.
I've gotten mad playing ASL but one of my roommates in college would go over the top (we mainly played Battletech and Star Fleet Battles). The most extreme was smashing two dice with a hammer, breaking a clip board over his own head, and throwing two dice in the woods behind the house. I haven't seen or gamed against him in over 25 years.Before ASL, I Hammer Tested so many dice I ran short of them. They were SPI sized dice so good riddance. I am infamous for braking SWs at the wrong time, 1 snipers taking out my best leader, and heros dieing shortly after creation.
