This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Exactly what I'm trying to teach my kids.

When playing with people, the goal is for them to want to play with you again, not just to win. Put the worst people on your team and teach them to be better, and go after the better players on the other team, leaving the worse players to your teammates. Or as you said, goof off a bit, or give yourself handicaps (e.g. have to "tag up" to your base between kills, can only use one weapon, etc).

If everyone goes home happy, then it's a success. Leave the fierce competition for tournaments.
