Gamesmanship or The Art of Winning Games Without Actually Cheating.

Re: [OT] The Art of Winning Games
No! It's not whether you win or lose that counts: it's how much pain you inflict along the way.

Re: [OT] The Art of Winning Games
eh, you hit a good topic there... im a big advocate of the "play to play, not to win" and gamemanship. I dont believe that winning is the sole goal of a game, any game. However, its a very welcome outcome

It's not whether you win or lose... It's whether you win.
