Last week Puddin Pop had a friend over. We'll call her "B". They were playing and I was doing some very important work on my laptop (Facebook). PP's friend came over to see what I was doing and caught me playing Zuma Blitz.
B: My mom has that game,
Me: I know
B: She's addicted to it.
Me: I'm addicted to beating her.
Later that day I'm telling B's mom about our conversation and we're both laughing. She says "Can't you just let me win once?" um. NO.
But I never win either. There's a weekly tournament where you try to beat all your friends. On HER list I always show as 1st place but on my list (because we have different friends) I'm always 2nd. There's a woman who I don't know IRL who ALWAYS beats me... and by a LOT.
Yesterday I had a thought. If I just un-friend this woman I don't even know then I will always win. Nice thought. Then I went in to kill a couple minutes and saw that B's mom had beat my weekly high score. I'm a little competitive so this was unacceptable. I loaded up on powers and set out to beat her. You know what happened? I posted my Highest. Score. Ever. I even beat the woman I was thinking of un-friending. That felt awesome. Better than winning because she was no longer my "friend".
So. If you play FB games, Would you un-friend someone so you could WIN?

ReplyDeleteI do play FB games, and NO I would NEVER un-friend someone so I could win! Ha! I'm just not that competitive! :)

ReplyDeleteI'm glad I didn't do it. It felt so good to finally beat her. But I did think about it, lol.
ReplyDeleteOh you are too funny!
ReplyDeleteYou always beat me at Zuma Blitz! I couldn't believe it when I saw your score last night. Crazy high!
