ITS BECAUSE THEY'RE MORONS!!! If you don't know the game of hearts, save your time, I'm not writing about anything else for a while, these people have me so pissed off (over something as little as this, amazing what I resort to when left to my own devices). For whatever reason, my hearts rating is exceptionally low. I figure "thats ok, I can crawl out of a hole", but it's rare that the players with good ratings will start a game unless they think you're up to par with their skills, so I have to go to work on the idiots. A good hearts player knows simple arithmetic. If one of your opponents is within 26 points of 100, but another is more than 26 points your better, ITS A BAD FUCKING TIME TO SHOOT THE MOON, its like shooting yourself in the fucking foot (msn doesn't give you the option of substracting from your own score). Its an all or nothing game, it doesn't matter if its by one or 100 points, YOU FUCKING LOSE. And for fucks sake, you don't have to know every card that's been played, BUT IF YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO SHOOT THE MOON YOU SHOULD PAY CLOSER FUCKING ATTENTION TO THE HEARTS!!! This is a little pickier, but still, a lot of players can pick up on it easy enough. I mean, thirteen cards of every suit is pretty standard, so if three tricks of the same suit (thats 12 cards) go by and no one cuts, THERES ONLY ONE MORE FUCKING CARD IN THAT SUIT, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LEAD IT!!! And simpler stuff than this goes by time and time again, and there is no strategy. Once in a while you can pick up on how people like to pass or whether they'll play cautiosly, defensively, or just get rid of everything as fast as you can. Sometimes you can see when people are out to get each other but never with these idiots. There's no rhyme or reason to their game, and it's not that they're trying to be random. If after 5000 games you still have a rating that bad, you'd think they could have picked a winning strategy. No, they just suck, no fancy words for it, they out and out play like shit, and what pisses me off even more, is that I'm actually having trouble beating some of them. Any time I try to implement a strategy, they go and fuck it up by doing something completely non-sensicle that almost no intelligent person would do. And I've just spent 15 minutes talking about this, and you know, that might bother me, but how else could I have spent it? Between now and the time I get back to Milwaukee I won't even have the potential to do something productive, so I can't really waste time as whether I sit here idly or go sit somewhere else idly, I won't be getting back to Milwaukee any sooner. I've already exhausted my mind and body with various other activities throughout the day, so no, there wasn't a whole lot of wasted potential. I did what was in my power to do, and now I choose to sit here and bitch about FUCKING MORONS, and hope that just maybe an interesting email will float my way. However, I do realize its a monday night, and for the most part you all have places to be in the morning. I'm sorry, I just don't have anything to compare that to. Of course that odds that any of you have endured my ranting for this long is quite unexpected, but it would be incredibly endearing. If you don't want to admit that you wasted as much time reading this as I did typing it, I would understand. I'm just comfortable with the fact that this is my life right now because I know it's going somewhere... eventually.
