Do they know for a fact that the people working these games dont read this?
I know I would love to wake up, come on here and see my partner for that game absolutely thrashing me and my horrible call. In fact the call was so bad that he called it the worst call he has ever seen!!
Dont tell me that "those guys will never know it was their game" most of you post your real names and the game situations are so specific and so absurd that it can only be a handful of games, EVER!
Thanks!

Orangeump,
The scream of pain you heard was me reacting to having my toes trampled. Sometimes I do get caught up in ego games and think I need to toot my own horn. Thanks for the reminder!!!
Also, thanks for pointing out that I should be more mindful of the feelings of others. I will be more careful with the details I provide, so the identities of those involved in any situation are not revealed.
