Girls vs Boys counting game REVENGE!!!!!!

[thisnumbersdisconnected]

I sense some malicious glee in that statement....

Glee? Absolutely. Malicious? Perish the thought. A cyber-poke of the ego? Yeah, probably.

Woohoo. We won! Again! Even though this was supposed to be revenge for the last time!

Where did all the womens go for this little bout?

Well I tried. Sorry for not being a worthy opponent. :p But I do have a life away from the computer, y'know?!

I will admit that this one took quite a bit longer than the first time around.

Yeah you guys decided to prolong our suffering.

Consider the following. Five or six of you guys took the time to crush the hopelessly outmanned (pun intended) girls team. I feel honoured you thought us worthy to get stomped into the ground. :D While I failed to motivate the other girls of this forum my call for revenge obviously got the guys motivated. While we didn't really have a chance we still got your attention.
And some of the conversations we had during the game were fun, too.
It's not really an ego poke. It's more like a win-win.

On a more serious note, this whole game taught me something about myself.

Interesting. Care to share?

Well I could have done more. I could have called for help or made a thread like the one Numbers started during the first counting game thread, where he called the other guys of the forum to help. Maybe I could have gotten some of the other ladies to join in more frequently and to indentify with the objective of this game so they'd desire to get this to 1000 and to actively pursue a victory.
I thought about staring a call for help thread of that kind ever since we got below 200. But for several days I didn't do it. I was scared of trying to take control/ responsibility of things because in trying I could have failed.
It was a shyness and avoidance issue. Instead of trying to turn this loss around I accepted the role of the tragic lone hero(ine) fighting a losing battle against some overwhelming foe. That's a fun role to play, it appeals to my masochism - but it's not the way to win. It's just an excuse for not having to go the inconvenient way of trying harder.

Now this is just a fun playful thread on the internet that will have no consequences. But I behave the same way in real life. I'm not determined enough to prusue my goals in real life because I'm afraid of failure. I don't even give it a try (because you cannot fail if you don't try), and the slightest setback or frustration would make me run and hide. God has been pointing me to that weakness a lot lately, and I think He doesn't want me to be like that, because thanks to those mental issues I cannot use the potential He's given me.
But if God wants me to change it means that it's possible for me to change, doesn't it? :yes

Did you really want to know all that stuff?

Good show, ladies!

I pretty much quit because folks were editing their posts.


[Edit]: We need an add-on that would automatically PM us and Email us and POP-UP every time that happens, don't we?

I was actually referring to poking our own egos. :D

You're a lot of fun, Claudya. Almost as much fun as my Liz. Almost.

[Claudya]

But you'd be on the evil enemy male team. I can't allow that!

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

I'm dumb, I could never play right and win.
You better list the rules before we start.
