Quote:Um... For the record I'll say it's rather clear that ABF not only has admitted defeat quite clearly, but has ALSO partaken in one of my favorite forms of comedy, self depricating humor. From what I can tell, ABF is saying he lost because he made a stupid mistake, and also wondering what may have happened if he didn't. That's what people do after a game, analyze where they went wrong and see what they can do next time to win. From what I can tell, it's pretty clear ABF knows full well it's his fault he lost as much as it's OB1's "fault" he won the game (after all, the winning party does have some part in determining the loser, am I right?).
Quote:Oh and, last I checked when someone says "the reason I lost is because you basically trapped me and I screwed up", well, if you can take that as anything other than A:, admission of defeat, B: determining WHY they were defeated and C: (in a terse way) basically complimenting your opponent for a jorb well done, I gotta wonder about ya....
Oh really, he admitted defeat? Allow me to quote what he posted right before and after I beat him:
Play a move as dumb as my last one in your next move and I'll keep playing, but otherwise it's impossible for me to win... you took too long between posts and I forgot what I was supposed to be doing so I played there instead of waiting like I should have. Ah well.
....
Well what was I supposed to do, play two in a row to block you?
With that I'd have won... in two more moves... if you went blind and didn't block me...
....
I'm not sure if I would have lost or now had I not played there (letting you block that 3)... possibly, possibly not, who knows about these things...
....
But it was still just because I messed up. Probably.
....
No, in Connect Four it's not usually because of that consistently. It's generally like what happened in both of these games -- someone messes up. If neither person ever messed up I'd bet on a whole lot of ties.
And right here, ABF even admits that he didn't admit defeat, which puts a pretty giant hole in your defense, DJ:
You're so silly, OB1, caring so much about if I "admit defeat" or not... so I don't just to annoy you... (childish? Eh, by this point I don't care anymore... you deserve it.)
Seriously DJ, as fun as it used to be, having to shut down your attempts at trolling is getting kind of old. At least it used to be somewhat of a challenge...
