: "I didn't lose, the other team just scored more points than I did, even though we're all working towards the same number of points."
But if the other team got more points, then didn't you...? And didn't they...? Ahhh! Are you sure FIRST isn't being sponsored by Tylenol now, and needed a way for them to boost sales because of the competition??? =)
: No losers this year.. Yay.. Just emphasizes even more that everyone that participates in FIRST is already a winner..
Exactly...and while this isn't exactly a "made for tv" game...I can't think of one that really has been since I've started with this back in '98...
: So??
: I'm just like a lot of other people.. I like a lot of physical matches where it comes down to the wire for who's going to win the match.. I absolutely loved watching nationals last year even though I was going to die from heat stroke.. But I'm not complaining..
Like other people have said, this game is a whole new idea...just what FIRST is know for... =)
: So because of the previously stated, I'm not ABSOLUTELY in love with the game yet.. But I don't absolutely hate it either..
I'm still trying to figure it out...once i've done that, then i'll decide if i like it or not...
: Right now I'm really intrigued by it.. Partially because I don't really have a clue what's going on yet.. (but that's besides the point) But it's really because it's all about STRATEGY and precision of a different sort this year..
From someone who has spent time with reversi(othello) and chess...I'm all for the strategy aspect of this year's game...we'll see what happens...
: I'll get back to you when I really know what's going on in my head.. I'm just waiting for the 3DS workshop to be done so I can bring my gang (Colleen, Robby, Nate) back to my home so we can do a combo of brainstorming for the competition and playing Nintendo64 (yay Lego Racers)..
Now, if I had known...I could have brought some of my other games...things to know for next year...
