- You're damn right--it's very annoying. Because, the first round you
- fight someone, sure, you might lose...but at least now you've seen
- a little of their strategy and perhaps weakness, but THEN they switch
- off. And by the end of THAT round, when you've just gotten used to
- playing that person, BOOM, back to the first.
-
- I really do hate people who can't fight their own battles.
-
- And you know what's REALLY annoying? When about 5 of them (mostly
- expert players) do it between all the good machines (so that you can't
- just play on another machine if you don't feel it's fair). And then,
- you win a round (there's always at least a couple of them you can beat)...
- and they see this and switch off with someone else that they know CAN
- beat you so that they can continue to monopolize the games.
-
- Oh yah, and then, by some stroke of luck (or skill, doesn't really
- matter which), you finally win all the rounds, they just drop in
- another quarter and switch off AGAIN.
-
- That's the one time I've come about an inch away from starting a
- brawl.
