String of Bad Games

[Downey]

How do you counter act a string of bad games?
I recently had one and I'm sad! =(

Well, you're still pretty new, so it can't be all that bad. But remember that CC is about process, not result. The finest strategy can be undone by the dice, the most catastrophically moronic strategy can fall backassward into success.

Just make sure you know why you lost. Try and learn from the defeat, see where your strategy and anticipation of the enemy's moves could have been better, and go from there. Believe me, you seem reasonably bright, your ceiling is a long way ahead of you.

Of course, there's always high-volume profanity. That helps me cope.

keep playing till you hit a good run
but sence you new it will take a few games to know all the settings and maps so just hang in there

break up the band you are in with your ex-wife and start one with a bunch of friends...
maybe call yourselves the raconteurs... cut 2 albums that rocks, and get on with the touring!
hell, maybe even produce an album by Loretta Lynn!! anything to break the cycle and get back
to the funk that made you who you are!!! good luck!!!-0

I swear alot more then i ever would in real life then i go do some chore my parents have been nagging me to get of cc and do for the last 3 days because for some reason i think its like karma even though i dont really believe in that.

and because i just lost 30 on 10 i have to go clean my room-_-

One of the highs from 1v1 games is the instant gratification
but there's a downside... which you've already discovered.

I'd recommend freestyle speed games with 5 or more players
but opponents with clickable maps can be a bummer too.

Maybe some sequencial speed games will give you a decent buzz
and improve your chances of survival.

I approve very much of owen's post.

Seriously.
You rule.
And so do the Raconteurs.

Well said incan...

And Downey, I will add that I have personally experienced an epic losing streak... 23 consecutive losses...
Yep, that's right... TWENTY THREE...
Losing 2 out of 3 doesn't bother me a bit... but let me tell you, 23 was tough...

But don't laugh too hard at me... i once had a 6 game winning streak! (woot!)
