Wicked, what do you mean by not having qualifications? :o Are there any jobs specifically that you're aiming to apply for in the future that might have strict qualifications?

Mostly I just mean that I don't have any actual certifications, degrees, or experience in fields that would benefit me. So I'm kinda stuck taking what I can get.

I agree, looking at their DCC there doesn't seem to be much activity in interaction between them compared to us. And while they did get in the lead in the time capsule race at first, we did make a late surge and are now one submission ahead of them, but hopefully another #radred can get an entry in.

Here's hoping we get crowned the winners of the whole event, and I'm one who can't take a loss well so I'd be kinda sad if the #bluebloods win but we did put up a good fight.

Still, we can't say much about the Daily Five Words. The Quote War had probably an equal distribution of point between the two, activity was a lot larger at that point at both sides. We might have a little lead in the Time Capsule, but I think Lucid scored as many points as our whole team at complimenting us.

Ah yes Lucid was the huge threat to us in the compliment challenge because of all the #radreds she was shooting quotes at, and if the #bluebloods are crowned the winners at the end of the week I'm blaming it on her. Thankfully the time capsule can give you double the points and we have like two more entries there than their side so we're still in with a chance, but the final results will be close.

You know, I'll still be extremely sad if the #bluebloods win. I can't take losses well.

A loss wouldn't matter much. The worst thing that can happen is the whole Treehouse getting a blue forum style for some time.

Ah yes, we have a rugby league event here in Australia where New South Wales and Queensland duel for three games, and the team that wins forces the other state to fly a flag of the winner. I could imagine the Treehouse having to don a blue-colored splash if the #bluebloods win and I will be ashamed of myself for being on the losing team.

Losing matters to me a lot, because I always lost games every single time when I was younger.
 
Lycanthropy said:
Is it weird to think that losing often, gives you more experience with them and therefore being able to take them better? Or did some of them have real impact on you?

My losses always had terrible emotional impact on me, so if we lose this event I will be hanging my head in shame and say to myself "why oh why did you place me on the team that went down in nothing but flawless defeat" and I know why, because red is so not my color.

Please don't. Even if it's a competition, taking it way too seriously can actually damage your spirit and maybe your feelings.

I did take it seriously in the early days but that died out, but as you should know I am emotionally brittle and my feelings get hurt much harder than most people and that causes me to suffer insecurity. I had a very bad moment last Friday night when an abusive neighbor of mine kicked and damaged our security door, and I was like so scared.

It's often typical of my character to become a crybaby when I'm upset, it's what I've been doing since my childhood which has been very dark and troubled by bullies.

Well, at least I can brag about not getting any compliments from anyone. {XD}

Better being a good loser than an ass of a winner and always have backup if things go wrong; if you can't win the competition, think about what else you've gained from it and I'm not talking about experience, because that's lame. :)
 
I'm a sore loser, because of a dark and troubled childhood where I always found myself losing every single game I played. It made me want to avoid most competitive events altogether, because it hurts my feelings and I suffer it harder than most people.

In that case I have to wonder, why you're actually participating in this. I mean, you know that there's a possibility that we'd lose, but you participate anyway. Or did someone force you?

Sorry, but I'm just a little bit confused. ^^"

I had no idea it was going to be competitive, I went in totally blind. But if we see this event making a comeback I'll likely just be a spectator instead of a member in fear I end up on the wrong side again.

You know, you could have gotten just inactive, so why do you bother putting so much effort into something that you could lose anyway? I mean, there has to be another reason, doesn't it?
 
I can see what you mean, but I did enjoy some challenges but not all of it. That compliment war was definitely the hardest, along with the secret words. If the #bluebloods win, I'll just say "I may have been put on the team that wasn't successful but at least I did something" but yeah I will likely never sign up for events like this again, it's why my pal Starry Windy didn't join, he was worried he'd end up on the opposing side and would get sad.

I feel like I share too much in common with him for some reason. Friendly competition is okay, but it's much harder to deal with when you have emotions that shatter easily.

That makes it even more confusing. Then again, I'm probably quite the opposite of you, since I shut down my emotions a long time ago, which created a ton of problems as well, but in a different way.

Anyway, there's no reason for you to not become emotional in such a case, it's what makes humans human. :)
 
I might have to take time off again, because I had been suffering ever since my family's unit was attacked and I want to focus activity elsewhere. But at the same time I'm worried about the Fairy-type club because I'm club owner and if I'm away for too long it'll die out.
