8+Tabling Americans And 4 Tabling Europeans

Lucky · #1 02-08-2007, 03:47 AM

Dont have hard evidence of this, but anecdotally from talking to players and observing who the super multitablers are, seems the grimstarrs almost entirely americans.

Why is this? Evidence of americans being more materialistic, Europeans prefer love of game and enjoyment, or is that too stereotypical?

I think Americans believe the more they work the further ahead they get and Europeans believe the less they work the more free time they have.

That honestly sums it up.... I couldn't think of a more accurate quote if I spent a couple of hours on it.

Another way of putting it might be that Europeans like to try and improve until they truly excel at something, whereas Americans just want to satiate their greed and need for immediate gratification!

But I don't agree with OP anyway, a lot of Euro sites are dominated by multitabling TAGs

(For the record Im neither European nor American)

I love how when Americans aren't good at something, or people aren't millionaires living crazy lives, take vacations, don't work hard and just enjoy life, they are failures in the eyes of the international community and evidence as to why American society is going down the tubes, and when they are rich hard working (or not) and flaunt their money etc etc, they are considered hethans who only care about material goods, spend their time trying to screw other people over and are generally unfit for European moral standards. Both identities ironically are said to be positively unhappy, a tragic perspective from a generally intelligent and caring, but without a doubt overly proud European conciousness. BTW this took me about 2 minutes to write before you want to go criticizing my lifestyle.

Yeah, seriously. And what has that "greed" and "need for immediate gratification" gotten us anyway? Oh, right...

I'm a liberal and I agree with the first one, so I don't understand how this highlights a difference between conservative and liberal thinking. How many American liberals do you think would agree with the second statement?

this means
1. youre not really as liberal as you think
2. you havent picked up on the underlying meaning of the first statement
3. you are just in the extreme minority

any or a combition of those things. and id guess 90% of american liberals would agree with the second statement.this is funny stuff
