I'll have to agree with Zeit here. He and I share the same views and opinions when it comes to competitive gaming and how that relates to fun.
I play to win, winning is fun. I don't like losing. I like being able to boast about my triumphs. These elements are what make a game fun for me.
Now Innovacious, I agree with you when you say that players who get angry when they lose tend to make the game less fun, but that's only if they let it affect them after the game is over and they dwell on it.
I for one don't get upset after the game is over and I shut it off for the night. Life goes on and a game doesn't carry enough weight to have such an impact on my life outside of web - its just a game.
A game isn't designed to leave you with a disgruntled, sour feeling when you're done. If feel this way after you're finished playing, thats when you know you're taking the game to seriously.
