LOSING!
This is an EXTREMELY good guide on how to lose! It's from an RP-only game that I used to play.
I know it's from a different community, and there's no PvP there, but it still applies here too.
Here it is.
I ask everyone to take the time to read through the first bit that he actually posted, and think on it a bit.
Re-read it myself and have to admit that I need to be more OK with not always winning.
Edit: realized that it does talk about Nationstates specific stuff in there, just replace it with a situation from Discovery.

Very nice Ichtan! Refreshing to see something like that :D

ha! Nice one, didn't really think about how much better than loosing with RP is than winning without.

Definately something everyone who wants to rp needs to be read, but gah, nationstates, yuck. After about a month that game, just eeeww.

Wow, Nationstates! Haven't played that in over 5 years and 2 different people have brought it back to my attention in the last week! Wonder how many of the West Pacific government still play!

As a long-time veteran of losing at various and sundry multiplayer games, I must say that I agree with that entirely....
This is definately someting every new player needs to read.

That was instructing !!
That could be worth to try to adapt it to Disco a bit more,
but the global meaning is definitely interesting.

I like it!!
in fact my favorite RP ingame event was when the OCs attacked Crete with just a handful of fighters. (only Ivan was on at the time) and as soon as we got there we got capspammed of course (not by the factions, this was in the days of TT) and the Red Hessian Cruiser we brought went boom as did another fighter, so it was me in my bomber and a saber vs a HUGE fleet. So I told my friend to get out and as I went BOOM said in system comms "My brother is safe, I'm content" and imho that's one of the best pieces of RP that I've done. And all cause we lost.

oh wow, that sure brings back memories. I used nationstates a while back, 3-4 years ago, I guess. it was pretty good, depending on how involved you got, and who you got involved with.
It brings up a very good point though, we're here ultimately to have fun, not to prove ourselves better than someone else. heck, there's many games where I was most proud of moments where I lost and put up a good fight rather then just win. I had a game of Dawn of War go on an hour after I have clearly lost, with only three groups of gretchin left. I scattered them and started building HQ's everywhere and many laughs were had by me, the players that had already lost, and even the last player that had to hunt me down.
truth is, if you're having fun, you've won, not the other way around
