Tic-tac-toe / noughts and crosses

[catt]

I was thinking since we have a connect 4, we might just as well have a noughts and crosses:

But Naughts and crosses can be a certain draw. No fun in that.

[catt]

Spoilsport. :silly:

(Whatever happened to playing for fun? Is all you want to do winning?)

[FrankishHero]

Yes. :wink:

(I want to impress...errr...certain people on the boards)

[catt]

I *only* play for fun. I don't see any point in "winning", often winning just has to do with being lucky.

I like to play board games and when i was small I'd always get totally upset when I lost. It spoiled the whole game for me. Then I started playing only for fun, of course winning is nice but I'm just has happy if somebody else "tricks" me with a good move I didn't see coming.

[FrankishHero]

I'm a chessplayer by nature, so of course I play to win.

[catt]

To me chess is no game but a science.

[RobinBanks]

I don't have the patience for chess. I'll play, catt.

Neither do I. I sometimes watch people play it on the street and usually they are all serious about it, it's a question of honor.
So, I rather play things I don't need to take too seriously.

The only games men don't take serious are the games they lose at.

In that case I'd point you towards the Olympics post in this section. :silly:

I was thinking maybe we could make the field bigger, how about 5x5? I'm just not sure if it makes much sense...

Edit: Nah, it doesn't at all

We could try it with a bigger field :scratch:
