A close match.
A lengthy explanation.
S.A.L.T. maintains that the outcome was unfair. It has prepared supporting evidence, a detailed account of the lag and several observations about your opponent’s choice of character.
Smug, competitive and remarkably committed to being correct, this little creature keeps company when a game starts feeling personal. The archivists are introducing the possibility that a loss can simply be a loss. A formal objection has been received.
- Disputes outcomes with considerable confidence.
- Requests a rematch almost immediately.
- Celebrates victories at unnecessary length.
- Occasionally accuses the furniture of tunnelling.
“Claimed every participant was cheating. No evidence was found.”— Archivist A.
Field-guide observations
Small signs of taking it less personally.
In S.A.L.T.’s file, the archivists record modest victories: a loss without a lengthy post-match analysis, a mistake worth laughing at, or deciding the next match can wait.
- A loss feels less personal.
- Rematches begin to feel optional.
- “GG” starts sounding genuine.
