Gamey?

[Colonel Talvela]

Any game I play - and I prefer non-variable endings - my goal is not to get the flags, but to prevent my opponent from having any influence on the flags. It is a slightly different mindset, and I think if you play that way you dont need to worry about last minute flag rushes.


And if you own all the flags and are just camping on them for 10 minutes waiting for your opponent to show himself then you deserve to have the ill-affects of a last minute flag rush. If you just got the flags two minutes before the end, then you cant really consider it a last minute flag rush.

So I guess I dont really consider them gamey.
