This thread is a reaction on the flood of "Poll: Don't you hate campers as much as I do?"-type threads lately, which are hotbeds of flamers and whiners, but contain very little actual discussion.
I've got the feeling noone will take this thread to heart because if there's one thing gamers love to do these days it's whining, but if you're willing to do me (and everyone else) a favor, read this: <url=http://www.sirlin.net/ptw>Playing to Win. It's quite a lot of text, but it's broken down in short, easy to navigate and easy to read chapters so even those of you who are kids with the attention span of a chipmunk on speed should be able to get through it eventually. It's also not required to be a hardcore gamer of any kind to understand it all.
