ethics question

is it ethical to try to put another player on tilt if so how best to do this and where do i want this player to be sitting in relation to me on my left perhap any comments would be appreciated

i suppose it depends on how you go about putting them on tilt.But in general, i would say it is not unethical.

Obviously, there are ways of doing it that could be unethical -- ethnic or personal slurs, physical attacks, dropping ecstasy into the player's drink -- but other means may be ethicial but not right. In general, an angry game is not a good game. Not good to play in as a person and not necessarily good in terms of earnings. I'd much rather play in a loose, fun game where the bad players are having fun, winning some losing some, losing some more. Long-term, if you can't win based on your skills, tilting other players won't make the difference.

A double negative is a bit of a no no.

This just sounds funny.

Is this a terribly immoral thing to do? Also, how best should I do this thing?

Just an observation... I mean no disrespect.

Playing your best game with no excuses tends to put conservative, unimaginative players on tilt. They probably consider your style of play inferior, and they are mad you're kicking their ass with it.

Other than this, I'd try to avoid putting players on tilt. You want a game that has the outward appearance of friendly. Otherwise you might cause them to accidentally play better.
