I'm a player...

I'm a player, not a gamer. Players compete, players are higher thinkers; strategists and tacticians. Players are Logicians and cartographers. Gamers are consumers, they buy what's advertised most and what promises to be most popular, regardless of product quality. Gamers have no real world experience. Players excel ingame because they are streetwise in real life. Players own a PC and a Playstation3. Gamers own a rrod360 and a wii.

As you further your education, you will seek refinement, it's a natural progression. What you buy, what you eat, who you keep company with, what you say, what you listen to, what you view, what you play, all these everyday decisions contribute to who you are. As a player you strive to find the perfect title, avoiding games that ask you to adopt bad habits. A title, when properly factored is an aptitude test, on par with or greater than chess. Perfect title is a subjective term. Titles may be perfect for their time, or perfection itself; THE perfect game has yet to be made, so the search at present is for what is perfect for it's time. Once such a title is found, we as players seek to become masters of it.

Players are few, while gamers are many. One twentieth of one percent of a legitimate leaderboard on average, can qualify as players, which usually equates to the top one-hundred or five-hundred. Players will never be popular, or even admired by anyone other than fellow players and enlightened professionals in other fields; their only peers. Players spend their days and nights ruining the hopes and aspirations of gamers. Players climb leaderboards and tournament ladders by victimizing countless gamers. Every point of a players score can be directly attributed to the failures of gamers. Gamers will take every non-ingame opportunity to critique and slander a player, it's the only time they get to face the player without being returned to spawn.
