quote:
Do you ever play competitive games with your Master / Mistress or with your slave? If you are a slave and you win a game, does it make you "feel" less submissive? If you are a Master / Mistress and the slave defeats you, do you feel that your authority is endangered? If you are a slave, do you let your Master / Mistress win, even if you can defeat him / her? Each time a competitive game is played, whether it's Battleship, Clue, Subbuteo, or Twister, the Mephistophelian pact of Dominance and submission between the two parties is on the line. Each subtle shift in momentum, each brilliant play or stroke of pure luck, brings the matter closer to a resolution. What does the submissive play for? Their soul. What does the Dominant play for? Dominion over same. This dynamic is best encapsulated by that scene from what is, in my opinion, one of the greatest and most important films ever made, in which Theodore "Ted" Logan and Bill S. Preston Esq. (alias Bill and Ted) play a game of Twister against death for their souls. Deeply powerful stuff. To answer your question directly: I like games. I always play to win.
