Ouch!....

Last night I was up until 1:45 or so (Glad I can listen to George Norry on Coast to Coast on talk radio and play at the same time), and boy did I get a beating I won't soon forget. Of course I had fun the entire time, but my ranking sure suffered for said fun. 4 player game, and 32 games were played. The great thing was, 3 of us won 8 games each. All of our ranks were pretty close, I think I began with 6800, another with 6700, and one with 7000+. By the end of the games, we all were ~6800. Not too shabby, considering I was teamed up against by two. It usually happens that way too. Tell me if you've seen this before.scenario:
You get a 4 player game going, and notice two players with Japanese names, pretty good ratings too. The last player is usually an English-pronouncable name with a mediocre rating (6000-6400). The lower rated player usually has no clue as to how to play, so he'll usually dump his garbage anywhere, usually me :( The game starts and the japanese players immediately send me about 8 lines. It's crazy I tell you! I think I came in 4th about 5 times, split the rest between 2nd and 3rd, and 8 times came in first. And when I came in first, I made sure one of the japanese players came in last, I'm sure that pissed them off to no end, just like it did me. What always gets me is how the japanese players really ganged up on me, even though I wasn't the highest rated player, just that I was the average player, with a non japanese name.
I call shenanigins!
Although i got killed a lot, it was tons of fun, and kinda heart pounding. I hate when I get so nervous that I begin to tremble, and then the misdrops come at a furious pace. But such is the tetris way.
Oh I've also resigned myself that I won't ever be a great player. I'm a good player, but since I can't ever find ways to do the t-spins at a consistent rate, or other tricks, I know I won't ever beat anyone over 7500, I'm just not that into winning ( I think).
happy trails
