"We're getting too involved, too deep into the game, so deep that we can't stop playing even when it's over... Which means that the next time we play each other, it'll feel like the continuation of the same game. No matter what game we're playing, we'll see it as a chance to get even for the last game, for the game we played before and couldn't stop playing."
"I call this state of mind 'tournamentality'".
- Bernard De Koven, "The Well-Played Game"
