I thought that was the coach?

I feel the logic of Tenrabbits losing more games because his winning games aren't moving is flawed. Whether your games are filling up or not, your chances of drawing into an opponent that you'll beat haven't changed.

There is, however, a psychological effect to winning games quickly and losing games slowly.

I prefer losing my games first. However, I still "stall" my losing games. Contradiction? Not really. The reason I delay my turns longer in games where I'm in a worse position isn't because I'm intentionally stalling our of frustration or because I don't want to lose. It's because I need to think more on my turns. Games where I'm dominating don't take as much thought and hence I take my turns more quickly. So in other words, it's only natural that games where your opponent is losing should take them longer because they need to consider their turns more carefully since you clearly aren't just some pushover.

Nope, sorry Emuchu, Shane said it in the huddle when he came back for the last few minutes of the game. I love that movie!

I'm not more likely to put off a turn because I'm losing BUT I am more likely to putt of a turn if there's a large amount of FoW. If there's a lot of FoW then I have to watch replays to figure out what's going on (where units are, etc.).

That said, a large amount of FoW defintely correlates positively with likelihood of losing.
