I started out really calm thinking there was no way I was going to win. Then as time went by and no winner was announced I started getting nervous and shaky. When I had 35-40 fish I just couldn't believe that nobody had won yet and my hands were totally shaky. But sadly, I ported back to BB, and right as I was walking up to the guy a winner was announced. So I was about 5 seconds too late and was sooooo sad. Then the next week I was over confident and thought I might actually be able to win it, but wasn't even close. There's always next time! I will keep at it until I win it! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4493 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 08:19:49 +0000 Utopia 4493@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>Kreight <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4489" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>Totally normal.<br /> Also, I can't PVP for shit, so I get the shakies virtually every time I get jacked because I don't know what I'm doing and almost always end up dying.</p></blockquote> <p>Rofl,and there was me thinking only I got that worked up about the comp!<br /> I'm just the same on the pvp front,fortunately I've got VanasKoS,which helps me to at least run away from regular hit squads (well,or die trying ;)),and although I've been doing the comp for months on end each and every sunday,I still get the pounding heart and shakes when I get close to the magic 40.<br /> If I don't win this damn thing soon,I'm going to need medication,and if...no ...WHEN ( grr think positive woman) you'll probably hear me screaming from the rooftops :D </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4489 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:26:42 +0000 Kreight 4489@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Totally normal. </p> <p>Also, I can't PVP for shit, so I get the shakies virtually every time I get jacked because I don't know what I'm doing and almost always end up dying. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4475 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 01:37:00 +0000 Shimarenda 4475@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It's definitely normal. The time I won, I wasn't really thinking I had a chance, so I started off nonchalant. By the time I only had 3 fish to go, I was afraid I would lose for not being able to hold my cursor on the bobber. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4466 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 12:23:35 +0000 Kalito 4466@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I get shaky every single time I get near victory, too.<br /> I've not won it yet, nor do I actually have the boots. I want to continue on fishing after the contest and every time I plan to do so, but I simply have to take a break from my computer and do something else for a while to get my nerves back after losing...</p> <p>This week, after finally catching my Herring, though, I've gotta win! Thirty-ought minutes to go, wish me luck! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4299 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:15:35 +0000 Raeliss 4299@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I haven't won yet, but I agree with the others in that when I get very close, I get VERY excited and nervy. My hands don't shake, but my heart pounds so hard and heavy and I breathe quicker. I guess the excitement manifests differently for all of us but I'd say it's perfectly normal to get all those nervous/excited things like sweaty/shaking hands and so on. </p> <p>I ended up needing a break the other day after completing <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=1277">Rapid Defense</a> achievement. I was weak at the knees from the excitement and my voice was shaking as I was telling my housemate about it. hehe </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4297 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:36:11 +0000 Oberweiss 4297@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>All three times I've won (across 2 characters), my hands were shaking. I can't say if it's healthy, but I can certainly say it's normal. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4286 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:04:35 +0000 Chagga 4286@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I won the contest a couple months before the expansion (2 weeks in a row, actually), and both times as I hit around 38 fish, I got really shaky. I was surprised both times, but especially the 2nd time as I'd already won once.</p> <p>I think it's just the adrenalin rush that does it.</p> <p>And I can't imagine trying to win the contest now, with the increased competition. I go sometimes since I still haven't caught the boots fish yet, but never try to win. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4270 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 06:19:58 +0000 llie 4270@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>LOL! When I'm close to winning my hands start to shake! Haha. By the time I hearth and am in BB I have a hard time turning in the quest cause my mouse hand is shaking so bad! The first time I won I was pretty close to losing cause of it too! LOL! So ya... you two definitely aren't the only ones. :D :P </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4269 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 05:19:55 +0000 Triseult 4269@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Haha! Well, speaking for myself, I got pretty worked up during the contest... I participated for 3 months, so with every week that I lost, I was feeling more and more anxious as I neared victory.</p> <p>The week before I won, I actually caught 40 fish and started to hearth back to BB. I was a nervous wreck... Even knowing that this was just a stupid fishing contest in a videogame. 3 months of doing it every Sunday is a good time investment...</p> <p>The week I won it, I was actually super-calm. I guess after losing a few inches in front of the quest giver had convinced me there was no point in getting worked up over it. I barely got excited as I started to hearth (although it seemed to take longer than usual.) When I won it, my guildies on Vent exclaimed that they'd thought I lost because I was so quiet.</p> <p>So yeah... It's something to get worked up about, alright. 1 winner every week, and you can lose it at any moment. It's not like you can build up a lead and relax... Every second counts.</p> <p>No wonder I wanna go back. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-contest-victory-inquiry#post-4266 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 03:49:37 +0000 scrowjob 4266@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>so i won the contest a few days ago, I had a damn good run, I didn't get ganked once, I had a steady stream of tastyfish schools spawn near me. From about 35 fish onwards I started shaking, and when I won, I was shaking so badly that I had to go take a nice hot shower to calm my nerves. My question is, is the shaking a normal thing or am i just a super concentrated nerd who enjoyed the victory too much? </p>
