Interesting to hear the mind of kowalski - I can relate to much of what you say too. Fine line between creating a decent mentality, and creating a delusional world; as a philosopher I'm sure you'd have more to say on that!

I'd be interested to see what other people think of solo game too, particularly Swype, as I get the impression he uses 'game' in a more technical sense like I was doing, merging, creating value etc. I'm not as mindful of this stuff when I'm out with wings, but solo I was really concentrating on it. Eventually, when in the final set, I was 'in state' - but it took game techniques to get me there.
