Thread: Playing Games Against DCs - Do They Ever Win?

Well - what it says on the tin!
Since I haven't got any experience with it myself - not even with fighting - I would love to hear about this.
Is it possible to loose games against DCs, if not consciously wanting to loose?

Why do I come up with this? Because of the TOTMs and Xanous' following dream:

How long is he going to keep this up? My father looks at my mother.
Dad: He keeps repeating me, hon.
Me: He keeps repeating me, hon.

I laugh as I repeat another phrase of his, I can't remember now because I am startled by his driving. He's a very bad driver in waking life and always scares the shit out of whomever is unfortunate enough to ride with. Anyway, we come to a 4-way stop but he does not appear to be slowing down. Out of reflex I shout, “DAD LOOK OUT!” I immediately realize my mistake as the quickly stops. I lost the game. “Oh man! You got me.” I chuckle at the whole thing. “Man you totally get me.”
My father just keeps asking what I am talking about.

So your unconscious manifestation tricked your conscious one into loosing a game, in which it hadn't even taken part non-consciously.
But lucid you was playing it consciously - it was the main objective.
Difficult to explain, what I mean by this any better - but it somehow has the character of introspective research.
Did anybody play games against DCs lucidly - besides fighting?
Oh well - and fighting - do you fighters always win?
Anybody got DCs winning against them in lucid - anything - stone scissor paper, chess?
There would then be the difference of the DCs "knowing" that they are playing as opposed to Xanous' scenario.
And could it matter?

And one answer I got:

I ended up in a freezer at one point, but over all we were well matched and it was a perfect tie. We just kept fighting and fighting with no clear victory. It definitely made me think when I woke up.

Over to you playful dreamers!
