Don...this falls more under the category of "tradition" than "tension."
Dravyk and are are both writers and have worked together on many projects. We found we have a similiar sense of humor (i.e. warped, disturbed and polysyllabic) and love to toss words at each other. We play "verbal smackdown" as often as possible because we both have a rather rare quality: we find losing more fun than winning. In our version of the game, having youre "opponent" toss a line at you that leaves you speechless, that you simply can not top, is a rush. It's simply no fun to play a game you always win.
Nick has harrassed us about this since the beginning of time.
Nick also plays a pretty intense and excellent game, himself.
Dravyk, Nick, Anthony and I have known each other since the "C.O.N.D.O.M. Project" was a simple threaded board...and many other things were a lot more simple, too.
I do realize that anyone coming in to it cold might wonder about it...like the guest brought to a big family gathering might wonder "what in the hell is WITH you people?"
