I've found the secret to ultimate fun in popping.
It's to put something on the line when you play your game. Earlier tonight, an unidentified player joined my game and immediately asked me to join the "cheez" clan. Now, being that the the clan's name is cheeze and my screen name is themage, and they don't rhyme, I was loathe to join the clan. But he asked so hard that I told him I'd join his clan if he beat me fair and square in a game of pop-pop in expert mode. Now I didn't know how much this game meant to me until halfway into the first round, when I found myself breathing hard, my heart pounding, and playing one of the best games of pop-pop I've ever played. The excitement that came from having to put something on the line if I lost made the game hugely fun. I just wish there was something I could do every time I played that was as fun as defending myself from the cheez clan. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Anybody else wish they could get into some competitive pop-pop? Any suggestions for making your pop-pop game more fun? post 'em here.

I had a very fun game against PRPopRocks - I didn't want to join his clan, but I did want to make them look stupid. ( :)) I had already, that day, beaten 2 PopRocks players (and since then have beaten 2 more without a loss), and I wanted to move in and kill the leader. I played really well but he still handed me my ass.

I've played an excellent match against sennah from the Swedish World Cup team. (I play for team Denmark).
He beat me two rounds, so all he had to do, was take one more round to win the match. A very important World Cup Match. But I wouldn't let him win. I fought so hard that eventually I won the next three rounds - and the match. There's nothing so sweet, as a well deserved win.

------------------
The answer to the question is, obviously, 42!

Any match that makes me forget where I am in sheer exhilaration of frenzied play is a great one. Just sit down and play a furiously fast, fun game.

Edit: It is assumed of course, that I won't win from such games. But if by 'exhilerating game' you mean winning then I usually go and mow down some newbies.

Nope, exhilarating doesnt mean winning... it just means that it's an exhilarating experience...if you play on expert and last for 15 minutes, it's exhilarating.

I had a game with Synotic (sp) that was really cool. I even won, which surprised me...of course, he wasn't very talkative afterwards unfortunatly.

I played this MCz (Mad Cowz) kid like six times. He was ok but I beat him six times.
