So the other day I was in a four-player game, as usual, when a player asked me via chat why I had targeted them in so many games in a row. Turns out they were right -- I really had crashed their carts in almost every game we both had been in which, given how often I joined games, was done in quick succession. Kind of an eye-opener, that was.
It made me wonder: when you play, how much do you prioritize attacking other players? Do you make it your priority? Or do you prefer to leave them alone and focus on getting your own carts to safety?
Usually I have collisions as my priority when I see someone else has too many gems or is about to fulfill an objective, even placing that above getting my own cart to safety. After all, if others score less points, I have better chances, that's what I keep thinking -- and why I'm pretty into blocking others with my own carts, and also place tracks in inconvenient ways so other waste turns trying to deal with them. It's kind of an aggressive playing style, I think, and it works great for me, but I have started to wonder if perhaps that may not be the best way to play Off the Rails.
