1. I'm a more gracious winner
I believe...I'm also a gracious loser, to a point though...if the winner keeps rubbing it in, then I get a little peeved, :D

3. As Alexander the Great once said," In victory, magnanimity; in defeat,defiance!"
so I guess I'm a more gracious winner. I guess I'm a little bit like this frog.

That's me too!

The Mexica code of honor says that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose; what matters is how many you take down with you.

5. I make an attempt to be gracious either way,
but depending on the company I may do a dance of triumph if I win big.

7. I'm usually a pretty good loser,
but when I win I tend to gloat shamelessly.

8. Depends on how much of a dick my competitor is.
If they are cool, I'm cool back. If they are a cock, I make them hate me.
