What's wrong with you guys?

Stop playing 4E.

I believe the implication is traditional games like board games and card games.

Winning a board/card/war game isnt preceded by waves of adrenalin.

Could it be? Should it be?

Honour, respect, humility, knowing it will amount to nothing etc.

Winning a game, although a joyous experience, means that the game is over, and that is sobering and somber. The smile is for delight, and the nod is for respect.

Let's take a moment to acknowledge the moment that has passed.

An athlete is typically engaged in strenuous aerobic activity up to the moment of judgment, which amplifies emotional responses for bio-chemical reasons.
We are not disembodied minds of pure logic.

>Honour

My adversary does me great dishonor by treating my defeat at his hand as if it were a mere trifle.
