    I'm definitely crying on the inside, and "**sobbing**" in clan chat but to be honest I just watch it back, see where I went wrong, what I could do differently and learn from it. If I can't learn or understand it then I just avoid that base design from now on. lol

    I've lost a couple and it's because I've misread the line the troops would take and the path they should follow. Plus sometimes you just get bad luck. We're not going to win them all.

    Saying that, I particularly hate losing the last raid of the day as this leaves an extra sour and lingering taste.

    Well, I agree with you mate. This happened to me several times before, very annoying thing! I've made a complaint to SC but their response was awful! I've tried rebooting my device, using another device, rebooting my wireless router, changing the rooter, using a friend's wireless broadband, using 3G signal, etc. Nothing worked! It still happens time to time and because I'm pushing for trophies, it badly affects my progress

I've noticed I've taken a lot less deep breathes these last couple of months.

    I like Chummer's advice but yours is a very good one especially when I'm boosting my spell factory. Otherwise gems would be wasted if I stopped playing for few hours. I use deep breathing technique (and swearing/cursing technique, a lot!) but need to work on watching the replays to analyse my mistakes (hard to watch my loss again!). Luckily my clan mates are giving good at advice on my lost battles, thanks Loonatix

    Failing at an attack is pretty much normal for me, so no exceptional rage or anything! Just an average day.

    Whenever I do get lucky on an attack... *Nope, never happens*

    The only way I get good loot is through my collectors!

    Never really rage, but I do just hold my device and with my mouth slightly ajar and eyes wide open just stare mesmerized at how 3 simple fonts can bring such pain to my attack....Them 3 little fonts are of course a 4 a 9 and that dang % better known as 49%. But like others I watch the replay and see where I went wrong and how my sausage fingers dropped my wallbreakers in one big group instead of the archers and where I dropped that lovely rage spell on that poor innocent tree and or bush.
    Eventually all hearing comes back to me and the inner beast calms down and onto my next debacle of a raid.

    Lol I know that taste very well. It gives you sleeping disturbance as well!

    Hope to see you in the new clan mate.

    Ho ho ho I have so many stories of me raging when losing games, not just CoC. It gets better with age I notice, but it's still bad.

    My last iPhone died with me punching it to death. I have punched a hole in walls, cracked another phone with a stone, jammed a chair into a wall, kicked a bike to pieces, thrown stuff.

    I don't even have a mental disorder, lol! It runs in the family, my dad and his dad were the same... Well educated gentlemen and all, but they just can't cope with losses, nor can I.

    Of course I want it to change and I hope one day I'll be more level headed. I can't afford raging.

    Cool Next Button too

    I totally hate when my attack goes wrong and my hogs or giants hit traps as soon as they get to the wall...But equally I hate when I'm looking for a decent raid and sometimes have seen so many villages I automatically hit the next button as I see 400-600k of each resource or a ton of DE and I cry out NOOOOO!!! (Facepalm)...
