I've got quite the game collection, and that kind of competitive behavior annoys the hell out of me.
If I'm learning a game, I stumble along, take my turns, and figure out how everything works as we go through the process. I don't expect to win, and if I do, it's probably because I got some lucky rolls/draws.
I have a few friends/family that get angry when they aren't winning, and nothing pisses me off during a game more than that.
Now, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with getting frustrated with a bad draw, or when someone has the perfect counter in their hand, but, if your enjoyment of the game is solely determined by how much you're winning, you're ruining it for everyone else and you aren't getting invited to the next game night.
Yeah. Even my own team was pissed at me. I took a risky move that worked out in the end because I used their weakness against them. That's part of the reason that BotC is so much better than many social deduction games - it's often not entirely solvable, even with optimal play. And just let people have fun sometimes, who cares about making the "objectively best decision" at all times.
