Contest; Playing Along

Playing along brings peace in a particular situation, alot of people have successfully have a conversation with some troublesome people and playing along is the main thing that made it successful. This contest is an incredible one as it has given us the opportunity to talk about the word play in steemit. Special thanks to @sahmie for organizing this contest.

Knowledge and joy are the things that makes a game or activity more enjoyable when everyone plays along. In the case of knowledge, everyone playing along gets a good time when more than 60% of the people present have knowledge about the game. Everything will go smoothly and fast because there's a lower percentage of ignorant people present. As for joy, is very important in every situation in life, alot of people might have the knowledge but if the percentage of people present without joy is high, the game won't be successful at all but when everyone is happy, the game runs smoothly.

Yes I have been in several situations and I will go into the world of sports under the category of Basketball. On the 5th day of December 2024, I went to my high school area to play street basketball and I was happy to see my ex-high school classmates and they were also happy to see me. We started the game immediately and everywhere was lively, we played 3 on 3 which means it was two teams with two players and one of the guys was always raising an alarm that he will stop playing once the time is 4pm because he has a church program to attend that evening.

We kept on playing, trying to forget the fact that the game for that day won't take much time and we might not enjoy it if it ends early. It got to 4pm and the guy was aware but he kept on playing because the game kept on getting interesting and he was my team mate that day. It got to 4:30 and some of us caution him to go but he insisted that he still wants to play.

It was 5pm he realized he really needs to go and he forced himself to leave that environment so that he won't get tempted to continue playing. Immediately he left everywhere became dull and we can't be playing 2 on 2 because we are 5 in number and everyone present still wants to play. We couldn't continue the game again as we kept on discussing about basketball and drinking water. This was how the game ended and I wasn't happy with the outcome at all.

Playing along can help build stronger friendships because it makes a an activity or game scenario to be more lively and enjoyable, let's say someone joined a game he's not prepared for but with the person's knowledge or love for the game, the person successfully played along, this can give the person higher chances of winning the hearts of 80% of the people present. When we play along people admire us and we have indirectly made people see us as the best for a particular period of time.

Yes, most times I always charge my phone in betting centers because of the poor turn out of electricity in my area. There was a time the bet9ja cashier and two other guys were discussing about betting and how they have lost alot of games, before that moment we were talking about how bad our country has become, economically and they quicky switched to betting because betting has made some people very wealthy and able to overcome the bad economy of our country.

I was active in that conversation so when they switched to betting I didn't want my activeness in the conversation to reduce that moment so I kept on talking and following up with the discussion even as they were saying some terminologies in betting that I don't really understand but I said some things related to the parts of betting/some terminologies of it I understand and we all laughed together at some crazy talks.

Playing along can enhance creativity in group setting easily as long as every one is ready to give in their best and ensure that they are always active, once everyone is active in the setting, those with lower experience and skills will be able to learn alot from those with higher experience and skills. Once everyone is together, everything balances quickly.
