When you find yourself replaying an old game (you learned by heart ofc), dressed with some martial art equipment, behind a Japanese stuff shop window.
Just trying to promote the game; well no one care after all

When you put 10000 small papers in the letterboxes (and you only get 1 new player)

…your Foxy betting coins are more important to you than your hungry stomach telling you to resign the game and get something to eat in the morning.

… you realize that setting the Fox client into the default Chinese language to make it look cleaner was a bad idea because you just lost 1,000,000 coins in an accidental bet just because you couldn’t read Chinese.

… you almost have a heart-attack when you are trying to get some sleep in bed after realizing that that last correspondence move probably just cost you the game, and you stay up all night worrying that your opponent will find that costly variation.

… you wake up to realize you just lost 7 out of your 8 hours of sleep for no reason because your opponent did not find that costly variation, and he even resigned the game.
