Remember having an intense enemy (thats an equal-or close) makes any game
that much more fun to play.  Think of how glorious it feels to defeat a
hated enemy that you've had to fight for weeks (months-years).  How long
would you stay in a game that you conquered quickly?  Not long.  I had a
another player follow me into 2 games of Alamaze after I outplayed him (in
the 3rd game he took me out).   Personnaly, I wouldn't follow someone into
a game just to know that I have an enemy.  (I would also think that by your
signature you can make plenty enemies on your own.)

Another issue is underhanded playing.  If you screw someone in one game
(undeservedly) and come across the same player in another, do you think
your going to ba able to overcome your first impression?  Not likely.  Now
some people like to play this way and thats fine for them.  Every action
good or bad has a consequence.

Always remember its just a game....
