1. The (Why I Am So Confused?) New Player
When one signs in and is fresh to the game, making sets and sequences without practice becomes so difficult that there can be a new meme to amuse the audience. The trial and tribulations that a novice experiences coupled with their frustrations can give a sense of achievement to the pros’ and send them down the memory lane. These memes remind them of what they were when they were newcomers. However, with some patience and practice, the new players become masters of the game. Equipped with skills, they spend time playing online rummy with their newly honed talent.
2. The (Don’t Tell Me How to Play) Overconfident Player
One may not have come across high-level professionals and so may have enjoyed a winning streak by playing with amateurs. When such players compete against experienced players, they lose their patience and end up declaring incorrectly. Since the game requires skill and strategy, merely getting inflated by winning some games and thinking one knows it all is a misbelief. For the next games, one must play enough to know what all strategies work and let braggers become a meme matter.
3. The (I Want This Card Only) Desperate Player
The rummy game is so energizing that there may be a desperate need for a particular card to complete the sets or sequences to declare. The facial expression of such players becomes a light moment in an otherwise intense game and makes the other people around the table giggle, holding their bellies.
4. The (Poker Face) Expressionless Player
Contrary to the one in desperate need of a card to finish, declare, and win, there is a dark horse who plays quietly without giving the slightest hint of his or her playing strategy. No one at the table expects such players to win, but they stealthily steal the victory even from the best. They put on an infectious smile upon winning while the defeated watch in awe.
5. The (I Don’t Accept Defeat) Non-Surrendering Player
They have great cards in hand, and they are deeply in with their A-game in play. As the cards are dealt, they are confident of winning with their hand. However, their one wrong move throws them out of the game or sometimes they don’t come to terms with the fact that they may not be the most skilled at the table. Their regret of loss is full of expressions. They are a soft target for the meme makers who make such incidents viral in the internet world and make such personalities overnight sensations.
