Many people think sharks will eat them. Like the Great White in Jaws. Truth is, they will eat you. Whenever you go into water, be afraid. If the water is in your bathtub, who knows, maybe a shark will eat you. The question though, is 'why'. Why do sharks eat you? To find the answer, I look to Quake.

When you're in dm6, if a player finds you, they might attack. They do this because your hide is of value to them.

When you're in t4, the same thing happens.

When you're in the shower, a shark might attack.

See the similarities?

The shark uses teeth and jaws to eat you. The Quake player uses lightning guns and rail guns and machine guns and plasmaguns and shotguns and rocket launchers. The two creatures are both hungry. They both need food to survive.

I'm only kidding, of course. Sharks will not eat you. They don't like humans because humans are not water creatures. You like the things you like because of your ancestors. Taste is acquired over billions of years. If you are diving or snorkeling with sharks, you don't have to worry. If you move towards them, they may attack in self-defense. Long as you remain still or do not move towards them, there is no need to fear.

Also, not everyone plays Quake for trophies. Some people like the way it feels.
