There are trends: I seem to quite enjoy a lot of games that I am not very good at playing. Some of these games include "people" and "talking". But I do enjoy them, so that is fine. I am very often in favour of failure, of course, and, although I am also fond of (and am sometimes even better at) games such as "etiquette" and "hospitality," I have often found that making one's own amusement the primary objective is the best course to take. This is clearly the solution. Also, Liz does in fact have my copy of Les Liaisons Dangereuse. This changes everything.
