They ALL play for fun. It's just for some, fun is a cup of tea and a game
of croquet on the Vicarage lawn, whilst for the rest of us fun is TOTAL
CONQUEST OF THE WORLD, AN' I WANT IT NOW, NOW, NOW, AN' I WANT ALLLL THE
OTHER SCUM TO BOW DOWN AND GROVEL AT MY FEET, AN' I'M GONNA STOMP STOMP
STOMP ON 'EM ALL!...

Is it time for my tablets again Nurse?

I'm quite lost at this time. What other reason to play would there be than
just having fun?

Well, now that there will be a list of "best players" shoved in our face
every month, there will be motivation to be at the top of the list of "best
players". And of course, to get to the top of the list, they may do things
that makes it not very fun to be in a game with them. namely, piling on to
one side to get the game over with, so they can get their points and move on
to the next game.
