Yeah, sorry if I wrote that off too quickly Andrew.  I talked to Chris
earlier (he's having some email problems today) and he is exploring
some more substantial options with D&B as we speak.  They've already
told us they can come up with something better, so hold tight while we
spin up another edition of the paperwork! :-)

I tend to agree, a video game (in a lot of cases) sort of separates
you from everyone else.  Some of them at the D&B I visited in Maryland
about 8 or so years ago were group participation, but it was the
exception rather than the rule.  Having the option for people who are
"social'd out" is probably a plus, but we can just let those people
pay their own way.  The rest of us will all be sharing group hugs and
Fedora gang signs. ;-)
