It's the hard-core addicts who play the multiple nation games. Those
spending much more money than they should because the evil pusher has
got them hooked! In fact I'm putting my house up for re-mortgage today
so that I can start a pre-aligned neutrals game, and play all 12 nations
myself. Yeah!Regards,

Cool - I have a team of very bad players called Clint 1, Clint 2 ... who
will roll over and die in a few turns for you Laurence - I have set the game
up and sent it out - that's your kitchen you owe me now please... 
On a tad more serious note - what I have found is that the more dedicated
(addicted?) players generally drop quicker when they have decided the game
is lost, but play more games. Sort of evens out in the end moneywise.
(Obviously more games = more money!)
