I remember two other things about this game.
1) Nobody in this game ever fought on behalf of “the queer.” Nobody even considered it. I certainly did not consider it. It wouldn’t have made sense. Anyone doing so would have broken the game so fundamentally that it would have stopped making any sort of sense.
2) Being “the queer” was not fun. You didn’t particularly want to be “the queer.” You’d do what it took to avoid it.
