You might have read Li-Kim’s report on our impromptu Monopoly night. The general consensus was that, before too long, I had become a wheeling and dealing tycoon (or as fellow game-players might have put it; “pushy and annoying”).
In my defence – and I made this argument at the time – if we didn’t broker any deals between ourselves, the game wouldn’t go anywhere. And I proved this by going bankrupt almost immediately after Ben and Carol left.
Why did it take Ben and Carol leaving for me to lose my shirt (figuratively speaking, of course)? Well, see, Carol took it upon herself to keep Ben from making any stupid deals, and as Lindsay and I were trying to wheedle him unfairly out his property every five seconds, and seeing as he was easily talked into selling his properties for less than he paid for them, it was a tough job for ol’ CK. But that said, what a coupla party poopers!
