Let me quote for you a passage from the Social Contract, which we  
*ALL* agree to before we can play BattleMaster:

"You can not win BattleMaster. Therefore, playing together is more  
important to us than playing against each other. We expect you to  
play the game as you would play a board game with good friends, and  
to value fair play above any victory or power."

Anyone who plays BattleMaster to "win" is already in the wrong  
mindset, and is likely to be bad for the game, unless they can be  
persuaded from that path.

Now, don't get me wrong: I used to think that way myself, before I  
understood the true purpose behind the game, so I know that people  
can be redeemed.  But it's *not* the right way to play the game.
