  The point is not who wins but how people relate to
each other.  The OU is full of rivalries, distrust,
misinformation, rumours, misunderstandings and
prejudice.  It is a natural breeding ground for
generalisations like "Plutomancers are manipulative
pricks.", "Cleomancers are wimps.", "Thantomancers
need psychiatric help" (this one is true).  These
attitudes determine to some extent how people treat
each other.  Would you trust a Cleomancer to protect
your child when everyone knows they're wimps?  You
know you can't trust an amormancer and who lends their
car to an entropomancer?  Probably another
entropomancer it's worth a minor charge.
