How do YOU play the game?

[Norfleet]

Sandboxers are actually a kind of "foil" element in a multiplayer dynamic: While their lack of competitiveness basically assures that they won't win the ultimate victory, they exist, they can still potentially cause a lot of damage, and if you're in a game with other cutthroat players, the presence of these other people actually serves as a kind of foil: Launching an attack on them outright can be a mistake, since it leaves you open for attack by one of the other players, but ignoring them isn't necessarily a sound plan either, since they *DO* take up space, and could be potentially manipulated into opposing you directly or indirectly. As such, while unlikely to be the ultimate winner, they still play an important role in the game.
