You can tell things about people from how they play games. For example, though I didn't really know Hegemony, I made a few deductions from playing one game of Literati (scrabble) online with him. He was careful and paid attention, even to the letters I was holding. He was patient and didn't make me forfeit the game, though I made him wait a few times while I tried to test out strange word combinations. He also taught me some words I didn't think of forming, even though it meant I scored for them. And most importantly, he didn't make me feel bad about losing.
