I found the site and got a few of my friends to play with me.  We chat online while we play which is why nobody chats in game.  I obviously knew what I was doing more than they did when I first got them to play, so I won a number of them.  You can clearly see when playing against long standing members, I don't fair so well.

Some still play a little, but mainly at the request of me.  They don't come play on their own.
