For me, it's only really fun at the beginning of seasons where there are a lot of people playing and everyone is super competitive.
When it's like now, I only come on for the hugs, Gary, and to give stuff away.
I'd love it if there was a way to make the gameplay spread out over a longer amount of time, rather than just the first couple of months. But I don't have a solution or any ideas for that so I don't/won't complain.
