“Of course, you also need to take other people with you because they know who you are, they know your gaming tastes, and they can pass it on to the other members as well. But if you move to a club like Liverpool, you can do it. “Let’s assume (and I’ve already noticed this) that there are a lot of other smart people running around here, too.
