My example has nothing at all to do with the people who are playing right 
now. I think that there is something qualitatively different about a solo 
win, and if you're shooting for that you'll be doing something different 
than if you're not. My example doesn't turn on that point, however; it 
still makes sense in the context of aiming for a shared win.
