Actually, in my experience, Kasumi-types (or those who can do a good job 
of acting like a Kasumi-type) tend to either win or last most of the 
game, espectially if most of the other players are men.  No matter how 
enlightened and modern we are, we _still_ can't bring ourselves to 
attack someone like that.  And since she is so sweet that she won't 
attack anyone else, by the time it's down to just her and one other 
player, that other player is going to take one look at Kasumi's totally 
untapped resources and resign.  

Seriously, I've seen it before.

Just as confirmation, my wife took second place in the first East Coast
Illuminati: New World Order tournament with a similar strategy...  Dressed
like a film noir Kodachi, acted like Kasumi, let everyone kill each other
off while they stared at her cleavage, and then trounced the one who was
left... 

So yes, it does happen...

Very well, I stand corrected. Like I said, she *could* be a surprise ...

Now, can we get back to the thread at hand? ^_^;
