Ah, that is one magnificent cephalopod! Even leaving the psychic bit out (after all, he could be just crazy) still makes him a fascinating character. I wonder if there are a subgroup of octopi who suffers from mania? In my write-up of Mathias Chikalwe Station, the octopoid cloning-vat manager Dr Federated Opaque sounds like a match in terms of crazy energy (although I played him more as a super-multitasking Asperger person). Meanwhile the Followers of the Tentacled Buddha warn that while sport is amusing, one should not get too attached to zero-sum games.
