I may need to remind people that croquet is a gentlemen's game. A gentlemen is someone that is tough, say, he could do something for a few hours. Especially if that thing is something he only does once a week.

Another part of croquet is ettique. The gentlemen idea comes into this as well. When a gentlemen performs badly at something, his character, honor, and the very ettique (or essense) of the game would prevent him from acting less than expected. When a gentleman, or just man wins something, he's happy he has succeeded, but he doesnt gloat. At the same time, when a gentleman, or man, loses, he takes it as a setback but does not pout. A simpleton can simply be happy when he is winning, but angered if he loses, becuase that is the character of a simpleton, it is simple.
