I play in about half a dozen games concurrently. If I don't get it from the
judge or the person is negligent in putting in the name of the game, I
don't know which game it's for. Also, IMHO, it's more "in the spirit of the
game" to just do it via the judge and part of the FUN (yes, FUN!) of the
game is not necessarily knowing whether or not press is true or not.
