Re: ? for the shrinks: why do players do THIS....?
If they know the player coming in, they may be absolutely right to want that seat. For example, if changing seats would put a maniac on their right, while staying put would put him on their left, they SHOULD fight for the seat.
If the new player is a chain smoker, drunk, or babbler, they may want to get away from him or put him where he will have the least negative effect. For example, if the smoke would blow from seat 3 into my face, but I would not feel it in seat 3, I'd ask for a change to seat 3.
If they don't know the new player, I have no explanation for their behavior.
