Wow, you actually write novels and teach school and make such basic, basic errors of reading comprehension? "Playing" and specifically deciding against playing the crooked game is the metaphor for complaining about Hugo results without participating in the Hugo vote, as Farah insisted that Lavie must do before being allowed to bitch.
Even if this were somehow actually confusing, the "crooked game" remark followed a discussion on whether a UK resident could complain about the results of US elections, and whether an anti-war voter most vote for one of two pro-war candidates in order to complain about war.
