Jazz's experiment is great, and to be lauded in his transposition (intentional or not) to the cyber-medium. But I cannot participate, because I've played it before. It stems from an old paper-and pencil game apocryphally (sp? - I don't trust Ænigma on that) attributed to our old French friends, the Dada folks. The game is the same, BUT you write two or three full lines, then just half a line... fold down all you've written except that half line and then pass the paper along to the next participant. Therein lies the real fun, especially when themes are continued without any knowledege of what was written before hand (pun intended, I guess). Freud and Jung would certainly have something to say about THAT!

Our own resident Annastrophe mentions: The game is the same, BUT you write two or three full lines, then just half a line... fold down all you've written except that half line and then pass the paper along to the next participant.
I took part in an oil painting like that once. Each person would paint a vertical inch and lower a screen so that only the bottom few millimeters were visible. What we got when we were done was a painting with clearly visible transitions at three inch intervals.
It was destroyed in the Old Crawley Mansion Fire of 1974.
