Some of the posts appear to be true associations, others are clever and obviously thought-out; many have explanations in [ white ]. I think the thought-out posts are more interesting, since we're not in a shrink's office. What do y'all think the point of this game is?

BTW, I started a new thread rather than interrupt the flow. [considerate e]

well, I must admit that I sometimes take the best word out of the first two or three that come into my mind... occasionally hoping to influence the following word. I think this game has led to a bit of insight into the people playing, more so than I would get from "true" WA... though maybe we need to start a strict WA topic.

nah.

To quote sheepishlion:

...put down the first word that comes into their mind on seeing that word, and so on.

Knowing this group, I'm hoping we'll come up with some interesting words.

I'd say the rules and the point are *virtually the same thing here.

If one was looking at another's body language/reaction one might have more point.

for me,the first thing that comes to mind on seeing many of the words is, "there's no way that this is the first word that came to mind." :}
