I once joined a couple of game groups to send them an invitation to join the Society for the Prevention for Misuse of Homophones. Then I deleted my membership.
gautami, sometimes trivia is what can make the story real. In my Attack of the Drive-In Banshees, it is the trivia that sets the scene for a 1960's trip to the horror show at the outdoor movie theater. Likewise in Broomstick Bazooka, mentioning the transistor radio, and Beach Boys tune sets the scene for that story about two rascals getting themselves in trouble when school was out for the summer. Those are just two examples of trivia popping up in my anthology:
Outdoor movie theater? LOL... I don't think I've heard that from anyone under 80 in a looooong time. We still have a Drive-in in our area. And it's still in operation. I LOVE drive-in movies
OK, here's a really good game. You will need a baseball bat. The game begins when you tell us, and then sign off. We will begin to time you at that point. Grab the baseball bat, and place the large end on the ground, as you press your forehead to the smaller end at the handle. Now circle the bat, running around the bat 17 times without removing your forehead. Then let go of the bat, run around your dining room table, then go to your p.c. and sign back into gather. Your time will stay posted until another challenger beats it. Good luck.
Wow, these are some strange remarks. You might notice that on the "What's Happening Today" article, the VP is attempting to address this issue. I don't care about games one way or another. Some are fun; most are stupid, but to each his own. The real problem is more people would rather play games than talk about serious things. I love books and write tons of reviews on Gather, and I've never had as many people interested in that as willing to play a game. Go figure. You've got to hunt around the crowd. There are folks who agree with you. I guess I am not so hardline about it. I just go and do my own thing. If no one is interested, so be it.

As you said, I do have the rigfht to say it HERE!
No BIGGY!
I also did not realize removing someone from my connections required their permission. I though I was "safe" in doing this on my own.

1. When they appear poetry groups
2. The utter stupidity of most of them. I can't begin to guess why some one would want to know my favorite color
I would add something to G's list. I never send general e mails nor do I ever ead them
