A lot of one point words so far.

wandu, what do you mean one point word?

I accept Ed's idea "We quit if it gets back to RAIN" but I do not know should I try to help reach RAIN or to defense it.

What about splitting into two groups: nicks A-M try to reach RAIN, and nicks L-Z try to avoid it.

It is just an idea of a game. I see some traps also, e.g. additional rules are necessary to forbid more than 1 or 2 consecutive entries from one group. What about judging if association is valid?

Since it's MUCH harder to reach rain legitimately, then something like nicknames A-S should try to reach it, and only T-Z try to avoid it! We would need more help trying to reach it!

But I agree, judging it would probably just be too difficult. Still, it might be fun.

Wandu was almmost certainly just making a joke that if this were an Empathy game, most of the answers listed would be one-point answers. For example, if the Empathy expression for tomorrow were PLAN, I don't think many people are going to answer CLAN. Likewise with HORSE if the expression was HOCKEY, MAIN if the expression was MAN, etc.

Okay, each of you try this:

You must begin with MUSHROOM and finish with COMPUTER in as few steps as possible.

We vote on the player who does it most elegantly and efficiently. (You can't vote for yourself.)

I won't enter and I won't say how many steps I can do it in, but I'll post my entry later.
