Because I can.

I feel like playing a game.

No, wait. That's not quite it.

I feel like playing a game of words, or of ideas, or of both, mixed together, with anyone and everyone who'd care to play, in the comments here.

I offer three options:

• the game of questions (as in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead)
• the oldest game (as in The Sandman issue A Hope in Hell, which is collected in the Preludes and Nocturnes TPB) [scroll down past the Danger Mouse bit], or
• another game of your choosing, if you tell me how it's played.

As for where, well, the comments here will do nicely, won't they?

(Also, seeing as how this is the Interweb, any rules about hesitation will be completely ignored.)

I'm tricky moves and sneaky workarounds, outwitting the bosses who barely manage microsoft word.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I'm a pair of scissors, cutting the network cable.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I'm a cute maintenance guy with some duct tape and a wink.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I'm the harassment policy, banning potentially suggestive behaviours including the wink.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

(but not the duct tape?)

I'm an anarchist movement, protesting against authoritarian rules and policies.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

(Counsel says the duct tape's fine, but fuzzy handcuffs would cross the line.)

I'm an extremist wing, dividing the movement, discrediting the manifesto.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I'm a really charismatic leader, persuasive, unifying.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I'm a smear campaign, mud-slinging, reputation-destroying.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I think we're back around to the apathetic public.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I am time, changing even that which the people won't.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I am history, which always repeats itself no matter how many times you go round.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I am propaganda, subverting history to steal hearts and minds.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I am an education in scepticism, always handy to the informed reader.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I am fabricated evidence, proving lies beyond a doubt.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I am contradictory evidence, making the whole debate look absurd.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I am absurdism, making entertainment of the debate.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I am Death, who always gets the last laugh.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

(Oooh... going there, are we?)

I am a lifetime, that which Death can never have.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I am the sea of humanity, in which one lifetime gets lost.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I am the collective consciousness, in which one lifetime may be made eternal.
