A lot of one point words so far.

magic

wand

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.

wand - magician - entertainer - dancer - Gene Kelly - singing - rain

Sorry, couldn't resist!

:)

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.

mushroom - atomic bomb - Edward Teller - John von Neumann - computer :)

mushroom - apple - computer

mushroom - mario bros - computer :)

mushroom - pizza - programmer - computer

mushroom - cup - Caps Lock- computer ;-)

What about universal 3-step solution:

anything1 - Google -anything2

anything1 - Flying Spaghetti Monster - anything2

kpato - Flying Spaghetti Monster - klaashaas

kpato - klaashaas

works too :)

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is there even (and especially) if it's not there. ;)

My method is not nearly as efficient a few of the previous answers:

mushroom - toadstool - frog - animal - elephant - mouse - computer

However…

Going from pizza straight to programmer? yper, I don't see the connection!

Even going straight from mushroom to apple is a bit of a stretch!

It is known that all real programmers drink only coke and eat only pizza - at least after more than 28 hours in front of a computer screen.

It's easy (just a phone call needed), you don't have to stand up and go to a table to it (only to pen the door to the pizza boy) and a few mushrooms near the space button are not really a burdain :)

Yper, I was told it's cherry coke. :)

No, it's said that real programmers drink Jolt cola. However, that seems to be a more modern thing. All the real programmers did their work in the 50s and 70s, with some late work done in the 70s. They lived on coffee.

The only thing I know about real programmers is that they avoid the use of certain programming languages …

Real programmers can write fortran progams in any computer language.

Mushrooms - infected mushrooms - digital music - computer

gregorio has the most elegant links.

I vote on furbolero. Short, convincing associations.

Mushroom, Vegetable, Fruit, Apple, Computer

Oh…I see I unwittingly “stole” furbolero's association…ah well.

I like the game Mr Collins came up with.

It was an Empathy reference I was making, although my jest was that none of the “answers” in the thread had been given by more than one person. Alternatively I was going to say that getting back to “rain” would be worth two points.

Another one:

Snow to Pizza

Mushroom - cloud - Internet - computer.

it think

wandu try to fix the association

of furbolero

mushroom - apple - computer

has no sense

maybe some one…can propose another game?

maybe this…

---—————————————

PIZZA TOPPINGS -> TREES

forbidden use “game of empathy related conceptes..like “last expressions”

snow - cold - hot - coffee - drink - food - pizza

pizza toppings - anchovies - fish - bird - nest - trees

pizza toppings - food - fruits - trees

pizza toppings - peppers - green - trees

snow - white - sauce - pizza

wwoooooow

sorry wandu

now i see your propose

“snow - pizza”

mmm

snow - white - cheese - pizza

kpato, furbolero's associations have no sense?

exactly which link has no sense?

mushroom is a vegetable, like an apple. And Apple is a company that produces computer soft and hardware…

Makes much sense to me :)

snow - skiing - mountains - the Alps - Italy - pizza

snow-snowball-meatball-pizza

snow - cold - hot - pizza

snow - hut - pizza

Well done, Taral! ;)

truly elegant.

snow - four seasons - pizza

Less elegant, I know …

white elephant

i like dustin links

and…taral !

---–

hey gregorio

mushroom to apple …its very…bad link i think…maybe some more especific its more good.

---————————————————

white -> gray -> elephant

“mushroom to apple …its very…bad link i think…maybe some more especific its more good.”

Yes. That's why mine had an extra two steps in it. I wasn't trying to “Fix” it though, I simply missed furbolero's response when I posted. That's what I get for thinking I'm clever, I look lazy.
