Ok, this should be fun once we get the hang of it. It's a variation on the current word association game, with an element of riddling. From the *current word* you think of an (associated word) but don't tell anyone, and then, associated with that word you post a new *current word*. The next poster tries to guess the (associated word) that links the two previous words, and then posts a new *current word*. An example is easier to follow:
previous two words *blue* ... *tree*
So we're looking for a word associated with both blue and tree... There may be more than one of course: (bird), (green), (spruce); someone may think of (rose), not realising that a rose is a shrub, not a tree. Let us not mock our fellow INTJfers for faulty or preposterous associations :) ... I suggest keeping your associations fairly obvious at first, go give us a fighting chance.
0th poster: Chooses (green) as the link and proposes *black* as the new word, so types:
blue (green) tree ... *black*
1st poster:
tree (forest) black ... *grid*
2nd poster:
black (power) grid ... *man*
3rd poster:
grid (iron) man ... *child*
So, start it off:
*man* ... *child*
previous two words *blue* ... *tree*
