I've been biting my tongue because it's all just for fun, but it really is becoming pointless with some of the entries being so tenuously linked. Seeing it in the 3 degrees thread too.Finally. Someone that agrees with me. That's why I stopped participating in this. It's become a joke.

So, if you sit down with a few friends to play Monopoly, and The Banker decides to play their own version, wherein on each turn they ignore the number on the dice and move to wherever they like on the board and buy the property, then put a hotel on it without plunking down the money to do it, ignore "Go To Jail" cards because they say it doesn't apply to The Banker, and decide to collect $200 on every turn, not just when they go around the board, your answer is, "oh well, it's just a game"?It's just a game. Sometimes, the echoes are awesome. Sometimes, not so much. And sometimes someone plays who seems to not quite be with the program.

WHAT game? It ain't Monopoly any more, that's for sure, and that's the point. So, is this game "Visual Echo" or it is "Post Any Photo and Pretend It's Linked to the Previous Photo in Some Totally Obscure Way"?
So, you don't think it's appropriate for the other players to tell The Banker that they don't approve, that they WANT TO PLAY the game they ALL sat down to play, and that The Banker is the one that needs to get with the program or leave the game? No, everyone else should have THEIR fun ruined and leave the game instead if they don't like the way The Banker is playing.So, if you sit down with a few friends to play Monopoly, and The Banker decides to play their own version, wherein on each turn they ignore the number on the dice and move to wherever they like on the board and buy the property, then put a hotel on it without plunking down the money to do it, ignore "Go To Jail" cards because they say it doesn't apply to The Banker, and decide to collect $200 on every turn, not just when they go around the board, your answer is, "oh well, it's just a game"?It's just a game.

Yes, basically, my answer is "it's just a game." Now, under the scenario you describe, I'll grant that I'd be frustrated-- it would no longer be a game I was enjoying playing, so I would quit playing it and go find something else to do.
