Subject:       Re: Collective Absence


Having played this game several times, I have been interested to see 
how each time there is great diversity of result. Within this 
divergence there are always elements of convergence, for instance, 
the recurrence of animal imagery. (I just wrote "animal injury" very 
strange, but appropriate parapraxis).

It would be foolish to try to find too much in a single round of a 
game such as this, but it does, I think, point out possibilities. I 
have found that a too frequent repetition of Collective Absence 
becomes quite wearing, but it remains fruitful and I would suggest 
returning to it at intervals, with an emphasis on the interval.

Please, if anyone has any comments on the imagery or how each 
person's contribution fits with or contrasts with others, any common 
themes that seem worth pursuing, please do so.

Stuart
