The game of forms

AKA The Oldest Game of All played in the sandman

Rules:
A player start by picking a form. Then you (a diffrent player) pick something else, and describe how it could defeat the thing the former player is (explain how it beats or trumps the last described form and you EMPHASIZE the impact).

the game continues one after another until what ever the a player has chosen can not be beaten.

You shouldn't leap through scales of being- you take one step above the thing, so the interactions between them seem clear. e.g. jumping from "Horse" to "Atomic Bomb" makes no sense. consider waiting later into the game before jumping into abstracts.

▼Example

Choronzon: I am a dire wolf, prey-stalking, lethal prowler.

Dream: I am a hunter, horse-mounted, wolf-stabbing. And I feel the grass beneath my hooves, the flanks between my legs.

Choronzon: I am a horsefly, horse-stinging, hunter-throwing.

Dream: I am a spider, fly-consuming, eight legged.

Choronzon: I am a snake, spider-devouring, poison-toothed.

Dream: I am an ox, snake-crushing, heavy-footed. I feel the snake writhe beneath my hoof, its spine crushed.

Choronzon: I am an anthrax, butcher bacterium, warm-life destroying.

Dream: I am a world, space-floating, life-nurturing.

Choronzon: I am a nova, all-exploding… planet-cremating.

Dream: I am the Universe—all things encompassing, all life embracing.

Choronzon: I am anti-life, the beast of judgement. I am the dark at the end of everything. The end of universes, gods, worlds… of everything. Sss. And what will you be then dreamlord?

Dream: I am hope.

i will go first.

I am a human. persistent, inventive and intuitive.

Re: The game of forms

i am the human intelligence. unstoppable, inventive, abstractly thinking, but self-destructive and will eventually end humanity with the fruits of it's own labor

Re: The game of forms

that makes no sense. if i am human and you are human intelligence. you are me. my beating me, you beat yourself. the point is to be unbeatable. not self defeating...

but whatever.

I am a nuclear war. ending all life on earth.
