That would annoy me as well. I've always HATED forced games like that. I never planned games for our kids at their birthday parties for the same reason. Some kid always gets in a snit cause they didn't win, or whatever. Not worth the hassle.
I would have been kind of OK with the first game - the continue the story one. It was awkward, especially as I don't like team projects, antisocial being that I is...but it was OK as a warm up exercise, I guess.
But to continue making us write by theme, five or six minutes at a time - that was just ridiculous, and I didn't play along.

Aw...I feel loved - I haven't been making it to the Byzantine parish and I just had someone call to see how I was. *snif* I guess I should stop skipping out. ;-) It's a longer drive than the other parish and I guess I've just been lazy.
