See What You Made Me Do

The aim of this game is vindication. Dynamically the mild form may be related to premature ejaculation, the hard form to rage based on ‘castration’ anxiety. It is easily acquired by children.

Now I've Got You, You Son Of A Bitch

When one player lays in wait for another player to make a mistake in order to unleash an emotional attack, this is NIGYSOB. It's a brutal game with a terrible payoff.

Kick Me

This is played similarly to wearing a sign that reads ‘Please Don’t Kick Me’. The temptation is almost irresistible, and when the natural result follows, White cries piteously, ‘But the sign says “don’t kick me”.’ Then he adds, ‘Why does this always happen to me!?'

Debtor

In 'Debtor' the game isn't about paying off the debt, but in gaining the debt. Playing with the collections agencies is the thrill. How long and how far can the game go without paying the debt back is what the game revolves around.

Alcoholic

In game analysis, alcoholic isn't about those with a chemical dependency but rather those who play a game through their drinking. Aiming for an ulterior motive with their drinking either through manipulation of others through feeling bad for them or gaining their assistance in drinking further.
