Your life is game.
Your life is race.

indians is a wrong name or concept.

I think he was being sarcastic or was simply fed up when he made that comment in Turkish, because some of us were ribbing him. I personally didn't think it was offensive but of course we are all entitled to interpret it in the way we see fit. No problem. Maybe - but not the first time he has made that comment and don't forget this is the person who said in an earlier post that only someone who speaks at least 3 languages can be considered cultured! A tad condescending don't you think

If you have nothing to say, then don't say it. Don't make offending comments like 'Bravo you little girl'. Not only is it unfair, it makes him look really silly and not that innocent and lighthearted. It makes him seem a little conceited. I was speaking about his thread topics in general.

Quoting Daydreamer:

Apart from the famous game of skyscraper, my second favourite game is guessing what silly post will Yilgun produce next. So far, none of my types came true, so I think I'll bet on a post as follows:

"There are many car makes in the world. The most famous are:

BMW
Volkswagen
Audi
Opel
Fiat
Ford
Renault
Mazda
Honda

What cars do people drive? What car is the best?"

And what are your types?

I think you are very mean to pinch Yilgun's ideas (I am sure this one is on his list) and you are no good at it anyway because you spelt everything correctly! .

You can see it if you get this issue.

As usual I am a little late reading this thread, so I want to add my favourites games (or I will stamp and scream until I am sick!)

* Cowboys and Indians - we made bow and arrows from willow and reeds (even with the threat of wiels disease) and guns from sticks
* British Bulldog - tag game, a very "ruff" tag game
* Cops and robbers
* Football
* Snowballs (in winter of course )
* Make tree houses

and of course,

* fishing

So many I can't remember.........

oh and yes, I too was a tomboy, being the only girl in my school year ( just in case you were wondering, and if you are not asleep already, I grew up in a VERY rural area and no we are not all related )

and sports

Athletics
* 100m, 200m, 100m hurdles
* shot put and discus
* Netball and hockey

and I think you are all being a bit mean on Yilgin!

Quoting peacetrain:

There is a great wealth of literature out there on this subject . . . the way games impact on our lives in both positive and negative way. It's one of those debates that will rage on ad infinitum.

Quoting libralady:

I would like to make a comment here and show my sensitive side.

I think some of the posts above are a bit harsh aimed at Yilgin. He is a long term member of this site, who tries to post things that he feels are important. He does not provoke argument or squabbles nor does he display his political side. He is working hard to learn English and to understand the sense of humour that is portrayed here.

May I suggest that if you do not like this type of thread then don't add to it.

from totally different shelf but the topic of this thread made me think of the book by the author of transactional analysis Dr Eric Berne'Games people play'
http://www.ericberne.com/
http://www.relationships-explained.com/pages/Games.html
in my country the most popular game seems to be'mine is worse than yours'and 'I've got you'

nothing in common with outdoor games more with chess

Quoting Daydreamer:

Dear Peacetrain,

Being a teacher you must know the difference between authoritative stating that games changed the world and providing arguments for it. If Yilgun says his post showed how the games he listed changed the world, I find it absurd. There is absolutely I am not to judge how useful or useless Yilgun posts are to everybody, I am speaking for myself only as I simply find his style somewhat annoying and see no point of listing things the way he usually does. I'd love to read about the impact of games on the world, but his post was nothing like it.

Perhaps Yilgun didn't need to make a list, but we all have our quirky/annoying little traits.

I respect your view, we can't like everyone's style, that's life.

btw . . . one annoying trait of mine is to go off topic . . . ie I don't think I've restricted myself to your comments DD. I waffle too.

Forgive me?
