The game would continue until there was one person left, who had to end the game with a triumphant final category item after everybody else caved, and he or she was gloriously celebrated as the <strong>&#8220;Master&#8221;<\/strong> of that category.<\/p>\n<p>Here at RTH, we play a more freeform version of the game, and have ascribed a more <strong>Mandom<\/strong>-infused name to it as well:  <strong><em>&#8220;Last Man Standing.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong>  The rules are essentially the same, though those who moderate acknowledge it&#8217;s impossible to proclaim a &#8220;winner.&#8221;  It may in fact be the least insightful activity RTHers pursue &#8212; it&#8217;s silly, pointless, a gigantic waste of time, leads to no greater understanding of any concept, and contributes nothing to any form of &#8220;healing&#8221; whatsoever.
