This is a fun activity. Something that must be experienced at least once. It doesn't sound like a very nice game.
If you've never experienced it before, here's how it goes (one example anyway):
Start by identifying a serious problem. Then blame someone.
Blaming involves:
- Point a finger directly at someone unrelated to the problem
- Come up with some unfounded false accusation to apply, clearly implicating the other person
- State it loudly and unashamedly
- Watch that person shrivel in terror
The goal is to keep the
BlameSession going as long as possible.
Remember, at no point in time is anyone allowed to offer a serious remedy of the actual problem.
Bonus points for blaming people not involved in the meeting but keeping the
BlameSession alive.
The only way to end a
BlameGame occurs when it seems inevitable that the
BlameSession cannot continue. At this point, election of a
ScapeGoat should occur.
