Socialising has been described as a game. Is WP a game?

Good answer. But seriously, there seems to be more going on here than simply the exchange of information.

ok, sure. Communicating is a game, of sorts. But; I think aspie communications are much more detail orientated, and in depth, by nature. We see behind the fronts and facades. We question why, when others are busy propping up egos and scenarios. We take things apart because we dont like what we see or hear. So much of this is irrelevant, because we cant change the world. We see more, better; my personal opinion. I think WP isn't so much about aspergers, but more so about the NT world, and i think that's kind of sucky.

Just imagine; if we ignored the NT mindset for one day, and actually communicated the way we communicate, without referencing ourselves, to what I consider, the inferior mindsets of the NT lifestyle.

Yes, socializing is a game. Here is the game guide, complete with comprehensive definitions of "game," "pastime," and "activity," if I remember correctly.

This is a topic I've already made to ask about games.
