It's a weird game, for sure. On Improbable Research, there's a post about this funky little game of colored dots and no rules. Just move the dots around the screen if you'd like, get your friends to all log on at the same time and build a picture or spell something out. The game, Steal, even has a profile on Facebook.
Random, I know. Lame if you think about it too much. On the other hand, it's an interesting peek into human nature. The things we find entertaining! And watch how strangers steal your fortress of colored dots for their seemingly random piles of hues. It's craziness. PLAY HERE.
According to Gary Carstensen, the game's creator, on the video below: "This is one week of activity of my game called “steal” where anonymous users are free to arrange the balls. Sometimes the users coordinate to make shapes, symbols, and words. Every second in the video was 30 minutes in real life. This was approximately May 2 through May 9.
