What is your favourite type of forum game and why does it stay so addictive

[BadBunny]

Forum games occupy a strange but genuinely beloved corner of online community life, count to a million threads, word association chains, would you rather games, simple counting or guessing games that objectively achieve nothing at all and yet somehow keep people coming back to add just one more reply, day after day, sometimes for years on end without the thread ever actually reaching any real conclusion.

Part of the appeal seems to be the sheer low pressure nature of it, no real skill required, no risk of embarrassment, just a quick, easy way to feel briefly connected to a community between more substantial conversations elsewhere on the forum. What is your personal favourite type of forum game, and what do you think actually keeps people coming back to add just one more post to a thread that has already gone on for hundreds or even thousands of pages?
