It seems to me that the intermittent topics within some Thread Game OPs as well as the _rai·son d’ê·tre_ of one entire OP have become a place where posters are asked and answered more or less truthfully (if the spirit of the players is in tune with the game) regarding the in-real-life facts and opinions behind the usernames. I’m thinking (Feb 2018) of many intra-OPs (occasional group questions) in the last year or so [??] of **[Baker’s Dozen](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=573445)** and, in particular, the brand new **[Have You Ever…?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=848325)**, which is only like that in premise, and is an even better example of what I suspect is something new as a way of interaction in the forum. FTR, I participate as intra-thread participant often and I think it a very endearing and pleasant aspect of getting to know some of the people in SD who view it as a community of real people who don’t fight. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thread-games-have-the-kind-questions-within-threads-and-responses-become-more-personal/816096)._
