I feel stupid asking this, but what is the point of this exercise?

Seriously - I don't understand what I have achieved by choosing a word and being designated a tribe - beyond the literal interpretation of that.

No snark intended, I've returned to the site but there's no about page.

I've chosen a word as per the site name.

Mission accomplished?

I agree with you. A word of explanation from the OP or the author(s) would be interesting... For now, I’m just intrigued.

anxiety. patience. truth. the three tribes lived in harmony. then, everything changed when the anxiety tribe attacked.

it appears that the purpose is to join a tribe and vote for the worst option (usually "poop"), thus restoring order between the tribes.
