I feel stupid asking this, but what is the point of this exercise?<p>Seriously - I don't understand what I have achieved by choosing a word and being designated a tribe - beyond the literal interpretation of that.<p>No snark intended, I've returned to the site but there's no about page.<p>I've chosen a word as per the site name.<p>Mission accomplished?
This is clever in its simplicity. I suggest that the votes on the "choose a word" page for your tribe be hidden though, to avoid everyone just piling on the highest vote and encouraging people to look through the list.

I hope I remember to come back tomorrow. I could see something like this becoming my new tab page. I like to have a word or thought of the day and doing it as a group exercise with one of these “tribes” sounds delightful.
Update: after dropping vote counts, I'm now seeing words "win" in a tribe with a comically small percentage of the vote. Don't really see the reason to keep voting when "relax" wins in the red tribe with only 17 votes out of 600+ tribe members. Compare that to "kindness" in the yellow tribe which won with 449 votes out of ~1000 when vote counts were enabled.
Unfortunately it's easily broken by a bad actor. There's no unique identifier in its POST request, which allows unlimited upvoting of a particular option.<p><a href="https://imgur.com/a/jnwgfRs" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/jnwgfRs</a><p>Though maybe this is simply bringing balance to the word choices. I'm very surprised the top choices were actually reasonable, and not Boaty McBoatface-type words at all.
