Okay, so no variants on the name "Playing Chicken" allowed at all, then! I think [=SeanMurrayI=] just illustrated the reason, albeit unintentionally. [[SincerityMode Thanks for that, by the way!]] People will read the title, mistakenly think that it's just a trope about the game'''*''' of "Chicken", and will add their example without bothering to read even the laconic version of the description. The game Chicken is way too defined in people's minds to be used in a trope name that has very little to do with the actual game of Chicken.

Though really, given that we have (most of) this one already — unless the sponsor adds some clarifications, I will be discarding this one. Not immediately though; I'll leave it alone for awhile, in case someone wants to work WikiMagic on it.

'''[=*=]''' Not that I would ever consider "Chicken" to be a game. Just pretend I'm making that bunny ears gesture with my hands whenever I say the word "game". Prevents me from having to use ScareQuotes everywhere.
