Collective Consciousness Hangman
help
From the mind of Projoy via The Banter Page: "One person sets a conventional hangman problem, but only other players are allowed to reveal the letters or add lines to the scaffold. Other players take guesses in turn as to which letters are in the word. The players who arbitrate over what letters are in the word are not allowed to confer. The shape of the word can only emerge through tacit mutual consent - via, in other words, the collective consciousness." (Winning move is "hanged")

My God, it's full of...
Absolutely. S _ A _ S
Positions vacant
Might one of the two be an M?
I think so
Which leaves S _ A M S. I suppose the last letter could be C, E, H, L or P.
Logic
Well, logic dictates that at least four of those guesses are wrong, so...

I'll leave it to the conciousness to decide which is right.
Hang on...
How do we know it's not SNAMS, army codeword for the South Vietnam vets who sat around in Saigon complaining of the lack of sick animals?
