Let's play chain reaction! like the gameshow, say a word, and next user says it in another form. EXAMPLE: User 1: Base Ball User 2: Ball Hog User 3: Hog Warts this keeps going and going for a long chain reaction! Note: if word is impossible to use, make a note of it and start a new one, or wait for someone else to answer it. LET'S PLAY CHAIN REACTION!
(Two word responses only TFP, other than sideposts like this. You were correct to use the word Mark first, but the objective is to use another single word that creates a common phrase. You could have used Mark up/down/Antony/Twain... Since the terms "Mark of Sparta" or "Mark Sparta" don't bring up any Google results other than a few chat pages, this was a very poor choice, but I'll go with it anyway)
