The Ultimate Guess Who/What!
Ok, I decided to try to take one last stab at this with specific rules:
1. This is the only thread allowed for this ever.
2. One question per guesser per post until an answer has been given.
3. Yes or no questions only and yes or no answers only.
4. Winner plays the next game or passes to a specific person or leaves it open for the next poster to start.
5. You can play a who or a what without disclosing if it's a who or a what. People have to guess this out.
6. Don't pick something overly retarded to play.
7. If you can't say yes or no then be up front about it and don't give incorrect yes/no replies to throw people off.
8. 50 question or 2 week limit which ever comes first. After that the player must reveal the answer and another person must start the game (who ever posts first)
9. Making a list of answers during an ongoing game is nice and helps people keep track of what's been asked so far. Repeat questions can be counted.
10. The item must never be a bread box or you will be disqualified and banned and heckled and your family shamed.
11. Rules may randomly change without notice. This may stem from people screwing up the game and sucking the fun out of it. Deal with it.
Anyone can feel free to start this off and I don't care if Reaper keeps score.

Re: The Ultimate Guess Who/What!
I'd like there to be a maximum number of questions. Like, 40. That is double the number the little travel 20 Q thingie needs.
If we don't get it by 40, then either we asked foolish questions, or the item was purposefully vague.
Reaper: is it a mineral?

Re: The Ultimate Guess Who/What!
40s too low. That's kind of giving up to early. 100 is fine unless the players give up.

Re: The Ultimate Guess Who/What!
With proper deduction 40 is more than enough.

Re: The Ultimate Guess Who/What!
Can you honestly say all of our posters use proper deduction? The other 60 is for the not so clever questions people ask.GreatZot wrote:With proper deduction 40 is more than enough.

You're probably right.
I'm going to go ahead and officially promote you to the grand authority of guessing games.
Feel free to adjust the rules I posted as you see fit

Re: The Ultimate Guess Who/What!
See, if it is not mineral nor vegetable, then it has to be animal. This is the kind of thing that led to questions not being answered correctly due to slight misunderstandings being intensified by the pressure to perform.
And yes, there is plasma, but calling that a different state of being is really splitting hairs.
Is this animal fictional?

Re: The Ultimate Guess Who/What!
Or maybe you shouldn't ask the broadest questions you can think of?

Um, when narrowing something down, one starts with broad questions. Broad > Narrow. Logic.
