Do I have to vote? I don't want to be part of a feud.

Clarence, yours are always really specific and obscure. That glass eye one was particularly hard because it was both a guess who and a guess what.

Nich, your answers are often questionable, partially because of the objects you choose.

My favourite ones are the ones where it's a really common item (like the one I did a while ago that was a blind), because most people know what they are and therefore are in with a chance of guessing, but still have to ask the right questions. Obscure things with tricky answers lose their fun after the first time.

But also, this is a game, and quite often it feels like when someone announces the answer (or it is guessed) people start sniping. Chances are the answers aren't intended to be misleading and it is a genuine mistake. That I don't like.

I'm going to say Nich, simply because a misleading or incorrect answer in a guessing game will throw everything off.

Seriously guys. The correct answer is personguy.

personguy did what, one or two? And they were terrible. And he has not done one since. The one you had that was A Stroke from just a couple weeks ago... that was awful. :D

I'd like to say the idea was great.

The idea was a good one, but you needed to do your homework. Not tangible? Not curable? What, are strokes caused by bad vapours or tea leaves? Yeah, a little research and that could have been a good one.

I do admit I botched it. But the glass eye of a specific person? That's just straight up stupid.

I would not say it was stupid, maybe just waaay too specific. Also, back in the 1950s the eye very well may have been glass, rather than acrylic. See how tricky it gets from both sides when you have an obscure item?

I did try my best to answer all questions and did research the whole time. Many questions instead of just yes or no I would put "doubtful or technically or something more if it really wasn't just a yes or no, cause not everything in the world is just yes or no
