[QUOTE=Uncwilly;236357]20) Is it [SPOILER]The Game, which I have lost[/SPOILER]?
Spoilerized for your protection.[/QUOTE]No.

BTW: someone mentioned the answer in the discussion. You guys all want to guess some more, or shall I reveal and put you out of your misery?

Brainstorming?

[QUOTE=Flatlander;236365]Brainstorming?[/QUOTE]Nope, but close though.

[QUOTE=retina;236364] put you out of your misery?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=axn;236367]yes please.[/QUOTE].[QUOTE=only_human;236352]Well. collectively what we have been doing is playing a guessing game. That itself almost seems to qualify as the answer.[/QUOTE]

Is the answer 20 Questions?

You win the next round. I am off tripping around so I can't do it.

only_human 2010-11-10 02:48

Coulda, woulda, shoulda, I'm a bit exhausted and glad that the mantle of the next round does not fall to me.

I wonder if, once people get a little bored with these current rules, we could have something a little more challenging. Say something like ...
[list][*]40 questions[*]Absolutely strictly Yes/No only. No hints allowed. No "nope"s, or "yeah"s etc. No clarifications. No bold, italic, underlines. Just plain text of "Yes" or "No"[*]If there is a false assumption, or the question makes no sense, or some other thing that makes the question irrelevant then the answerer is free to answer either yes or no as they please (perhaps answering in such a way as to maximise confusion if they want).[*]More?[/list]

[QUOTE]More?[/QUOTE]Wrong answers get you banned for a week?

[QUOTE=Xyzzy;236448]Wrong answers get you banned for a week?[/QUOTE]I hope you were just being silly. Perhaps it would be more interesting to reduce the sit-out time instead. Since there are more questions available one week would tend to make the game drag on.

Maybe we can just delete a random account for each wrong answer?
