Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: Justin1993 on September 21, 2013, 12:14:24 PM: There is a variant of this game around here, the "Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral" variant, but this one encompasses any subject you want. Surely we all know how to play this game. If not, well it's simple. One person, the "answerer" chooses a subject (object) but does not reveal it. The others, "questioners", ask simple "Yes" or "No" questions e.g. "Is it heavier than a book?" If a "questioner" guesses the subject before 20 questions are asked, they are the new "answerer". If 20 questions are asked without a correct guess, the "answerer" goes for another round.
Rules:
1. An "answerer" must not lie.
2. "Yes" or "No" questions only.
3. Wait for the "answerer" to answer your question before asking a new one.
Edit: 4. If multiple questions have been answered, the answerer must specify which questioner is being answered.
Who wants to start?

Is it a musical instrument of some kind?
Has already been asked before :D

Answer's still 'no'.
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: jansenov on October 01, 2013, 04:37:18 PM: ^No, it hasn't. There are some instruments that would fulfill all the criteria set out before your latest answer.

And upon seeing your latest answer, I give up this round. Anxious to see what other people can come up with.
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: Justin1993 on October 01, 2013, 04:49:08 PM: Only four more guesses left. Whew, I thought this game would be easy. I don't know why, seeing as the subject could be anything. :lol
So, it's common in the household, it's not electrical, it varies in size, it's not a piece of furniture, it's not alive, etc. Hmm... Is it made of some sort of fabric?
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: Ducky123 on October 02, 2013, 03:05:39 PM: nope (and okay jansenov, I guess I missunderstood your question then, no problem at all)
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: bushwacked on October 02, 2013, 05:57:31 PM: This must be some kind of alien machine never before seen by mankind :huh:

That being said, is it something that's used in the kitchen?
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: Ducky123 on October 03, 2013, 11:31:09 AM: Quite commonly, yes, but (hint) it is nothing close to what you guessed above.
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: jansenov on October 03, 2013, 03:08:50 PM: I think I have a good idea of what it might be.

Is it made of plastic?
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: Ducky123 on October 04, 2013, 02:45:14 PM: I'm sorry, it isn't :(

Only one guess left... after that round anyone may be the gamemaster (I don't want to be the gamemaster again :angel)
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: Justin1993 on October 06, 2013, 10:33:38 AM: I'm completely stumped. One more question. Is it ... a window? :shrugs:
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: Ducky123 on October 07, 2013, 11:50:17 AM: Nope, sorry :( The word was... 'water' :oops It was difficult because it's almost everywhere so also in the kitchen :angel
Anyone may go ahead now :yes
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: bushwacked on October 07, 2013, 01:02:50 PM: Water?! Gah, good one Ducky :lol

I vote Justin to go next, since he had the last guess.
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: Ducky123 on October 08, 2013, 03:09:47 PM: ^Plus he made this game in the first place :yes

...any subject :lol:
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: jansenov on October 08, 2013, 03:53:14 PM: This game has so many posts its unwieldy. I've gone back and saw bushwacked and LB&T asked questions one right after the other on page 2, but David only gave one answer. It could be interpreted as him answering either bushwacked or LB&T. That probably led the game astray.

And I indeed asked a question that was asked by rhombus before.
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: Justin1993 on October 08, 2013, 06:37:21 PM: In order to avoid any confusion, I will add a rule. If multiple questions have been asked, the answerer must specify which questioner is being answered.
Okay, I have my subject. Start guessing. :goodluck
Title: Twenty Questions
Post by: rhombus on October 08, 2013, 06:50:43 PM: Lets start with the obvious - is it alive?
