Subject: 20 Questions
Posted by: trident
Date: Mar 23 24
The premise of this game finds itself in the game 20 Questions. Players will post a yes/no question to this thread. The host will answer each question, and then assign a single question prompt to the player who asked the question. (It is not required, but it can be fun to tie the prompt to the question that was asked.)
The player who guesses the thing correctly will score a point for the 20 Questions leaderboard. We are starting this leaderboard over to give new players a chance to be competitive.
Some quick rules are in order before we start:
1. Please only ask yes/no questions. Answers may sometimes be a little more nuanced than yes/no. The host may also give some hints to help players along.
2. Players may ask more than one question in a row (i.e. with no other players in between), but you must write your previous single question before asking another question.
3. You must have asked a yes/no question previously (and submitted the single question given to you) before you can make a final guess. This is to prevent players from coming in at the last moment and stealing the point from other players who have been engaged with the process the whole time.
4. If you would like to make a final guess as to what the thing is, you must put the word GUESS before your guess. This is for clarity’s sake.
(E.g.) GUESS: Is it the Statue of Liberty?
There is no need to write a single question after final guesses (unless you really want to!).
5. If your final GUESS is incorrect, you must ask a yes/no question and write its single question before making an additional final GUESS.
6. The round host has the final say on decisions of rule-keeping and order. Thank you, hosts!

Hi slay05, that looks like a final guess. In the future, you'll need to put GUESS before just to make sure. (I don't count final guesses toward the final tally.) The answer is not a koala, btw. Reply #23. Mar 30 24, 5:04 PM |

QB, your quiz topic is any hobby/sport that is considered dangerous. Reply #26. Mar 30 24, 7:00 PM |

I just submitted a question on a South American country in the sports category. So, my next question is - Has any major Hollywood studio ever made a movie that has this animal as a titular character? Reply #27. Mar 30 24, 7:40 PM |

Has any major Hollywood studio ever made a movie that has this animal as a titular character? Yes, but there's a lot going on in this question, so I'll need to clarify. A film was made in which this animal is featured and which is referenced in the title of the film itself. Ankitankurddit, your question topic is about any animated film. Reply #28.

GUESS: Is it Wombat? Reply #31. Mar 31 24, 1:16 PM |

Oh, it is not Wombat. Reverse Uno, please? I have a habit of multi-checking, and when I checked the spelling of Wombat one final time, I saw that it weighs about 20 to 35 kg. I got everything else, though - not a carnivore (it's herbivore), typically lives in the wild, not bird/primate/rodent (it's a marsupial of the class Mammalia), a paragraph of its danger to humans on its Wiki page, the movie "Combat Wombat" in 2020, and endemic to Australia. I have submitted a question on an animated movie in the music category. I will do some more brainstorming, and come up with my next question. Thanks. I am now very curious about what animal this is!
