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 doogs112r, can you change your question a bit so it can fit within the game? Right now, you aren't asking about the secret object. Reply #17. Mar 26 24, 1:16 PM |
