20 Questions

by Legend Wed Mar 16, 2011 4:46 pm

First topic message reminder :

- One player is chosen to be the answerer. That person chooses anything (can be a person, type of food or car manufacturer etc.) but does not reveal this to the others.
- All other players are questioners. They each take turns asking a question which can be answered with a simple "Yes" or "No".
- The answerer answers each question in turn. Using resources such as Google IS permitted.
- Sample questions could be: "Is it bigger than a microwave?" or "Can I put it in my mouth?"
- Lying is not allowed, as it would ruin the game. Therefore, we ask that you PM your answer to Hero, to ensure that there are no cheaters.
- If a questioner guesses the correct answer, that questioner wins and becomes the answerer for the next round.
- If 20 questions are asked without a correct guess, then the answerer has stumped the questioners and gets to be the answerer for another round.
- Please use answers that people actually have a chance of getting - nothing stupid like "My best mate Fred Hobbs"

Okay now you know the rules, lets start playing. Me first...
