Just thought I would bring up a game I use to play all the time!
This is Questions! The game begins by the first person asking a question and another must respond with another question! This is done with two players, but as this is a forum, I'm going to make sure everyone can participate! There is no time limit to post in a question because anyone can answer! The way the scoring works is by foul. If someone asks a repetitive or rhetorical (for example, is the sky blue?), someone has to point it out so they can get a point! To get a better understanding of this, I suggest you watch this funny video by one of my favourite cideo channels on YouTube, HappySlip!

I'm not sure if this is going to work but, I just thought it would be a cool idea! Hope you have fun!
I'll start off!
Hey guys, want to play questions?

How does one play questions?
It's kinda a shame that this game never took off...but it's not like you have to be particularly witty about it (though it would make it more fun). I also just realised that this game was played in Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead which was what we had to study for English back in year 12.
And according to wikipedia, these are the complete number of ways to foul in this game:
* statement: player fails to reply with an actual question
* hesitation: player takes too long to reply or grunts or makes a false start
* repetition: player asks a questions identical to or synonymous with one already asked this game (not match)
* rhetoric: player asks a rhetorical question
* non-sequitur: player responds with an unrelated question |

Why you don't have the nuts to find it for yourself?

Hey guys, the rules specifically state we can't have questions that aren't related at all...so you have to answer the question with a question otherwise this game becomes kinda meaningless.
ie
sljinu: How does one play questions?
koda: Where do babies come from?
Foul because the questions aren't correlated. Just wanted to clear this up before this becomes a run away mess
Also, no rhetorical questions
eg Why are limes green and lemons yellow?
Sorry koda, second foul
Now to continue the game...
Why do you assume I cannot find out that information myself? |
