    Rules:

    - The Game Master (the one who won the last game) selects a person (NPC), place or thing
    in-game related.

    - The players then ask yes or no questions to try to discover the person, place or thing. However, the Game Master does have the right to go beyond a simple yes or now answer if necessary. For example: "I'm not sure" or "Probably" or "Yes, but be careful because that's misleading."

    - Players must ask only one question per post and must not try to be sneaky by squeezing in two or more questions at once.

    - A player may ask a new question as soon as his or her last question has been answered.

    - The Game Master MUST answer all questions to the best of their ability no matter how stupid (doo doo, ducks, etc), provided the question conforms to the rules above.

    - The Game Master should post recaps of answers from time to time. Once a page is a good idea.

    - The Game Master should also be polite and "like" everyone's post, even if they don't actually like it. Clearly this rule is now official, at least as of game 700.

    - Once a player guesses the correct answer he or she gets to host the next game or can designate someone else to host it. Make a separate thread and we will let this one die. That way we can keep track of when one game ends and another begins. Keep numbering the pages as we go along.

    - If a player wins and does not start another game within 24 hours of winning the last person to guess before him or her gets to host the next game.

    - If the Game Master does not respond within 24 hours to any posts then anyone may feel free to start the next round.

    Yes.

    Is the answer a zone name?

    Not exactly. I'd take it if it were used descriptively as part of the response that identifies the answer. (Not sure how much sense that makes.)

    Not much, man. Not much.

    Is this place located in a zone that contains at least one assling?

    Is this place found in a zone that was released prior to LDoN?

    It'll make sense later. It isn't just a flat "Plane of Knowledge" or something.

    To your question, yes, though now I'm curious what you actually said that was filtered out, since what I thought you asked in your first question made it through in this one.
  13. Whoops Augur

    This is not helping my "that wasn't clear at all!" thing I've got going, haha. Yes, but no. By the absolute strict interpretation of your phrasing, yes. But leaving it at "yes" is misleading.

    Is this a special occasion zone, like raid, or wedding

    Oh, I just said and . The forums used to auto-censor it to **halfling** (because really, they all mean the same thing). Assling always got by the bad-word filter because there are a ton of words with in them, like ASSume and ASSociate, so they’d have to manually add it in or something.

    Zat and the other CRM’s after her either didn’t have a problem with the word assling or felt that it would be too big of a hassle to make sure it was filtered out. I can personally guarantee they were aware of the word getting by the filter, as I’ve used it freely in their presence for years.

    Is this place located in a zone that has at least one gnoll?

    And please don’t pull a Verily and say “no” where there were actually MULTIPLE gnolls in the zone. (Everyone keeps bringing up the Lavastorm incident from game #698, but Verily’s snafu in #669 had an even greater impact on the results because the Lavastorm one confused everyone equally whereas the gnoll “mistake” targeted a specific player - ME!)

    Is it a place that was added to an old zone at a later time?

    What gnolls? I'm still looking for gnolls in Commonlands. I stand by my original answer.
  18. Whoops Augur

    No raid or wedding. Less special, perhaps? Depends on your definition of special occasion.

    Edit: I'd say yes, but worry that "special occasion" with "wedding" as half of the potential context makes it sound more special than one might find it.

    Despite the possibility that you've hallucinated gnolls, mistaken werewolves for gnolls, or some other such thing when in Commonlands, to the best of my knowledge, using two sources and my (possibly questionable) memory, there are no gnolls in this place. FWIW, I checked on the halflings before answering, too.

    Yes. Some potential that this is misleading, also.

    I think we should all ask questions that will only result in misleading answers

    Does this place resemble a phallus?
