I don't think this has been done before.
It is a cross between 20 Questions and I Spy.

---Gameplay ---

The first person starts off by thinking of an object and posts the first letter of that object.
Others guess by asking questions that can yield a 'yes' or 'no' answer only.
Each player can only ask one question or guess one object in between each of the thinker-of-the-object's replies.
The first person to guess the object correctly continues the game by posting the first letter of their chosen object.
If it takes more than 20 questions to guess the "object", gameplay continues until someone correctly guesses.

All questions should be numbered in numerical order.
Guesses do not need to be numbered.

I'll start off.

This object starts with the letter H.

Ahhh, with stuff. A mixture of 20 questions and Eyespy?

1. Is it edible (human-wise)?

Is it edible (human-wise)?

Nope it's not

Edit: Yes storm it is like a cross between Eyespy and 20 Questions.

2. is it a kitchen accessory?

Can I just guess "Is it a hat?" Or do I have to ask "Is it an item of clothing?" first?

We only have 20 questions though, so that strategy may not be the best unless you are a lucky person.

20 questions is a lot to guess an object, isn't it? :S

Should we wait for the thinker-of-the-object to answer each question before asking another one?

20 questions is a lot to guess an object, isn't it? :S

A lot? I was thinking it was too little. There are hundred of words that begin with H... It probably comes down to asking smart questions.

May be a good idea to number the questions as they're posted? To save confusion with going over pages & stuff.

Yeah, lol. *edits my first question post*

Should we wait for the thinker-of-the-object to answer each question before asking another one?

I guess... coz if it's not a kitchen accessory, for example, then it rules out a bunch of kitchen stuff, like Hob, Hotplate, etc.

Aside:
I love 20 questions xD but I suck at other people's lives. So, this is Good. :biggrin:

3. Can you hold it?

May be a good idea to number the questions as they're posted? To save confusion with going over pages & stuff.

Sorry it seems to be harder than I orginally thought.

Some elaborations: It doesn't have to be 20 questions, although numbering the questions is a good idea tasha :smile: and you can guess the object at any time. Each person can either ask 1 question or have 1 guess before the thinker-of-the-object replies :)

2. is it a kitchen accessory?

Nope

3. Can you hold it?

Not unless you are overly strong :razz:

Can I just guess "Is it a hat?" Or do I have to ask "Is it an item of clothing?" first?

It's not an item of clothing i'm afraid :sad:

4. Does it move?

4. Does it move?

Yes it does.

5. Does it flyyyyy?

... Each person can either ask 1 question or have 1 guess before the thinker-of-the-object replies :) ...

Ummm, so does that mean I can guess now because I'm allowed one guess before you reply?

If so, I'd like to guess Harley Davidson? :razz:

/me flies! Coz we get more than 20 questions.

Sorry, I just finished reading Making Money by Terry Pratchett... I want to be Moist van Lipwig! Oh...kay...I digress. :biggrin:

Ummm, so does that mean I can guess now because I'm allowed one guess before you reply? If so, I'd like to guess Harley Davidson? :razz:

Yes and you can ask another question or have another guess now i have replied :)

5. Does it flyyyyy?

No it doesn't fly.

7. Is it a motor vehicle?

8) Is it an animal?.

7. Is it a motor vehicle?

Not a motor vehicle.

8) Is it an animal?.

Yes

9. Does it consist of 12 letters?

9. Is it spelt with 9 letters?

No it's not.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR WHY DIDN'T I GUESS THTTTT... I knewwww it was a horse... But you said 'object', so I didn't really think it was an animal!

Yayy :).

Hmm.

My object begins with the letter S.

GRR... Is it an 'object' in the first place?:mad:

Incidentally, db, horses are edible. EDIT: They are eaten all over the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_meat).

GRR... Is it an 'object' in the first place?:mad:

Perhaps we should ask, "Is it an inanimate object?" :-)

GRR... Is it an 'object' in the first place?

Oh sorry maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'object'

Edit: 1. Is your word a living thing?

Is it red?

3. Is it bigger than a bread box? =P

Oh sorry maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'object'

Edit: 1. Is your word a living thing?

GRRR If I had seen that post earlier, I would've guessed the Sun. That's it. I think it's your turn reecer.

Hmmm. The sun move. clouds move. (Once they were red, or atleast rain was.), Mars orbits. hmm. everything has to move someway though. wait, maybe it IS the sun!

Yes it is.

Well done reecer6.

Ok, My word starts with A.

1. Is it a living thing?

Is it natural?

1: yes
2: This seems exactly like 1, because things that are alive are natural, so it dosen't count (yes it's yes.)
real 2: no

Good job Nyna :)

Oooo that means I gotta do something huh? Ok lets see.....my word starts with a P.

Is it an animal/plant?

1: Yes .

2. Is it a mammal?

2: No .

3. Does it live in water?

Hint: It is quite common this time of year.

14: No

Is it the number- wait, that's the fionical number sequence.
Is it fictional?

15: No .

It's a pansy, isn't it?

P.S. Peacocks are birds, DUH. Bats aren't!
Fionical number sequence... LOLZ. It's called the Fibonacci Sequence, named after the mathematician Fibonacci, Leonard of Pisa. Have you heard of his punishment story? He had to make sums adding up to 101, or something... So he wrote 0 1 2 3 4 5... 101 in a line from left to right, and then 101 100 99 98 ... 0 below that in a line from left to right. The numbers then added up to 101, and he was done with his punishment in like... uhm... 5 minutes? IDIOTIC TEACHER TRIED TO PUNISH A MATHEMATICIAN :@ :@ I hope what I've said is true... As far as I can remember...
Anyway, his sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21... Each number is obtained by adding the last two numbers in the sequence. And yes, although the Fibonacci Sequence is present in many different ways in nature, it is NOT a living thing, and it does not have brightly-coloured flowers, although it's better than a brightly-coloured flower in itself... :D

16: No

another hint?

It is edible and often used in recipes especially this time of year.

17. One of these?: Primrose, parsley

18. Is it a pineapple tree?

Is it parsley?

17: no
18: no
19: no

So how does this work now? Do you guys get 1 more guess and then I tell you or do we keep going till someone gets it?

Keep going...

Is it pomegranate?

I think the best thing to do is to keep guessing for this "object". Thanks Nyna, I'll update the original post (http://www.isketchforum.net/20-questions-adapted-t2727.html)

20: No .

Is it pea?

It is not... a triangle, a trapezoid, time, a thought, an animal, a plant, a theorem, electronic, mathematical or tangible.

Yes, exactly. Why are you guys considering Ice to be an element, by the way? ... :P
Well, its relation with the elements may be more than slight.

You'll have to vary your questions ( a lot! ) if you really wanna guess this!

14. Is it associated with the weather or meteorology?

14. No. But then... Yes.
