20 Questions - forum game
I'm thinking of an object. You only have 20 questions to guess what that object is. *IMPORTANT* - put the number your question next to the question. The person who guesses correct answer gets to be the next '20 question master'.

I'm assuming the answers must be in a yes/no format.

Is the object man-made?
kaner406 (2061 D Mod (B))
27 Jan 15 UTC
correct Yes/No format.

1) Is the object man-made? - yes (I'm being liberal here and allowing for HUMAN design)

2) is it a something we use everyday?

is this item usually found in your home?
Valis2501 (985 D)
27 Jan 15 UTC
@Tom do you mean Kaner personally, or the general person? I'm assuming the latter.

Recap:
1) Is the object human-made? - yes
2) is it a something we use everyday? - yes (mostly)
3) Is the item usually found in one's home?
RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)

Valis, that sounds like question #4. Tom's question did not specify.
Tomahaha (1170 D)
27 Jan 15 UTC
Found in ones home, in kaner's home, whatever.
and Valis' is not question #4, especially since Kaner didn't answer yet. He was simply clarifying the question (but how different would it really matter?)
we are still at question #3

1) Is the object human-made? - yes

RUFFHAUS 8 (2490 D)

That's the whole point of a 20 questions game, Tom. You have to ask specific questions that nail these things down. Yours wasn't really specific enough. So Kaner was kind enough to clarify it, effectively answering two questions for one. What's commonly head in one person's home might not be so common to others. For example some folks couldn't imagine a home without a television, but others might think it a luxury or a nuisance. I cannot imagine a home without an AR15 and a Glock, but other might find this horrifying.

Kaner, does this item require power (electricity, battery, solar, hamster wheel, or otherwise) to serve it's intended function?

Tomahaha (1170 D)

Kaner answered the qualified question. He did not do so on his own. And i seriously doubt it would have mattered. Hell the second question could have been done the same way. Big deal. Stop berating others. Enjoy things instead of being the authority on everything.

Ooooh, I think we all thought that but with so many questions left, isn't it best to really fine tune things before jumping into a guess? (But again, who didn't think that?)

Can I ask for clarification on question 11?
please say so if I am asking for too much, I do understand things are based on how they are worded!

This object conveys moving pictures on a video screen, not TO a video screen, so this item includes said video screen!?
Tom's is 13.

14) Is this something people carry around with them on a daily basis?
ssorenn (954 D X)
28 Jan 15 UTC
Is it a iPhone or similar?
15) is it something that we can carry around in our pockets?

Just updated to the latest wedDip code.
Please report any problems in the ModForum.
This was a large patch and there might be some problems. I will try to fix them as soon as possible.

Please note: There are some additional (wrong) RR-stats, as webDip installed our RR system on their site too. At the moment there additional stats do nothing and are wrong. I will migrate the data to the new system if it's working on webDip.

Closing a Game
Hi,
there is a game that has been paused for over a month and we can not unpause it, because there are users who are not online anymore.
It would be nice, if some adminstrator could close it and give the coins back to everyone.

Double save Italy – we need two(!) replacements
Double save Italy – we need two(!) replacements due to bans in a so far so good Rinascimento game ... gameID=21663

it's ferrara in good position, and venezia in very good position ... the game is not spoiled due to the ban at all, so it's a good chance to jump in.
