I guess I could have answered question 9 "Yes". I interpreted the question
to be asking whether or not one normally ate the whole thing in one sitting,
but it is true that you do eat the whole thing, including the skin/crust.
Hope that ambiguity didn't throw you.
That was more difficult than I thought it would be.
Well done papa! See if you can do it again.
Would there be a problem if we started a new conference item for each game round? I think it would make reviewing questions in the crrent round a lot easier.
What if 20Q had it's own conference?
That wold be ideal if we are going to continue the game indefinately.
Mmmm Pie
Is creating a new conference something cross would have to do?
tfurrows, congratulations on response #200! I think it is correct that only cross or another admin can create a new conference. I'm not sure whether he wants to bother with changes to Backtalk. I was thinking of starting the next 20 Questions round as a new item in the Agora conference. Anyone think it would be good to have a copy of the games on Gopher?
I think gopher would be a lot of fun... what about script-based, interactive, so the gopher audience could take part in the fun? Not a copy I guess, but move the thing over to gopher and try it out there?
Giving people an alternative to Backtalk for accessing the game is what gave me the Gopher idea. I was thinking of mirroring the BT posts by hand to my gopherhole and accepting questions on either BT or by e-mail. A Gopher-based app might be an interesting challenge. I wonder if the BT API would allow Gopher to generate BT posts rather than the other way around.
I vote for papa, and tfurrows to be granted some admin privilages for running thier own conferences, and maintaining the gopher server, in line with Grex.org policy.
Sure; that seems reasonable. Conferences can be created for folks, and I certainly don't mind handing over gopher admin rights to some folks.
mijk, I appreciate your confidence :) I think cross has it under control though... I don't know that I could add much. Papa might be a great match for helping with backtalk/bbs though, I think he knows more about it than I do.
I wouldn't mind being fairwitness if cross wants to create a conference for Twenty Questions. I might need some pointers since it seems Backtalk fairwitnesses are a vanishing breed.
I've got to figure out how to create a conference and I'm a bit swamped at the moment, but I'll give it a go. :-)
Thanks. No rush.

Or would it be better used the Iq conference ("The place for puzzles,
riddles, and other trivia")? Since no one has posted there since 2006,
I don't think anyone will be bothered if we create an new item for each
game round (it looks like several games, like the "n-Letter Word Game"
serieses were run that way back in the day).
We used to do multiple items for the letter match game, so I don't think it would be a problem to do a new item for each round of 20 questions. If it should get to be overwhelming we could always create a new IQ conference, but I kind of doubt that will be a problem.
Next round starting in the IQ conference!

There's an `Iq` conference? Seems perfect for this sort of thing!!
Is there a "mediocre nihilist" cf I can join?
resp:217 All of them fit that description. Have a ball!
#217 http://humourhub.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/i-cant-breathe.jpg #218 YES and now it's a brisk walk through a graveyard. Side note: No one ever plants a tree for Fentanyl Floyd. There are no prayer circles or positive community cleanups. It's only looting and arson. One could say that God is a nihilist b/c the Fentanyl Floyd was struck down by lightning. What are the actual statistical probabilities? In a lifetime, there's a 1 in 15,300 chance according to the National Weather Service. BUT another variable is the angle in which the lightning struck.

Ooh...tacky
Some times breathing is as easy as... https://www.mysavings.com/img/link/large/71309.jpg Which makes more sense, defunding police or defunding public schools? Was Max Headroom really Gerald Ford? Was the June 25 Pentagon UFO Report complete disinfo? Is a market bubble ever "different this time"? How many licks to the center of a tootsie pop drop? Enquiring minds want to KNOW!!!
You have several choices:
