Question recap:
1. Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral? ........................ Vegetable
2. Could it be confused by some to be a fruit? ................. Yes
3. Is it used for sauces? ...................................... No
4. Is it a squash? ............................................. No
5. Is it generally sold as a single piece? ..................... Can't answer
6. Is it green? ................................................ Can't answer
7. Is the skin striped or banded? .............................. No
8. In shape is it more yonic than phallic? ..................... Yes
9. Does one normally eat the entire fruit/veggie, skin and
all? ........................................................ No
10. Is the object a vegetable? .................................. No
11. Is it a melon? .............................................. No
12. Is it a fruit? .............................................. No
13. Is it a food for human consumption? ......................... Yes
14. Could a person attempting to use it as a drug potentially
overdose as a result? ....................................... Yes
15. Is it coffee ................................................ No
16. Is it a mushroom? ........................................... No
17. Is it a peach? .............................................. No
18. Is it an herb? .............................................. No
(question counter reset for screw-ups)
17. Is it commonly sold in western grocery stores? .............. Yes
18. Is it a root? ............................................... No
19. Is it an egg? ............................................... No
20. Is it a flower? ............................................. No
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.

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.

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. :-)

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.
