response 200 of 222: Mark Unseen   Dec 6 17:33 UTC 2017

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.

There's an `Iq` conference? Seems perfect for this sort of thing!!

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.

Which makes more sense, defunding police or defunding public schools?
