:oldforum: Ten Commandments :oldforum:

Ⅰ The point of the game is for players to ask 20 binary (yes/no) questions in order to guess the person or character the question master has selected. Only binary questions are valid.

Ⅱ If a binary question does not have a yes-or-no answer, or the question master decides that the answer relies too much on a subjective interpretation or that the technically accurate answer might be unfairly misleading, or there's some other extenuating circumstance, the question master may decline to answer the question (in which case the question does not count against the total), ask that it be rephrased (which only counts if the player resubmits it), or answer it with additional context or hints (in which case it does count). The question master may provide additional hints outside of responses to questions whenever they like, but free info they choose to give out does not count against the question total.

Ⅲ Players may not make a question conditional on the outcome of a pending question. E.g., if one player asks "Is the person over 50?" and another player asks "If yes, do they wear glasses?" before the question master answers the first question, then the question master must answer the second question even if the answer to the first is no. Players may make guesses conditional on the outcome of a question, though.

Ⅳ One guess per person does not count against the total twenty questions, but additional guesses by the same person do.

Ⅴ After twenty questions are answered, there are no more free guesses, and five more guesses are allowed.

Ⅵ No player shall ask more than two consecutive questions before another player has asked a question or made a guess. If a player has already used their free guess, or if the game is in the final round of 5 guesses after the 20th question, guesses that would use a question/guess slot count for this rule.

Ⅶ Before the twentieth question is answered, players who have not yet used their free guess may choose to expend their free guess alongside two consecutive questions.

Ⅷ The question master may choose entities real or fictional that are not horribly obscure, so long as they are not repeats.

Ⅸ Whoever guesses correctly takes over from the previous question master; if they do not want to do it, they may choose who to pass the duty onto or just give it to the first volunteer.

Ⅹ If the question master remains undefeated three times in a row, on the third time they must either pass it to a person of their choice, or the first volunteer takes over.
