*was* playing

I wanna know how he/she cheated!!!

Baillard present - and on the right track but too late.

Really an amazing guess. gj.

Ah!

The kicker was that it wasn't a play button, but an up/down button (otherwise, the orientation of the arrow would be wrong compared to the other button in the picture.) and a monochrome LCD, meaning it was a display on a larger device. From there, I used my extensive knowledge of repeated woots to make a couple google searches.

Is that the same son that named you ThunderThighs?

It was more work for me. Problem was that all the products for tonight would have been easily guessed so I was trying to figure out a way to slow y'all down. Didn't work.

I didn't like that there was so little posting. I like the community interaction.

I like that it was not as easy to guess, therefore longer game time.

Thanks for the pics we didn't use. I was thinking the first image was an up/down button if it wasn't a play button. I thought the 3rd item was a cleaning tank solution.

Would have been over by 11:05 otherwise though. LOL

Wow, you're right, hmmm why did it seem longer, that's weird


edit, still had fun tho :D

I mostly like... I miss asking questions, but the major one's were clarified (like the picture angle and zoom)...

if you do the picture idea again, I think you should again skip the questions...

It's still new enough that I think that big changes are a must and it keeps us interested...

I feel for you doing more work:/

Another note: any format of the game will be easier for some folk and more difficulty for others. So I think that you should change it up every once in a while just because... and because it keeps us on our toes.

I like having a picture clue and it was nice having the pace a little slower to ponder a bit. However, it was a bit too slow without any input that some guesses had narrowed down the type of product, say appliance vs electronic media.

Perhaps a mix of picture and word clues, not just 1 or the other?

Personally I'm a fan of the 20Q and the idiocy, I mean creativity that ensues. This was also fun and creative, but relied heavily on your prep too.

In 20Q, I like the idea of one question per post, cant ask another until yours is answered (self policing, obviously), and no bracketing (eg: between a-m, $20-$50, on woot in last month)

Drat late by traffic! Good fun game it looked like! Congrats to the winner!

This is only the second time I've played, so I cannot say anything about games prior to last night's.

FWIW, I preferred tonight's game.

The third picture threw me for a major loop. I'd gotten that it was a device like a camera or tablet or whatever and that the first pic was not a play button.

Fun either way IMHO.

I don't think I ever would have been able to piece that puzzle together in a million years. In fact, I'm still lost. x,x

Bribed TT. It's a lot easier than you might think.

Agreed. Didn't get the same "rush", but a change-up is nice sometimes. Or maybe a combination of pictures and clues?

I showed up late. mah bad yo.
I encourage you to try this/new variations of the game again in the future though.

But bracketing is such a good strategy for 20q, I would miss that if it was outlawed.

Not sure I'd do an all image game. I miss the interaction. Might meld the two some how.....


OH REMEMBER: Next game is Sunday @11pm CST to guess Monday's item. We break for the weekend.

I didn't like it, but I came in late and missed it. That's the only reason why

I would like to request a new interface. I think this would be much more fun in a chatroom style setting.

Good answer ;)

Whichever way keeps it amusing for you too! Must seem a bit like putting on a fireworks show sometimes. (over too soon after much time prepping) Thanks for making the site fun in yet another way.

Agreed on the strategy side, but that in turn quickly narrows the options...meaning the guessing gets tightly focused very quickly.

ThunderThighs wrote:Maybe that's the clue to slow it down is not answering those bracketing questions, as you call them.

That's a good idea. I think I will go to one post per question and ask people to not post multiple questions in a row. It'll be hard for me to police because I don't really read the names on posts since I'm moving pretty fast.

could the above, be achieved w/pics?

I think it might have been better to start with the most abstract clues ie. Luigi and Oprah today that way people are more confused and then bring out the easier ones when we are pulling our hair out (figuratively)
