Challenge 07
20 Questions
Description
In this challenge you play directly against (and therefore with) members of the other teams. It works in the following way:
Member A: Picks a character or an episode from Merlin. The character must at least have been mentioned in the show, so don't dig up someone from the legends that people might not know about. They then post something along the lines of "I have a character" or "I have an episode" in a comment to this thread.
Please do not include anything from Season Four - Episode Six or later!
Member B: Replies to Member A by asking them a question which can only have a yes/no/maybe answer - for instance, "is the character female", "is morgana in the episode".
Member A: Responds with yes/no/maybe - only use maybe if you have to (it is for when you don't know the answer - for instance, if a character has magic but we're not sure, or if a character might be dead but might not be.)
Member B: Asks another question or guesses who/what the character/episode is.
Member B has three attempts at guessing. If all three attempts are wrong then you can continue playing, but member A will get the full 20 points. Remember that there is a difference between questions and guessing. You can ask 20 questions but only guess a character or episode name three times!
This game is played on a first come, first served basis. Each game contains two people - one poster and one guesser. If two or more people respond to you saying you have a character/episode, then you can only play against the first person to respond and any other people have to go find another game to play.
You can't play against members of your own team as that defeats the purpose entirely. Therefore, when you either post or first respond, include your team name so that people know if they can play you or not :)
This time I've removed the one-game-at-a-time rule; you can play as many games at once as you like!
Points Available
Poster: 1 point for each question used
Guesser: 1 point for each question you have not used
For instance, say you correctly guessed after 6 questions - you would get 14 points and the poster would get 6
