Someone asks a question and then you answer it with another question that starts with the last letter of the question before.  If it's not interrogative then you did it wrong.

Example:

1: Do you like ice cream?
2: Must I answer that?
3: Think you should?



Is that a cactus in your pocket?

The left pocket, or the right one?

Ever think to look?

Kangaroo have a center pocket right?

They might, but how is that relevant?

thought we are about pockets?

So, in your mind, pockets make kangaroos relevant somehow?

why is that so important to you?

Um, is this really necessary when we already have regular Question Tennis?

So? Isn't it nice to have needless elaborations now and then?

Now I guess it's okay.  Do you think it'll ever get out of testing?

Getting out of testing would require enough activity for a proper test, wouldn't it?

Think we could generate enough activity to do it?

That seems like a lot to ask of only two people, don't you think?

Kind of.  Maybe we just do a small amounts of continuous work over a long period of time?

Eventually it might add up to enough, but how long would that take?

Even at this pace we'll finish it up in a few months, right?

The problem is, will we retain our interest in it that long?

Guess we can wait and find out.  Don't some testing threads get ended before they near 1000 posts?

Seems needlessly abrupt, doesn't it?

That's true, but don't some threads deserve to move beyond testing?

Good threads get a non-testing continuation, don't they?

Yeah, but is good decided solely by the number of posts in the testing thread?

Does losing the testing tag really change the thread?

Don't you think it should be shown that it has earned the privilege of being a full-fledged thread even if adds no additional functionality?

You think it's important enough to increase the total number of threads more than necessary by restarting early?

You think it matters when the total number of open threads will be the same?

Ending the testing thread would increase the number of archived threads that need something done with them, wouldn't it?

That's true.  Are all of the removed threads still archived on the external site?

Everyone alright if I shamelessly bump my old dead thread?

Do we really have a choice?

Even if you did, would you still choose to post?

Thought not posting would mean we'd miss out on all the time to be wasted?

Don't be silly, wouldn't not posting also be a waste of time?

Exactly how do you define time wasting?

Going online and reading various sites for hours when you have a raid at 9 and you wanted to play other games in the 4 hours between getting home and raid time?

Even though raiding itself isn't the best use of your talents?

Says who?

Obviously, says everyone?

Even my raid leader?

Really, do you really think you can tank?

Kidding me? Aren't I a dps?

Since when is DPS a thing?

Good for killing bosses, aren't we?

Every class is needed to kill a boss, aren't they?

Yes, but don't dps do the majority of the killing?

Go on a raid with just DPS and see if that changes your opinion?

No issues have come up when I've soloed non-current content?

That might be because non-current content is made for groups of players much weaker then you currently are?

Even the previous expansion's raids?

Sometimes you just aren't meant to WoW?

Why would you even think that?

That's because I don't play WoW anymore?

Even if you don't, why wouldn't I be able to?

Obviouslly, because WoW isn't a thing anymore?

Except that it totally is? Don't you know they have a new expansion coming out next year?

Really, people still pay for it?

That would be obviously, wouldn't it?

The correct word you meant to use would be "obvious", is that right?

That I blame on my tiredness at the time, can you allow that?

That's just a stupid questing, yeah?

How could you say that?

That's because it was?

So? It's not like I'm picking on your use of "questing" instead of "question", am I?

I didn't notice that until you point it out?

I also wonder if anyone else has noticed how difficult T is to use?

Even harder than the 'z' and the 'x'?

X would be "x"-tra hard I guess?

So, what's up with vanilla ice cream?  Do you like it?

That isn't something I've through about, but whats wrong with Vanilla?

Are you implying that there is something wrong with vanilla ice cream worth identifying?

Going to bring the ice cream discussion back again, are we?

Everything revolves around ice cream, yeah?

How can that even be possible?

Everything is possible somewhere, isn't it?

That's not really true, is it?

Then does that mean that nothing is true, and everything is a lie?

Everything isn't a lie? Is that what you're trying to imply here?

Everything only makes sense if you want it to?

Oh really?

You're trying to distract me now, aren't you?

Unlikely, isn't it?

There!  Did you see that squirrel?

Leave the devil rats out of this, would you?

Usually folks fall for the cute vermin with bottle brush tails, how do you avoid their rodent allure with such aplomb?

Because of an old nightmare where a rabid squirrel bit my face off?

From a dream, (albeit a bad one,) you gained immunity from the nutty gaze of that horrid beast?

There's immunity, and then there's "complete and utter horror", isn't there? Would you be so calm with the idea that something could, at any moment, become a ravenous beast intent on biting your face off?

For some, that would be a valid fear, but what if you live in terror becoming a ravenous face eating monster?

Really? Are you a lycanthrope?

Ever heard of a leporithrope?

Ever hear of a what?

That kinda answers my question, doesn't it?

Truthfully, can you explain it to me?

Ever hear of a werebunny?

You're claiming to be a werebunny?

Years ago, I was bitten (more of a nibble really,) by a savage fluffy bunny.  Shouldn't I be concerned?

Do you have reason to believe that it transmitted its bunny-ness to you?

Unusually soft fur might be an indication, don't you think?

Koala's really have soft fur naturally, don't they?

You don't think you're thinking too logically for ASWoT by saying that?

That depends, is ASWoT a logical place?

Exactly where would you identify this 'logic'?

Can logic be identified?

Have you never taken a class on logic?

Does logic fall into the same category as metaphysics?

Some would say so, wouldn't they?

You agree with the folks who would say such a thing?

Golly, is that what Logic is?

Soap-on-a-rope-style logic?  Beat people until they agree with you?

Understanding others isn't an option?

Never tried to understand others?

So, are we gonna try?

You want to understand me?

Exactly what are we trying to accomplish?

Has accomplishing something ever been a factor in this game?

Even if you accomplished something, would it be worth it?

Though, who decides worth?

Haven't you met David?

David from art class?

Surely you know the answer to that?

Totally not, okay, do you even go to art school?

Like, do you think I even need art school?

Looks like we have deviated quite a bit, haven't we?

Even if I told you, would you be satisfied?

Do you really want to question my satisfaction?

No, but are you going to make me?

Elucidation seems to be a point of weakness, no?

maybe, but that depends what does elucidation mean?

Not quite the last letter, is it?

terrible i feel now, happy are you?

Usually, I'd answer that kind of a question with another question, but should I do it now?

Why not?

That would technically follow the spirit of this game and how would it be any fun?

Not playing a game you've chosen to play is fun to you?

Unless it’s life we’re talking about, and I don’t mean the board game by Milton Bradley.

YSK life is not nearly as fun as DnD, objectively speaking.

Getting people to accept an objective standard of fun is difficult, isn't it?

True! Do you know why they all resist?

That knowledge comes at a price. Are you willing to pay?

You wish for what as payment?

Tell me, who said the payment went to me?

Everyone else knows it was Who the Whosman, didn't you just answer your own question?

Now can you tell me what on Earth would make you think Who would know?

Well, I can't, because Who is not from Earth, unfortunately.

Yes, but does that necessarily mean the thing that makes you think Who would know isn't on Earth?

Hey, that's far too reasonable of a statement for an infected insect to say... Are you actually a human?!
This message was last edited by the player at 16:00, Sat 28 Mar 2020.

Now why should human be the only other option?

You're right! That was mighty assumptive of me, will you ever be able to forgive me?

Eh, it happens all the time. How much time do you think I have to be vindictive about it?

To be fair, how much time do you have to be wasting on ASWoT?

The time I have here could be spent in ways more enjoyable than worrying about anthropocentric assumptions, don't you think?

Killer response! Do you think my psyche will ever recover from that blow?

Would we be able to tell the difference?

Experts deem there would be no discernible changes in my behavior except for one thing, can you guess what that is?

Summoning demons?

Super close, but not quite right!

Training assassins?

Surely that's not very similar to summoning?

Got to get your trainees somewhere, right?

Terrible summoners would assume such, are you a terrible summoner?

Summoner? Why would I summon when I can just split off a copy and have the duplicate shift into whatever I need?

Do you think I have the answer to such a paradoxical & philosophical question?

Not to be rude, but why would I ever look to you for answers?

Seems wise to me that one should ask anyone (including those with no answers, like myself) about things they themselves do not know, how else are they to get these answers?

Spodomancy?

You just taught me a new word... or did you?

Unusually on topic, I know, but have you ever read The Gunslinger?  Isn't there an instance of spodomancy, (and burned bacon,) near the end of that book?

EDIT: Removed superfluous punctuation
This message was last edited by the GM at 22:09, Mon 30 Mar 2020.

Keeping in mind that I haven't read the book (so far as I remember), how should I know?

Don't you think his question was asking possible readers?

[OOC Nope haven't seen it, seems pretty good though]

So he was (as it turned out) asking nobody?

You think that the intersection of the venn diagram of people who read The Gunslinger and can recognize spodomancy would consist of a single koala?

Are any of the other occupants of that intersection showing any sign of presence?

Evidently not!

Then, on a practical level, they hardly matter, do they?

You really think that some things don't matter?

Really, does anything matter in the end?

Does my written voice sound qualified to answer that kind of philosophical inquiry?

You mean you're not a professor of philosophy and theology?

You are being sarcastic, right?

There's no way for any of us to know, is there?

Even if there was, would you be honest?

To be honest, wouldn't I need to know the answer?

Really good point... Who could we ask that question to?

Other than FourLegged?

Do you see anyone else in this forum?

Might someone reappear suddenly?

You think that it'll happen anytime soon?

"No way to know" seems an appropriate response, don't you think?

Knowing what little I do, I'd still venture that it is in fact appropriate?

Eek! Is this new appearance really happening?

Guess it did happen soon after all, huh?

He/she's pretty psychic for sure... Or maybe we are magical?

Life would be easier if we were... Or would it be harder?

Really good point. It depends on if only the two of us were magical, or if everyone was. If everyone was, it would probably be harder. If we were magical, it could go either way, depending on how smart we are and how strong we are. Does this answer your question?

Now that I think about it, wouldn't sufficiently advanced technology work just as well?

Likely not, it would be too predictable, I think.

Keep thinking that and you risk a nasty surprise. You know that, right?

To be fair, of course, who hasn't watched Black Mirror?

References aside, would you believe I haven't?

This response will cost you 2d6 WOTs, are you willing to pay?

You think I care that much about your beliefs?

Sadly that was the dice roller's last chance at being a productive member of communist society; Who's going to look in their young and purity-shining eyes while they euthanize them [humanely ; with as much pain MERCY as can be applied]?

If a game has been in its "Testing" phase for over 6 years, when does it become a real thread?

Do you think this thread will ever grow up and become a real boy?

Yuri Andropov really cared about that sort of question?

Never heard of him, was he some sort of monster girl?

Like did you mean to switch genders in the middle of the question?

Not really.... have you ever heard of traps?

So as in Admiral Ackbar?

Is Yuri Andropov a red herring?

Goodness, no! Now, would you please look at that flying penguin while I scramble some code?

"A flying penguin?" FourLegged looks away from Froggychum "Where?!"

Excuse me can you explain what I missed?

Did you forget I have a maximum memory span of two minutes?

Say, what kind of game is this anyway?

You're mother?

Rather rude to ask that about a person's mother, don't you think?

Kek, do you really consider me to be capable of actual thought?

Totally depends on how much sleep you have gotten.

Now what is this sleep you allude to?

Oh, perhaps he is referring to the ancient pre-industrial ritual of "Prahpurr Rhesst"?

This is meant to keep me awake, isn't it?

The ancient pre-industrial ritual of "Prahpurr Rhesst"? Can anybody tell me something more about this?

Saying it phonetically didn't help you figure it out at all?

What does the word "phonetically" actually mean?

Now is it possible nobody knows?

Considering that nobody so far intervened to explain, shall I consider it possible that nobody knows?

Should I explain to Fool what the rules of this game are?

Explaining would help, wouldn't it?

Today it's already too late, isn't it?

Too late for what?

Tid you forget what we were talking again?
This message was last edited by the player at 13:54, Sun 12 Feb 2023.

Now why would you think that?

The fact that I'm demonstrating over and over that I can't play properly at this game, that is all about the last letter of previous question, is a bad sign.
Do you agree with me?

Eventually, don't you think you'll figure it out?

What makes you think I'm so clever?

Really don't want me to answer that,  do you?

Unless people start posting again, do you think anyone will worry about your answers?

Surely somebody else will reply and therefore worry. Isn't it?

That's a reach to fit into this thread; don't you think?

Taking someone else's question, is that a valid way to play?

You used the word "taking" in your reply, but... Do you know that the word "quoting" would have been more appropriate?

Ever consider quoting to be a form of taking?

Getting there?

Ever just answer the question in a straightforward manner?

Remember that time when we were on holiday in front of the sea, having a mojito with a shrimp cocktail?
