20 Questions - #36

The Sandbox Games
41

I’m going to assume googling the clue is verboten, so, since I did that and the answer became obvious, I’ll refrain from participating in questions/guesses the rest of this game.

42

oh, like euthanasia?

43

voluntary death penalty?

44

Could be Schrodinger’s Cat maybe?

45

Question 1 probably would have been answered differently, like “Yes and No”

46

True

You’re also forgetting who is moderating this #20Qs.

49

Good catch, Mr Mill. :joy::flushed:

I meant I will not guess nor ask any questions, & try not to influence others with my comments. Will edit to clarify.

50

I’m not forgetting because I’ve never had any idea who moderates this place.

51

Official question: Does it relate to politics?

52

Moderators have a little shield next to their user name.

Admins do, too, and spacelobster doesn’t moderate. But other than him, I think the shield will give you the info you seem to be missing.

53

Redacted for my stupidity.

54

Wrong. That is a question I’m asking in this 20 questions game. It is not directed at you. It is directed at VA.

55

Thank you, I hadn’t noticed the little shield. That is somewhat helpful. Now I know whose posts to report to help you out. :wink:

56

I stand corrected. I thought it showed up in my notifications. Not the first nor last time I’m wrong. I’ll edit to correct that.

57

I’ve edited my post to make it more obvious.

There are two uses of the term “moderator” used on this site:

  1. Those who have been empowered to enforce the TOS of this site and can edit/delete others’ posts and issue formal warnings and consequences to those who violate the TOS.
  2. Those who facilitate various games like Secret Hitler, Secret Gandalf, and the 20 Questions.

My original post to Marcie was in the use of item 2 above (which I thought was clear from context). And I hope that it’s clear who is facilitating this game.
