Playground Squares X: What will they think of next.

**Indurain** · 2011-05-03, 10:20 PM (ISO 8601)

I'd like to take a square please.

My opinion, the questions should be open, no choices. AND it should be illegal to say you don't know the answer to a question. We should play more like the original Hollywood squares where the object was to convince the players that you were telling the truth (even if you have no idea what the answer is)

**Mordokai** · 2011-05-03, 10:23 PM (ISO 8601)

I would like to play as square again please, not center though.

As for the question... I prefer the option with four given answers.

**Deathslayer7** · 2011-05-03, 11:20 PM (ISO 8601)

no square for me this time. Currently in the middle of finals. And my input is that is strongly depends on the question and how difficult/easy it is.

Personally I like 2-4 choices as if you leave it open choice, the best answer would be to disagree.

**Alarra** · 2011-05-03, 11:31 PM (ISO 8601)

I would like to be a square also.

**Zeb The Troll** · 2011-05-04, 12:05 AM (ISO 8601)

I would like to be a contestant this time, if I may.

**smellie_hippie** · 2011-05-04, 09:35 AM (ISO 8601)

can i match wits with zeb as other contestant?

**Supagoof** · 2011-05-04, 09:37 AM (ISO 8601)

If a square needs a fillin'.....I'm ya villian.

I agree with Indurain, that squares should try their best to answer or lie about and answer to the question. I don't know shouldn't be part of an answer. Open ended questions can lead to this more easily IMO.

**mangosta71** · 2011-05-04, 09:37 AM (ISO 8601)

BR has already claimed the other contestant box.

Thirded. The game ran best, in my opinion, when all the questions were open ended. The whole point of being a square wasn't to answer the question correctly, but to convince the contestant that you were.

**Deathslayer7** · 2011-05-04, 09:51 AM (ISO 8601)

Possibly, but if most contestants are smart, they'll disagree as most likely the contestant won't know the exact answer. I understand you are supposed to convince them, but I undecided if open-ended questions is the way to go about that.

The easy counter to this. The square can look up the answer if they are so inclined. (Or depending on how much work Lex feels like doing, the answer could even be PM'd to the square) Then it's up to them if they want to tell the truth or lie.

In my opinion Squares should be about the squares trying to fool the contestants, not finding out how much the squares know, and letting the contestants play the odds game.

**RabbitHoleLost** · 2011-05-04, 10:37 AM (ISO 8601)

I liked the way it used to be, with open ended questions and the occasional multiple choice.
It was always about whether the Square wanted to do good or not. ARE THEY REALLY YOUR FRIEND OR DO THEY HATE YOU?
...or is it just more fun to betray

**banjo1985** · 2011-05-04, 10:46 AM (ISO 8601)

How about giving several possible answers, just make all of them wrong.

*sits back in the audience and waits for the entertainment to start. Also makes sure he has plenty of sticky popcorn to throw at Mordy*

**Mordokai** · 2011-05-04, 10:59 AM (ISO 8601)

When I get my hands on you, I'm gonna brake that banjo of yours on that head of yours

After that, just one Dunce cap won't be enough for you anymore...

Good thing we've got the stack of 'em in your closet to fall back on...

**Mordokai** · 2011-05-04, 12:55 PM (ISO 8601)

An insult towards my intelligence. How utterly unpredictable

Could just kick the crap out of you...

**Saposhiente** · 2011-05-04, 08:07 PM (ISO 8601)

plz.
Also, squares knowing answers sounds intriguing and has my support.

**Mordokai** · 2011-05-04, 10:50 PM (ISO 8601)

Get in line buddy. But I sure hope you have some time because boooy, you're in for some waiting...

**Helgraf** · 2011-05-05, 12:30 AM (ISO 8601)

Square me since I didn't even get a question last time.

**banjo1985** · 2011-05-05, 11:00 AM (ISO 8601)

Square me if there's a space left.

*sidles closer to Mordy*
*noms popcorn meaningfully*

"Threats of voilence brother? I wonder how much popcorn I can stick in your hair before the weight twists your skull off?"

**Lex-Kat** · 2011-05-05, 12:49 PM (ISO 8601)

And if anyone would prefer a different avvie to be used for their square, let me know, and I'll change it. Same goes for the Contestants, if they don't like their letter color.

**Joosbawx** · 2011-05-05, 12:56 PM (ISO 8601)

forgive a silly question...are squares allowed to ask questions?...anyway, my question is this:

I understand why Zeb is going to use a Z to mark his squares...obviously because grandpas are notorious for nodding off whenever the mood strikes them, but whynis Bushranger using a G, and a green G at that?

**Lex-Kat** · 2011-05-05, 02:08 PM (ISO 8601)

G? I don't see no.... Okay. I messed up. It was supposed to be B. And now it is.

**Deathslayer7** · 2011-05-05, 02:13 PM (ISO 8601)

no no no. I saw a B. It was always a B. Who says it wasn't a B?

*sharpens broomstick*

**Joosbawx** · 2011-05-05, 03:13 PM (ISO 8601)

ah, yes...of course...it is a B...my mistake. that's a lovely broom you have there, Deathslayer...quite lovely, indeed.

**Blood_caller** · 2011-05-05, 04:29 PM (ISO 8601)

Well i saw a GGGGGGG.......

**Lex-Kat** · 2011-05-05, 06:00 PM (ISO 8601)

Poor Blood Caller. He was a good player in DnD WW. I shall miss him.

And look! I made some categories.
