Where Am I? Quiz 10

[tubeguru]

Rules, Rules and more bloody rules.

I don't like this game, it's too rule esque

This is my last little suggestion for tweaking, I promise ...

[Edgemaster]

Does that mean it has to be strung out to at least the 15th question before any guess can be made, even if the set of stations possible has already been reduced down to 1 single one?

[tubeguru]

Your question makes it obvious that you're probably against the idea and I can see the flaw in that idea. So forget that one. NEXT!

[tubeguru]

OK, the number of questions tweak is rubbish. Any thoughts on the kind of questions we should avoid in an informal kind of way?

[Edgemaster]

Avoid asking the same 'type' of question as the person before.

eg, asking 3 line questions in a row is bad, or using all 20 questions for a quadtree reduction of the area of the map...

[Sam]

People seem to be getting far to hung up on this. I know it's unsafe to go out but come on people....!!

[tubeguru]

OK, let's forget it and carry on as normal. Nice signature ...

[tubeguru]

I just had an idea - we should play this on the whole UK rail network.

*runs*

[Sam]

Don't encourage him

[tubeguru]

Fun one-off maybe? Might need more than 20 questions though!

Unlimited.

[Sam]

Yawn

[Starkey7]

The rules should be as simple as possible to ensure an entertaining game.

[Sam]

Well said Sir

Could I volunteer to be the 'lost' person on the National network?

[tubeguru]

They're not particularly complex now. They are only worded so as to avoid ambiguity and needless getting lost. See the latest game for how it can all go tits up if someone says "outside zone 3" or "LU roundels".

What is an "LU roundel?" Is it a roundel shaped like an LU one (an LU-style one if you like) but with differing colours? Is it a roundel that you would only find at an LU station coloured blue and red? The answer given will determine which direction we all go off in.
