I looked at the original rules and we appear to have dropped almost all of them anyway. It's no longer a station on the tube map, it's no longer 20 questions, you're no longer allowed to lie once (didn't know that had been in!), and so on. So I don't see why that one should be particularly sacrosanct.

Anyway, tubeguru made the rules, so presumably it's up to him. Not sure why he's complaining about his own rules...
I can't remember making the rules. I didn't invent this game, I'm sure. I would have just typed the rules out ...

Actually, none of those rules really apply as we're no longer playing Where am I?. (13/30 :lol: )
Hey, that wasn't a question! I was very careful not to include a question mark anywhere.

Back to the game...

Are you on a preserved railway?

Not currently (2014), and not in my year either. (13/30)

I'm really sorry, but that is not question 14. It is question 13. There is nothing in my previous comments that can be construed as a question.

I'm not sure whether I am actually inside one (in 2014!). I am (in 2014) owned by one though, and that's all you're getting. (14/30)

I've had my two questions. Am I allowed a third or not? I can see why the rule is there - without it the game could easily turn into a private game between two people, and no one else would be allowed a look-in. I'll leave it to your discretion.

Seeing as the people who first set the game up (hwolge and Soup Dragon) rarely visit the forum these days, we have no official decision. However, as RobbieM is on holiday and Urzzz1871 is very rarely around, you and greatkingrat are the only two people asking questions (and tubeguru! Though we don't know how long until he gets bored). If you have another question, you might as well though.
