Guess Who - Game

[RedheadDane]

Look what you've done! You have broken the game, you silly people!

Older than 27 years old
Ridden this year
European? Yes
WorldTeam? Yes
Surname in second half of alphabet? Not all the letters, but the first one yes
From a country with the Atlantic coast? Yes
A GT country? No
Top 10 Monument finisher? No
GT stage winner? I think it has to be: "yes"
Been part of the winning squad in a TTT, but never actually won an individual stage? No

Is his registered nationality currently operating on the same timezone as British Summer Time (UTC/GMT +1) ? Yes...

 

[SHAD0W93]

I think it is only down to two people now (I 100% know 2 and didn't see others that matched) so do we keep asking till there is only one possibility?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I think there are 3 riders still in there (and I should have anticipated Sir Fly's shortlist as 3 rather than 2). Are you bearing in mind earlier discussion of what it means to be over a given age? If I were in a pub the day after my 18th birthday, I would certainly assert that I was over 18 (although I had been claiming it for a year or ore prior to that...)

And if I answer your question about whether it is down to two riders, does that mean that it is now up to you to have someone in mind?

 

[SHAD0W93]

Won a national championship?

I think when we get who it is we should all say who we were thinking of.

 

[SHAD0W93]

My question of two riders was a general question not for the game. I was curious what our end game is.

And no I was looking at 28 and older so if we go by the age than I see three possibilities. Though I'm the opposite, if someone asked me if I was over 26 I would say I am 26 not 27.

(and I believe there are now only two possibilities, so Shadow can basically decide whether the next guesser wins or not)

 

[SHAD0W93]

Well I'm about to go to bed so I'll PM armchair who I'm thinking of and who I was thinking of before in case we reveal who we thought of each time.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Sorry if my last post sounded as though I was casting aspersions on Shadow: it was a reservation about this new version of the game, not of his integrity.

 

[RedheadDane]

Roche... maybe? (Someone gotta put an end to this madness!)

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I'll assume that in giving me his answer, Shadow was giving me permission to tell the next person yes or no. So

So now I suppose someone has to ask RHD a question, but if RHD is out of possibilities and cannot answer, we seem to have reached an impasse.

 

[RedheadDane]

I... may have broken the game...

 

[sir fly]

Portuguese?

Armchair cyclist/SHAD0W93 is answering since we got to the point of guessing a concrete rider. When that happens (someone asks for a concrete name and doesn't guess) we just register it and continue as there wasn't a question about the name.
C'mon people, don't pull my leg... it's easy to improvise.

 

[RedheadDane]

So... when we get the right rider, how about... a normal round?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Portuguese: Yes

 

[RedheadDane]

Nelson Oliveira?

 

[sir fly]

Nelson Oliveira?

Yes.

 

[RedheadDane]

So... I'm "it" now? Shoot…

 

[sir fly]

We're playing normal or hybrid?

 

[BlueRoads]

I really appreciate your attempt to make the game more interesting, Fly, but maybe we can brainstorm to find a way that is closer to a game and not so much work?

 

[RedheadDane]

Normal... please...

I really appreciate your attempt to make the game more interesting, Fly, but maybe we can brainstorm to find a way that is closer to a game and not so much work?

The work is part of the game. It's testing your knowledge of various riders.

 

[sir fly]

We can give it another shot some time... to try to find a better version as BlueRoads wrote.

Female?
Active?
Having a cake?

 

[RedheadDane]

Female? No
Active? No
Having a cake? No

(I suppose it would help if all players were aware of the unusual rules. Maybe we should start a different thread for the "Guess Who" game version 2.0)

 

[tobydawq]

I don't get the cake criterion. So the rider in question is not eating a cake right now. Or hasn't ever eaten a cake? Or hasn't invented a cake? Or hasn't got a cake named after him?

 

[RedheadDane]

He's not eating a cake right now! I he might have eaten cakes, I dunno… and, yes! I know; should pick riders I actually know anything about.

Bjarne Riis?
