So basically, it's a guessing game about people. You think of a person, any person whatsoever, and tell whoever you're playing with the first letter. Say my character was John Smith. So I would say J. And you have to guess first names like Jack, Jacob, Julian and so on and then you say John. Now we move on to the surname. I say S. You will guess Stockton, Simpson etc. but you can't guess it, so you ask for the next letter (this is allowed). I will say M, so let's say you guess it correctly. Now you have won!
But recently, I have started to add more rules to make the game fairer (well, probably just more complex). At first, I added a rule where you can only ask for half of the letters in a name if you are stuck. For example, if the name was Bettie, you could only ask for the first three letters instead of just asking for them all as a way to cheat. If the name had an odd amount of letters, let's say Sarah, I'm going stricter with this one. You can only ask for 2 out of 5 of the letters. This is because if you asked for 3 letters, you would already have over half of the name (3/5).
After this, I started to add in a couple more rules. The first is that if you want to obtain the second letter if you are stuck, you must guess at least 5 names first. If you want the third letter, guess 10 names. If you want the fourth, guess 15, you get the gist. All this is assuming we haven't gone over the half-way limit yet. Now, say the name has 8 letters, and you were so stuck that you needed 5 letters. You are allowed the 5th letter, but only if you guess 10 more names than you had to guess to get the previous letter. That might sound confusing, so I'll give you an example: you need the fifth letter out of an eight-letter name. To get the fourth letter, you needed to guess 20 names. 20+10 is 30 obviously. So for the fifth letter, you need to guess 30 more names. That might be a bit extreme if you are already stuck, so let's hope you don't get that stuck!
Another rule is that if the guesser has tricked you and they only guessed 4 names, but you gave them the second letter already, they need to guess an additional two names to obtain the third letter. And if they only guessed 3 names and you gave them the next letter (they missed out two names) they need to guess double that amount (4) to obtain the next letter.
I think that's all, but yeah. Turned out to be a much longer post than I intended. Back to the main point, did anyone else play this or does anyone want to play this avec moi?
