mc5 - Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game

The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

Chalky

Is it connected with the weather?

Raak

Is it the Moon?

Boolbar

Is there only one of this item?

Riff

Is it a particular object made of a particular substance, rather than the raw substance itself?

e.g. "diamonds", rather than "carbon".

Kim

[Chalky] No.
[Raak] No.
[Boolbar] *Murmur of interest ripples through the audience. Whispers of "interesting question" and "how can he answer that one accurately?".* Yes. Or, possibly, no.
[Riff] *More murmurs of excitement.*. If you had not supplemented the question, the answer to it would have been "Yes".

Boolbar

Is it an element?

Kim

[Boolbar] No.
Advance warning: I will be away from a PC for most of the afternoon and evening. I'll try to answer questions before I leave the office, but otherwise will probably not be able to get back on line between 2.00pm and 9.00pm tonight.
