Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game
help
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.

OK there seem to be some missing answers, if I've read it right:
Is it an action? [Bob]
Is it dieting? [Darren]
Is it unhappiness? [Chalky]
Is it self-consciousness? [LotUS]
Is it something to do with physical appearance? [Darren]
Phew!

Is it something that can affect anyone/anything?
I'm intrigued by the fact that it's not exclusive to humans.
Bravo Chalky.
Chalky - yes, It could affect anyone, but NOT anything.
First, the missing answers (apologies to all):
It is not an action
it is not dieting
it is not unhappiness
it is not self-conciousness and it is not something to do with physiscal appearance.
I am surprised at how long this one is going on... I thought it would be a case of "four questions and we're done".
A clue...
[Raak] You might want to break out the thesaurus for one of your earlier questions that was close but forced a rather vague answer from me.
Would it be considered a 'disorder'?
Albinism?
Chalky - not a disorder, no. Raak - no.
Is it associated with a loss of some sort?
Stabbing in the dark, slightly confused.
Infertility?
Inkspot - no. Chalky - no.
Let me recap the important questions (in descending order of relevance)... as it seems that all are confused...


(1) It is not considered a good thing.
(2) It can be perceieved by the senses
(3) It could not exist without animals or humans
(4) It is not a "disease"
(5) It is not a "disorder"
(6) It isn't unique to humans

and... If you think sideways, Noodle was so so so so so close with his vague question...
As for (4) and (5) you might want to consider a thesaurus.
Homesickness?
NOT homesickness
I am retracting my last question ... because homesickness is associated with a loss
Could my goldfish have it?
This is a killer. I am absolutely stumped by the fact that you could buy it.
Some sort of fear or phobia?
Can this manifest itself - without the influence/impact of another being?
awkwardly phrased, sorry - but I can't think of any other way to ask
Is it a virus?
I'm thinking influenza or some such
Breadmaster - I have no conclusive proof that goldfish have it, but in theory I don't see why not. Chalky - It doesnt need the influence of another "being", LotUS - it's not a virus.
Breadmaster - let's just say you dont buy "it" but spending money could could increase "its" likelihood.
