The Questionable Game of Questions

Postby Snickie » Fri Aug 17, 2012 12:57 am

Here’s a game that I stole from another forum and I am blatantly copying and pasting from that topic. I thought we could give this a shot, it sounds fun and right up our alley with the whole continuous game thing.

Les rules:

The first person asks a question (ex. How is the weather?) The next person must answer that question, WITH a question. (ex. Why don't you go and find out?) The next person answers THAT question with a question (ex. What if I don't want to?) and so on and so on.

1) The question asked MUST be related to the previous in some way. It is allowed to ask if we can change the subject.
2) Statements are only allowed within parenthesis.
3) No crude humor; be civilized but funny.
4) And, of coure, follow the rules of the forum.

I think that's about everything.


So, let’s see how this starts out. The first question:


Will you play the Questionable Game of Questions?

Do you really think I've got time for something like that?

Do you have to know what a question is, to be sofisticated?

Is sophistication indeed so sophisticated?

What will happen on the day that society decides that sophistication is no longer sophisticated?

What will happen on the day when there's no society anymore?

Do you mean the supposedly civilized society of human beings or the relatively primitive societies of other living beings as well?

Aren't we just another primitive society, in comparison to aliens?

But what proof do we have that aliens also exist in societies of their own?
