Bilbo's walking stick? Not sure if he had one, but I think he did (haven't got The Hobbit ).

People no longer pre-empt. This is a scary precedent.

Start asking.

That's because Saucepan came in a while ago and said stop asking pre-empt questions.

Anyhow, is it alive?

He did? Well, what a spoilsport!

Actually, I don't think that I ever did suggest that there should be no pre-emptive questions. Not on this thread, anyway.

So feel free to pre-empt away. Seems pointless to me, though, as the quesion-setter can just choose a subject to which the answer to the pre-emptive questions is "No".

Well, even without pre-emptive questions, one can change her mind too, before answering the first set of questions. I think pre-emptive questions just makes you make up your mind quicker.

Anywhen...

Is it an object? No
Is it a place? Non
Does it belong to a Wizard? Nyet
Anyhow, is it alive? Nein
First Age? Nope
Is it an event? A-yup

I'm assuming that people follow the spirit of the game and stick with what they first thought of. Am I assuming too much?

Did it involve a Steward?
