Rules clarification: In the rules linked in the OP a player wins if s/he guesses my identity, and I win if everyone gives up. To keep things reasonable, the game will end if no one guesses my identity after 20 DQs. How long after? I’m thinking three guesses after 20 DQ answers have been posted. ---
