[/QUOTE] If the OP doesn’t know to whom the poster is referring, the poster gets a direct question so as to narrow the field possible people.

It’s in [the rules](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botticelli_(game)). ---

I saw nothing about any DQ, and it still means Dairy Queen to me. Nevertheless, I am bowing out since this game is over my head. Maybe someone will start a 20 questions thread 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Abby\_Emma\_Sasha] Okay, I really didn’t get any of that on the Wiki page. [/QUOTE] for clarification’s sake, for anyone else wondering about this subject, the second item in “indirect mode” states \*“No, and I don’t know who you’re thinking of.” — The chooser can’t think of someone meeting the criteria. The guesser reveals their answer, and the game changes to direct mode. \*In Direct Mode, player asks “It” a direct ‘yes or no’ question to determine facts about “It”'s identity ---

In a review of the Rules I note that Direct Mode is supposed to continue as long as the answer is Yes. This means that Johnny L.A. gets two more shots at Direct Mode (for the questions “Are you in politics?” and “Are you male?”); anyrose gets one (for the question “Are currently living?”). So have at it. ---
