Guess who the next poster will be. It better not be Athena since she didn’t play my last game. Be as vague as you want since that is how most people believe psychcics works. But have something more specific than the next posters username will consist of letters (fill out the form). You have to guess 3 or more from the following list: 1. Gender 2. Children 3. Specific Username (2 or more characters in the username count) 4. Job 5. City (or state)where the post from primarily (or known to be generally such as Coldfire is generally known to be in Amsterdam) 6. Marital Status 7. Type of Pet if any 8. Colour of hair 9. Colour of eyes 10. Distinguishing personality characteristics Extra points will be awarded by the more that you get correct. Also the next poster should post what they actually are in the above and provide their next guess. I will start. 1. Male 2. Nope 3. SqrlCub (I am first) 4. Gov’t employee 5. Currently in DC originally from San Antonio 6. Currently dating DC but we are not allowed to get married 7. 1 cat 8. Dark Blond/light brown 9. Green 10.Gay and likes Santa Claus and Ed Asner also knowledgeable about classical music. Not sure what other things people would add I predict the next poster will be the following: 1. Female 2. No Children 3. Username contains some of the letters A, N, and V 4. Computer geek 5. Lives in Ohio 6. Single 7. 2 cats 8. Med Brown Hair 9. Blue eyes 10. Really dislikes being called Chick, dancing, and stealing global secrets. HUGS! Sqrl ---

Let’s see how well magdalene compares with frankd6. Franks stats: ``` 1. Male 2. Two daughters 3. Frankd6 4. Insurance regulatory attorney 5. Frankfort, KY area 6. Married (12 years) 7. two dogs (Boxers -- Skipper & Ginger) and about 7 outside cats 8. Graying, but originally reddish brown 9. Hazel 10. Rapier wit ``` Magdelene’s prediction: ``` 1. Male 2. no kids 3. D, M, A 4. computer geek 5. California 6. single 7. Dog 8. Blue, no, Yellow! No, Green! AAAAaaaaahhhhhhhh 9. Blue 10. Distinguishing personality characteristics: Monty Python fanatic. Plays guitar. Quiet in large groups of people. ``` So that makes 1, 3, 7, 9 (if you do hazel the anything from blue to brown thing), and 10 I think the wit comes in there and frank is relatively quiet here overall. 🙂 The next poster will be: 1. Male 2. 1 kid (girl) 3. E F I 4. writer (but only in his spare time) 5. Texas (possibly Dallas) 6. divorced 7. no pets currently, likes dogs though 8. greying but originally darker haired 9. Brown 10. especially sarcastic and flirty. 🙂 HUGS! Sqrl [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-3-the-psychic-game-yes-i-am-in-a-game-mood-this-week/44526.md?page=2)
