Is it legit if someone asks a question that totally changes the subject? :dubious: ---

But wouldn’t it be more fun (and much more of a challenge) to only ask a question that’s specifically relevant to the previous question? (Um, does that sentence make sense? LOL) I mean, how is it an actual “game” if the questions are just willy-nilly, and not strung together in some coherent fashion? (And are we allowed to ask multiple questions in a single post?:D) ---

Hey, what’s up with the other question thread? Are we not good enough? Or do they feel intimidated? ---

Is anyone ever going to win this game? Does anyone think we need to rethink the rules? Or should we just ignore my previous 2 questions? ---

Why would you think that? Is it because of the catchphrase? Is only the Joker allowed to use that phrase? (Wasn’t the version of the Joker in Dark Knight a little far away from canon for anyone elses taste?) ---

Folks, sorry I took so long to notice this one, but this isn’t a game in any conventional sense, it’s a MPSIMS thread with a bunch of question marks. I’m closing this. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-question-game/474911.md?page=36)
