The Question Game

[Bowwowmeow]

This is a game in which every reply must come in the form of a question.

Here goes:

Why have I suddenly gone so smilie-crazy??? :crazy::dizzy:

[Gliondrach]

What should we do with the vampire after he has eaten all the steak eaters?

[Doughnut]

Could he not be used to eat people coming out of KFC?

[Gliondrach]

Wouldn't he get very ill eating people who ate there?

[Doughnut]

Can vampires get ill?

[Gliondrach]

Can't they get dead? You can't get more ill than that.

[Doughnut]

Is dead and buried not more ill then being dead but thirsty?

[Gliondrach]

Is that more than being dead thirsty?

[Blueshark]

Is it not time to drink milk not blood?

[Gliondrach]

What kind of milk?

[Blueshark]

Are you concerned whether it is dairy or a nut-milk?

[Gliondrach]

What about soya milk or oat milk?

[gabbles]

What about the milk of human kindness?

[Gliondrach]

Isn't it mainly people who don't drink milk who have the most of that?

[nagev]

Most of what?

[Gliondrach]

What is the most it could be?

[nagev]

Maybe all of it?

[Gliondrach]

Shouldn't some be left for others?

[nagev]

Why would anyone else want any?

[Gliondrach]

Any of what?

[nagev]

Why are you asking me?

[Gliondrach]

Should I ask someone else?

[nagev]

Who would you ask?

[Gliondrach]

Who could tell me the answer to that?

[nagev]

Maybe the next poster?

[Gliondrach]

Who will that be?

[nagev]

Wouldn't that be you since you posted right after my post?

[Gliondrach]

Surely, it was you - in answer to my question?

[nagev]

Why would you think it was me, and why did you call me 'Shirly?'

[Gliondrach]

Could I have thought I was communicating with someone else?

[nagev]

Well, that depends which person were you communicating with?

[Gliondrach]

Am I not communicating with the people who communicate with be by replying to my replies to the replies of others?

[nagev]

Why would you think any other way?

[Gliondrach]

Are some ways better than others?

[nagev]

That depends, who wants to know?

[Gliondrach]

If I told you, what would you do with that knowledge?

[nagev]

Don't you trust me?

[Gliondrach]

Did I imply that I might not?

[nagev]

You weren't questioning my motives?

[Gliondrach]

Should motives always be questioned?

[nagev]

Did I state they always should be questioned?

[Gliondrach]

Did I state that you stated they should, or was I asking if they should be?

[nagev]

I don't know, can't you tell me?

[Gliondrach]

Do you remember what started all this?

[nagev]

No, do you?

[Gliondrach]

Does anyone know?

[nagev]

I don't, but can anyone else answer that?

[Gliondrach]

Do some questions not have answers?

[nagev]

Perhaps, what is the definition of a question?

[Gliondrach]

Could it be a number of words that are used to request an answer?

[nagev]

Okay, so can not answering be an answer?

[Gliondrach]

Does not answering use any words?

[nagev]

If it doesn't, then is it really clear between whether a question doesn't have an answer vs when a question is answered by not answering?

[Gliondrach]

Are there any questions that don't have words?

[nagev]

How can you ask a question without words?

[Gliondrach]

Is that your answer?

[nagev]

What do you think?

[Gliondrach]

Can you guess?

[nagev]

I'm not sure, guess about what exactly?

[Gliondrach]

Do you want a clue?

[nagev]

Well that depends, what kind of clue?

[Gliondrach]

Would it be a clue about what type of clue you could ask for?

[nagev]

Sure, what is the clue?

[Gliondrach]

Do you think I know?

[nagev]

Do you think that I think you know?

[Doughnut]

Can you give us a clue?

[nagev]

Why are you asking me?

[Gliondrach]

If not you, who?

[nagev]

How exactly am I supposed to answer that?

[Gliondrach]

If you don't know, who would?

[nagev]

Why can't you?

[Gliondrach]

Does someone say I can't?

[nagev]

No, but why are you asking me if you could?

[Gliondrach]

If I couldn't, would I not ask you if I couldn't not answer what I didn't know about not knowing?

[nagev]

Could you please repeat the question in a simpler format?

[Gliondrach]

Do you think I can formulate it in a more simple way?

[nagev]

Don't you understand your own question?

[Gliondrach]

Would you ask Wittgenstein to explain his whole philosophy in one short sentence?

[nagev]

Isn't he dead?

[Gliondrach]

Should we hold that against him?

[nagev]

No, but how would I ask a dead person something and expect a reply?

[Gliondrach]

Would a medium be able to help?

[nagev]

A medium what?

[Gliondrach]

Would a large medium be called a maximum?

[nagev]

Wouldn't the largest medium be called a maximum of mediums?

[Gliondrach]

What's the minimum requirement to become a medium?

[nagev]

Would that not just be larger than the largest small?

[Gliondrach]

And would it be smaller than the smallest large?

[nagev]

Isn't a small, smaller than a large in any case?

[Gliondrach]

Doesn't it depend on the size of the case?

[nagev]

Isn't size what we're comparing?

[Gliondrach]

In that case, can't we get rid of all this baggage and move on to another discussion?

[nagev]

Yes, now what shall we talk about?

[Gliondrach]

Should we talk about the weather?

[nagev]

Sure, is it raining there?

[Gliondrach]

Is what raining?

[Doughnut]

Is raining a metaphor for something else?

[Gliondrach]

Is something else a metaphor for rain?

[nagev]

What would you have in mind?

[Gliondrach]

That's strange. I posted a repy but it's gone. Unless I pressed the wrong button.

Here it is again:

Would I have thoughts, ideas and memories in mind?

[nagev]

Can you tell me what's in your mind?

[Gliondrach]

Would you mind if I didn't?

[nagev]

Do you think my mind wouldn't mind if your mind doesn't mind if you didn't?

[Gliondrach]

Should I keep that in mind?

[nagev]

Does your mind mind?

[Gliondrach]

Does your subconscious mind mind what your conscious mind is minding?

[nagev]

Why are you bringing my subconscious mind and whether it minds what my mind minds into this discussion about what minds are minding?

[Gliondrach]

Which of your minds minds what my minds are mindful of when I enquire about what your minds mind?

[nagev]

What?

[Gliondrach]

You talking to me?

[nagev]

Wasn't that just typed?

[Gliondrach]

You typing to me?

[nagev]

Can't anyone read this, so wouldn't it be typing anyone with access?

[Gliondrach]

To whom are you addressing your pedantic remarks?

[Blueshark]

Who is being pedantic about whom?

[Gliondrach]

Who wants to know?

[nagev]

Why can't you answer that?

[Gliondrach]

Why are you asking?

[Blueshark]

Are we going to see a fight?

[Gliondrach]

Do you believe anyone could beat me? :biff:

[nagev]

Why would anyone want to beat you?

[Gliondrach]

Isn't there always someone who wants to prove that he can beat the unbeatable?

[nagev]

You believe you're unbeatable?

[Gliondrach]

As I can never be beaten, doesn't that make me unbeatable?

[nagev]

Why do you think you can never be beaten?

[Gliondrach]

Can you prove that I can be beaten?

[nagev]

No, but can you prove that you cannot be beaten?

[Gliondrach]

Don't my accomplishments - never having been beaten - speak for themselves?

[nagev]

How can accomplishments speak?

[Gliondrach]

Are you denying them a voice?

[nagev]

What kind of voice do you think they have?

[Gliondrach]

Will it be a commanding voice?

[nagev]

Why would they have a commanding voice?

[Gliondrach]

Wouldn't Accomplishments accomplish more if they had a commanding voice?

[nagev]

Have you ever heard an accomplishment accomplish something because of its commanding voice?

[Gliondrach]

Would it be a great accomplishment for an accomplishment to accomplish commanding in a commandingly accomplished voice?

[nagev]

Don't I live in the state of denial?

[Gliondrach]

Do you deny that you live in a state?

[nagev]

Would you deny my living in the state of denial?

[Gliondrach]

Which state is next to the state of denial?

[nagev]

Why would there be a state next to the state of denial?

[Gliondrach]

Is the state of denial not one of the united denied states?

[nagev]

Doesn't the state of denial exist anywhere there is the concept of denial?

[Gliondrach]

What if someone denies the very existence of denial?

[nagev]

Would they then be confused?

[Gliondrach]

What if they confused confusion for knowing?

[nagev]

So they're denying their confused confusion and thinking it really is knowledge?

[Gliondrach]

Perhaps they know that they are confused and don't know that they confuse knowing with confusion.

[nagev]

Was that supposed to be a question?

[Gliondrach]

Are you getting confused or are you denying it?

[nagev]

Can't I be both?

[Gliondrach]

What - denying that you are confused?

[nagev]

Why not?

[Gliondrach]

So, you don't deny it?

[gabbles]

Would you believe him if he did?

[Gliondrach]

Are you denying that Nagev might tell the truth?

[nagev]

Can't I deny nothing and everything?

[Gliondrach]

Why not take the Fifth?

[nagev]

Take the fifth what?

[Gliondrach]

Could it be the Fifth Regiment of Foot - my pater's second regiment?

[nagev]

I do not know, where would I take it then?

[Gliondrach]

How can you take it when it no longer exists?

[nagev]

Why would you tell me to take it then?

[Gliondrach]

Didn't I just suggest that you take the Fifth - expecting you to assume it meant the Fifth Amazment of the US Constitution - but you didn't seem to assume it, so I suggested some other Fifth without any intention of what you should take it for or to or from?

[nagev]

What's the Fifth Amazment of the US Constitution?

[Gliondrach]

Isn't it the one that says no one can be compelled to taste something in case they don't like it?

[nagev]

Why didn't I know of that as a child?

[Gliondrach]

Have you been denied your Constitutional rights - especially under the Fifth Amazement?

[nagev]

How do I find out?

[Gliondrach]

Would your senator be able to tell you?

[nagev]

Why would my senator be able to tell me?

[Gliondrach]

Could it be because he or she is able to talk?

[nagev]

So you're saying the ability to talk allows one to discuss the Amazing Fifth Amazement?

[Gliondrach]

Do you find that idea amazing?

[nagev]

Do you not?

[Gliondrach]

What if I didn't?

[nagev]

What would you do?

[Gliondrach]

What would I do about what?

[nagev]

Does it look like I know that answer?

[Gliondrach]

Who would know if you looked as if you knew the answer to the question in response to the question you asked about the question I asked?

[nagev]

Wow, could that be any more confusing of a question about an answer about a question in response to another question asked about another question?

[Gliondrach]

What was the original question?

[nagev]

Why would I want to go look that up?

[Gliondrach]

Could you learn something if you did?

[gabbles]

Can anyone learn anything from this? :confused:

[nagev]

What are we talking about?

[Gliondrach]

Are we trying to find out what some original question was and if we could learn anything from the knowledge of what it was and what it meant?

[nagev]

So what was the original question?

[Gliondrach]

Could it have been the first one?

[nagev]

The first one of what?

[Gliondrach]

Was it the first of the questions that we are asking about?

[nagev]

So are you asking about the first question ever asked?

[Gliondrach]

What could have been the first question ever asked?

[nagev]

The original question?

[Gliondrach]

What was it and who asked it?

[nagev]

How will we ever know without a time machine?

[Gliondrach]

If we knew what the first answer was, could we work out what the question was?

[nagev]

Possibly, what was the first answer?

[Gliondrach]

Could we work it out if we knew who asked the first question?

[nagev]

I'm not sure, who asked the first question?

[Gliondrach]

Who could we ask?

[nagev]

Perhaps someone with all the answers?

[Gliondrach]

Or someone with all the questions?

[nagev]

Who has all the questions or all the answers?

[Gliondrach]

If there is such a source, how could we find out who or where it is?

[nagev]

Maybe we could start with where such a person would be?

[Gliondrach]

If we find where such a person would be, how could we recognise the said such person?

[nagev]

Ask them questions?

[Gliondrach]

Which questions?

[nagev]

Wouldn't it have to be all questions?

[Gliondrach]

How long would it take to ask all the questions?

[nagev]

I assume there are an infinite number of questions, so wouldn't it take an infinite amount of time?

[Gliondrach]

Would time run out before all the questions could be asked?

[nagev]

Maybe we should start with that one when we ask this person?

[Gliondrach]

What question do we ask to ascertain that we are asking the right person?

[nagev]

Do you have any ideas about that?

[Gliondrach]

Could that be the question to ask the person who might be the person who could answer the question that we could put to them if they answer that question in a way that leads us to believe they may be the person to ask?

[gabbles]

How do we know whoever is asked will tell the truth?

[nagev]

Good point, what other tests can we do?

[Gliondrach]

What about giving them a truth serum?

[nagev]

What if they just think they are though, but really not?

[Gliondrach]

What if they just think they aren't but really are?

[nagev]

What will we do then?

[Gliondrach]

Should we offer a reward to the person who can answer the question about the answers to all questions?

[nagev]

What if there are too many people trying to answer that question and we get overwhelmed and bogged down just with the testing?

[Gliondrach]

Should each of them have to prove that they are able to answer every question that could possibly be asked before we decide who can enter the competition to find the person who can answer every question that could possibly be asked?

[nagev]

What was all this for again?

[Gliondrach]

Could that have been the first question?

[nagev]

Why am I confused?

[Gliondrach]

Why are you asking me?

[nagev]

Can't I just ask a general question of anyone?

[Gliondrach]

Would anyone ask that of a General?

[nagev]

Would it be inappropriate to ask of a General?

[Gliondrach]

Is it generally inappropriate to ask Generals certain questions?

[nagev]

What if you're higher ranking than a General?

[Gliondrach]

Are you thinking of a Field Marshall?

[nagev]

Which one?

[Gliondrach]

Monty?

[nagev]

Monty Python is a Field Marshall?

[Gliondrach]

Didn't Monty Python have something to do with the Spanish Inquisition?

[nagev]

Maybe, should we ask Monty Python?

[Gliondrach]

Is there such a being?

[nagev]

I'm not sure, could we should ask the person who knows everything?

[Gliondrach]

Isn't that what we have been trying to discover how we could discover who that could be and what questions we could ask so we could know that person was such a person?

[nagev]

It seems we're in a bit of a pickle, doesn't it?

[Gliondrach]

What kind of pickle would you prefer?

[nagev]

I don't really like pickles, can I prefer something else?

[Gliondrach]

What would you prefer to prefer?

[nagev]

Could I prefer to be in a bit of jam?

[Gliondrach]

What flavour?
