Body Swap Game

[ Suddenly, there is a weird beam of light that sweeps the room from end to end. As it sweeps across your body, your feel... strange. Like your body is quite your own. You feel a bit dizzy even.

When you can refocus again, you'll find your body really isn't your own anymore. Neither are your clothes--which have lost all their color, and may appear to belong to that of another team in terms of style?

The tables with their electronic signboards are now lit, and each display a set of two numbers--one of them matches the one now suddenly on the front of your clothing... ]

1. This is a double-blind body swap 20 Questions game. It will have three rounds, each lasting one hour each.

2. For each round, your character will spend their time in someone else's body. The goal of each round is to correctly guess the identity of your mystery partner, who has also been body-swapped.

3. You will be given pre-determined, assigned swaps for each round. Do not go off your assignment unless asked to, and do not tell anyone who you have been assigned to swap to.

4. Please be sure to use a burner account for each character, and give it at least one icon (used by the actual character) so that others will know who you're swapped to look like.

5. Your character has been assigned a number, which magically appears on the front of their now-gray clothes right before the start of round one. Each round, their number will display at a different table. This is how guessing partners have been determined.

6. You may ask a grand total of twenty questions of your partner and you have an hour before the next round starts for official scoring. However, you may only ask questions which can be responded to with a yes or no answer.

7. Characters are unable to knowingly lie when giving answers. They must truthfully answer with a yes, no, maybe, or I don't know (or some variation thereof). Nor can they choose not to respond. However, a character may accidentally lie if they haven't remembered the truth, and they may choose to provide more information when they want to.

8. Characters are allowed to try to act as though they are someone else to throw another character off the trail.

9. Characters are not not allowed to do anything that would physically harm the character whose body they've swapped into.

If you wish to do something OOCly that you believe might cause mental harm or anguish to another character, please contact a game runner first.

10. Powers are on, with the exception of any psychic abilities or other abilities that might allow a participant to know unfairly the identity of their partner. Powers are tied to the original person's soul, not their body, so they go with your character.

11. It is recommended that you have two threads, one for each character, that you carry simultaneously as opposed to trying to do one and then the other.

12. Please keep track of the following information, which you will need to turn in at the end of the game:

The number of "yes" responses you receive, both per round and the game total.
The total number of times you figure out a person's true identity.
The fastest time you succeed in guessing someone's identity.

13. Shards will be awarded to half of the cats and half of the regular participating teams.

14. If you have any questions or need to withdraw early or late, please contact the game runners! Gil is reachable either as Gil on mIRC or verisimilitude on Plurk. Quinn is reachable as quiverby on Plurk and lapis on mIRC.

This is what a round might look like.

Character A top levels to this! As the top leveler, her partner will try to guess her true identity.

Character B top levels to this! As the top leveler, his partner will try to guess her true identity.

Are you a boy?

No!

Can you sing?

I can sing, dance, and act! I'm a triple threat!

Whoo hoo! Number 90 here to do this!

Hopefully you're getting the idea by now.

[ looks bored ]

Oh how fun! Let's see. Do you like baseball?

The number of true identities per round your character managed total
