    Default Random Trivial Pursuit

    Yeah, we need a game. This is the only thing I can think of. The questions can be about anything unless it's personal, and try to keep sexual references and whatnot down a little bit. The first person to get the question right goes next. Also, random guesses when you don't know the answer will be treated as spam.

    Recap:

    1.) Random guesses = bad
    2.) No personal, sexual or otherwise restricted content
    3.) First person to get said question right goes next.
    4.) Try not to make the questions impossible
    5.) Topics can be about anything.

    I know it's a very weird game for an emulation board, but I've been bored lately, and Guess The Game has gotten so obscure it's not fun anymore. :\

    I'll start: Mary Shelley was how old when she published Frankenstein?

    Hee. Close. I'll allow an answer within a few years of degree. So, say she was 46 when she wrote it, then 45 and 47 would also be correct. I don't have the exact month of publication.

    Incorrecto. Although you're getting warmer. She was 19 when she began to write the novel.

    Beautifully done. That's the age I figured out, although I think 19 may have been correct as well. I just found out she was born on August 30th, and Frankenstein was published January 1st, 1818

    I knew she was somewhere around that age. I guess I was off by a bit though.

    I would have guessed a lot older had I not picked up the novel earlier today. I have a thing for classic literature, such as Dracula and Frankenstein.

    Also, a young swan is a cygnet, I believe. If I'm right, someone else take my turn. I have movies to watch.
