The Atheist Game

I have a picture of something. We're going to play a game where everyone tries to identify what that picture is of. Post your guesses. I'll give a description of what it is not. We're going to see how long it takes to identify my object by describing what it is not.

Once every day or so I'll come in here and update this post with a new non-descriptor for every incorrect guess.

I'll give you three items to start:

It does not believe in god or gods.
It does not make claims about knowledge.
It does not collect stamps.
It is not composed of anti-matter.
It is not a cube.
It is not a sphere.
It is not edible.
It is not a liquid.

The problem with this game is the range of answers is too broad. You have to put a limit to the situation in which the players can guess.
A - Everything
∩ - Intersection
B - Thing which it is not

(1, 2, ..., N) ∩ (1, 2, 3) = ?

The correct way of playing this game is like so:

(1, 2, ...,10) ∩ (1, 2, 3) = ?

A similar version, but works.

In a room, there is a broken glass, a pool of water, romeo and juliet died, but there is not physical wounds. What is the cause of their death? You can only ask questions which can be answered by yes or no.

;)

Of course, I'm looking forward as to how you will make your game work.

No, it's not a logic game or a riddle.

I've PM'd myself a picture and I'll post it when someone guesses what the focus of the picture is.

If you want to use logic, it has to be something that can be caught on film.

I'm describing something, you have to guess what I'm describing. You don't get to ask questions, but I'll tell you traits it hasn't got for every incorrect guess.

You are not describing anything. What you are doing is describing what it is not. What I am pointing out is that the choices is way to many. (1,2,...,N) ∩ (1,2,3)

This is my criticism of your game.

This is my criticism of defining ourselves as atheists. :)

I'm glad you understand the point.

That is a subject of another thread. ;)

Is it a form of dogmatic absolutism with clearly identifiable leaders and lies that mankind can live in a universe devoid of meaning?

EDIT: Aww. I can't ask questions?

Updated. Just placing here so I know all guesses above have been counted up to "it is not a liquid"

Since this seems to have lost interest, here's the picture.
