NASC Auction will open in...

Read the rules first :)
NASC auction is OPEN!!
Because TF has been lacking a game for a while.

*PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST*

Basically, it's Guess Who? except it's with carnivorous plants. Some rules are modified however, but this is how it goes:

I start off (or the person who guess correctly) and pick a plant, and you guys begin to guess. You can guess random plants, but it's better to narrow down the category the plant is in and then take a guess. For example:

"Does the plant have pitchers? If so, is it Nepenthes ventricosa? (or) If not, drosera capensis?" But you can't do a guess that crosses out TWO OR MORE categories, such as, "Does the plant have pitchers? If so, it is a Nepenthes?" (or) "Is the plant a Nepenthes? If not, is it a Sarracenia?" Makes guess too quick.

The person who has a plant pick must answer the questions correctly in order and list what has been answered "yes" or "no" and incorrect guesses.

Here's an example of how the game should go:

"Picked a plant. Guessing a-gogo!"

"Is the plant a Nepenthes? If so, Nepenthes truncata?"

"Does the plant have pitchers? If so, Sarracenia flava?"

"Drosera aliciae?"

"Yes, no, yes, no, no.

Nepenthes - yes
Pitchers - yes

Incorrect guesses: Nepenthes truncata, Sarracenia flava, Drosera aliciae."

And when a person correctly guesses a plant, it is his/her turn to pick a plant and have people guess.

One more important thing, DO NOT PICK AN UNCOMMON CULTIVAR OR HYBRIDS. SPECIES OR COMMOM CULTIVARS ONLY (Such as Dana's Delight, Judith Hindle, Lady Pauline, B52) SO THAT IT IS NOT INCREDIBLY HARD.

Ok, ready?

GUESSING A-GOGO!

Edit: And another thing. If the guessings go on for too long of a time and people can't seem to guess the plant, please give out your answer and pick the next person to be it.

Edit #2: Height: Tall - +10", medium - 6"- 10", small - 6" - Whatever.
 
No and no. But seeing you're asking about height, I'll say that 10 inches+ is considered tall.

Sticky - no
Drosera - no
Pitchers - yes
10"+ pitchers - no.

Incorrect guesses: Heliamphora minor, Sarracenia alata.
 
Ah. Hmm. Not exactly sure how to answer that. I would suppose so.

Yes and no.

Sticky - no
Drosera - no
Pitchers - yes
10"+ pitchers - no
Rare Nepenthes - yes


Incorrect guesses: Heliamphora minor, Sarracenia alata, Nepenthes clipeata.
 
No, no, no, no, and no. Lol.

Sticky - no
Drosera - no
Pitchers - yes
10"+ pitchers - no
Lowland - no
Toothy - no


Incorrect guesses: Heliamphora minor, Sarracenia alata, Nepenthes clipeata, Nepenthes ampullaria, Nepenthes edwardsiana, Nepenthes tenuis.
 
Would it be a species of Nepenthes from an oddball area (like India or Madagascar?), and if so, Nepenthes pervillei?
 
No and no.

Sticky - no
Drosera - no
Pitchers - yes
10"+ pitchers - no
Lowland - no
Toothy - no
Oddball place - no

Incorrect guesses: Heliamphora minor, Sarracenia alata, Nepenthes clipeata, Nepenthes ampullaria, Nepenthes edwardsiana, Nepenthes tenuis, Nepenthes pervillei
 
Yes and I would supposed so, yes.

Sticky - no
Drosera - no
Pitchers - yes
10"+ pitchers - no
Lowland - no
Toothy - no
Oddball place - no
Well known - yes
Colorful - more or less, yes.
