The b3ta qotw mystery profiler game!
Law enforcement often profiles mystery criminals to find out who they are. We could make it the type of game only b3ta could play!

Here's how it works: The powers that be at b3ta create a bogus user (without telling us, of course) with some harmless name like "bluebeard," "upper GI Joe" or "Tony Blair." Then for four weeks or so, this bogus b3tan posts answers to QOTWs. Afterward, it is revealed which user is the bogus b3tan, and the real b3tans must go through the qotw answers to "profile" this person. That would be that week's question: name as much as you can about the character, things like gender, nationality, marital status, whatever, of the mystery (wo)man based on clues left in the answers. They could even encode clues like their name, etc. Whoever gets the most right about the bogus character gets some sort of prize.

Takes me back to my college days of playing D&D and Top Secret!
