I've thought up a new game. IN thinking about it, I liked how in the survivor game there was a set time to play. I'd like to know if anyone else would be interested. To avoid conflict, I would not start this new game until after Survivor is over.
What is this wonderful new game you ask? It is a verison of "What's My Line?" (Eryk Davis Ester mentioned Dorothy Kilgallon which got me watching the old show on YouTube)
So, how it would work is I (or another player) acts as host and picks the mystery guest. The mystery guest could be any fictional character from comics (I think it's best to limit it and later expand if enough interest is there)
The panel then has to guess the identity of the mystery guest by asking yes or no questions. If a panelist gets a "no" response to a question, that panelist can't ask another question until there has been another "no" response. Also a panelist can only ask one question at a time and must get a "yes" response beofre asking another.
If after 10 "No" responses, the mystery guest has won and stumped the panel. The panelist who correctly identifies the mystery guest can then be the host or pass it on to someone else.

Exnihil has said that the Survivor game should be over in a week and a half.

Sort of a variation on 20 Questions. I like the sound of it too.

To remind our panelists, the mystery guest can be any fictional character from comics. That includes humor comics, superhero comics, funny animal comics, etc. It can be main characters, supporting characters, protagonists, or antagonists.

Judging by the long pause, you seem somewhat unsure of your hero status.
Are you an anti-hero?
