plural ask game ~ for large collectives
some ask games have prompts to ask about every member of collective , but beyond even 20 those can be really unwieldy , let alone when reach hundreds , thousands , and beyond .
these questions gear for collectives with hundreds-plus populations , though some can still apply for any size , and write in way that aim to be framework and origin neutral . this is for any who would like to participate , no matter type of experiences :)
