This one's simple. There's a "Baggins" (the one who has something in its pockets[esesesss]), and then there're a bunch of Gollums (the ones guessing what's in its pockets[esesesss]).
The Baggins must come up with an object (objects that will not actually fit in its pockets[esesesss] are acceptable) before the game begins. Once the Baggins has an object in mind (and in pockets[esesesss]), s/he posts to let the Gollums know s/he's ready.
The Gollums have 3 guesses. To make it easier, they can ask the Baggins for a hint. The things that can be requested are:
Size of the object. The Baggins gives a one-word answer of another object that's roughly the same size as the object in his pockets(esesesss).
Shape of the object. As above, but same shape, not size. OR the Baggins can simply say 'Circular' or something similar.
Weight of the object. The Baggins must give the relative weight of the object as accurately as possible using either the Imperial or Metric system.
Gollums are encouraged to request hints along with their guesses, though they do not have to. Hints can be requested ONLY after a guess; never before. So, once a hint has been given, another guess must be made before another hint can be given. Therefor, the Gollums can have only 2 of the 3 possible hints... One or both of which may turn out to be completely useless.
The Gollums may request a specific hint. "Size hint, please." This is also encouraged, as most Baggins(esesesss) will choose the most useless hint if the Gollum doesn't ask for a specific one.
That said... What's in my pockets(esesesss)? =D
EDIT: Although it's obvious, I didn't mention that the Gollum correctly guesses what's in its pockets(esesesss) takes the next turn at stuffing an elephant (or whatever else) down their pants. If nobody gets it, the object is revealed and one of Gollums who participated is chosen to be the next Baggins.
