Since you did have one DQ left, I won’t object. But I do think jumping the gun like that violates our normal gameplay. ---

However, I realize how it could cheat the other players out of their fair chances to guess the person. I offer you my apologies. Would you like to take “S”, in compensation? ---

Actually, I already did ‘S’ a few turns back, so ‘T’ should be next. 🙂 The main drawback I see is that you’re limiting yourself by not waiting for the other DQs to be asked. You were right this time, but what if you hadn’t been? My remaining DQs might have completely ruled out your guess, in which case you would have wasted your “Firstname Lastname” question. ---

You were right this time, but what if you hadn’t been? My remaining DQs might have completely ruled out your guess, in which case you would have wasted your “Firstname Lastname” question. True, but I had a hunch. I knew that I was loosing my last arrow, but I thought it was worth a shot - I figured that if I didn’t, some smart sumbitch like **Elendil’s Heir** or **Knowed Out** or that **SCAdian** feller would get it on the next turn. But yes, I agree that not letting you get your last DQ in did rob you of a chance. My apologies again. Okay, so … I am T! ---

Well done, **SMV** , although I do agree with **SCAdian** that it would’ve been better to wait for your “Are you Firstname Lastname?” question. A word to the wise, and all. T it is! IQs: Did you die in San Francisco in 1870 but were buried on the other side of the continent? Were you Cmdr. Riker’s transporter duplicate? Did the same actor play you, and a second royal brother, and a British cop? ---

Grats SMV. I used to think I had to have an extra DQ in order to make the game guess. Live and loin. IQ1: Are you QB for the Miami Dolphins? IQ2: Are you head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers? IQ3: Despite winning the Heisman Trophy in 2007, did you only last a couple seasons in the NFL because it turned out your Florida Gator teammates were the reason for your success?
