> [@etv78](#): > > Can we at least be consistent in granting DQs then? Either grant them if you’re wrong, [or] not if thinking of someone else. Different posters have different standards it seems. Not on this point, that I can recall. If you ask an IQ and the gamemaster’s answer fits your question and is factually correct, even if it wasn’t the person you were thinking of, you haven’t earned a DQ. That’s the way we’ve always done it. ---
