NOOOOOOOOO!
I’m with no option save Conspiracy to blow my time.

It was for Priceguy (and him being online), a reference to Mickey Spillane.
Might have had a shot at featherlou if she’d posted more ( :dubious: ), but the other two – too subtle for me.
Well played, everyone – I enjoyed this immensely, despite my hissy fit whenever it was that I threw my hissy fit.
And, yeah, I’m compiling a list of quirk possibilities, should anyone want to play again at some point …
ETA: Outstanding job of hosting, Diomedes!
I’m on.
My quirk (private investigator investigating bbs2k for those not keeping score) was excellent. Playing it was hilarious. It was rather difficult to get across without overdoing it, though. The “interested in bbs2k” bit was easy enough, but the specific motivation was very tricky. He kept not answering my questions, too. When he compiled information on me and said that I was equally interested no matter who or what the subject was, I knew the hosts were in trouble. I had only asked about bbs2k, but that had slipped them by.
Nuts!
Well played, guests.
And good job coordinating, other hosts.
I would not have guessed BM’s quirk, not in a million years. Never occurred to me at all.
Kat’s quirk…I’d like to say I would have narrowed it down, but I wasn’t even close.
Featherlou’s quirk definitely needed to be poked at more to be obvious.
Definitely a fun game.
Pre /in for the next one!
For anyone interested, a complete list of the names used or implied follows.
The game moderator guessed a partial list in the Forbidden thread that included at least one extra (I think it was manhattan). Manny may be in there somewhere, but it wasn’t intentional.

high-fives dotchan and bbs2k – 'twas definitely fun playing with you guys!
To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep no more. And by a sleep to say we end the heartache, and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to. Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep. To sleep, perchance to dream. Aye, there’s the rub. For in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause. There’s the respect that makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, the oppressors wrong, the proud man’s contumely, the law’s delay, the insolence of office, and the spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes, when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear, to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death, the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns, makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others we know not of. Thus conscience does make cowards of us all. And thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pith and moment in this regard their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action.
Ahhh… just had to get that off my chest.
(Typed from memory. Just one more useless bit of information stored permanently in my brain taking up the space that should be remembering where I put my keys.)
[sup]1[/sup]That is, “dying is no more than going to sleep”, not “die, and you don’t sleep any more”.
Minor points of punctuation ignored. TFTFY.
(Also from memory.)
I figured the punctuation was off, and I’m rather annoyed that I missed lines (I know those lines). However, while some of your corrections are correct (there’s no “these” before “fardels” and it is “with this regard” not “in this regard”), the rest are not right, at least not according to any source I can conveniently lay my hands on[sup]1[/sup]. It is “heart-ache,” "bear the whips and scorns of time,’ “he himself might his quietus make,” and “does make cowards of us all.”
[sup]1[/sup]Several internet sources, and a Complete Works of Shakespeare (Dempsey Parr, first published in 1895).
For those of you criticizing my playing style, I posted as often as I could with an extremely difficult quirk (and a new job). You try posting that you think someone is cheating without letting them know you think they’re cheating - it’s not easy.

Wasn’t criticizing your playing style at all – just saying that you weren’t posting enough for me to see any patterns. Wasn’t criticizing that fact either.

I’ll settle for the few I got right, then - and edit my mental copy accordingly. (It’s fifteen years since I learned the Soliloquy, and that only to deal with an annoying co-worker who kept quoting the first three or four lines, and them wrongly.)

About seven years for me (I was bored one afternoon. I could have done something useful like write some music or clean the kitchen. Instead I memorized a soliloquy).
I’m still annoyed at missing those two lines. :smack:
