Congrats, Will! I had a feeling it was a video game character, but I wouldn't have thought of Steve.

Wow, I get to do game 200?

I was gonna search up the most popular games so I could reference, but before I even pressed enter, I remembered the most popular game of all time: Minecraft!

Thank you Darth Porg!

Free guess: Steve from Minecraft

Steve from Minecraft is correct! Wow! I figured you'd get there at some point, but that was quite the jump! GG JustAGuyNamedWill!

I think it's apparent now that I didn't know what to say with fantasy/sci-fi. There's obviously magic and fantastical creatures, but I would not say Minecraft is a fantasy game per se.

As for the "superpowers" question, I refer you to this very fun Mumbo video about the superhuman abilities of Steve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ourihqHM0SY&ab_channel=MumboJumbo

Anyway, what a fun round!

interesting. can't think of many other possible origins, so I'll throw out my final origin guess: from a video game?

yes!

I'm not sure I like the idea of counting the passed questions as a question. There's no provision for it in the rules, and any information on those questions other than "pass" was given voluntarily by the QM.

You are correct there is no provision in the rule. Should the players not want it to count as a question, I have no problem taking it down. I just figured that due to the amount information gained off of three passed questions, maybe it should count as one?

I am okay with this going either way. I can see both points here (the rules don't provide for this, but the QM did provide well over one yes/no question's worth of information in response to the three questions).

Hard agree. There’s a million reasons for a pass and all information can be alluded to by the QM if they so desire.

So basically the only part that is ambiguous is if it was a sci-fi fantasy work.

Yes (does not count as question)

The hero or protagonist of the thing in which they appear?

Yes

The hero or protagonist of the thing in which they appear?

1, 2 - Fictional human being
3 - Became famous in 1990 or later
4 - Did not originally appear in a motion picture
5 - Did not first appear in a book that is not a comic book
6 - Has an E in their first full name
7 - Passed Questions (QM charged, lots of good hints in those three I think it should count as one question) (Feel free to disagree)
8 - Does not use time travel in some way
9 - Does not wield a weapon we do not currently posses
10- Did not first appear in a TV show

Passed
- Main character in a work of science fiction or fantasy (QM leans yes as of now, but this can be argued well for both sides)
- Science Fiction or Fantasy character (QM leans no, it's never explicitly stated, although, again, this can be argued and is even likely based on what this character can do)
- Having magic powers, superpowers, or some other ability that humans don't have in real life (QM leans again no, but science would disagree)

NOT
Harry Potter (free guess returned)
