Is the person alive?

If the person is not alive, is the person fictional? If the person is alive, then I assume we can ignore this question.

Is it Robert the Bruce?

Is it Robert the Bruce?

It is not.

Is she directly involved with government or politics?

I'll rephrase:

Is she known for her connection to government and/or politics?

As a Scot, I fully approve of this question! (but why Robert the Bruce???)

He's my great great great (and so on and so forth) grandfather, and after discussions back in the early games that he's the chap I'd have picked if I hadn't already mentioned him I've become paranoid that he'll turn up just to spite me. It also makes me less likely to accidentally end up as the winner as happened with Gandhi
