If I say yes, will you answer if he has had a quiet guard?

<aside> Explain what?

Isn’t answering aGainst tHe hOuSe’s Two rules?

<aside> didn't you say something about 2 games?

<secondary aside - Can we end the second game?>

Did you think I wouldn't notice your internet geek G-H-O-S-T?

<aside> Can we please end this second one?

<aside> will you admit defeat?

<aside> Why would I when you haven't scored a point in this one?

Would you like me to try some strong arm tactics instead?

<aside> would you call a draw?

<aside> would you accept a draw?

Will it recover our lost points to accept your strong arm tactics?

<real aside> I related strong arm tactics to the strong hand of Fortinbras in Horatios speech to Marcellus and Bernardo upon joining them for the watch and seeing the Ghost of King Hamlet.

<second real aside> I will accept defeat in the first round with a draw in the side game but propose a second one in which we *must* at least have a Shakespearean reference, if not a direct Hamlet one, in each question. If chalneged in an aside, the questioner must present his logic for conjuring that question. However, we may use certain "questionable" tactics like non-sequiters and rehtoric *if* the questionis a near direct quote from a play or sonnet. I've no doubt this would be a real challenge.

Do you doubt that?

Is it true that Fortin Bras is french for strong arm?

I read this play in school last year and I loved it. It's an amazing play. Tom Stoppard is pure genius.

What's in a name?

Don't you think most people would say missing the name reference means the result is 3-0?

<aside> I already conceeded that game. This is a restart where we HAVE to have a shakespearean reference, so "missing" a reference is silly as there better be one in every question. Now, I challenge you to provide a logical explanation of why that last question is Shakespearean in origin.


Another [point]; what say you?

Sorry draugnar - i'd sooner retire as a victor - play again when I'm less busy.

No problem. I have a ton to do as well.
