Would this individual or thing be able to suppress double-posts forever?

 Would this individual enjoy being the protagonist of the 63rd edition of 20 questions on webDiplomacy?

Do you fancy this individual or thing?

What is life?

What would they eat for breakfast if they did not enjoy moon?

Would squirrels be sad on a moon with no trees?
Um, enjoy life. But sure! What would they eat for breakfast if they did not enjoy the moon?

95 percent dart test, subjective questions only, final destination.

Finally the competitive skill-based rule set we need

 It might be time to at least swap the setup to inject some life into it. I dunno how to swap things though.
Might be a good time to bring back the 50% dart test rule.

Maybe guessing something other than people? *shrug*
Not a bad idea but if we are going for specific non-people options I think the question-setter might have to declare PERSON or NOT PERSON at the outset.

 Can’t tell if the ‘sabotage’ responses are a sign people are starting to burn out on this.

You guys still enjoying these or have we had enough?
Go with whatever you like. Change the rules if you wish.

 Oh, and, just because I'm curious: VI, what made you finally think of Preston?
Just fell into obsessive Google mode. Previously I scoured dead actors and Time magazine covers but couldn’t find a hit. Refocusing towards stage famous actors who transitioned to film adaptations suddenly made sense why he wasn’t necessarily ‘famous enough’ for the masses, and that group was just a much smaller field to search and eventually I hit a wiki article that just hit most of the clues. Further looking up details on his final film confirmed it.

The Music Man wasn't an obscure choice. I didn't remember the "Ya Got Trouble" song, though, ha ha. I basically don't know any actors, but I doubt that the actor who played the Music Man is obscure either.

Thanks for the recommendation on Last Starfighter!

 "The Last Starfighter was Robert Preston's final role in a theatrical film. The character of Centauri, a 'lovable con-man', was written with him in mind and was a nod to his most famous role as Professor Harold Hill in The Music Man."

Hot DAMN that was a hard one.
Oh bollocks! I thought it was him but I couldn't see the connection. That was also 22 years after the Music Man (Music Man was 1962, the Last Starfighter was 1984).
Again, sorry to everyone if my choice was a little too "out there".

I've seen that Simpsons episode but would have considered Lando Monorail a very obscure character.

 Who?

I have never heard of this person.
...and that's what I was worried about with "not famous enough", especially from an international point of view.

Here's a clip from the movie _The Music Man_ with Mr. Preston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI_Oe-jtgdI

It's probably more of a US thing in terms of pop culture. My parents had the soundtrack and I heard it quite often when I was growing up - my high school did it as a musical as well when I was there.

Also, the fourth season Simpsons episode "Marge vs. the Monorail" was essentially a direct lift of the plot of the movie - including a song very similar to the clip above.
