Not more than 2 consecutive questions from any individual player. We seem to do this already but self policing. Free guesses not counting.

Falied conditionals not counting.

This rule would also make nested conditionals illegal..

 We're diplomacy players. There's no such thing as dirty ;)
I don't let a game decide my personality. Maybe bend a few traits so the game is more enjoyable for you and me, but I will never let it dictate who I am. Moreover this isn't diplomacy so there is now need for certain tactics. :-)


But you made me think, we maybe need a rule (or a suggestion) that forbids (or deters) from malicious behaviour intended to ruin the game for others. Well maybe a friendly reminder might be all that's needed since we didn't really have an incident in the previous games and too much rules ruin the fun. But something like "play this game for fun, not to ruin it for others" shouldn't be too restrictive? Maybe I'm overthinking it and it's only because of the special game setup that such a thing might've been possible, but what are your thoughts about it?

Ah, but there is is beauty in mercilessly crushing your foe with honor, great beauty. Think of one fell sweep, as a samurai swiftly decapitating a vanquished, kneeling foe. And compare with 'Is it one fish? Is it two fish? Is it red fish? Is it blue fish? Is it black? Does it get up in the morning? Has it visited the International Space Station? Is its unladen airspeed velocity somewhere between that of an African and a European swallow? Is it coco for coco-pufs? Can it speak Klingon? How about Esperanto? Does it have exactly seven legs?', etc.

 Besides which, all you had to do to win the game is guess a dozen wrong answers, using up all the questions and ensuring han was unable to beat you.

I was half expecting Jamie to do exactly that after Robert the Bruce, truth be told
Damn, that didn't occur to me, hah.

Nah, as much as I like to win, I don't like to win dirty. I'm pretty sure Jamie sees it the same way.

Also, the most important part playing these games here should be having fun, or at least that's what I think it should be.

Also, Far Cry 4 is in the same bucket like the office and avatar(the series); haven't seen/played it, just knew it from some memes. Knowing the Biene Maja is more important anyway.

Like Far Cry 4, which famously has an alternative way of completing the game that took around half an hour

 Oh, I see. I wasn't aware of this movie. In that case I think the answer to the movie question should've been a resounding yes, but it wouldn't have helped me anyway since then I would've answered Seabiscuit.

Anyway, I would've missed critical information. Thanks for clarification.
It depends how you view the question, I guess. Maybe you're right and it could be considered a tad misleading, although the rest of the answer hopefully provided a bit of guidance to what I was thinking

 I'm not angry or sour or any kind of this (well maybe a bit sad), but mostly confused what you meant with that part

since that made me completely derail from any race horses and put me on a hypothetical thinking line towards police horses, war horses and that kind. Did you mean some documentaries or sports shows?
Eh? I was referring to the film "Secretariat" (a Disney movie about his life) in which various horse actors played the role of Secretariat, including Trolley Boy who was apparently one of his descendants

For brownie points, is anyone able to guess as to why Pagan Min of Far Cry 4 was used as an example in the opening post?

was second on my list, wanted to decide my guess after the movie/TV question, but with the answer I'm not sure if that could fit

 Has there been a movie or TV series where this animal was (one of) the leading or supporting character(s)?
Now that's a tricky one to answer. I don't believe so, and he was not an actor himself, although (without giving too much away) other leading animal actors have certainly acted the part of this animal.
Huh, that's a surprising answer. My hunch there was Seabiscuit (as in horses have hairs and the rest did fit the description). What you describe there sounds more like Phil the groundhog, but then again, it doesn't.

Hmm ... 'other leading animal actors' ... and they acted the part of this animal ...

a quick refresh also tells me that my horse hunch might be correct ... but which horse would that be?

 Does an average member of C's species weigh less than an average human male?
Are we talking American or European?

I believe the answer is no either way
