***MULTIBALL RULES (mostly copied from previous multiball round)***

Standard rules from our most recent rounds apply here (including no conditional questions or guesses), with the following changes.

There are eight persons to guess this round: Persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. (In this context, "persons" does not necessarily mean human beings, but merely "beings" or "characters", as following our traditions.) Your job, as the guessers, is to deduce the identities of these eight persons by asking a series of binary (yes/no) questions.

For each person, the guesser who first correctly guesses him/her/them/it will receive a point. The highest score at the end of the game will win. In case of a tie, all guessers who tied for the highest score will be declared winners, and the winning guesser who is currently on the longest drought will be invited to run the next game.

None of these persons are repeats from a previous round.

Each guesser is entitled to eight guesses (combined over all eight targets to guess). These may be used at any time (before or after the twentieth question is answered for each person). Correct guesses result in the guess being refunded (so that a guesser who has made one correct guess and three incorrect guesses still has two guesses remaining). The QM is entitled to unilaterally award additional guesses to all guessers.

Asking questions: Up to 20 questions are allowed per person to guess. Guessers are allowed to make a guess that applies to all persons, or just to one or some of them. Example: "Persons A, D, E, G, H: Is this person born in the USA?". We will keep track of the number of questions used for each person separately. Posts may contain questions concerning more than one person. Example: "Person B: Is this person born before 1800? Person C: Is this person real?".

Consecutive questions and guesses: No guesser shall make more than two consecutive posts containing questions or guesses (or combination thereof). It is not allowed for a single guesser to ask two consecutive questions and then make a guess (without other contestants asking or guessing any intervening questions). A guesser who makes a correct guess is not permitted to make a subsequent guess until another guesser either asks a question or makes a guess. Posts are not permitted to contain multiple guesses.

There will be a five-day time limit on this game (to avoid having it drag on if it becomes boring). The QM is permitted to modify the rules as above if necessary to improve the enjoyment of the game.

And we're off!

(Defining "Anglophone country" as the US, the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, which I think is what people generally mean by that. I'm including all territories of those countries as well.)

Question about the game: Is there necessarily a connection between the 8 targets, as there has been in the past?

Yes, there is a connection. That's all I'm going to say for now. (Not counted as a question for any of the persons.)

Julius Caesar.
I believe based on the information you have, either A or B could potentially be Julius Caesar. Is this a guess for A, B, or both?

hi
wow
this
is
very
confusing
All: Has a proper first name at least seven letters long?
pen names don't count
neither do nicknames
nor do titles
the weird wording is specifically to avoid confusion for any entity that doesn't have a proper first name

Also, completely unrelated but:
C, D, E: Fictional Human?
Pronouns: he/him
