The fastest way to a man's heart- Or anyone's, in fact- Is to tear a hole through their chest.

Indeed. You are as ancient as the soot that choked Pompeii into oblivion, though not quite as uncaring. - Rusvul

We can start over, though. For 1 point:

James Gryphon

Duh, right? Like I said, a gimme.

Well, as you never answered this other one, I guess I'll reuse it. This time it's worth 6 points.

Hmm. Guess I need to come up with something harder.

What have I got in my pocket?

...just kidding.

Try this one; it should be almost impossible, to make up for all the easy-peasy ones. 10 points if you get it.

James Gryphon

Well, you're absolutely WRONG!

Hoon was in fact on there. Unusual, I know. The correct answer, strange as it may seem, was "C: Frank".

All right, sorry for the delay.

I had written out a bunch of answers and new questions, and thought I posted it up here... needless to say, that wasn't the case, and now they're gone.

Had to rewrite them from scratch, but here's what we've got.

Change of rules: The "extra time" lifeline is gone. From now on, players will be allowed two days to answer all questions. I think this will help reduce game management overhead and give y'all a reasonable amount of time to play with "real life" breathing down your backs.

@Ash: Unfortunately, you're out of time. You exit, however, with 1 point and a place on the high score list.

@Sage:
That's correct. Third question for 6 points.
What was the color of the lightsaber Kyle Katarn used in his final duel with Jerec?
A: Blue
B: Orange
C: Yellow
D: Purple

@Vilu:
That's right. Here's question #3, for 6 points.
In Microsoft's space shooter Freelancer, which of these was not the name of a star system?
A: Arizona
B: California
C: Colorado
D: Texas

@Sam: B is correct. Here's question #3, for 6 points.
Which of these did Cluny not attempt to use in his fight with Matthias?
A: A chair
B: An iron spike
C: A sword
D: A ferret

@Plugg: That's right. Here's question #4, for 10 points; have a look. Answer it right and you get your lifeline back.
Which of these horde leaders never styled or imagined themselves with any kind of royal title?
A: Cluny the Scourge
B: Slagar the Cruel
C: General Ironbeak
D: Gabool the Wild

A; Blue.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Kitsune

I would like to use my hint lifeline on this one.

I always get ones I know little or nothing about.
D: Texas
Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.
