Never heard of him, but I pretty much guessed that a long time back with 'American TV actor'. I barely watch Brit TV, let alone US TV!

Fun, though!

Well done, Chip

Same here... I listen to music more and fill any gaps by reading a lot.

Driber had said that the rules would now say that the person who is 'it' must already know the celeb nominated and I had presumed that meant the name of the celeb without having to go and search the internet to find out who it is.

Now that I know this... I won't feel guilty when I pick a celeb who's name may not be recognisable, but their acting role/face is, hehe.

On with the next round then ...when Chip returns.

Suffice it to say, I would never have guessed that one.

Yeah at least this round went much smoother than the last

Oh and you're not watching Breaking Bad, dude? You're missing out big time. Bryan Cranston is amazing in that series! He even won several emmies for his iconic () roll as Walter White

You're selling yourself short, mate. This is your 3rd point!

Is that not a notable award?
Only when I asked if the celeb had received any awards in this calibre, the answer was no.



Chip, are you fictional?

Yeah that's the problem with asking questions that are open to interpretation, such as "notable award", "long running series", "big movie star", etc. Since you didn't specifically write "emmy", you can't blame ABH for answering "no"

Firstly, just to say, my query is not to 'blame' ABH for anything... we're not debating anything of dire importance, it's just a game.

I can't really agree that my question was "open to interpretation". He asked for further clarification, I answered any 'highest' awards and gave examples of what they might be including Academy, Golden Globe etc.
As an Emmy Award is one of the highest and considered the television equivalent to the Academy Awards, I would have answered yes to that question... personally.

But I have taken note of what you have said for future reference.

Chip, are you related to music in any way?

You're reading way too much into things sometimes

"Blame" is just a terminology. I'm sure ABH didn't actually take offensive to you pointing out that in your opinion his answer was wrong.

You hit the nail on the head there - "personally"

I'm sure he doesn't, lol. Just wanted to make sure you didn't make him think that.

So the new rule is that unless someone states an exact target name/title/word... the person who is 'it', can answer with a negative even though the answer should really be yes.
This could make the game a lot harder, I like!

Nope, there is no "new" rule. Just more assumptions from your side

I only tend to watch Doctor Who and Sherlock, whenever they happen to be on. On the BBC iPlayer, yet. I don't even know if my TV can pick up TV channels as I use it as a computer monitor.

Seriously. They switched over to digital months ago and I haven't even looked.

Question for Chip: Are you male?

I've been meaning to ask you already for some time, but now I just have to ask - how old are you, EK?

If you don't mind me asking, that is

But didn't you just confirm that how people answer is now really up to them... ie. "personally"?

You have made the rules and I just wish to check if they've altered. Previously in this thread a similar query was brought up by someone and you replied:

Quote:
If you answer it with "no", it really needs to be a NO to all possible definitions. If the criteria meets only just one of the definitions, then the answer is still "yes".
As an Emmy award is considered a high award; then by definition it requires the answer yes; as per your own rules.

You praised the actor for having won an Emmy Award.
I thought it was a high award... but I guess not then, as 'personally' decided. That's fair enough.

I love this game.

hmmm, getting a bit childish now. C'mon now, vik, keep this light. It's just a game
hmmm, I am keeping it light... don't know why you think it's dark?
I'm responding like for like. If you think it's getting a bit childish... I apologise for joining in.

Very disappointing to read what I just read

I'm going to stop this right here. Back to the game now.
