The Yi Rule states that no question in the History Quiz thread shall be about the country of the question asker.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Questions about your own country are fine excluding the American civil war.

Yes I did!

N.B. I'm admitting to that to avoid admitting to making a typo.

Edit: Which typo? "Questionas" or "Dreadnaughts" ?

Edit2: "Byzanteen" intentionally misspelled.

Down with Yi, up with Yi rule.

I'm fine with the Yi Rule as long as we count "Europe" as a country.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

The typo that most closely resembles "questions." :lol:

That's not very nice.  :cry:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I like it because it's so arbitrarily obtuse, and thus suits Languish.

I like the Yi Rule in principle, but in practice it favours Americans and disadvantages people from countries that actually have a history.

yeah, but with the americans the level of detail goes down to the level of which tailor made R.E.Lee's suits, while the Euro's will focus on the level of kings.

I'd suggest that the rule favours us Euro's since we'd never deign to even consider Lee's tailor while the Americans still might consider the actions of Vlad Dracul.
