	This quiz has a few problems. Foremost is the black-on-dark-purple, which is nearly unreadable. Beyond that...I'm not sure why Puck doesn't count as a fairy (I mean, all right, he's a "servant" of Oberon's, but he's certainly supernatural). Also, you misspelled "Peaseblossom". As for "1 speech"--at the very least, you need to accept "St. Crispin's Day", but really, there are a lot of famous speeches from Henry V. In addition to "St. Crispin's Day", I tried "O for a muse of fire" and "Once more into the breach dear friends", and even that doesn't really cover it.

	This is great. But a few things: -Everything Tahnan said--your #1 has several flaws. -Wouldn't Sampson, Gregory, etc. from the first scene of Romeo and Juliet count as named members of the houses? -Please accept 'Caius Ligarius' and 'Cimber' But thanks, I enjoyed the quiz.

	-I'll work on the colors. I actually have no trouble reading this myself. But I'll work on that. -I didn't add Puck because of his status and I can't make it an EE because of the quiz style. I did fix the spelling on 6, that was pretty silly. -I thought about Peter, Sampson, Gregory, Balthasar, etc. I checked a few sources and they were usually referenced as "servants". I actually would have preferred to have them over who is in there. I was trying to figure out a way to word it appropriately, w/o trying to trick anyone, and keep it at 8 - I did modify the primary complaint to 1. I'll come up with a way to word the clue better. Yes, there are other speeches so it's confusing. I've always viewed it as one of the more popular (and imitated) speeches. - I agree w/the requests for 8, so that has been changed.

	Thanks for the feedback though! I knew there would be some if anyone actually played this one....

	I'm not sure I like the turquoise colors, but it should be usable and that's the main goal. I think the reword on #1 should help with the issues there.

	Can you accept Conrad as an alternate spelling (for Much Ado About Nothing)? Some published copies of the play spell his name that way, including my own.

	I thought that was already entered, but it was not...sorry.

	I did learn how to use the hidden answer feature on this kind of quiz, so that helps. And I decided the point on excluding Puck was valid so I removed the "six faries" and replaced it with the six humans that marry in the same play. That should work, and hopefully improves the quiz for people...

	@grayantimatter: Nice adjustments. Just two nitpicky things: can you ditch the extra question mark in your question at the top? (Sporcle puts one in automatically so you didn't need to put one in on the creation page) Also, can you capitalize 'numbers' in your title? The game is featured on the Shakespeare page now and it's just an aesthetic thing.

	i don't know if this is right, BUT...... i don't think rosaline was a part of a household.

	@PeRcYjAcKsOn08 Rosaline was a cousin of Juliet, which is why she was invited to the Capulet masque.

	Some more alternate spellings you should probably accept: Voltemand, Longueville. You may also want to take "Navarre" and similar things for "Ferdinand", since he's only referred to as Ferdinand in the stage directions. Finally, Edward III should be a bonus answer for the king question.
