How the Date Score Works
You need a final date score of at least 2 to get the good return. Pick the answers you used — the score updates immediately.
Your date
Good outcome target: 2+ points
0 / 3 useful points
Select the three scoring answers to see whether you are still on track.
Question 1
Are you nervous?
“Are you nervous?”
Safest answer: YES. It helps, but it is not required if you get both later key answers.
Question 2
Are you the child of the previous ruler?
“Are you the child of the previous ruler?”
○ Either answer
Choose the dialogue you prefer.
Question 3
Kind of funny, isn't it?
“Kind of funny, isn't it?”
YES adds a point. NO resets your current date score to 0.
Question 4
Do you ever get tired of ruling?
“Do you ever get tired of ruling?”
○ Either answer
No date-score difference.
Question 5
Is that bad of me to say?
“Some days I get tired of my job... Is that bad of me to say?”
This one is easy to get backwards. NO is the scoring answer. YES resets the score.
