Need Unbiased Opinion on a critical issue R3v!

NEED UNBIASED OPINION:

Question wanted to know who Mars was named after, the group started discussing and came up with "The God of War".

We'd set this trend where, before we put our final answer in, if the answer was too broad, the opposing group asking the question would say "No, you have to be more specific". (This was not in the rules and it was probably a bad idea in retrospect, but we'd been using it on either side for other questions and it'd worked fine)

Someone on the opposing side simply said "be more specific" so we said Ares (The Greek name for The God of War since obviously saying Mars was named after Mars sounded dumb). The person holding the card never chimed in... the answer read: The God of War, and did not want to give us the point.

What do you think? Should we have gotten the point? Is Ares (Greek name vs. Roman name) not still the God of War?

Mars is the God of War.... There is no other answer to the question.

If they had asked "Who is another name for Mars?" or "What is the Greek name for Mars?" Then it would've been another story.

But the question was "Who is Mars named after?". The answer is: Mars, The Roman God of war.
To be more specific was to add "Roman" in it. They were just busting your balls trying to get you to give up.

If you REALLY wanted to bust their balls. You could've said The God of War, Son of Juno, Brother of Vulcan, and overall conqueror of your mom.

Sorry bud, should have just said Mars. You wouldn't get the points on Jeopardy for that answer.

Greek Gods and Roman Gods are different; it's not simply nomenclature. Mars is not Ares.

they told us the card did not say mars and then that we had to be more specific. That was the only way we figured we could be more specific.

Even though we were still right part of my argument was that the title doesn't change, it's only the name for the god of war for two different languages.

It's like saying Mary and Maria, or Germany and Alemania. They both refer to the same person and country.

If the question asked "who screwed monica lewinsky" and the answer read "the president of the US" and we answered Bill Clinton was it not still the president of the us?

You asked for our unbiased opinions, bro.

[KenC]

You're still missing the point. Mars has nothing to do with Ares. One is Roman, and one is Greek. Your answer should have been "Roman God of War."
