Re: 20 Questions - Round 127
A view from the States: To suggest that Harriet Beecher Stowe was not involved in politics would be equivalent to saying that Rush Limbaugh was not involved in politics. Newspapers were the public forum of the day (= talk radio & podcasts) and she met with President Lincoln after the start of the C...

Re: 20 Questions - Round 127
Suck my balls, Fox. How is that at all appropriate? No really, please explain to me why you think I personally deserve this kind of obscenity-laced disrespect and why you think that you are allowed to violate forum rules and common decency, because you've done this repeatedly and it's not okay. I e...

Re: 20 Questions - Round 127
I expressed my opinion, I certainly didn't question Octavious's win, I think I was respectful in disagreeing with you without challenging the decision or the outcome, and I get heaps of scorn, derision, and obscenities in return. I don't think I deserve that.

As always, I regret engaging with Jamie and this is a good reminder to myself to stop doing that.

Re: 20 Questions - Round 127
How strange. It was the political clue, along with the period in history, that were the biggest clues for me. I can think of few women of the time more obviously political than Harriet, aside from the aristocracy. There may be a small delay before the next one. Not too long, though :-) I guess the ...

Re: 20 Questions - Round 127
Known for being royalty or involved in government or politics? Yes to one of these things. I'm not clear on how she was known for being involved in politics? She does not appear to have been an activist, and while her book had a significant social impact, I think there's a difference between social...

Has she been commemorated on a stamp or coin issued by the U.S. government?

Re: 20 Questions - Round 127
Can you clarify this question, please? Are you: a) Asking whether this person, specifically is an "American Indian"? (Which is a somewhat outdated term)? b) Asking something else which you have not articulated clearly? (In which case, try again). c) Trolling? (In which case, don't). a) from anywher...

Re: Twenty Questions 126
Free guess: The Bride (as portrayed by Uma Thurman). Correct! The Bride aka Beatrix Kiddo aka Arlene Machiavelli aka Black Mamba. Well done, Jamie. I checked the anime scene by a clip on YouTube. It wasn’t until I decided to rewatch the whole movie that I realized that the YouTube clip had been cut...

Re: Twenty Questions 126
But I think you're in a tough spot on this one. So here's what I propose: 1. Someone should make a free guess. 2. I'll answer both the last two questions. 3. For the final 5 questions, I'll let you know if you're warmer or colder than the preceding guess (according to my own subjective interpretatio...

Re: Twenty Questions 126
I though rule VII says I can exchange my free guess for two additional questions. What do you think it actually says? Question IV says that everyone gets one free guess. Question VI says that players can only guess twice in a row before someone else gets a turn (where guess includes questions as we...

Re: Twenty Questions 126
If anyone wants to make a free guess before I answer the previous question (happy ending), that will be 20 questions and we'll be in the final 5.
If you want to make this the 20th question, I will switch it out. But you're down to your last question.

Well, when I answer this question, that takes rule VII out of play, so I’ll give you a moment.Hanging Rook wrote: ↑Sat Jul 29, 2023 8:15 pmI want to make use of rule VII:
