I did figure out Clyde based on the Diplomacy connection, but once Clyde and London came up, I thought they would all be England provinces, with maybe someone named England as the seventh character. I think Clyde would have been harder if we had figured out the Diplomacy thing first, since Clyde is one of the less occupied provinces in actual games.
I think Richard Kiel was a good choice. Kiel is not a huge city in real life so its name evokes Diplomacy for me a lot more than London, Paris, or Berlin.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. Toto the Yorkie was briefly under consideration. But good luck coming up with anyone named Liverpool.Hominidae wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 11:13 pmI did figure out Clyde based on the Diplomacy connection, but once Clyde and London came up, I thought they would all be England provinces, with maybe someone named England as the seventh character.

Great Game! Missed out on all the guesses but still cool!

I just realized that the real people are SCs and the fictional people aren't.

That was a cool idea for a round!
I was thinking the other day about how many Diplomacy place names are in my home state of Michigan (both towns and townships):
Smyrna, Livonia, Moscow, Holland x 3, Rome, London, Paris, Venice, Clyde x 2, Vienna x 2, Berlin x 3.

Sorry I was away from the game for a few hours and this all developed rather quickly. A very fun game, and I was wrong about A and F not being famous. Excellent puzzle, Spartaculous. And congratulations to the winners!

I knew all along that this would happen: once two or three of the answers got worked out, the rest would come extremely rapidly.
Thank you! It was a fun round to QM.
The thought of how much work you must have put in on this rabbit hole did bemuse me a little...cdngooner wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 3:35 pmWe should have enough information for Person A, but I can't find a single English film, based on a Russian work, by an author born after 1884 from Asiatic former Soviet Union. Aleksander Solzhynitsyn is close, but born at 43N on the European side of the Caucasus.

Subjects like Irving Berlin are fun, because one unfortunate question from the players can throw the whole thing off. Once someone asked if he was born in Asia, the wheels all fell off for me.The thought of how much work you must have put in on this rabbit hole did bemuse me a little...

That's what I was secretly hoping would happen with Dmitri Mendeleev.cdngooner wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 2:21 pmSubjects like Irving Berlin are fun, because one unfortunate question from the players can throw the whole thing off.
