[Spartaculous]

There are seven persons to guess this round: Persons A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. (In this context, "persons" does not necessarily mean human beings, but merely "beings" or "characters", as following our traditions.) Your job, as the guessers, is to deduce the identities of these seven persons by asking a series of binary (yes/no) questions.

For each person, the guesser who first correctly guesses him/her/it will receive a point. The highest score at the end of the game will win. In case of a tie, all guessers who tied for the highest score will be declared winners, and the winning guesser who is currently on the longest drought will be invited to run the next game.

None of these persons are repeats from previous round; however, one of them is very closely associated with a previous choice. (Example: Drew Weissman shared his Nobel Prize with Katalin Karikó.) In the QM's estimation, around five of them are all standard easy-to-medium difficulty picks, while there are a couple sneakier ones as well.

Each guesser is entitled to seven guesses (combined over all seven targets to guess). These may be used at any time (before or after the twentieth question is answered for each person). Correct guesses result in the guess being refunded (so that a guesser who has made two correct guesses and four incorrect guesses still has three guesses remaining). The QM is entitled to unilaterally award additional guesses to all guessers.

Asking questions: Up to 20 questions are allowed per person to guess. Guessers are allowed to make a guess that applies to all persons, or just to one or some of them. Example: "Persons A, D, F: Is this person born in the USA?". We will keep track of the number of questions used for each person separately. Posts may contain questions concerning more than one person. Example: "Person B: Is this person born before 1800? Person G: Is this person real?".

Consecutive questions and guesses: No guesser shall make more than two consecutive posts containing questions or guesses (or combination thereof). It is not allowed for a single guesser to ask two consecutive questions and then make a guess (without other contestants asking or guessing any intervening questions). A guesser who makes a correct guess is not permitted to make a subsequent guess until another guesser either asks a question or makes a guess.

There will be a seven-day time limit on this game (to avoid having it drag on if it becomes boring). I hope this does not happen, and I think that the payoff at the end of the game will be worth it. Of course I am up to something here; I do not intend to make any more comments about what I am up to until after the game. As a small hint, the seven persons are not randomly ordered (although this is not worth thinking about until much later in the game).

The QM is permitted to modify the rules as above if necessary to improve the enjoyment of the game.

I've been saving this for quite some time now (my original goal was to have this be round #200). Let's go!

[kingofthepirates]

All persons: is real?

[Hominidae]

All people: human?

[Spartaculous]

All persons: is real?

A: Yes.
B: No.
C: No.
D: Yes.

[Spartaculous]

All people: human?

A: Yes.
B: Yes.
C: No.

[kingofthepirates]

C: featured in mythology?
All persons: male?

[Hominidae]

C: featured in mythology?
All persons: male?

Wait, clarification: isn't this technically asking two questions about C?

[Wattsthematter]

All persons: leader of a country?

[Spartaculous]

C: featured in mythology?
All persons: male?

Wait, clarification: isn't this technically asking two questions about C?

Yes, it is. I will go ahead and answer the male question:

A: Yes.
B: Yes.
C: Yeah, I guess so.
D: Yes.
E: Yes.
F: Yes.
G: No.

I will allow the pirate king (or someone else) to reask the mythology question if desired.

[Hominidae]

A,D,E,F,G: born before 1932?
B,C: the main character of whatever they're originally from?

[Spartaculous]

[Spartaculous]

All entities: notably the namesake of something?

I'm going to ask for clarification here: way back in round 157, I did John Paul Jones (the admiral) and John Paul Jones (the bassist). The bassist chose his stage name of JPJ because of the admiral. Would the answer to your question be "Yes" for the admiral and "No" for the bassist?

[Hominidae]

C: Is this a fictional representation of a real type of animal?

Everyone except C: political or military figure?
