Re: 20 Questions Game 291

Is there a Wikipedia page (under the domain wikipedia.org, in English) about this person? Yes, but I would avoid asking this question in the future because the answer is almost always guaranteed to be "yes". Fun fact: one of the picks we had did not have an English Wikipedia entry... but did have a...

Re: CHAOS SPEED GUNBOAT

How would you do it? Honestly? It's probably a long shot to pull off. But if you really wanted to, work on developing a community for people to play live 5-minute gunboat games on the classic map (7 players). If you can develop a critical mass of players so that live games are happening with some a...

the Cheshire Cat
FWIW wiki says this predates 1800

Re: 20 Questions, Game 287

Free guess: Arnold Schwarzenegger And this is it, congrats. As always, Hominidae will be back. I had a few moments of hesitation: is acting a visual art? According to Wikipedia, no, but filmmaking (production) is so he still counts there, just not as an actor. More famous as a politician, bodybuild...

Re: 20 Questions, Game 287

Famous largely for being a politician, writer, visual artist, athlete, or musical artist? This question has tripped me up in past games as a guesser and so I’d like to ask a clarification of you here that I will apply to subsequent similar questions this game (unless a questioner specifies differen...

Re: Twenty questions, round 286

So, with the language pass, and the birth date, we're definitely looking at an ancient Roman or someone who was closely tied to the Roman world. I suspect they were born in the Balkans (that would make the exact modern country difficult to determine) or maybe somewhere near Switzerland. Was this pe...

Mmmm... I think I should pass on this one as well. Sorry.
Also, I am a little bit more sure in my answer to this question than I previously was, but I will keep the "pass" in place unless someone specifically reasks it.
