20Q: The FOFC Game

[MJ4H]

So, last night, I had some singer in my head and I could remember next to nothing about him. I knew I wanted to check him out while at my computer, but had never come across him while at my computer, only while away. And I would always forget when I was at my computer. So I was determined to end that frustrating situation last night and asked FOFC for help.

Well, after a while I finally got the singer I was thinking of (it was Edwin McCain). But why not make a game out of that sort of thing? It would be fun to play a 20 questions kind of thing.

So let's say someone picks a person, place, or thing (make it reasonably well-known, wikipedia-entry bare minimum). The category is made known to everyone, and then the 20 questions start. Anyone can post a yes/no question, and if someone guesses it before the limit of 20 is exhausted, then it is their turn. If not, then the original picker picks another?

What do you think, sound fun? Why the heck not, it could pass some time for those at work.

I'll start. Feel free to suggest rule amendments that might make more fun or interesting or whatever. It's just for kicks.

So the first category is PERSON.

Go!

[Lorena]

So this is what we know:

White Male
Dead
Non-athlete
Born in the US
Arguably an entertainer
Not a politician
Born before 1950
Did not die in July 2009 or in the 2000s

[MJ4H]

Just making sure. :p

Was he a TV star?What exactly is meant by "star?"

[MJ4H]

Let's just do this:

#11: No, he is not famous for being a "TV star"

[stevew]

Was he born in a state traditionally known as in the North(as per Civil war split)

[MJ4H]

Was he born in a state traditionally known as in the North(as per Civil war split)

#12: YES

[DanGarion]

I think I know the answer.

[MJ4H]

o rly:
so I assume we count a guess as a question? or what do you guys think?

[DanGarion]

o rly:
so I assume we count a guess as a question? or what do you guys think?

Well that's why I'm not saying it. :) I could be completely wrong.

[DanGarion]

Was this person known for more then one type of entertainment (ie. Musician, Singer, Actor, etc?)

[MJ4H]

#13: YES

[DanGarion]

Did this person have a nickname that referred to a physical trait (height, size, eyes, etc?)

[MJ4H]

Did this person have a nickname that referred to a physical trait (height, size, eyes, etc?)

#14: NO

[DanGarion]

#14: NO

Well my answer is dead in the water... :)

[MJ4H]

Yeah, I thought so. I went and double-checked for the real thing and can find no evidence of this nickname you are asking about, so if it exists, I wouldn't call it commonly known.

[Passacaglia]

o rly:
so I assume we count a guess as a question? or what do you guys think?

I say guesses should not count as a question, and should be sent by PM, so no one's incorrect guess affects later guesses. One guess per person.

[MJ4H]

I'm down with that. Guesses accepted via PM. Guess wrong and you are out!

[Mustang]

Has he ever had a movie based on his life?

[MJ4H]

#15: YES

[SirFozzie]

Did he star in a movie that would be considered a "Western" by the common definition.

[MJ4H]

Did he star in a movie that would be considered a "Western" by the common definition.

#16: NO (to verify this, I searched on imdb.com and looked at the "genre" listing for all of the movies he was in as an actor and not had "Western" listed--I cannot testify that I know enough about every movie to say yes or no past that).

[Mustang]

Guess sent.

[MJ4H]

Did he star in a movie that would be considered a "Western" by the common definition.

#16: NO (to verify this, I searched on imdb.com and looked at the "genre" listing for all of the movies he was in as an actor and not had "Western" listed--I cannot testify that I know enough about every movie to say yes or no past that).

[Mustang]

I had an E'fn INCREDIBLE Guess..

But I was wrong.

[Lorena]

So here's what we got:

- White Male
- Dead
- Non-athlete
- Born in the US
- Arguably an entertainer
- Not a politician
- Born before 1950
- Did not die in July 2009 or in the 2000s
- Not famous for being a "TV star"
- Was born in a state traditionally known as in the North(as per Civil war split)
- Was known for more than one type of entertainment (musician, singer, actor, etc)
- Did not have a nickname that referred to a physical trait (height, size, eyes, etc?)
- Had a movie based on his life.
- Did not star in a movie that would be considered a "Western" by the common definition.

[Tasan]

Man, I thought I had this...one stupid thing kicked my idea out. I can't even think of any good questions.

[Lorena]

I had a really good guess but the "born in the u.s." thing threw it out the window.

Was he a director?

[Tasan]

I thought about asking that question, but it seemed a tad too broad. Too many actors direct.

[Tasan]

Oh and the "born in the North" got mine shot down. It was good, too.

[Lorena]

I thought about asking that question, but it seemed a tad too broad. Too many actors direct.

Yeah I thought so too but not knowing is driving me nuts! I have 1 pretty good guess and it's gonna depend on the answer to that question.

[MJ4H]

#17: YES

[MJ4H]

Lorena has correctly guessed the mystery person. If others want to play it out, feel free. Otherwise, Lorena is up!

[Mustang]

Doh

Maybe I shouldn't have posted that yet. :)

[Lorena]

Any other guesses?

[Mustang]

Once it is guessed, probably can just start a new game up.

[MJ4H]

That's cool. The correct answer was Andy Warhol. Lorena is up.

Lorena, I guess you can go ahead and start a new round, or if you'd rather pass, you could just let someone else who was active in the first round have it.

[Mustang]

My guess was Andy Kaufman.

The 'tv star' thing threw me off. I was trying to find out if the actors career was primarily defined by TV.

[boberot]

Wow.

Helluva guess . . . .

[Tasan]

Mine was Truman Capote, but he was born in Louisiana. Great job, Lorena.

[Tasan]

For the uncultured among us, what was Andy Warhol's biopic?

[Mustang]

For the uncultured among us, what was Andy Warhol's biopic?

I think there are several variations done not to mention other films like Basquiat that have portrayals of him in there.

[Lorena]

I'ma be sorta busy today so whoever wants it.. have at it.

[larrymcg421]

For the uncultured among us, what was Andy Warhol's biopic?

I Shot Andy Warhol.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Interestingly enough, I Shot Andy Warhol, Basquiat, and Factory Girl could all be argued to be biopics about an acquaintance of Warhol.

[MJ4H]

This is what I used to say yes to that question:

Documentaries

The 2001 documentary, Absolut Warhola (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolut_Warhola) was produced by Polish director Stanislaw Mucha, featuring Warhol's parents' family and hometown in Slovakia.<sup id="cite_ref-60" class="reference">[61] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_warhol#cite_note-60)</sup>
Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Warhol:_A_Documentary_Film) is a reverential four-hour 2006 movie by Ric Burns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ric_Burns).<sup id="cite_ref-61" class="reference">[62] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_warhol#cite_note-61)</sup>
edit: primarily the second one as the first one was about his family.

[SirFozzie]

Ok, I'm going to take Lorena up on her offer, and start the next round:

It is a PERSON.

[RomaGoth]

Anyone have a new one?

Doh, Sir Fozzie answered my question a minute before I asked it.

[Mustang]

[Mustang]

Suggestion for the next go around. Take the 5 most common questions and only allow 2 of the 5 during any round

F/M, Living/Dead, Born/Dead timeframe, etc. That way, we have to be more creative in trying to figure it out.

[larrymcg421]

Is this person a politician?

[SirFozzie]

Is this person a politician?

#5: NO

(Ok, driving into work, next post from me, about 25-30 minutes

F/M, Living/Dead, Born/Dead timeframe, etc. That way, we have to be more creative in trying to figure it out.

um no. that kinda defeats the purpose of 20 questions.

Damn, there goes Celine Dion too. :rant:

[SirFozzie]

We've had one guess so far, that has been incorrect.

Edit: Make that two guesses

[Coffee Warlord]

Did they write a fictional book?

In the SciFi/Fantasy Genre?

[SirFozzie]

In the SciFi/Fantasy Genre?


#16: YES

[SirFozzie]

And three guesses are in, three are wrong :)

[SirFozzie]

Four Down.

[Lorena]

So far, this is what we know:

- White Female
- Alive
- Is an entertainer, per this definition: Entertainment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainer)
- Born in the US
- Written a fictional SciFi/Fantasy book
- Not a movie star
- Not a politician
- No one on FOFC lusts over her

17: YES, at least one of her books have featured Dragons.

[Tasan]

18: Has she written about Vampires?

[SirFozzie]

18: Has she written about Vampires?

18:YES, at least one of her books have Vampires in them.

[SirFozzie]

Half a dozen wrong so far.

[Lorena]

dang, coming down to the wire!

[SirFozzie]

I put odds at 3-1 that anyone will get it right.

[sterlingice]

If Margaret Weis had Tracy Hickman's hair, she would work ;)

SI

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

I know I'm out of my league when I say "There are female fantasy writers?"

[RomaGoth]

Anybody make a correct guess yet?

[Passacaglia]

Does her last name begin with a letter in the first half of the alphabet (A-M)?

[SirFozzie]

Does her last name begin with a letter in the first half of the alphabet (A-M)?

#19: YES

ANd no, no correct guesses yet, seven wrong.

[SirFozzie]

We're up to eight incorrect guesses.

I will offer this to spice things up:

In place of the 20th question, I will offer a list of incorrect guesses.

This is an either/or situation. The first person (not already eliminated by an incorrect guess) to either take me up on the offer, or to ask a seperate question, sets the tone :)

[Butter]

Let's see the list.

[SirFozzie]

#20: It is NOT any of the following, guessed by folks:

J.K. Rowling (2)
Anne McCaffrey (2)
CS Friedman
Stephanie Meyer
Laurel Hamilton
Anne Rice

MJ4H is lurking, do we want to put a time limit, now that all 20Q have been asked, or just until folks give up?

[Mustang]

Could probably just do public guesses now.

[Mustang]

JK Rowling 2x? She wasn't born in the US. :p :)

[SirFozzie]

A fact that I pointed out to the folks, who promptly smacked their foreheads :)

[larrymcg421]

I think I know who it is, but I already made a guess.

[MJ4H]

#20: It is NOT any of the following, guessed by folks:

J.K. Rowling (2)
Anne McCaffrey (2)
CS Friedman
Stephanie Meyer
Laurel Hamilton
Anne Rice

MJ4H is lurking, do we want to put a time limit, now that all 20Q have been asked, or just until folks give up?

eh, whatever people want to do, I just started this thing--it belongs to everyone.

[SirFozzie]

I think I know who it is, but I already made a guess.

PM it to me, I'll tell you if you're right or not :)

[Butter]

Anne McCaffrey

I was going to guess this, but I guess now I don't have to.

No idea.

[boberot]

McCaffrey was my guess. There are only 2 other fem sci fi writers that I'm even aware of without googling . . . .

[RomaGoth]

No idea.

[SirFozzie]

Alright, I'll give this a couple hours, if I continue to receive guesses, I'll let it keep going, if not, I'll reveal the answer. :)

[SirFozzie]

Received a couple more incorrect guesses, I'm really shocked, I was expecting someone to pick this one up a while back.

[SirFozzie]

I'll give another hour, and then reveal, and start the new game :)

[SirFozzie]

BTW, 10 wrong so far :)

[DaddyTorgo]

oh i just guessed blindly, but based on a couple of the things we know my guess makes no sense i suppose.

didn't know about the vampires and dragons

[gstelmack]

I was thinking McCaffrey, I have no clue who this could actually be.

[MikeVic]

My only guess would've been the Twilight girl, or the Sookie Stackhouse girl. So I have no guesses.

[DaddyTorgo]

I don't think anyone's gonna get it. Too obscure FTW!

[SirFozzie]

Mercedes Lackey:

I'm utterly shocked that an author with nearly fifty books to her credit is described as too obscure:

Mercedes Lackey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes_Lackey)

Other bits:

She decided to end one of her series, the Diana Tregarde series (the one that had to do with amongst other things, Vampires), due to low sales. Some of her fans were so fanatical about this series that they actually issued death threats! This caused her to stop attending Conventions for quite a few years, and she actively hates the series now.

[SirFozzie]

Ok. I've created a new game, with a "less obscure" target:

Fozzie, Round 2:

I'm thinking of a PERSON.

[boberot]

Crap, had I another guess it would have been between her and Andre Norton.

[DaddyTorgo]

yeah, but there's a lot of authors in that genre who write a lot of books. i think the problem is that none of her series were reconizeable to people without a deep sci-fi/fantasy knowledge.

even some with a semi-decent knowledge (myself) had never heard of any of her key series.

[DaddyTorgo]

Is this person a female?

[SirFozzie]

Actually, two people had made her the second or third choice, but decided to guess someone else :)

But, it's a new game, and let's see how this one turns out :)

CORRECTION: The answer to this is NO

[Passacaglia]

#14: NO

CORRECTION: The answer to this is NO

oops

[Passacaglia]

ah, never mind, I couldn't have been right anyway

[SirFozzie]

I didn't count your guess as a guess, just bad timing, I re-read the question and realized I had put in the wrong answer.

So Passacaglia still has a guess :)

EDIT: He wants it to count, because he didn't actually see #14.. so Ok.. One Down :)

[Passacaglia]

No, I don't -- thinking more about it, my guess was wrong all over the place.

[RomaGoth]

Does this person play in a professional league in Canada?

[SirFozzie]

Does this person play in a professional league in Canada?

#15: NO

[Lorena]

good grief, i've absolutely no idea

[SirFozzie]

good grief, i've absolutely no idea

If I was sure that people were off track last round, I'm absolutely sure of it this round. I was thinking enough people were aware of this person to make it a good round.

If I get through round 2, I'm going with something absolutely simple for the third go-round :P

[Mustang]

Do they play in a sport with timed periods? (don't have to be called periods.. so, don't take it too literally)

[SirFozzie]

Has this player held a contract (not loan) with teams in more than one country?

#18:NO

[SirFozzie]

As before, I have some help to offer. Note: Using these helps uses up a question.

For the price of 1 question you may either

Know ONE team this player has played for, selected by me
Know the player's nationality
Know this player's Uniform #
Know the year of the player's international debut

Note: This can replace question 19 or 20, but not both.

[sovereignstar]

What's their uniform #?

[SirFozzie]

What's their uniform #?

#19: Their uniform # is 10.

[sovereignstar]

How many international goals has he scored?

[SirFozzie]

that's not a yes/no answer (remember, I limited it to one)

[sovereignstar]

oops.. haven't payed much attention to the game before tonight. lol

[sovereignstar]

last question and i don't know what would break it down the most.

[SirFozzie]

Doesn't Matter.. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Weiner! (I mean a Winner!)

He's also popular enough to have his own character on the English/Irish show, Special 1 TV

Who the hell is Wayne Rooney? Is he related to Andy Rooney? How about Mickey Rooney?

Not sure you could have found a more obscure person...:rolleyes:

What? Seriously? I hope this is sarcasm about never having heard of Wayne Rooney.

He is one of the biggest star athletes in the world.

If I saw him on the street I wouldn't recognize him from the fry server at the local McDonalds.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Fair enough. Not sure that says anything about the notability of Wayne Rooney, other than that you've never heard of him.

If you answer yes, it comes from a cow or pig.

If you answer no, it does not come from a cow or pig. :)

[MJ4H]
