So I've been planning on making this thread for quite awhile now, since 2012 as I recall, but as always, I procrastinated. Anywho, no, this is not a copy of Name That Song, I was taught this game in "The Real World" and played it there.

So here's how it works, someone, me to start, thinks of a dead person who must be famous. To avoid as much spam as possible, gives off certain details about him/her from the start. After that, everyone will try to guess who said dead guy is whilst asking 'yes' or 'no' questions about him. It would be preffered, so as to avoid spam, that unless you have a rather unique question, or are guessing the identity of the dead guy, that you ask more than one question per post.

E.G.
Person 1: I'm thinking of a dead male, caucasion with black hair
Person 2: did he did within the last 5 years and was a singer?
Person 1: Yes to both.
Person 2: Micheal Jackson.
Person 1: Yes. Chose your dead guy.

I'm going to start off with a dead caucasion male, black hair, was known for being on television and without further questioning I will go into no more details on what area of television.

Ask and guess away.

Ok..you guys are seriously overthinking this one -_-â¢

Keep in mind..philosophy isn't his main selling point..the main selling point would give it away.

Indeed.
And he did advise a famous person of the times. A lovely anecdote about his doing so involves the usage of his "student's" concubines =3

The moral of the story ends up being that if orders are not followed/misunderstood..then the fault lies in the leaders. But if they are repeated and made very clear, and still the orders aren't followed, then the fault lies in those receiving the orders.
He ended up killing his student's two favorite women.

Was he alive during the Spring and Autumn period?


Yes

Was he alive during the Warring States Period=?

Was he alive during the Han Dynasty?

Was he alive during the Qin Dynasty


No

I've only repeated/stressed this multiple times now
