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.
State refers in this case to the entire country and the political body that governs it. I know you guys use states in the way we use provinces or districts or counties.
did he die between 1650 and 1660? did he die between 1660 and 1670? did he die between 1670 and 1680? did he die between 1680 and 1690? did he die between 1690 and 1700? did he die between 1700 and 1710? did he die between 1710 and 1720? did he die between 1720 and 1730? did he die between 1730 and 1740? did he die between 1740 and 1750?
was he known for classical music? was he known for war music? was he known for writing a counties anthem? can i get a hint? did he make happy songs? did he use his music for political fraternization whit his country?
did he use his music for political fraternization whit his country?
No. And no to war music.
This would be mean to most people as the person's musical achievements/records are obscure. So the clue, he was the ruler of a nation, yet he was not of their people.
