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.

Did he ever go to the Americas?

Did he live before Columbus?

Did he live after Columbus?

Was he the guy who founded all the missions in California (name started with an S, but I don't remember it exactly, this is just a wild guess as I don't even remember if he ever made it to bishop, just know he was famous)

If that's the case, I can only think of one, and that's because my teacher mentioned him in passing.

Bartolomé de las Casas?

Bartolomé de las Casas "Protector of the Indians".
saw columbus leave for his 1st trip to the americas when he was 9.
was the 1st and about only person that came up for the rights of the western indians after he witnessed the horrors done to them.
later got close relations whit King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and worked for/whit Pope Julius II, Pope Paul III and Pope Pius V.

whitout this man the entire south american race would not exist anymore.

Ahah, I knew that paying attention to obscure facts might come in handy somehow.

I am thinking of a dead lord.

Oliver Cromwell? That's the first person I thought of who had "lord" as an actual title.

Yes for the last four.

He was Lord Protector, not a Lord.

Was he part of the Feudal system?

Was he part of the House of Lords?


Nope.

Nope, I was just busy.

No.

No. Genghis' official title was Great Khan, not Lord.
