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.
Based on clues: Born after 1500, before 1700. Romanovs trace their lineage to noblemen fleeing from German controlled territories. Ruled Europe somewhat, since the Russian realm spread into Asia. Was a Russian Tsar, yet was not a Russian Tsar, since the Empire was formed halfway during his reign.
Really, wow, I actually guessed as that is the only name I could think off who had any relation to Europeans (took heavy influence from them, I think his wife was German, although I think I may be wrong, as the only wife Wikipedia mentions is Catherine I, who was lithuanian).
AND I DID NOT USE WIKIPEDIA TO ANSWER THIS (/paranoia)
So, I have to come up with a dead guy now? Someone I know but that you might have trouble identifying? I will see what I can think of during school.
