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.

Was he a dark lord?

Sauron?

Melkor?

did he rule Alagasia?

Galbatorix?

Was it realistic fiction?

Is it just fantasy?

You do know that my questions would apply to this character, unless.

Was he extraterrestrial?

Are any of these questions remotely close?

Do you like tacos?

Do you think that J.R.R. Tolkein wrote a magnificent series?

have you read the Simarillion?

Did the story take place on Earth?

Was it a land created just for that story?

Were there elves present?

Well Nicho, I suppose fictionals are aloud so log as it's been stated from the beginning (from this point forward).

Was he one of the first ten Doctors?
Was he even born on earth?
Does he have anything to do with Doctor Who?
Was he from a TV show?
Was he from a movie?
Was he from a book?

But he is Darth Vadar, that ain't fair, darth doesn't necessary mean lord.

And he didn't even die, my grandfather lived on in the force.

He was part of the Order of the Sith Lords, as a Dark Lord of the Sith. I think that would suffice pretty much.

In that case, people don't die for Christians, or Moslems, or Hindus, etc because they live in Heaven or Hell. We can argue till the cows come home, but the most basic and acceptable definition of death is a cessation of a body's biological structure, clearly the case for Vader.
