General / Off-Topic 20 questions - fictional characters

[AndrewF]

This is a 20 questions type of game for fictional characters.

It is very good, and has got everyone i've tried so far... although it's first guess was wrong it continues and gets there in the end.

I found that a bit freaky...

He seemed to unerringly home in on the Incredible Hulk/Bruce Banner

Yup, it is almost a mind reader.

Very well programmed

Yikes quite creepy, although it seemed to ask me some very strange questions to get from good guess Aeryn Sun to correct Vala Mal Doran. Likewise Thranduil for Denethor.

Scarily good on more obscure ones like Bren McGuire and Hannah Arendt.

Took a while to get David Braben though. First guess was Peter Molyneux. David Braben had only been played 17 times before, bet they all came from this thread.

Yes I was bored.

Hmm, took two guesses to get both Major Clanger and Alibaba.

I picked a couple of characters from fairly obscure novels, and it got them both right - I was pretty surprised. The second character took 2 guesses, but the first character it seemed to zero in on pretty quickly.

I defeated him with Æthelstan lol but he's pretty good

Never seemed to get Conan the Cimmerian (I did not accept Conan the Barbarian as an answer, since it is very much a different character although based partially on the former).

 

[Ulla]

It took a long time and one wrong guess to get such a famous figure as Boudica.

Guessed Frodo Baggins(!) and Van Helsing before finally arriving to Solomon Kane.
