Title: Botticelli (an intellectual game of guessing identities)
Post by: mathgrant on August 05, 2011, 02:57:01 PM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botticelli_%28game%29

I am thinking of a famous person, real or fictional, living or dead. The last initial of this person is B. Your goal is to deduce the identity of this person.

To play Botticelli, you must ask me questions whose answers are also people with the last initial B. For example, you might ask, "Were you succeeded by Barack Obama as President of the United States?" requiring me to answer, "I am not George W. Bush." If I am stumped and cannot give a valid answer, the rest of the forum will be given 48 hours and one chance to give a valid answer; if they succeed, then you have earned the right to ask me a general yes/no question about my identity (such as "Are you alive?", "Are you real?", "Are you male?", or "Are you most well-known for your contributions to politics?"). If your question is so easy that I can answer it, or so hard that nobody else can give the right answer within 48 hours, then you do not earn the right to ask me a general question.

Nobody in this game is allowed to use outside resources, except that I am allowed to use them to answer general yes/no questions if I do not know the answer myself.

Any one person may only ask one indirect question at a time.

I think that's it for rules. Ask away!

Jonas: Are you the hoaxmaster who is responsible for the 'Fiji Mermaid'? I am not William Blindguess?
Kenku: Are you the current driver of the Joe Gibbs No 18 car? I am not Dale Burnheart Jr.?

Since I am clearly not intellectual enough to answer either of these questions, the other members of the forum can now try to answer them.

Ffamran mied Bunansa - AKA Balthier who makes an appearance in Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions.

I'm pulling your leg, Trask likely means the main character, Ramza Beoulve of House Beoulve. (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090131092353/finalfantasy/images/8/8f/FFT-Ramza2-sprh.png)(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080313153748/finalfantasy/images/0/0c/FFT-Ramza2.PNG)

Also, upon discussing in chat, it seems Geary was thinking of Sir Bryce Vangault, whose last name has never been referenced in the comic; I've decided to grant Geary a general because I'm nice.

It has been 48 hours since I was stumped by Jonas's and Kenku's stumpers; they have now expired.

You want to figure out my identity? You can only figure that out by stumping me and answering other players' questions that stump me! Get to work!
