I am a historical figure - "Who am I"? |
|
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 11:20 PM by MrScorpio
The rules:
- Up to three Yes on No questions per post
- Post as many as you like
- Thread has a sixty post limit
Some clues:
- You have three questions to use per post. Anything less than that is a waste
- A lot of you guys will ask the same question. Read the other posts, clues are there
- If you ask bullshit questions, you're fucking it up for everyone else
- If you know what the career path is don't ask unrelated questions
- You should look for these basic clues: Sex, Race, Alive or Dead, Nationality, Occupation, Published or Featured works

57. I was in Northern Virginia last weekend |

A good friend of mine lives in Centerville, near manassas and we toured the Bull Run Battlefield.
I was sickened by the sprawl up there. Developers are building strip malls on the battlefields. Now you can by a home in 'Stonewall jackson estates' right on the Battlefield

I enjoy DC, but I am more of a Baltimore person. My dad's side of the family are all from baltimore and they have thick murlin accents. I go to Baltimore all the time, but rarely ever go into DC. I love parts of VA. Particularly the Shenandoah

Eastern Europe, Monarch, after 1400 but before 1600. It just came to me, so I asked the questions. It was the 1st non-Russian Eastern European monarch that came to my head, really Earlier, with Debs I got the same feeling after reading a few questions I was thinking monarch but threw in Spain and Portugal after you said Monarch but nixed England and France. I also held out for Ivan IV (the terrible)

60. It would have been tougher |
|
but it cannot be too hard. DU is not full of people who can name arcane royalty from hundreds of years ago. If it is too hard, people will never get it. Make it tricky enough to make them think, but not too hard that they won't get it. This one kept me puzzled for a while. Debs was tough for a while too.

We have a lot of smart cookies around here, so I want game that really challenges you guys.
I love challenges, I hope you guys do too.
I'm no genius, but I am just few points short.
If this was in freeptardland they wouldn't have figured it out after 100 even.
