"Identity" text game (we can all play)

[Mandolin]

Hello there, dearest RWP buddies. Since I'm bored something awful and I don't have anything of particular interest to do right now, I thought I'd introduce you all to a fun game I used to play with my friends and family during long road trips a long while ago. It's called Identity (completely unrelated to that new game show on TV) and here's how you play: first, you think of a fictional character from movies, television, literature, video games, or any other source you can think of. However, the character must be relatively well-known; in other words, the Terminator's twenty-first victim does not qualify. Then, you give two specific clues about your character's identity: their gender, and what type of media (movies, games, all that stuff) they come from...

After that, everyone who is playing can ask a series of yes/no questions (they can be as vague or specific as you like, but strictly yes/no) to determine the character's identity. So my game suits a web forum, everyone who posts questions can only ask three questions per reply. Basically, the first person to figure it out is the winner, and they can come up with the next character to continue the game. Simple, huh? Taking a hint from "who's that pokemon?" I'll add that if the winner doesn't reply within twenty-four hours, the game is anyone's to take. :D

All righty, then! Since I'm first, let us begin:

1. my character is male.
2. he is from a Hollywood film.

Good luck!

[P.o.t.O]

1. Is said man's hair medium length?
2. Does said man wear glasses?
3. Does said man have a bad smile?

[repobanjo]

1. Does the man appear in any box-office hits from the past 6 years?

2. Is he incredibly rugged?

3. Is he an animated person?

[lamentofking]

1. Is said man growing white facial hair?

[Theguyoverthere]

Does the person in question like to spit onion juice while standing upside down on the cieling?

On a more serious note, is his last name Carry?

[Mandolin]

To answer all of your questions... no. Remember, I'm talking about a character, not the actor himself!

I think I'll give you another clue... he appears in more than one film. But no more freebies!

[lamentofking]

1. Is the character's name Bugs Bunny?

2. Is the character's name Daffy Duck?

[BKSonic1234]

1. Is this character animated?
2. Is this character a live-action character, like, for instance, Austin Powers?

[Theguyoverthere]

Does he wear a lot of make up?
Are you sure it's a male?

[Mandolin]

Jeez, you guys are repeating questions! The answers to every question asked before my second post in this thread (I mean, after the very first one) is no. Now, to get to the new ones...

(lamentofking)

1. no
2. no

I'd already said he wasn't a cartoon character...

(BKSonic1234)

1. no
2. yes, but not Austin Powers...

(Theguyoverthere)

1. no
2. absolutely

Here's another clue, because you need one really badly... in the movie, he is 17 years old.

Keep trying!;)

[banjo-eighty]

Is he marilyn monroe?

[Andre]

Edward Speleers

[BKSonic1234]

Is it Eragon? Cuz I remember hearing they got his age off by two years or something, and he was 15 in the book.

[lamentofking]

Jeez, you guys are repeating questions! The answers to every question asked before my second post in this thread (I mean, after the very first one) is no. Now, to get to the new ones...

(lamentofking)

1. no
2. no

I'd already said he wasn't a cartoon character...You said you were talking about the character, not the actor himself. You never said he wasn't a cartoon character. If you did show me please because I don't see it. Anyways...


1. Is the answer Daniel Radcliffe also known as Harry Potter?

I haven't watched many movies so I am guessing on all of these.

[repobanjo]

In my timezone, I think it's been 24 hours since his last post. If that's true, I'm claiming this quiz to myself.

If not........

1. Is the movie he is in unrealistic?
2. Was the movie he was in based off of a book.

[Mandolin]

Okay, you guys are getting better. Repobanjo asked where I had said he wasn't an animated character... perhaps I was a bit vague about it, but I said that every question asked before my second post was no. I'm sorry if that threw you off. As for the 24-hour rule, I only meant that if the winner of the game doesn't start his own quiz in a day, it's anyone's... of course, you all can always give up! Now, the new questions:

banjo-eighty, Andre, BKsonic1234, and lamentofking: no!

repobanjo:
1. yes
2. no

I guess it might be too hard if I don't give out clues now and again, so...

-his initials are "MM"
-he is one of two main characters.
-together, they've appeared in three movies.

Come on, it's a real no-brainer now!

[lamentofking]

Is the answer Mike Myers?

[repobanjo]

I knew the answer for a while, but I didn't want to break Cavern Rules by posting without waiting for someone else to post.

Is it Marty McFly of the Back to the Future trilogy?

[Mandolin]

Ding-ding-ding! We've got a winner, folks! My character was... Marty McFly!

All righty then, repobanjo, it's your go... just make sure to follow the rules! :D

[repobanjo]

Okay then....

1. My person is a male.
2. He is from a book.

[lamentofking]

Is the person's name Harry Potter?

[Fox McBanjo]

Is it...God?

[repobanjo]

Fox McBanjo and Madolin: No.

[Mandolin]

Fox McBanjo and Madolin: No.

Erm... I hadn't asked a question yet. I think you meant lamentofking! ;)

1. Is the book unrealistic?
2. Is (or was) the author American?
3. Has there been a movie based on it?

[lamentofking]

Is it Charlie Bone?

[Fox McBanjo]

Hmm...this is hard...no more religeous figures now,time to get serious.Is it....err..............ill get back to you with an edit.

[repobanjo]

Mandolin:
1. Yes.
2.No
3. Yes

lamentofking:
No, and I would reccomend that youactually ask questions and not guess aimlessley.

[Mandolin]

Is your character Frankenstein's monster? If not...

1. is your character the protagonist?
2. is there magic involved in the story?
3. does the story take place in modern times?

[Banjomatic]

Does he wears glasses? If he does, then it´s HARRY POTTER!!!

[lamentofking]

lamentofking:
No, and I would reccomend that youactually ask questions and not guess aimlessley.I would but it takes longer to think of a question versus posting an answer. What if my answer was right and I decided to post a question? Charlie Bone is male and is from a book so my guess wasn't aimless. It was an educated guess. Anyway...

1. Is the male a teenager?

[gscodeseeker]

is the main charchter a hero

[repobanjo]

Mandolin: Yes for the first, ni for the second, and not sure for the third.

Everyone else: No.

I guess I'll give another hint.

The male is in more then three books.

[jumbo mumbo]

Is it alex rider?

[Mandolin]

Even though this contradicts a couple of clues, I'll try it due to a hunch... Sherlock Holmes?

Again, if not...

1. is he older than twenty-one?
2. was the book written before 1900?
3. Does he carry a towel around everywhere?

I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone...

[BKSonic1234]

I have to agree with Jumbo, this person sounds a lot like Alex Rider.

[lamentofking]

1. Are the books that the person is in chronological novels?

[repobanjo]

Jumbo: No, it's not Alex Rider.

Mandolin: Yes, no, and no.

lamentofking: They go in order, yes.

[Mandolin]

Methinks you should give us some more clues, like I did... otherwise, it's just too hard.

Anyway...

1. is the author male?
2. did the movie premiere in the last ten years?
3. is there more than one main character? (of equal 'rank' as him?)

[lamentofking]

1. Is the movie of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre?

[repobanjo]

Yes to them all.us And...... yeah.us You're getting close.us

[lamentofking]

1. Does the person have between 0 and 5 friends that are main chracters?

[Mandolin]

I've got it! Is your character... Tarzan?

I'm just following a hunch here. If not...

1. is the character British?
2. does he drive a really cool car?
3. does he have many... female companions?

[repobanjo]

Lamentofking: Yes

Mandolin: Yes, no, and no.

Wanna hint? Well.......His initials are AD, and his best friend is not from England, like claimed he was.

That last one gave it away.....

[Mandolin]

Got it! It's Arthur Dent! Victory is mine!

Hey... you said he didn't carry a towel around everywhere! Liar liar, pants on fire!

So, is it my turn again?

[repobanjo]

It is.

And I was too telling the truth when I said he doesn't carry a toweleverywhere. His friend, Ford, does!

[Mandolin]

It is.

And I was too telling the truth when I said he doesn't carry a toweleverywhere. His friend, Ford, does!

Dang, if you ain't right! I guess you got me there, then...

Okay then, I suppose it's my turn again. Ahem!

clue #1: my character is female.
clue #2: she is from a TV show.

...methinks we ought to advertise this thread some; only three of us seem to be playing!

[Fox McBanjo]

Is it Judge Judy?

[lamentofking]

1. Is the character from a non-animated show?

2. Is the character from an animated show?

[Mandolin]

Fox McBanjo: No... try asking questions so the game goes by more smoothly.

lamentofking: yes to the first, nay to the second... you only needed to ask one of those questions! :rolleyes:

Listen up! Here's the third clue:

clue #3: her show has concluded entirely.

I don't know exactly how much easier that makes it... good luck!

[Soulreaper41392]

Hmm...just going out on a limb here, but is it Jennifer Garner, from Alias?

If that's not it, then was the show active in the 2000's?

[Fox McBanjo]

Is this show a minor or major show?

[jumbo mumbo]

Was it on a local or cable/sattelite channel?

[Mandolin]

soulreaper41392:

1. no
2. yes

Fox McBanjo:

1. major

jumbo mumbo:

1. I don't quite understand your question... it was quite popular everywhere, if that's what you mean.

... questions are supposed to be yes/no, but I guess what you've been asking is all right, too. And at the rate you're going, it shouldn't take you long to figure it out. No clue this time (it would be too soon, methinks) but if you don't get it by next time, I'll give you one. ;)

[lamentofking]

Is it Pepper Ann?
