I want you to know I'm really going to suck at this, but I'll try it anyway because it looks fun *ahem*.
Seriously though, it does just look fun. But, having never run one of these before, I have a quick question: If somebody asks me a question about my person, what do I do? For example, if it is George Washington and somebody says "Were you the first president of the United States?" Do I say a. "yes, good job, you win" b. "no, I am not George Washington" or c. "umm... I have no idea. Take a general"?

The letter is A. There are far too many potential forbidden categories for me to list them all, but I guess I'd better go with classical music

Good job Doc! I'm Don Adams.

Generals
1. I'm male
2. I'm alive
3. I currently reside in the United States
4. I am older than 45 (posted 8/4/03)
5. I am an artist or performer
6. I am an actor
7. I am over 65 (8/5/03)
8. I am not known for movies rather than tv.

Should you get a stumper to which the only answer you know is the person you had in mind, you have lost the game.

Stumper: Are you the lead singer in Yes?

[groza528]

Hmm... Maybe I should have just said "music." Andersen?

[jadesmar]

Close, I'll give you Jon Anderson.

Stumper: Did you play drums for Whitesnake?

[Norinel]

Stumper: Are you a writer of old text adventures with the same name as someone a bit more famous?

(I might not be around long enough to take the general, but it's nice to post in a celli that doesn't already have ten million replies already)

[groza528]

Generals for both.

[groza528]

What if I legitimately didn't know George Washington was the first president of the United States? When the answer was revealed, should I concede?

[jadesmar]

Yes, you should probably concede.
(I mean in your hypothetical situation, not now)

Answer: Tommy Aldridge
General: Are you male?
Stumper: Do you share an office with Dick Solomon?

[Norinel]

Answer: Scott Adams (Not the Dilbert one)
General: Are you alive?

[groza528]

Yes I'm male, yes I'm alive
No, I'm not Mary Albright

[groza528]

It would be very embarassing if he died before you figure it out Would I be forced to change the answer to the general?

[MatthewV]

and possible give it away...

Did he write a book with a Heart of Gold?

[groza528]

Not Douglas Adams

[MatthewV]

Did he defeat Balor using a special stone? (computer game reference, be warned)

[groza528]

Hmm... Computer Game Reference... It doesn't sound like WC3, but maybe this name just happens to be common in computer games: Arthus?

[The Ktulu]

Do you have many voices on a popular cartoon show?

[groza528]

Popular is a matter of opinion. Not that it matters. Tex Avery?

[The Ktulu]

That works.

[Hitchhiker]

Are you a GL-er who is a trained herbalist, and whose real name is one letter away from a portrayer of James Bond?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Did you write The gods themselves?

[MatthewV]

oooh you got the first letter
Alric. Myth the Fallen Lords.

General: do you live in America currently?

[groza528]

Hitchhiker: No I am not Agamemnon
Dragon Phoenix: This is a complete guess: Andrews?
MatthewV: I live in America

[groza528]

Googled DP's; I really should've known that. Bah.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Asimov of course.

Keeping the general for the moment.

Stumper: are you a multiple-personality character hanging out with Foul Ole Ron and others?

[Lucky Wizard]

Stumper: Did you recently make headlines after a guy harassed you over the issue of whether you'd ever been to a certain place, and your response was to punch him in the face?

[Lucky Wizard]

Uh... I'm not sure why I used the word "recently"; it was some time ago (a year?)

[Hitchhiker]

Are you "an airy Sprite" with a shipwrecked master?

[groza528]

OK, DP can take another general (I don't think this is one I should know )
Lucky Wizard gets one too. But I'm sure I'll recognize the name.
Hitchhiker, I'm not Ariel

[Dragon Phoenix]

Ir was Andrews. Altogether Andrews. Keeping two generals.

Stumper: are you the famous striker of Real MAdrid in the sixties?

[The Doctor]

[npog]What does DP mean, 'Keeping the Generals"? Is he playing Stratego? [/npog]

[groza528]

/vote DP doesn't get to play anymore
I'm just bitter because I'm too young to know about any of these folks
Guessing Andrews again, just in case. And I was going to guess Andrews on that last one, figuring you'd find it ironic.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Nope. Amoroso. Three generals in the bank.

Stumper: are you a Daedalian who registered before 1-1-2000?

[groza528]

Luckily, I was around then. Who else was here?
No I am not... amb?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Heh - I was thinking of Andy, but amb of course works (Date Registered: 12-07-1999).

Stumper: are you a Georgian international soccer player who played for Ajax?

[groza528]

DP: general
Hitchhiker: I'm not Alice (did she have a last name?)
Duphrates: general
Orbitinig: I'm not Aristophanes?

[Duphrates]

Answer was Ian Anderson

Are you older than 45?

STUMPER : Are you the Italian painter whose painting 'Summer' was of a man's head, made up entirely of fruit and vegetables.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Shota Arveladze - keeping the general. Too hot to think.
