Topic awaiting preservation: Guess the Dictator or Sitcom Character (Page 1 of 1)

http://www.smalltime.com/dictator.html

That's pretty cool. Sometimes it takes quite a few questions but I've tried about 7 different characters and it's gotten all but one of them so far.

Try something pretty obscure, it can get it.

:::11oh1:::

I tried Godber from Porridge and got this reponse...

'It wasn't easy, but I won this time. You are player number 116 to have chosen Lenny Godber from Porridge. Lenny Godber from Porridge was a tough one, but I've had a lot of practice.'

Well, I win this round. You are player number 8 to pick Solazar (sp?) from Portugal, and what a clever choice it was! You almost had me for a while, but you let your guard down. Don't worry, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Please play again, and next time I'll be ready for you, Solazar (sp?) from Portugal.


Hah! It is actually spelled "Salazar". i won!! <--------- what a sore loser

~this is not a signature~

That was easy...

You won this time, puny mortal! And I fail again. I guess my parents were right, I'll always be a failure. I guess it's time to start looking for a new job.
But maybe you can help me so that I'll do better next time. In the form below, enter your character and a yes/no question that I can use to guess the character. For example, if you were pretending to be Gilligan from Gilligan's Island, and I guessed that you were the Skipper from Gilligan's Island, a good yes/no question would be "Are you thin?" or "Do you often break things?". Please please please try to make your question as general as possible.

Had a major problem with Voltron, apparently.

go WShaman! this thing is freaking me out

"...cause it's a war between evil and it's a war between good ..."

Got Newman from Seinfeld no prob. Damn!

WS, Voltron doesn't qualify as a sitcom character or dictator.
Although, I think Ukla the Mok does... and Skeletor.

edit:
Wow. It does take cartoon charactes.
Just tried Skeletor and it guessed Megatron. Then again, my Skeletor lore isn't the greatest when it comes to some specifics.
Might have to try Venger and a few others.

Try Marineboy...hehe...

Well, there you have it, I was wrong again. I was positive that you were Bam Bam from Flintsones! But you are far too clever for a puny computer like me. Now you can go and tell everyone while I sit here and try to put the pieces of my crumbled existence back together.
You can help me with one thing, though. If you tell me who you were and give me a good yes/no question, then I'll be able to guess it right next time. Wouldn't that be nice? But please, try to pick a general question that would be answered "yes" for some characters and "no" for some others. For example, "Are you Monica's brother?" is a bad question, because the answer is "no" for many many characters and "yes" for very few.

Nope, didn't like that one, either.

Go Voltron force!

Of course it counts as a sitcom...hehe...

Ok, tried for real...Shaka Zulu - apparently, it didn't like him as a Dictator

It did, however, get Africa right.

Yeah, yeah. Voltron = sitcom.
I can definitetlysee that.

Got Gargamel no problem. I was #5 to try him.

Just tried Penelope Pitstop, but I can't remember much about her.

Remember any characters from The Herculoids? I bet there is a stumper in there.

Damn it!
Basterd got Mutley!

I gotta go do something else. Seriously.

Not so sure about cartoon characters yet... Didn't get Peabody from Rocky & Bullwinkle

heh If you see bad typos like that you can flag the questions to have them removed.

Even though Voltron isn't really a sitcom now that WS is trying all these characters they'll get added to the DB and be available next time.

The only one it didn't get that I tried was Kara, the girl from Krypton on a recent Smallville.

:::11oh1:::

Yep, I saw that flag option about two questions before I got to 'sqirle'

I've added both Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Tom Slick and Super Chicken from George of the Jungle

[Edit: BTW, thanks for killing my plans for today

It got the Sea Hag from Popeye. Guess a lot of people train this thing.

It's got a section for cartoons now since it asked, "Are you a cartoon?"

It's actually getting really good, it got Snake Eyes from GI Joe, Alf, Screech from Saved by the Bell (all No answers), Gruffi and Cubbi from the Gummy Bears, and Raphael from TMNT.

Beat it

I tried with Mr Bulowski from the Young Ones, and got the guess of Mr Treeger.

(edit)

oh, wait nevermind. Changed the answer to one dubious question and it got it right. Damn.
