Play 20 questions with a djinni that knows his characters. (http://us.akinator.com/#)


I went through a long list of things I imagined it'd never find and it found all of them. The list included Eval Knieval, Little Sisters, Jafar, Lews Therin (Wheel of Time), and finally I felt completely and utterly defeated when in only 11 questions it correctly guessed Jared the Subway guy.

This thing is good, he managed to get Jurgen from Ciaphus Cain, and Gankutsuou, Jack Churchil. I admit defeat.

Get the hell outta here.

It got Gabe from PA too. Though, I did stump it with Frank and Joe Hardy.

[Kim]

Managed to guess Gillian Seed, Kou Ichinomiya, and Hoshi. Couldn't guess Mayor no matter how many times I tried though.

[Pip Boy]

I tried the 8Bit-T version of Red Mage and it was as specific as to use his full name, Red Mage Statcowski.

[Doc ock rokc]

Yeah The Thing is fucking evil. It now knows Jenkins. The fucker
IT GOT MAJOR GENERAL STANLEY!

[Cloud Strife]

Fucker got Littlefoot. Seriously. I answered ONE QUESTION with a yes.

EDIT: Got it on Bayleef though.

[Loyal]

Welp, it got Leeroy Jenkins after 25, and Florence Ambrose (http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1900/fc01890.htm) after 30.

This may well be the best 20-questions web thing I've ever seen.

Couldn't guess Mayor no matter how many times I tried though. As in the Powerpuff Girls mayor? He got that for me.

Think we need a seperate thread for it?

[edit]Be warned: It knows of Raptor Jesus.

[Krylo]

It is pretty old and that is why it's so good--lots of time to build a database.

I am astounded that you guys have never heard of it before.

[Wigmund]

It's been linked to before. I think it had its own thread several months ago.

[Kim]

As in the Powerpuff Girls mayor? He got that for me.


Nah. Mayor from Arakawa Under the Bridge. The character is apparently in his database, and he guessed every other Arakawa character with little trouble, so I just found it a bit odd he couldn't get this one.

[EVILNess]

I tried to get him to guess Lufia for a while, but he guessed Luna, that chick from Lunar 2, and then Elly from Xenogears.

[Lyaer]

Hahaha what?

I thought I would go easy on him the first time around, so I went for Harry Potter. I start off. It's being very rational. Get a few questions in. When it asks if the character is American, I say "no," so it asks if he's from an anime.
I say "no." Now he's got an idea.
"Does your character go to school?"
"Yes," rather iconically, he does.
He's figured that I'm being predictable so he asks if the character wears glasses, which he does. He's ready to start getting specific, but doesn't want to give himself away just yet, so he asks if the character is FROM Harry Potter. Well, yes. I figure he is going to go ahead and drop the big one on me.
"Is your character the main character of the work in which he appears?" Which is really just padding. The answer to that question will give away the game, anyway. I say "yes."
Okay, now he guesses...

Wait for it...

"Is your character a geisha?"

Yeah, I dunno.

[Doc ock rokc]

"Is your character a geisha?"

Yeah, I dunno.

I always get
"Does your character have legs?" alot
He often confuses Ace Dick and Pickle Inspector.

[Jagos]

It hasn't gotten Nathan of Firefly fame...

-Edit- Well fuck... It got that one...

[Meister]

Think we need a seperate thread for it?
Sounds good!

Now let's see what he can do.

e: He's good. He got William Blake from Dead Man. Question #20 was "is your character dead" which had me thinking for a bit.

e: Tried the Black Books cast, he got Bernard right away, Manny after 30 questions and Fran not at all. Now for Father Ted!

[DarkDrgon]

couldn't get warbot

[The Sevenshot Kid]

Petrie from the Land Before Time! I only answered yes to the fact that he flies!

[Token]

It fucking guessed Youngster Joey AND Smugleaf.

[Donomni]

Things he guessed right:

WALL-E
Kamina
Mario
Chrono
Raz(!)
Shantotto(!!!)
Rice Boy(! times infinity)
Bro
Poring

He totally failed at:

Iron Man(Seriously. Hmm.)
Dave Strider(I got Justin Bieber, like, twice)
Warbot
Squiddles

That last one was fucking unfair to him/it, but considering he knew Rice Boy, I didn't hold back.

[Doc ock rokc]

he got the Sniper from tf2 in 12 Questions!


Iron Man(Seriously. Hmm.)
He got it with me in 11 questions

[32bit-RedMage]

Good.. it's hard to beat it.....

Right:
Spider jerusalem
Adrian Monk
John Locke
Paine (ffx-2)
Kei (dirty pair)
Yuri (dirty pair)

Wrong:
Rick grimes (walking dead)
Doktor sleepless
John Horus (black summer)

[Loyal]

I'm a little stumped on the distinction between "Is your character real" and "Does your character really exist". I'm guessing the first refers to actual people (George Washington, King Henry VIII), whereas the second refers to characters in actual, published media (Batman, Gordon Freeman, anyone else that isn't just "Your/Someone Else's Original Character", for which he apparantly has an entry). Could someone clarify?

He got:

Dr. Tran
Elle Driver (tried to guess The Bride first, though - understandable)
Premier Alexander Romanov (!!!)
Chell (thirteen questions!)

He Failed:

Durkon Thundershield
Jill Fizzart (Fire Emblem - This one got http://i46.tinypic.com/xc518l.png)
Jack Slater (Last Action Hero)

He had no data on:

Sizemore Rockwell

[Terex4]

It got Bender, Samantha from Bewitched, and Elminster so far. The wife and I are going to mess it a bit more later.

[Pip Boy]

Try and Try as I might, I cannot get it to guess the one time appearance character Little Rock of Horrors from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

[Terex4]

Woops computer lag posted that twice, so here's an update.

It got:
The Ninja Turtles
Casey Jones
Mrs. McClusky (Desperate Housewives)
Bluto (Popeye)

Stumped it with:
The teacher of Lynette's kids (Desperate Housewives)
Coma Guy (House)

[Julford Hajime]

He's gotten a couple I'm surprised he got, considering his questions weren't really leading directly into the characters. For example, he got Char Aznable (Mobile Suit Gundam), Kamille Bidan (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam), and Chrno (Chrono Crusade) all on question 20, despite never really narrowing it down too well.

Also managed to trigger my Gundam Nerdrage function when he claimed I was thinking of the Strike Freedom instead of Wing Gundam.

Things he didn't get, even after 40 questions:
Hot Ice Hilda (Outlaw Star)
Brad Swaile (Canadian Voice Actor)

I'mma keep trying, see what else he'll get.

[Terex4]

He guessed Snow Miser instead of Richard from Looking for Group. That got a chuckle out of me.

[32bit-RedMage]

This time I only went with "obscure" (well .. no..not THAT obscure) characters and it got them all wrong.
Here's the list:
Arnis
Judex
Wolfskin
Empowered
Ninjette
King Steve
Pamila
Phil
Ulysses 31
Lil mac
Ness
Ichi the killer
It also got all of the 5 cadillac cats wrong

[Bob The Mercenary]

Didn't guess:
The Giver
Brian Robeson
Cheetahmen
Gabe
Hardy Boys

Did guess:
Bullet Bill
Basically every character from Ender's Game and Shadow
Got Navi in 16 questions

Haha, if you answer yes every time he guesses "some guy who always clicks 'yes'".

[Osterbaum]

Fucking thing got Roman Bellic from GTAIV. Too bad it didn't ask the question "Does your character call you all the time and thus annoy the fuck out of you?"

EDIT:
Also got the whole of SG-1, Serenity crew and all of our very own Light Warriors except Thief. And Red Mage on the second try.

[phil_]

It can't guess Kira from Dokapon Kingdom yet. Not surprising, given that tonight is the first night I've been successful at finding a picture of her on the internet.

[Yrcrazypa]

What the heck? It guessed Franklin Pierce at 20 questions! I thought he'd be one of the more obscure presidents.

He can't guess Dynomite from Robot Dinosaurs That Shoot Beams When They Roar. That's depressing.

[Wigmund]

Managed to get Emperor Joshua Norton.
Didn't get Father though. Odd.

Haha, if you answer yes every time he guesses "some guy who always clicks 'yes'".

If you answer 'No' to that and then keep answering Yes you get this
http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af38/lwyman/Random%20crap/smartass.jpg?t=1276142096
Followed by Bigfoot and then 'fatale'.

[bluestarultor]

Failed to get Retsu Fukami (GekiBlue).

[Geminex]

He got CMOT Dibbler in 25! He guessed Moist Von Lipwig after 20.

Edit: Dave from HS as well. Gonna try parson gotti next.

[KeienSlayer]

He guessed Grimlock in 32, after guessing Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal.

EDIT: He did not get George from Bob and George.

[Yrcrazypa]

He got Transcendent One from Planescape: Torment, but I forgot how many questions it took him. That's pretty insane.

[Jagos]

Took two sets of questions but he got the Pyro

That thing is awesome...

FYI I Check for Spies

[Melfice]

What the heck? It guessed Franklin Pierce at 20 questions! I thought he'd be one of the more obscure presidents.

Obviously, the Djinn watched Animaniacs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvy0wRLD5s8&NR=1).

[Meister]

I'm a little stumped on the distinction between "Is your character real" and "Does your character really exist". [...] Could someone clarify?
People can enter their own questions - maybe that one got entered twice and no one bothers to check them.

[P-Sleazy]

Damn bastard guessed himself. He also got:

Neil Patrick Harris
Robocop
Travis Touchdown
Yakko
Megaman

[Thadius]

Holy hell he got Thief! It only took him around 30 questions, but he finally got it. He also got Riddick. Hmm. I wonder if he'll get Garland as well...

Edit: Yep. Sarda as well. Along with Bahamut.

Edit2:The thing knows of Overlord, we're proper fucked.

[Scup]

I must say, I'm a little unimpressed. I stumped him through 40 questions a few too many times.
Nuklear Man
Atomik Lad
Atomik Knight
A black cat
Samuel L. Jackson
Phillip Von Hohenheim

He did get deckard Cain though. In fairness, 3 of mine weren't in his database yet. All in all, a good way to kill a few hours. I like it

[Specterbane]

He couldn't get Agent Bearclaw from Dr. McNinja. Who actually has his own facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Agent-Bearclaw/91529596519).

I'm a little surprised, I thought he'd get that one.

[Corel]

Couldn't guess the Dragon from Panzer Dragoon (Got close though, first with generic Dragon and then Bahamut.)

Anybody remember the same kind of program, but it had Darth Vader instead?

[Azisien]

Stumped it with Guru Pathik from Avatar. It's 20th question guess on that run was He-Man. I had a good larf.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Dear Jesus I remember this thing. He knows everything. Its scary. Among things, he has guessed:

Me (no joke)
My Mother
His wife
Problem Sleuth
John Egbert

Edit: It thought gallowscalibrator was Predalien. Almost got Jack Noir.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I was thinking of the woman of my dreams.

First he guessed his daughter. Which is way too young, even for my perverted tastes.
Then "my wife to come" Which for some reason had a picture of Tifa Lockheart, and man, I don't dig that cleavage. It's bigger than my head. I don't plan on marrying anyway.
Then... My ideal lover. Of course this still wasn't quite what I was going for, but I just pretended that was who I was thinking about. Boy was he happy.

[Fenris]

He didn't get JJ Johnson.

But nobody knows who JJ Johnson is. He was in the database like 3 lists in though.

He did guess Akinator though :C

And "The guy from the advertising on the banner" holy cow this guy is good.

Missed "Ali Farokhmanesh," though.

[Grimpond]

Fuck this thing is awesome.

Megaman on 12

Ichigo on 20

Richard Cypher on 30

e: ahh fuck he got Sam Vimes in 10

[32bit-RedMage]

It got Nick Fury wrong .... and then it got the punisher wrong !! :wtf:

It guessed really obscure character but not those 2 ...
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT !!!

[Bard The 5th LW]

It managed to successfully guess Axe Cop (http://axecop.com/) within 15 questions.

[Living Bobbeh]

It got MC Bat Commander from The Aquabats. It goes to weird mythos of semi-obscure punk bands. This thing is skynet, I'm sure of it.

IT GOT SKYNET AS WELL

[CABAL49]

He didn't get CABAL!

Edit: Got Kane first time though.

[Doc ock rokc]

It got Nick Fury wrong .... and then it got the punisher wrong !! :wtf:

It guessed really obscure character but not those 2 ...
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT !!!

funny I tried them and he got them both before 20 questions

[Wigmund]

Got:
Ladd Russo
Christopher Johnson's kid from District 9 (Oh what a cute bug alien prawn thing (http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs51/i/2009/318/b/a/District_9_Oliver_by_Gantzcraziness.jpg)!)
Evony ad breasts women
Yotsuba
Robot Unicorn

Also missed:
Herville Schtein from String Theory
Luca deSadar the Emperor from The Meek (guessed Mahmoud Ahmadinijad and Kronar from Oglaf)
Wexter the T. Rex
Flute Cop and his many incarnations

[Thadius]

Akinator, the psychic-type pokemon. This pokemon is able to tell whenever someone is thinking of anything familiar. It constantly seeks to expand its knowledge and is gracious when defeated in a battle of wits. It is not known to evolve from or into any new types.

(Seriously he's able to guess everything I throw at him, more often than not in 20, but ALWAYS in 30.)

[Amake]

Things the genie had never heard of before I told it:
David Mack's Kabuki.
Brian Michael Bendis' Powers.
Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol. Yeah, neither Jane, Rebis, Cliff or Niles. It did guess Silver Surfer on the first three though.
The Invisibles. Well, not quite unheard of. It guessed King Mob on the 42:nd try. Interesting guesses on the way: Heath Ledger Joker and Snake Plissken.

Also, albeit understandably, me. It guessed Moiraine Sedai and Akroma (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=193871&type=card) so that's pretty sweet.

[Specterbane]

I also just stumped him with "Sam Halpern" from Sh*t my Dad Says.

[Tempest]

He got Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, Luke, Urahara Kisuke (from bleach), Vash (from Trigun), Wolfwood (Trigun).

He didn't get Mackenzie (from Touch Detective, DS game).

[Chocobo]

He didn't get Liu Wong

[32bit-RedMage]

funny I tried them and he got them both before 20 questions

I tried again ... and this time it got the Punisher right but it guessed Nick Fury wrong again.
