I am pretty sure most - if not all - of you know thissillygame.
In case you do not: Usually each player is assigned a historical or famous person and has to figure out who he/she is only by asking "Yes" or "No" questions to gather clues about "their" name.
Whenever I played this I was frustrated with the limited range of possibilities, for when you are stuck with "Homer Simpson", "Indiana Jones", "Britney Spears" and "Donald Duck", this is not quite as interesting as it could be.
Here, I believe, this could be really fun.
Modified to forum use, rules are as follows: "Head" player chooses a somebody he knows enough about to answer most questions. Everybody else can ask questions which will then be answered by the current head player as truthfully as possible using only Yes or No. If the answer is not known, the answer can be "Is not known." e.g. Q: Do you believe time travel is possible? and I am answering as, say, Werner Forssmann.
Whoever first guesses correctly will - upon approval of correct guess - automatically become the new head player and assume responsibility by reiterating "Who am I?" to signal beginning of a new round.

quote:Originally posted by Dogbreath: That's the second one you've sniped in one shot.
Oh man, that's brilliant. I love that they're rapping about infantry tactics while showing them obliquely in the background. Like when Shaka talks about being "gored by the horns of the Zulu", they show his "bull horn" formation deploying - two flanks of fast-moving shock troops whose job it was to rapidly encircle the enemy before their commander had a chance to adjust. (As the British later learned when a heavily armed regiment with gatling guns, semi-automatic rifles, and artillery pieces but still fighting with Napoleonic Wars-era tactics got almost totally annihilated by a bunch of naked "savages" with frikking wooden spears and cow-hide shields)
I became a really big fan on Shaka Zulu after learning more about his military campaigns in infantry school when I was in the Marines, and realizing how much of our advanced infantry tactics and training techniques were either invented or inspired by him. (Or imitated and adapted by British officers who fought his descendants) He is, IMO, one of the greatest tacticians of all time, and a pretty spectacular example of how discipline, training, and effective small unit tactics and leadership can give a huge advantage, even against technologically superior enemies. I think if he had been born a couple hundred years earlier, then we would talk about the Zulu Empire in school as one of the great civilizations of the world rather than just another British conquest.

We are looking for a female performer (stage and screen, but primarily film), who lived after 1902 but is not alive today, was very political (as were many in her profession at the time) and quite vocal about her positions.
