Akinator

I remember stumping it with two party members from the original Shadow Hearts and Skullmaster

It seems to be bad at getting Dresden Files characters for whatever reason. I've beaten it using several characters from that series.

Also, when I tried it with The Corinthian it came up with the Hamburglar as a wrong guess. This amuses me.

Completely stumped him with Dunames Dark Witch of the Yugioh card game.

I won with Kitty Bennet. Akinator seems to have great difficulty guessing her in spite of being a supporting character from a famous book.

Dammit, why did you guys have to re-link me to this? He easily guessed Dowager Empress Cixi but had a bit of difficulty with Catherine de Medici (first guess: Josephine).

Ha ha, I stumped him with Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS!

Anything involving Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS is not really something to celebrate.

I remember our old thread on this. I remember that I had to add Dark Yagami to it. Wonder if he's still on there.

Oh Lord... I was thinking of Jesus Christ, and he seemed like he was on the right track... then suddenly, "Does your character specialize in shotguns?" evil grin

A) A "no" is just as important to him as a yes. Saying that Jesus does not specialize in shotguns is very relevant to his algorithms.

B) After he's completely sure of your character, he'll start asking random questions to fill in his database. The fact that he learns is pretty much all of the fun. However, it's also what causes him to be easily screwed up by people answering badly.

I managed to "teach" him an obscure character by repeatedly thinking of them and answering different questions over again over again until he finally got it right, but by the same logic you could teach him false answers to anything.

He got Toshi Umezawa on the third try, but I stumped him with Kurau.

Seems to have a pretty bad track record with Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors characters, even the primary ones. Doesn't even have all of them in his database.

In order of difficulty from easiest to hard:

• God: Yes
• Arthur: Yes
• Lord Flasheart: Yes
• CATS: Yes
• Jamis: Nope

Stumped him with Bradamante. He guessed O, though.

...And then I wondered why I kept using French women.

Milan Fras, the lead singer from Laibach left Akinator clueless.

Akinator just got Roland! Holycrap!

Wow, sometimes he’s good. He got both Joan Armatrading and the Sun Maid Raisins girl!

I stumped him with Lord Baal and Hemi. He did go to wolves/canines for Baal, though, so he was on the right track. And he first guessed Peter Pan for Hemi. Guess that's...okay? He needs a "is your character a ghost" question.

how can he guess a character from an obscure webcomic right and guess Dark Matter rong.

I've been able to beat him with B Ichi and some obscure names from Beowulf.

I completely stumped him with The Wisp from Knights In The Nightmare, as well as Norne from Fire Emblem, Fire Leo from Viewtiful Joe, and Dr. Ima Genius from Nuklear Age.

I managed to stump him with The Very Old Man with Enormous Wings.

I've beat him with the president of Macedonia before.

I'm surprised I'm usually able to stump him with names from The Babysitters Club.

He gave me Xelloss (in a sexy suit, no less) when I was thinking of Rezo The Red Priest.

I just beat it with Fast Eddie.

While going for Sollux, I was surprised to find that one of the questions was "is your character a troll?" Heh.

Vriska has apparently been playing over 1,100 times; he got her in 14 questions.
