[MrScorpio]

The rules:

- Up to three Yes on No questions per post

- Post as many as you like

- Thread has a sixty post limit

Some clues:

- You have three questions to use per post. Anything less than that is a waste

- A lot of you guys will ask the same question. Read the other posts, clues are there

- If you know what the career path is don't ask unrelated questions

- You should look for these basic clues: Sex, Race, Alive or Dead, Nationality, Occupation, Published or Featured works

[Zuni]

41. I redeem myself!

I forgot to follow up on the Debs question earlier

BTW---good choices!

[MrScorpio]

43. You are damn good at this

Were you a history major?

[Zuni]

46. yes I was, from University of Maryland

But I really enjoy these quiz games

[MrScorpio]

51. Me too

But I'm not college trained

I just love history

[Zuni]

53. History is by far my fav subject

But are you from Maryland? I live in Annapolis.

[MrScorpio]

55. I'm in southern Virginia

But I used to live in DC

And I'm originally from Detroit

I love this part of the country because of all the history it represents

[Zuni]

57. I was in Northern Virginia last weekend

A good friend of mine lives in Centerville, near manassas and we toured the Bull Run Battlefield.

I was sickened by the sprawl up there. Developers are building strip malls on the battlefields. Now you can by a home in 'Stonewall jackson estates' right on the Battlefield

[MrScorpio]

59. I was DC this last Saturday

Welcome to Virginia

[Zuni]

61. Thank you

I enjoy DC, but I am more of a Baltimore person. My dad's side of the family are all from baltimore and they have thick murlin accents.
I go to Baltimore all the time, but rarely ever go into DC.
I love parts of VA. Particularly the Shenandoah

[ralps]

44. Congratulations Zuni, as soon as I saw your answer I knew you

were right.:toast: :bounce: :thumbsup: :hi: :hug:

[Zuni]

47. Thank you!

:hi:

[MrScorpio]

49. Zuni knows how to play the game well

Almost too well

[Zuni]

52. It is quite fun

I love history trivia.
I remember playing games like this with my mom in the car. We used to have Trivial Pursuit Cards in the car for long trips to quiz each other

[MrScorpio]

54. Tell what made this one click in your brain?

You knew it before you got your "yes, yes, yes"

[Zuni]

56. well

Eastern Europe, Monarch, after 1400 but before 1600. It just came to me, so I asked the questions. It was the 1st non-Russian Eastern European monarch that came to my head, really
Earlier, with Debs I got the same feeling after reading a few questions
I was thinking monarch but threw in Spain and Portugal after you said Monarch but nixed England and France. I also held out for Ivan IV (the terrible)

[MrScorpio]

58. Did you think it too easy?

If I had gone for Charles III, would it have been more obscure?

[Zuni]

60. It would have been tougher

but it cannot be too hard. DU is not full of people who can name arcane royalty from hundreds of years ago.
If it is too hard, people will never get it. Make it tricky enough to make them think, but not too hard that they won't get it.
This one kept me puzzled for a while. Debs was tough for a while too.

[MrScorpio]

62. My thing is that I don't want to treat people as it they're stupid

We have a lot of smart cookies around here, so I want game that really challenges you guys.

I love challenges, I hope you guys do too.

I'm no genius, but I am just few points short.

If this was in freeptardland they wouldn't have figured it out after 100 even.

[Kenneth ken]

45. good job!

I would have been forever to get that name.

Zuni
:yourock:

[Zuni]

48. Thanks

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Were you a warlord? Were you poisoned? Is your name associated with

mean people?

[MrScorpio]

38. Yes, no, yes

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. Are you Vlad the Impaler?

:shrug: this is tough.

[MrScorpio]

42. You got it right

But two minutes after Zuni

[Kenneth ken]

36. were you

born in Spain?

were you born in Germany?

Are you Roman-Catholic (as opposed to Greek orthodox)?

I'm kind of stumped for questions

[nankerphelge]

50. Are you...

Ricky Schroder star of Silver Spoons?
(Pretty sure he fought the turks in one of those episodes)
