The AKINATOR Thread
 
Because it deserves more than a few posts in Bits and Pieces.

I was surprised at the ease with which he got this one (answering 'probably not an animal' and 'probably a human' did it):

Only got this one second go, but his first guess was Jonathan Strange:

This does not deserve more than a few posts in Bits and Pieces.

I think it does. It gives everyone a place to post there attempts at stumping that damned genie, and his victories over obscure characters. I'm still shocked he got the potatoe-headed girl.

Also, I got that too, ench. Not sure why...

CrissCross 05-23-2011 10:02 PM

NO! he guessed it! :p

JennyGenesis 05-23-2011 10:47 PM

I remember I managed to beat it once. I really can't remember who I was thinking of though.

Ridg3 05-24-2011 01:52 AM

I beat it with Sabine Weniger. But I'm still stumped that he got Ziltoid.

Damn good book.

MeechMunchie 05-24-2011 05:09 AM

Can we move the posts from Bits 'n' Pieces in here then?

For the record, people from the forums have defeated Akinator with:

The letter N (Me just now)
Sabine Weniger
Ed Deline
The fly (Fly Tales)
Ninja (N)
Danny Antonucci
Lorne Lanning
Kochamara
Sergeant Jackrum (Monstrous Regiment)
Sgt. Shaved Balls (Probably a joke)
The Flying Hellfish

If you answer 'Is your character English' with 'Partially' he asks 'Is your character Scottish'. Don't tell Joe.

T-nex 05-24-2011 05:24 AM

It found Tom Builder from The Pillars Of The Earth.... So creepy cos the questions were all quite general :S

Bullet Magnet 05-24-2011 06:49 AM

Joe isn't Scottish.

Havoc 05-24-2011 07:37 AM

I also beat him with my own name which is derived from the Nick 'Havoc' Parker in C&C Renegade.

That's because no one cares about that game. Wahahaha!


Anyway I stumped him with a character from a danish book about northern mythology. Woohoo. But then again... it is quite obscure comparatively.

Ridg3 05-24-2011 09:21 AM

Sgt. Shaved Balls is a real character I must insist.

OANST 05-24-2011 09:50 AM

I stumped it with Therru from Earthsea.

OddjobAbe 05-24-2011 11:08 AM

I tried to stump it with the girl in the radiator (from Eraserhead). I didn't succeed. I did beat it with Tim Carey, but they had him on the list.

OANST 05-24-2011 11:19 AM

Beat him with Robin Pecknold.

Ridg3 05-24-2011 11:45 AM

I tried to get him with Fido Dido (7up man.) Didn't work.

EDIT:

By the way, Akinator is gay.

Shit. I know someone here is though. Bad guess.

Beat him with Robin Pecknold.

So did I. I didn't put him up though because he was already on the list, Aki just couldn't guess him in 60 questions.

I beat him with Saoirse Molloy (The Fridge from Round Ireland With A Fridge).

And Michaelangeo's Statue of David.

Nate 05-26-2011 05:46 AM

It thought King Herod was Otto Von Bismark, Attila the Hun and Vlad the Impaler (despite me explicitly stating that he was not Romanian and had been dead for more than 1000 years). I think it might have gotten confused when I said that he wasn't in the Bible. Well, he wasn't in my bible.

I was quite impressed that it got Steven Spielberg whilst never asking anything remotely related to filmmaking.

MeechMunchie 05-30-2011 06:10 AM

Now this is exactly the sort of thing you'd expect to find on this sort of website.

It guessed a Penis.
Which was what I was going for.
Dammit.

I managed to trick it with Alf and Jeremy Clarkson.

JennyGenesis 06-08-2011 01:37 PM

How one earth did it not know Clarkson?

Bullet Magnet 06-08-2011 04:46 PM

It didn't know Robert Pope from Mirror's Edge (the dead guy at the beginning).

Well he didn't get it for two tries, but he got it the third time. Was kind of funny.

moxco 06-08-2011 06:25 PM

Wow, he just guessed Treebeard (who I assume isn't of Asian decent), the Stig and Bob the Builder all on his first go.

I would like to see his sources code.

I had to think about who Alf was.

Well he didn't ask the right questions.
He asked if he was real and if was female, had a name related to an animal etc.

Oh, I just won with Chameleon and Dan Forden. :D
