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:

What... what are you saying to me...

Mr. Bungle · #5 05-23-2011, 06:00 PM

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 · #6 05-23-2011, 11:02 PM

NO! he guessed it!

JennyGenesis · #7 05-23-2011, 11:47 PM

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

Ridg3 · #8 05-24-2011, 02:52 AM

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

Damn good book.

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 · #11 05-24-2011, 06:24 AM

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

Bullet Magnet · #12 05-24-2011, 07:49 AM

Joe isn't Scottish.

Havoc · #13 05-24-2011, 08:37 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 · #15 05-24-2011, 10:21 AM

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

OANST · #16 05-24-2011, 10:50 AM

I stumped it with Therru from Earthsea.

OddjobAbe · #17 05-24-2011, 12:08 PM

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 · #18 05-24-2011, 12:19 PM

Beat him with Robin Pecknold.

Ridg3 · #19 05-24-2011, 12:45 PM

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.

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*** · #21 05-26-2011, 06:46 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 · #22 05-30-2011, 07:10 AM

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

Gwan-Thwei · #23 06-08-2011, 10:36 AM

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

I managed to trick it with Alf and Jeremy Clarkson.

JennyGenesis · #25 06-08-2011, 02:37 PM

How one earth did it not know Clarkson?

Bullet Magnet · #26 06-08-2011, 05:46 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 · #28 06-08-2011, 07:25 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.
