Re: Twenty questions, round 296

Born in Chinese Outer Mongolia, Japanese-occupied Manchuria or Japanese-occupied Korea? I see where you are going with this question, and I thought of Tibet and Hong Kong also, but the question QM passed on was "born in what is now China, Taiwan or Japan." These places you ask about are all now cle...

I'll withdraw this question with much scratching in protest of Aristocrat beating me to it

Re: XX Questions Game 294

I don't have an objection per se, but I would note that game masters can always choose to hand the game off to another player even if they won the game.

(does Valencian count as Spanish?)
For the record, no. Valencian is a form of Catalan, which is definitely a different language from Spanish.
Cesare Borgia may not have been a native speaker of any Iberian language, though, right?

Re: XX Questions – Game CCXCIII

I like some parts of the old rules, but this section always bothered me, even though I wasn't playing back when people really used these rules: Before the twentieth question is answered, players who have not yet used their free guess may choose to expend their free guess alongside two consecutive q...

Re: XX Questions – Game CCXCIII

free guess: Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares? You got it! Richelieu and Olivares , by J. H. Elliott, is a great, short book that explains this period of history. I couldn't help but laugh when I read in this thread comments like that Spain was a highly "centralized kingdom". If only! You gu...

Not sure if this is a wasted question or not, as I'm not 100% confident on where native speakers would most likely be born between 1570-1727, but...

Was this person ever a pope, a doge of Venice, or a captain regent of San Marino?
Were any of those people native speakers of Spanish?
did miss that one but there is a chance I suppose
No, but native Spanish speakers did become Pope

Point of order:
What does the QM consider "Northern Europe" or "Western Europe"?

Re: XX Questions – Game CCXCIII

Clarifying question; The leader of the UK today would not be Rishi Sunak but King Charles III (is that correct as the way you answered the "leader" questions)? I am not the QM or the person who asked the question, but I would consider Sunak to be the leader, or conceivably both of them. I did not e...

No, I did not limit my answer to heads of state
