Twenty Questions Game 376

[wintergreen]

Sure, a hint could move the game along.

Then, as a hint, I will answer FlaviusAetius's previously scratched question, that this person's political source of fame is, indeed, as a mayor.

[Aristocrat]

Tom Leppert?

[wintergreen]

Eric Adams

[miminena]

Tom Leppert?

Not Tom Leppert

Eric Adams

Not Eric Adams

Two guesses left

[DarthPorg36]

I was thinking Rudy Giuliani, but he falls outside of the being born zone, and I would say has been newsworthy in the last year.

I'm dead stuck.

[miminena]

I can't think of any hints that will be useful without giving too much away, so I will allot the guessers one extra question. Use it wisely.

[DreamTrawler]

I think we should use the extra question to find out this person's non politics area of fame. My assumptions are actor or musician but there could be something else out there too

I don't think it's either of those, because "politics or arts" was passed. If this person was primarily famous for being both an actor and a politician, that question would have gotten a "yes".

Very true. So it's probably not in the arts then. We also know it's not military, science, crime, or sports. Maybe business? Or just generally media/meme status?

[Hominidae]

We could also ask about geographic location of the city they were mayor of, and timing (whether they're still mayor).

[han-shahanshah]

Or party affiliation

[Hominidae]

What if we ask if they're a mayor of a city of, say, more than 100,000 people as of 2023 or something like that?

(Not a question for the QM, just an idea for one.)

What kind of places can one be mayor of in US. Is there much variation in population?

It varies, but generally anywhere that's legally a city. Cities can be as small as a few hundred people. Generally a mayor of a very small town wouldn't be famous, unless they're famous for something else (e.g. Clint Eastwood).

Does he appear on this list?

This is a pointless question unless you can find someone on this list who fits.

Well, I'm not gonna bother doing that unless the answer is yes.

I'll withdraw the question for 2 hours. If no better question I will reask.

[Hominidae]

How about:

Is this person currently a mayor?

[DreamTrawler]

How about:

Is this person currently a mayor?

What if we ask if they are currently a mayor, or ever a mayor of: insert list of big cities here. That way we can have some lists to go off of if the answer is yes.

I also still think we could ask about his fame outside politics, i.e. was he a businessman, journalist, comedian, radio/Internet personality etc
