[DarthPorg36]

A: Gaius Octavious (aka Caesar Augustus) scratch if you don't consider "Gaius" his first name.

[Hominidae]

A: Gaius Octavious (aka Caesar Augustus) scratch if you don't consider "Gaius" his first name.

A: No.

Comment: I think it is a good idea for you all to be focusing on Person A. However, you might benefit from asking another question.

[damo666]

A died before 30BC?

[wintergreen]

Pompey for A?

[DarthPorg36]

G, H: White person?

[Hominidae]

A died before 30BC?

A: Yes.

Pompey for A?

A: No.

All guesses for A so far have been good guesses, but pretty far off from the actual target.

G, H: White person?

So, I've stated in the past that I would pass on principle on questions about white people. I would consider making an exception because you've narrowed them both down to the US, where "white" has a somewhat clearer definition than in the world as a whole, but you're already at 19 questions for Person G, so I think it's for the best to pass.

Is A. Gaius Marius?

[DreamTrawler]

Man, we have Uncle Sam, Jumbo, and Sleeping Beauty, and I still don’t know what the theme is.

A - Was he involved in Caesar’s civil war or Sulla’s civil war?

H - Tennis player?

[miminena]

Man, we have Uncle Sam, Jumbo, and Sleeping Beauty, and I still don’t know what the theme is.

They all have the letter U in their name?

[Hominidae]

A - Was he involved in Caesar’s civil war or Sulla’s civil war?

A: Careful, this would be the twentieth question.

Remember, I said that all the guesses so far for A have been very far off. If the target was someone who was involved in Caesar or Sulla's civil war, then most of the guesses so far would be close.

H - Tennis player?

H: No.

[miminena]

Clarification: How broadly is Civil War being defined here? Would political gang violence count?

Oh, sorry I thought A was at 18, not 19. I’ll scratch my question, thanks for the heads up
