[wintergreen]

Was it on the map?

[wintergreen]

Oh, it was on the list. Never mind.

Born after 1960?

If no, free guess: Nicos Anastasiades.
If yes, free guess: Nikos Christodoulides.

[Hominidae]

Oh, it was on the list. Never mind.

Born after 1960?

If no, free guess: Nicos Anastasiades.
If yes, free guess: Nikos Christodoulides.

Yes to born after 1960, no to Nikos Christodoulides.

[Hominidae]

Was it on the map?

Huh, it's actually not on the map at all, but I think answering "no" would have counted as playing games.

[cdngooner]

I expect this is someone quite obscure, but I'll take one guess:

Ersan Saner, former Prime Minister of Northern Cyprus. He's the only one who fits the demographic criteria, whose Wikipedia pages notes that he speaks English.

[Aristocrat]

Is this person primarily known for the politics, military, or government of Cyprus or Nothern Cyprus, or for something related to a branch of Orthodox Christianity?

[Aristocrat]

Is this person primarily known for the politics, military, or government of Cyprus or Nothern Cyprus, or for something related to a branch of Orthodox Christianity?

Please amend to:

Is this person primarily known for the politics, military, or government of Cyprus, Nothern Cyprus, or Turkey, or for something related to a branch of Orthodox Christianity?

[DreamTrawler]

free guess: Giorgos Vassiliou

[JECE]

Born in Akrotiri or Dhekelia, or born anywhere on the island but was born or became a citizen of a non-Greek, non-Turkish country? (withdraw this question if the previous question is answered in the affirmative)

[DreamTrawler]

I regret using the Wikipedia definition of the Atlantic rather than passing on the question and asking for clarification. To compensate, I am giving you three additional questions, so you have five left. You're on the verge or figuring out this person's island of birth, but figuring out the individual might take some more narrowing down.

Yknow, it's on me for not checking the Atlantic Ocean wiki article, but to add to the confusion the article I *was* looking at, "List of islands in the Atlantic Ocean", has a map that excludes the Caribbean and Mediterranean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_islands_in_the_Atlantic_Ocean

[Hominidae]

Ersan Saner, former Prime Minister of Northern Cyprus. He's the only one who fits the demographic criteria, whose Wikipedia pages notes that he speaks English.

No.

Pass. (For the amended version).

free guess: Giorgos Vassiliou

No.

Born in Akrotiri or Dhekelia, or born anywhere on the island but was born or became a citizen of a non-Greek, non-Turkish country? (withdraw this question if the previous question is answered in the affirmative)

I assume this means "other than Cyprus". No, this person is not a citizen of any country other than Cyprus as far as I know.

[Hominidae]

Two more questions, also I guess I kind of gave away this is someone who is a citizen of Cyprus and not Northern Cyprus.

[DreamTrawler]

1,2,3,5 4,5,8,9,10,13,18. Real human born in Cyprus
6,12,19. Born after 1960
7. Not a native speaker of a Romance language
11. Male
14,16. Known for politics (but not involved in politics of the US, the UK, or Canada), military, government, or religion
15. Fluently speaks, or spoke, English or an English-based pidgin or creole
17. Still alive
20. Not born in Akrotiri or Dhekelia (British Overseas Territory) or a citizen of a country other than Cyprus

2 extra questions allowed

Passed:
Is this person primarily known for the politics, military, or government of Cyprus, Nothern Cyprus, or Turkey, or for something related to a branch of Orthodox Christianity?

NOT:
Nikos Christodoulides (wintergreen)
Ersan Saner (cdngooner)
Giorgos Vassiliou (DreamTrawler)

[BaronVonRichthofen]

Free guess: Rauf Denktaş

[BaronVonRichthofen]

Free guess: Rauf Denktaş

Revoked, my mistake. Didn't realize he was dead

[DreamTrawler]

Free guess: Rauf Denktaş

Person we're looking for is still alive, so rescind your guess if you'd like

Edit: nvm you beat me to it

[BaronVonRichthofen]

Also I just re-read the rules and all 20 questions are done, so isn't it true I don't get any more free guesses? Wondering because I think I have an idea on who it is.

All of the rules can be bent by the question master (QM) and here Hominidae extended the game to 22 questions, so the free guesses should go until question 22 is answered (I guess that was not explicitly stated, but every time I've seen that the QM extends the game the free guess rule also goes along with it, QM here can correct me if they disagree).

[BaronVonRichthofen]

If that's true my free guess is Niyazi Kızılyürek.

[DreamTrawler]

If that's true my free guess is Niyazi Kızılyürek.

Sorry to keep sniping your guesses (only doing it to give you more chances) but it looks like he was born in 1959 so just a year out of the range we have
