XX Questions, Game LXXI

[Jamiet99uk]

No, I think 1719.

[Bonatogether]

maybe if he's listed in the proper wikipedia category of deaths by decade?

[Jamiet99uk]

Ok fine:

Did he die between the years of 1711 and 1720?

[JECE]

Ok fine:

Did he die between the years of 1711 and 1720?

Is that your final question? No typo?

Typo? No there isn't a typo and yes that is a question.

No

[JECE]

The guy may not be a household name, but he did something really, really big.

This is what got me thinking. If it's really, really big, someone must have made a film, right?

I can't answer with certainty whether he was ever portrayed in a film, so I'll give you a hint. A far right party is pissed (or pretending to be pissed in a vainglorious attempt to win votes) that there hasn't been a major blockbuster made about your elusive friend.

[JECE]

I think we need a clue.

I can't even think of a decent 20th question. Possibilities might be:

French?
Iberian?

Keep in mind who I represented in the webDiplomacy World Cup.

[JECE]

Three total guesses left! Anyone can put forward the final three names.

The 2021 World Cup team names were:

Yorkshire Puddings
Eastern Canada
Prosecco
Great Lakes
Greatest Lakes
Sons of Vlad
California

I can't see JECE mentioned and none of these team names reveal much.

I don't think the 2022 World Cup has happened, has it?

I am confused.

The name "Sons of Vlad" was interesting to me, so I checked and the Romanian language is classified as Romance language... I thought maybe ol' Vlad the Impaler himself, but he lived in the 1400s.

[DougJoe]

Reading back through the thread, I see someone did mention Romania before but couldn't find any viable candidates.

I'm putting far too much effort into searching for this guy.

Could it be this person?

(Not a formal guess)

[Jamiet99uk]

Nah probably not him.
