Is this outstanding or refunded due to Japan being confirmed?

Re: Twenty Questions, Game 90
As I said, it is someone from Japan and not China. Anyone who guessed someone from China has their free guess refunded.
It is not Koxinga (I wasn’t aware he was born in Japan— good to know!)

Well, the beans were already spilled since he didn't die until after 1650. But I get another free guess, then?han-shahanshah wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 7:40 pmAs I said, it is someone from Japan and not China. Anyone who guessed someone from China has their free guess refunded.

I didn't realize that he was born in Japan either, ha ha.

Re: Twenty Questions, Game 90
I played a NES game way back when called _Shingen the Ruler_ where Shingen Takeda was the protagonist, so I always think of him first in that period. I never played _Nobunaga's Ambition_.Kakarroto wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 3:57 pmYeah, there were many important personalities at the time, though personally I tend to think of the winning side more; and honestly, I think it's probably something like a 50/50 between Nobunaga and Ieyasu, at least for me.
The signs in Ryu's stage from _Street Fighter II_ are a shortened version of Takeda's battle standard (which itself came from Sun Tzu's _Art of War_.)

Not Oda Nobunaga.
At this rate it’s down to very few candidates and a smart player would use conditionals to guess multiple people..

Re: Twenty Questions, Game 90
Yes if you count daimyos as samurais.. this has essentially been answered by question twelve though.
Re: Twenty Questions, Game 90
Q 12 seemed to leave a lot of military options open (lots of and/ors)... and samurai worked for daimyos, right? So personally I wouldn't consider them the same.han-shahanshah wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 11:50 pmYes if you count daimyos as samurais.. this has essentially been answered by question twelve though.
Re: Twenty Questions, Game 90
...although Wikipedia says that some daimyos were promoted samurai, but I was thinking of a couple of samurai who were never daimyos (Hattori Hanzo and Miyamoto Musashi).DougJoe wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:03 amQ 12 seemed to leave a lot of military options open (lots of and/ors)... and samurai worked for daimyos, right?

Re: Twenty Questions, Game 90
Free guess: since the other two "great unifiers" have been guessed, I'll try the third, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Re: Twenty Questions, Game 90
I verified Kakarroto’s earlier interpretation.
Nope, not him.
Wikipedia does not explicitly call him a samurai but a daimyo.DougJoe wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:06 am...although Wikipedia says that some daimyos were promoted samurai, but I was thinking of a couple of samurai who were never daimyos (Hattori Hanzo and Miyamoto Musashi).DougJoe wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:03 amQ 12 seemed to leave a lot of military options open (lots of and/ors)... and samurai worked for daimyos, right?

Re: Twenty Questions, Game 90
There are so many and we only have one question left:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_d ... oku_period
The entertainer question and response is interesting.

Many daimyo were poets and some of the Wikipedia articles even include their death poems. But the word "some" suggests that historians have verified that this man also painted and/or played a musical instrument.han-shahanshah wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 7:05 pmAlthough he could conceivably fit some of those descriptions depending on interpretation, I would not call him an entertainer.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 6:09 pmWas this man an entertainer (including actor, music man, poet, comedian, painter, sculptor, magician, circus performer, competitive eating champion, or writer of fiction) ?

I seriously doubt this person is famous or even vaguely well known.

Re: Twenty Questions, Game 90
Well I submitted a guess twice and you ignored me both times so I'm losing track to be honest.
