I haven't messed with this in over a year, but last time I did it got Bartimaeus, who is a snarky demon without a true physical form. I had to answer nearly every question with a negative or "I don't know", and he still got it.

lol

Dread Pirate Arbuthnot

It couldn't get Mat Cauthon from the Wheel of Time. Take that, robot.

Klatu

Took it 30 questions to get Gozer, it's first guess was big horned guy from Legend after 20..

CaptainPeacock

It got the Mannequin guy from Today's Special in 10....

That was the best I could come up with from my childhood.

I, for one, welcome our new Akinator overlord.

Skittlebrau

I was surprised when it got Toonces, the Driving Cat.

Jacks_Colon

It got the Oscar, as in the award.

Also it got my dick, this is weird.

Yes!
"Is your character slanty-eyed?"

In its defense, that's a pretty good question to ask if your character's from an anime, as sometimes the Japanese portray the Chinese as having pencil-thin closed eyes, and other times do not.

I found it had trouble with Megaman bosses, though, probably since there are 80 or so from Classic alone with nearly identical descriptions.

Yes!
"Is your character extremely racist?"
Akinator, you are wasting questions.

Vanderbrent

I beat it with Todd from Todd and the book of pure evil

also, the thing has Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen in it, which is just impressive.

CycloneRanger

Hmmm; Akinator failed to guess Bhima from the Mahabharata even after 40 questions.

[Edit: Got Themistocles, though, after three tries. It was looking pretty grim there for a while.]

[Edit 2: Oh shit, son. He got Captain Dathon, of "Darmok" fame in ST:TNG. I didn't even know that guy was given a name; I was just going for "Tamarian Captain".]

[One last edit: I just got Kirk'd by the Akinator. I was trying to play Robert Oppenheimer and he asked if my character "had killed humans". Ten minutes later I'm still not sure how to answer.]

L|ama

after guessing terminator at 20. He won't go any further.

I had in mind pants from Jerkcity.

Magus`

People are starting to feed him bullshit questions and 'characters', sadly.

Delzhand

He didn't get Lenneth Valkyrie. He guessed some Touhou character at 20, then asked if the character used a bow. I clicked yes and the site just stopped responding.

So, if we're ever attacked by sentient robots, call in the Valkyries, I guess.

Raiden333

Man, I thought Croaker from the black company would have been way too hard to get in 20 questions.

Nope! He never even asked "is your character a doctor" or anything.

The only problem, and it's unavoidable, is when people give incorrect information, whether it's accidental or intentional.

For example, according to the people who have used this site, Ellen Page is American. Or apparently, Thomas Lang, an Austrian session drummer, was in Lord of the Rings (he wasn't).

Rikushix

You can correct answers though, can you not? or is that just the picture/name?

This is why it at Yuri from Infinite Space. The plot spans too much in the characters life and too much weird stuff for definite yes or no answers on a lot of the questions it asks.

L|ama

It almost certainly fixes answers based on what the majority says.

Hachface

It's pretty weak on Shakespeare.

JohnDoe

Akinator didn't guess Owyn from Betrayal at Krondor.

JohnDoe

No Silent King from Planescape Torment either!

theSquid

Couldn't guess Velvet or Vella from the Malloreon.

Had to introduce Vella.

Does that even count as a character?

Deadfall

Got Ezio in 9 questions. Questions 7 and 8 were "Is he Italian?" and "Is he a climber." Dang.

Hey, if Wilson from Cast Away does...

Sentient6

Couldn't get Nicky Heath from The Devil You Know.

Still, that thing is scary. Got my first few all within 30 questions. I am afraid.

Stop playing!

You are feeding him.

Due to your careless giving of information, he is closer to knowing all.

We are Akinator.

Jurg

Akinator doesn't know his Zeboyd Games characters. B)

joshua1

I was trying for Detective Jack Sprat from the Nursery Crimes series and I seemed to have it beat. I was surprised when it threw Dirk Gently at me. I mean, the series are so themeaticly linked!

It did have Jack Spratt in the list of corrections at the end, but that one was referring to the nursery rhyme. Jack Sprat is a Detective who is ALSO a nursery rhyme.

Zombiemambo

beat it with D.L. Diamond from Superjail

he asked some questions that got me worried for a bit but he never quite nailed it

Resistance is futile.

Octoparrot

Help me get this thing to understand that John Galt is an evil bastard.

zeeny

Wtf is this shit, after 6 questions, 3 I don't knows, I confirmed it's an american, it hasn't existed and not from a cartoon, it doesn't ask me if it's from a video game, but it asks me if IT'S FROM THE FALLOUT SERIES? Get out of here. I was going for the Vault Dweller.

Rikushix

Haha, stumped it with Captain Ventralis from Mass Effect.

Octoparrot

Amazing I had to teach it Kurma the World Turtle.

Ego

Oooh, time to see if it gets A'Tuin from discworld.

Ego

Heh, it got it. I imagine novel + unknown sex + been into space is what did it (apart from being an animal with four legs and claws that isn't a cat or dog.)

Dangerous

Incredible, it got Francis York Morgan from Deadly Premonition in 20 questions. Gonna have to try something harder next time.

Edit: Damn, also got Scott Shelby from Heavy Rain.
