[GAME OVER] Who? What? Where? at the Black Tower - Ayla wins!

[Ithillian Turambar]

I'm a little bored, so let's play a game.

 

I've had a look through wikipedia and found a famous/historical figure. You need to ask questions to find out who it is, what they did or what happened to them, and where it happened. I will say yes or no, according to the information on the wiki. When you find the answers for my first person I have another. And so it will continue, for at least a little while. I'm thinking 5 Rounds to start with - but if you're having fun I will carry on a bit more.

 

You will earn one game point for every correct answer you identify, so you can earn up to three game points per round. I will even write you a clue for each round, because I'm so very nice.

 

***Please wait for me to answer your question before you post another one - thanks ***

Oh man I have never been good at these games... Where to start?

 

This will require the mustering of what little brain power I have remaining free.

[Ithillian Turambar]

You could always try Compulsion and make me tell you the answer, other than that a good place to start might be to ask a question about the person ... or the place ... or what happened.
