Oh wow I totally forgot how fun this thing is. I found him about 4 years ago in high school, he could never guess what I thought of until I got lazy and thought of "captian falcon".Veldie said:
Still nice to see him again, let's see... I'll think of...
MANTIS!
Does he guess it?
-plays-
25 questions later he guesses Wheatly...
42 questions later he guesses Dog... (Half-life 2)
67 questions later he guesses Heatran...
Yeah I don't think he's going to get it lol.
It took it two tries to come up with Legion. The first try had it guessing Garrus.
I tried Darth Sion next. It guessed Darth Malak first. Than it guessed Darth Sion.
Then I tried Deacon Publicover from the Video Games Awesome webshow from Youtube. It first gave me Haxornova or whoever. Than it guessed Deacon on the second try.
Next I tried Alduin and he guessed it on the first try.
Then I tried Naoto Shirogane and he guessed it on the first try.
Tried The Arbiter and it guessed Slenderman. Then Mr. Game and watch. Than it got Arbiter.

I beat it with Tal Hawkins on my first go too. Obviously the genie doesn't read good books lol.MetalDooley said:
Something weird's going on.
I decided to play some more today, and after reloading the page, it looks different, has a different (slightly) web address, and requires more questions before he gives up (yesterday, he always gave up at 60 questions - now he keeps going... forever?
What happened between yesterday and today?

I can't tell from the way you wrote that - are you saying that you're one of the admin/creators of Akinator and that you submitted an update for that express purpose? Or are you just a fan like I am making an observation?Noobxs said:
Because clearly there was some sort of update.
However, adding extra answers doesn't explain why the GUI has gotten less friendly (and more primitive) or why the address changed from http://us.akinator.com/ to http://en.akinator.com/
I tried everything. I even tried to see if I could fooling him with "Yahtzee" but he guessed it.
Later: Finally got him with Connors from Desert Storm II

I failed with Sir Schmoopy only after around 75 questions, how many questions can he ask all in all?
EDIT: I failed with Jack from Jacksfilms, but beat him with Cr1tical

Something happened when the website updated last night. The update seems to have made Akinator a great deal more stupid. Last night he got most everything I thought of, now he's having trouble trying to figure out even the most well known characters.
EDIT
Yeah, Akinator is definitely broken right now. Last nights update definitely messed with something. He seems to be asking a whole load of highly specific questions instead of the usual general ones he starts out with before narrowing things down.

I find that the mobile app fares better. On the iOS version, it was able to get various visual novel characters first shot, but the web version failed (at this point in time). I am curious why they are not using the same database. The iOS version also appears to ask less questions and get it right. Another thing I noticed is that it appears to follow trends. I mean, asking if the character is handicapped directly after I confirmed it was a high-schooler...
Update #1: It asked if my character had yellow skin... no, you racists.
Update #2: It asked three times if it came from a korean manhwa... I already said "yes" damn it!
Update #3: It is fairly easy to win (in my perspective). Just choose something very obscure, then choose a minor character. Because trust me, you are never the "only one" who knows about a certain series (for the most part).
Update #4: It appears not to care about the relevance of its questions. After I confirmed it was from Touhou, it proceeded to ask completely unrelated questions.
