The type of pony everypony should know · 4:35am Nov 10th, 2013
Ever tried Akinator, the character-guessing 20-questions genie-thing? No? Go do it, it's worth at least a few minutes of harmless entertainment.
Of course, it doesn't always guess right... but it's usually pretty good. Even with some pretty obscure characters.
Exhibit A:
That's right. Everyone's favorite world-weary commander pony is just barely mainstream enough to be guessed after 40-ish questions (including at least one continue). Movin' up in the world!
(Special thanks to Ganelon for discovering this, and inflating my ego just a little bit more.)
Interesting, just been trying it to see if I can find some popular Pony OCs, still haven't gotten to Lucky Break yet. Though I'm amused one question so blatantly asked if the character's from MLP.
COTTON CAKE ON THE OTHER HAND DOESN'T LIKE TO SHOW UP, EVEN WHEN YOU ADD HER TO THE DATABASE YOURSELF!
Not even close to the best of these I've seen. (Tried it four times, the only success took it a continue and 40 questions.)
I found it to both repeat questions and ask ones it should have already known the answer to, (e.g. "Was your character on TV?" "No" then later asking a question based on being on a TV show).
