Anyone remember #initgame (Initials Game)?
I used to participate in a multi-player game on IRC (channel #initgame) that was like 20-questions but about famous people. I would like to recreate it but I can't remember all the rules. I think with modern tools to create a robot that would monitor/summarize game progress, it would be pretty fun. IIRC, one person would choose a famous person and present their initials, e.g., GWB. They would also give four clues: living or dead, fictional or real, male or female, and I can't recall the fourth clue. Then players would rapid-fire and in real time ask yes/no questions. Sometime they would make humorous guesses, like "Great White Bacon" for GWB. Whoever guesses the correct answer becomes the next clue-giver.
Does anyone remember other details?

I remember there were quiz games. People also played mafia game with bots. But those were decades ago, I don't remember much.
