-- Option 2: Public Figures Chat

There were some really good identies. The most easiest was probably Oprah and my own Jennifer Aniston, just because she said the weathiest woman and i said i recently got a divorce and i that i had friends. Bill Clinton and Jessica Simpson were very clever they made gestures that could be picked up on. Some hard ones were Vince, Chapelle, and Batman. Batman made a intellectual statement and I dont think any one was in that state of mind, so it made it hard to pick up on who he was. Chapelle was hard for me to pick up, but easy if you knew who was coming to the Erwin center on Nov. 13. I guess we should keep up with entertainment. I think that if you were able to put subtle gestures you were able to keep your identity down to a minimum with out giving it away, but if you stated plain facts about yourself you were revealed very quickly.

I think some of the identities were easier to guess than others simply by how subtle or obvious the roleplayer decided to be. For example, when I played my character, MLK Jr., I started right off with a quote from his famous 'I have a dream' speech', and then talked a lot about racial equality, so mine was farely easy to figure out. Other people wanted to do a more subtle approach, like Robin Williams and Batman, so they were tougher to guess the identities of. This was a fun experience, and I look forward to doing more activities similar to this.
