Salieri's Sack-character Sunday Pt 1: Music and LiteratureSalieriAAX
A selection of historical sack-characters for you to take away and do with as you wish
Included in the level are 10 highly detailed historical sackfolk from the history of music and literature. Five of them are writers and five are composers.

1. William Shakespeare (Arrestor)
2. George Frideric Handel (unXpectiD)
3. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (RoxasSora358)
4. Jane Austen (Arrestor)
5. Charles Dickens (Arrestor)
6. Giuseppe Verdi (Arrestor)
7. Mark Twain (unXpectiD)
8. Edward Elgar (unXpectiD)

I can tell you that none of them is beethoven, but from now on I should add that all guesses have to be accompanied by a number, otherwise you could just name any famous people. So, if you guess a name that is in the list but associated with the wrong character, then sadly that's no points. Obviously I reserve the right to identify the intended personality portrayed, even if you don't think it looks much like them...

Arrestor: Good work, you've got four of them already: Shakespeare, Austen, Dickens and Verdi are all right. I'll tally up all the XP points at the end.		2010-10-24 12:56:00

I'm afraid Balgarino and ode are both icorrect on all counts. You would be forgiven for mistaking 2 for Bach, but 3 is definitely later. It's all in the length of the wigs, see?

EDIT: I was thinking of JS Bach with the comment regarding the wig - however number 3 is still later than CPE.		2010-10-24 17:45:00

2.Antonio Vivaldi?2010-10-24 18:05:00

Well, Vivaldi is a very good guess, and my particular choice has probably less of an international reputation. You might want to take my british bias into account with a couple of them...2010-10-24 18:12:00

Oh dear, perhaps they are a little bit tough. I would have thought the guy in the cream suit with the mad hair would have been easy since so many of you guys are from the US. Unfortunately Ignaz Moscheles, Madame Roland, Marie Antoinette and Charlie Chaplin (I think you meant Chaplin - right?) are all incorrect.

I'm also quite surprised that Arrestor managed to get Verdi without getting number 9...		2010-10-25 09:23:00

Then nr. 9 has to be Giacomo Puccini!2010-10-25 20:44:00

Yeah, unfortunately for some of us in the U.S. or other parts of the world (Not Europe) we're somewhat at a loss.2010-10-25 23:47:00

There is an American in the selection. Also, even though most of them may be from Europe, the majority have international reputations.

I can't be held responsibe for the fact that the U.S. doesn't offer an equivalent to Shakespeare or Verdi... However, if I get around to doing other rounds, like 'Politics and World Leaders' then the U.S. might get a better showing.		2010-10-25 23:55:00

4. Jane Austen (Arrestor)
6. Giuseppe Verdi (Arrestor)
9. Giacomo Puccini (Arrestor)

I know it's probably because I'm an idiot but I have never heard of these guys in any of my History classes. And I kinda doubt that these people have that much international influence.

About the politics characters, now that I won't need Wikipedia for. 		2010-10-26 00:03:00

Well, you probably won't have heard about them in History, but you might have in English or Music classes. You may not go to opera but you'll have heard Verdi's and Puccini's melodies thousands of times on the radio, in films, in adverts... As for Jane Austen, there have been numerous Oscar-winning movies of her books made in Hollywood, that's aside from her reputation as a classic novellist, that makes her pretty mainstream.		2010-10-26 00:15:00

Whoop whoop! I thoguht the thread had died.

10. YES!
3. I would like to say this is close but you're about 300 years out...
2. Very close... bang on period-wise. This guy is a contemporary of Bach, less famous, but he wore bigger wigs.

Also, it seems no 3 is proving far more difficult than it ought to be. It may be that the colour of the clothing is a bit of a red herring to stop it from beeing too easy.		2010-10-29 10:02:00

2.handel?
as for three i will assume he is from the early 17th centuary.
putting him as a figure from the transition into the classical period.
and seeing as he cannot be saileri he is probably christoph willibald gluck		2010-10-29 10:44:00

Hey S! I'm terrible with historical figures, but I thought I'd let you know that someone's used some of these characters in a level called "Forgotten Fields".2010-10-29 10:46:00

No. 2 is indeed G F Handel. Good stuff.

Unfortunately, your other guesses are incorrect so far, though your period is right for 8. And 3 is certainly a contemporary of Salieri...		2010-10-29 14:10:00

I'm afraid not. You're very close in terms of period though. As a bit of a hint, I can tell you that all of the Italian names in the list have been identified already.

I literally can't believe the American one hasn't been guessed yet...		2010-10-29 15:38:00

Hi EdwardTen,

You'll have to give numbers with your guesses for them to count. I'm sorry I forgot to include them in the actual level but the numbers I have used in this thread correspond to the characters in the level running left to right.

Sorry Roxas, not Greatorex. Apparently there's no visual record of what Greatorex looked like anyway.		2010-10-29 17:30:00
