"These individuals hide in the shadows. They're constantly inventing new enemies, ensuring war is always raging somewhere--the merchants of death, the military industrial complex."

Hmm, rather wild guess. Although I feel like I have heard it elsewhere as well.
spoiler[Gundam Seed Destiny. Speaker should be Gilbert Durandal. And context should be a worldwide broadcast, and proclamation of war against Blue Cosmos (more like annihilation).] Surely you're not yet another Justin Bailey, Sword Magess, BES, etc...? You enigmatic creature oh you.

Hah.
I'll leave this turn open. If someone wants to pick it up, you have about two hours before I find a new quote. Unless I crash. |

*Snags open turn*
A: Looks like the enemy is desperate, too. I wonder how much the people of this Earth have fought? B: If you look at the number of eyes, you should be able to tell. A: So they've fought a bit... In order to protect their own Earth. *Moment of silence (a few seconds)* A: They're different... This Earth and our Earth are different. |

Oh. Definitely know the anime. But god help me memory when it comes to context and speaker. They just had too many main characters.

Here be hints [for egoist to trigger his memory and others]:
Hint #1: spoiler[Character A is expecting a younger brother.] Hint #2: spoiler[Character B is similar to Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica's mascot, Kyubey, in the sense that they're both manipulative.] They be some mighty big hints. |

spoiler[Dung Beetle to Maki, Bokurano. Context is that this is the first time the children go to another Earth to fight, and so they realise the scale of the fight as well as just who their enemies have been.]

Yup, that is correct. That show seems... Rather unpopular. I don't know a lot of people that watch/talk about it.
EDIT: (5 P.M. EST) Just saw dtm42's post. So I guess the point goes to him, unless egoist adds in context, then I'll give the point to him. EDIT2: Point officially goes to dtm42, since he added in correct context. @TKoH, it's understandable, I would like the game to move on, but since dtm42 is on, I guess we can wait for dtm42's quote to pop up. I'll adopt that policy next time it happens. Last edited by EmbraceMe on Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:27 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Oh, that's a relief because I was about to search for a quote.
I don't care about the points, which is why I stopped doing monthly updates on the score.

This was brought up in the last thread by DerektheRed, but I'll bring it up again: This "Oh wait, dtm42's post was delayed...I guess he gets it" needs to stop. I don't mean to slight dtm42, but we can't backtrack points because of him because he's being moderated. And even though not everyone plays for points, I do, and I'd be pretty pissed if I lost a point because his post was delayed and came before mine. If it's seen he gets the point, but if someone else is declared right before it is, it shouldn't suddenly transfer to him. |

@The King of Harts,
1) Like you, the points mean something to me and, while I find it frustrating when I think I've won a point only to find tha I was pipped by a moderated post (don't forget it has happened to me twice), I think it's poor sportsmanship to claim the point when someone else clearly posted the correct answer before me. 2) In fairness to dtm42, the problem is the time it takes for the moderators to view and approve the post. I like to see the game moving quickly. When I provided the quote that led to the recent discussion, dtm42 had PM'd me the correct answer. I could have done two things: posted immediately I saw it (which I did) or wait until the forum post had been moderated. If people are going to pinch dtm42's point I am inclided in future, out of my sense of fairness, to do nothing until their forum post appears. This will, of course, slow down the game. My suggestion dtm42 sends via a PM a copy of his forum post to the person providing the quote. If correct, the quote provider notifies the thread that dtm42 has the correct answer. dtm42 gets the point but the next quote can be provided by anyone. |

The problem is that dtm42 broke forum rules to be moderated in the first place, but we're still molding the game around him despite that.
My suggestion: If his post is seen and it's right, he gets the point. But if a later post is approved before his post is seen, he doesn't get the point. He broke the board rules and we shouldn't make exceptions for him. What I really want: He shouldn't be allowed to play until he's off moderation. His posts being moderated, and thus postponed, is affecting the game in a negative way, so it'd be easier to just not allow him to play. I understand that's tough, but, well, he shouldn't have broken the rules. |
