Round 1< Round 2< Round 3< Round 4< Round 5< Round 6< __ RULES - Quotes: 1. Only one person at a time may have an active quote. To be able to post a quote, one must either have guessed the previous quote correctly or else be taking advantage of a passed turn or expired time limit (see below). 2. Posted quotes must be very distinctive, and must clearly come from one particular title. (Do avoid ones that are major spoilers, however.) Quotes generic enough that they could come from any of a number of titles and/or which consist of common, everyday language should be avoided. Both single-line and multiple-line dialogue exchanges are acceptable, provided that they meet these conditions. Bad Example: "If you don't come back, I will never forgive you." Good Example: "Make a pilgrimage for the past with me." Good Multi-line Example: Character A: "What does the scouter say about his power level?!" Character B: "It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!" 3. As shown above, the entire quote must be bolded for a single line quote and the key line to be identified must be bolded in a dialogue exchange quote. Revealing character, power, or location names within a quote can be replaced with "[Character B]" or "[spoiler power name]" or something like that, as necessary. Any profanity in the quote must conform to normal forum rules, so please avoid quotes that use it. 4. Only quotes from anime titles (trailers and promo videos don't count) that have been in circulation for at least a week, and are available in official or fansubbed English translation, may be used. Quotes may not be used from a title which was the source of one of the immediately previous four quotes. Specifying whether the quote is from subbed or dubbed material is required in cases where either one version isn't available or the two versions are substantively different. (Providing both versions in the latter case is encouraged but not required.) If the quote is from a fansub, that must also be specified, since wording between different fansubs can often vary greatly. 5. If the quote used is one that is repeated verbatim by more than one character in the same title then any of the speakers of the quote must be accepted as correct. (Optionally in this case, the quote poster may specify "first speaker" or "general context in which the quote is used" up front.) 6. Quotes remain active until they are guessed correctly, until 10 incorrect guesses have been attempted, or for 48 hours, whichever comes first. In the latter two cases an open turn takes effect and anyone else may post a new quote. _ Rules - Hints 7. Up to four hints may, at the quote poster's option, be provided. They should be staggered over the course of the 48 hours, with 8-10 hour intervals being recommended. (And while hints are not explicitly required, not providing them at all for a quote which is clearly difficult is considered unsportsmanlike.) 8. Hints must follow the format shown below. Their content should be a substantive clue to the source of the quote and/or the speaker(s) and thus should directly concern either the speaker(s), the source material, or the context of the scene. Hints which just state something that's obvious from the quote aren't proper hints. Also, saying that the source title is based on a visual novel or game or something of that nature is acceptable, but making comparisons between the anime and its alternate form aren't. (For instance, a hint that goes "Character A's behavior is very different in the anime than it is in the source manga" is a bad hint.) Example: Hint #1: spoiler[This is a proper way to give a hint.] Rules - Answers 9. Answers must be spoiler-tagged or they do not count as answers. 10. Answers must specify the speaker of the bolded quote, the source material, and the context of the scene. This could be a description of the scene, identification of who the speaker is speaking to or about, what episode it happens in, or other possibilities. The quote poster may be as loose or picky about the specifics as he/she wants (for instance, some quote posters will accept an answer which identifies the wrong season of a series as long as the series is right). Example: spoiler[Character A is Kirika and Character B is Mireille, from the scene in Noir at the end of episode 1 where they agree to work together as Noir.] 11. Each guesser gets only one guess per quote, so make it count! 12. Once a guess has been confirmed as correct, the guesser may either pass his/her turn or post a new quote. Going more than 24 hours without posting a new quote is tantamount to forfeiting one's turn, in which case an open turn is declared. Lastly - and this is general advice rather than a rule - this game is not meant to be a test of Google-fu. Merely plugging the quote into a search engine, and basing an answer on that, is considered unsportsmanlike behavior. If you're obviously doing this on a regular basis then you may be asked not to participate anymore. Minigames Anyone may post a minigame picture while waiting for a winning guesser to post a new quote, but only one may be in play at any time. Here's how it works: the poster grabs a screenshot from an anime and the players must guess what is being said in the image. Though not required for a point, do also include the name of the speaker and what anime it is. These do count for points but do not have to be guessed, so be sure to catch them before they zip away! Scoring The scoring at the end of 100 pages will be one point per correct guess for a main game or minigame quote in official play. This game was created to be a more useful and interactive kind of quote dump and also to allow any random person an opportunity at playing, as the pic game is, by nature, going to be ruled by the most hardcore otaku. You could try to be all hardcore here...but no one will think your quote is memorable or cool. 
That being said, I hope that the difficulty will spike and dip as we play, with some more unusual quotes being mixed in with classics. All the same, they need be memorable. |

Please do note the changes in red to Rule #4. Those really shouldn't be necessary, but they're there to head off any possibility of an issue that arose in the Character Guessing Game.
The King of Harts answered the last quote in the previous thread, so it's his turn if he wants it. |

BATTERS UP!
From the dub, but not really different from the subs: A: *snicker* I heard everything. I tapped into the electrical flow regulators in base operations, and it appears that just before it causes a black out it emits a short, sub-sonic radio wave and it sucks out all the energy from the wires. B: Does that mean we all have electricity in our butts? A: No, [Character B]. B: That's a shame. |

Actually it's significantly different in the sub.
spoiler[Anime is Strike Witches 2. Character A is Shirley, Character B is Yoshika. They're talking about the bug like Neuroi that kept draining the electricity around the base and flying up the girls' butts.] |

I might of been a little light in saying "not really", but it's definitely not significantly. I probably should've added the sub lines though because it is different enough, and so I apologize if anyone was thrown off. I'm off to a great start!
You're up, Vaisaga. |

Thanks for tallying up the scores errinundra!
Since Raftina/Boomerang Flash are the same person I believe, looks like I missed out on first place by a single point. So close. Still, second is an improvement for me compared to last round, and my score also jumped up a bunch, so I'm happy. A lot of that is because I got lucky and went on a really hot struck during the first quarter of the game, so I'm expecting my performance this round won't be as good, but we'll see. |

I don't think it's something that would throw people off since you do state it's from the dub. Still, the sub went something like "But why does it go after our butts?" "I have no idea." "I see..."
Wow, tied for second (or third I guess)? How did that happen? Next one, from the dub: "I'd never use one, but even I can appreciate the attraction of a gun. The heft. The sleekness. The cool steel. The precision. And the power. The power to change lives, history... The power of God." |

I am curious: Is "dub" even accurate for this source?
spoiler[I believe this is Batman explaining his view of guns in Batman: Gotham Knight.] |

Well, there is a Japanese track, though checking now it only has 'dubtitles.' I rarely check to see if the dub and the sub is similar enough. I just always specify it just to be sure (unless there's no dub of course).
Anyways you're right. Quick question, though, what's the point of you having multiple accounts? |

It's a personal eccentricity for not being able to keep to a single online identity--more or less the same reason I switch avatars erratically.
I was born while they were still in college. They were so young. They didn't believe in the antiquated institution of marriage, so naturally they didn't marry. That's why my last name is listed as X on the family register--my mother's last name. My parents love to flaunt social norms. They think their ideas are the only right ones. They moved here because they thought a serene peaceful village would be a nice change of pace--good for the soul and artistic inspiration. What a load of crap! |

That's actually spoiler[Natsuno from Shiki. I can't remember if he thought it to himself or spoke it to Toru or Megumi, but it was one of the reasons Megumi developed such a huge crush/obsession on him: because he, like her, hated the small village they lived in.]

Here we go, from a sub:
Character A: "Can you really save Character B? Can I really trust you?" Character C: "Well... You have no need to trust me in the slightest. Simply take advantage of me as you see fit. Because that is what I am doing to you." |
