Round 1< Round 2< Round 3< Round 4< Round 5< Round 6< Round 7< Round 8< Round 9< Round 10< Round 11< Round 12< Round 13< Round 14< __ RULES - Quotes: 1. Only one person at a time may have an active quote. In an open turn (see below) the first quote posted is active. Otherwise only the person who correctly guessed the previous quote may post one. 2. An open turn is in effect if a quote goes unguessed for 48 hours or the person correctly guessing the previous quote either says he/she is passing or does not post a new quote within 24 hours. 3. Posted quotes must be distinctive to a particular title or franchise, should not contain major spoilers or profanity (if the latter is unavoidable, it should be censored), and cannot be from a title used in one of the previous four quotes. Both single-line and multiple-line dialogue exchanges are acceptable. Bad Example: "If you don't come back, I will never forgive you." (Way too many possible sources.) Good Single-Line 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!" 4. 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. 5. Quotes must be given in English and must be from released fansubs, official subs, or official dubs that have been available for a week or more. Specifying whether the quote is from fansubbed, subbed, or dubbed material is required. 6. 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.) _ 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 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 about one or more of 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 isn't. (For instance, "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. The latter 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, accepting an answer which gets some details wrong but is basically right is fine. The quote poster may also allow a guesser who gives a partial answer to clarify before rejecting the answer, but that is also at the poster's discretion. However, there is an 8 hour limit on this. Good 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 official guess per quote, so make it count! 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. The point of these is to guess what the character(s) in the posted picture are saying at that point. These do count for points but do not have to be guessed before the next main-game picture is posted, 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. Finally, should any problems arise, errinundra is the final arbiter of any scoring issues and Key is the final arbiter of any other issues. 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 to be memorable. |

No new rules this time, though I did clean up and reorganize quite a bit. (There were a lot of redundancies and inefficient organization.) The only change is that I dropped the "10 incorrect guesses triggers an open turn" rule since we haven't even come close to tripping it in several years.
Per accepted standard, CrowLia, getchman, Raftina, and rosebrook11 (by virtue of being the top four scorer from last round) are not allowed to pick up open turns until it's been open for 24 hours. getchman has the active option on the next quote, with the clock starting from the time of this post. |

next quote, dub
Character A: She is not to be trusted. If you let that woman stay here, you'll be putting your son's virtue in jeopardy. Character B: Oh believe me, I know A sexy space girl from another planet moving in and suddenly making things all hot and heavy? This is exactly what I fantasized about. It wouldn't bother me one bit if she forces herself on Character X, and actually I'll be upset if she doesn't A: And you have the nerve to call yourself his mother?! B: Yes I do, and I'm proud of it. I'm his mother and the only thing I've ever wanted for my baby boy is for him to have a girlfriend. I hoped that it might be you, but I guess the sweet little girl he's known since childhood never found the courage to make a move. A: Wait, what? What are you talking about? B: But this Character Y, I can tell she's the one when I look into those eyes, the eyes of an unprincipled girl who's out for my son's virginity no matter what. |

And so my reign of terror begins.
Sub: Character A: You're a robot! Can't you do something? Character B: Like what? Character A: Like shoot beams from your eyes or mouth or nose or something! Character B: ... What kind of robot do you think I am? |

It does sound familiar, but it could just be cause it's something Han Solo might've said to C3PO in one of the Star Wars movies. *shrug*

So, that's where I remember it from. We once pretended to be SD characters in a SD themed mafia game. I was spoiler[QT]. Fun times

I definitely think I should know this one, too, and suspect that it won't take much for hints for me to place it.
