No, more like, you have to intercede in people's arguments over whether X quote is allowable or not, and you also have to tally up all the scores. Who'd want that thankless job, ha hah.


I dunno...there WAS that explosion at the Geek Squad building a little while back. Don't underestimate JO.

Shocked

Sorry for the wait. Next up is from the subs:

A: What's this for?
B: Punishment for being late. The clock tower in your home. Go repair that yourself.

That's it. Didn't think it would be in play too long. You're up.

Yeah, if you guys would still like to play this game, someone else should take up the proctor responsibilities. I'm a bit too busy to host and I'm REALLY bad about actually checking this thread...ever. Embarassed

So, yeah! Anyone want it? Anime smile + sweatdrop

I don't mind, since I have plenty of free time. Though I'm sure everyone would want you to stay as the game's supervisor, and that includes me. But if you really can't keep it up, this is what I can offer:
Updated score list by the end of the month.
I could try and record all the quotes used, but I can't guarantee that I'll be organizing them.
I won't interfere with the game unless it's really required. Besides there are plenty of Mods wandering about (Abunai & Key), so I doubt I'll have to step in many times.
Power abuse isn't my thing(I don't really consider this power, actually).
Rules won't be modified, I'll be carrying it over to the next thread. I won't propose any new rule, that's up to the players.

Well, that's 1 candidate.

Regardless of who takes over for JesuOtaku as administrator of this game, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank her for her efforts, and to say how pleased I am with the way the thread has gone. It's no secret that I initially thought that the concept was unworkable (and, indeed, some of the problems I predicted did occur), but JO's stalwart efforts have managed to turn it into a very successful thread, and a thoroughly enjoyable game.

Contrary to public opinion, I like to be proven wrong -- when it's this way.

Thank you, JesuOtaku.

I trust you, egoist, and I trust your free time. Very Happy

But yeah, you can take over the game for the next thread, which you can start anytime. Originally, I think I said 100 pages, but yeah, I lost control of monitoring this one around the 40s, so... Anime dazed Take your time. Handle things however you'd like.

Yes. If you'd like to take on this great beast, such as it is, I am more than happy to pass the torch. Have fun! I may still pop in from time to time, but BOY am I in no position to run it, heh.

Aw, thanks. I'm glad people have been enjoying the game and I was happy to offer something to the forums I frequent so much. Anime smile

...the simple fact is that I just wasn't any good at the picture game and wanted something else to play. Laughing

Hint #3: spoiler[Another long TV series that started not long after this TV series ended is sometimes described as this TV series on crack, most likely because the male and female leads of that series look somewhat like younger versions of the leads of this series, and the female lead of that series talks very fast.]

And repeating what abunai said, thank you JesuOtaku. I haven't been around for long enough, but I surely had my share of fun while playing the Quote Guessing game.

The new thread has been created, but that doesn't mean this one has to be locked, since I'm sure there are many people who would like to thank JesuOtaku.

That point should have been mine. You're just a big meanie, you know that? I mean, how can I call myself ANN's biggest Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 fan when I let a quote from the series go to someone else?
