Anime Character Game

7. If you wish to submit a question, please also send it to me via private message. The message must include the character, the anime, and the three clues in the order of posting. You will be rewarded one points when your character is posted. But of course you may not participate in that round.

If I may make a suggestion to keep this thread from being in the danger zone of getting locked, you may want to consider keeping the font to black. Extensive use of colored font may result in a warning from the mods, and if be, a locking of the thread. I know that this is not a rule, but it has been stated as a courtesy. Will try to think hard when the next hint is due.

Yes, using colors or sizes for emphasis is fine, but there's really no sense in making entire posts in color, so we ask that users stick to standard colors and sizes. (In fact, they removed the buttons for color and size changes on purpose to discourage their use.) For that reason, I removed the darkred colorings.

I'm still not convinced it'll turn into chaos--I've seen similar trivia or "guess the" games on other forums, and they work if you establish the rule that only one question can go on at a time, and only the person who guesses right can post another question, and only after the original asker confirms that the guess is correct. Besides, wouldn't it get tiring to deal with scads of PMs if this game becomes popular?

These rules need to be ammended, or else the thread will die a quick and painless death instead of a long and dragged-out one.

In other words, any and all who participate should do so knowing that if you do win you will be the next in line to receive countless PM's and you'll have to read them in chronological order to be fair.

You see, I did include an option of accepting others' questions so that the questions are not only limited to me. The reason why I choose not to let people post their own character freely is because...if people are allowed to do so, it would then become a mess, with multiple questions going on simultaneously and hard to keep track...I tried this in another forum before...it's really a mess... the same reason for not allowing to post guesses here

One question per day is too slow? The reason why I do this is because so that it would be more exciting (to me at least) to guess a character, with all the different scores... Three clues at once would be easier to guess and maybe attract more people, but it is very likely that the questions run out very soon(it really will...)...not to mention that it wouldn't be fair then to give only the first one that answers correctly the points.

Well the only thing I thought about was the actual clues themselves. One per day is fine but giving some super uber general clue will probably lose entusiasm for a lot of people.
