Thank you errinundra for going through the trouble of tallying the points.

Hells bells. Greedy much, Vaisaga?

And Night Fox, bravo. Your cunning methodology has allowed you to leapfrog me.

Well, at least I got a respectable fourth despite having a truly awful few months.

Hmm...wow, I really suck at this game! Can we make the next round a bit easier please? Seriously, why is eighty percent of the quotes from the most obscure anime in history...?

Hey, if you don't have anything in "My Anime" how can we make sure you can guess the quote? You've only got yourself to blame, y'know. Wink

@dtm42 - You're welcome.

I always considered this game to be so ludicrously difficult that I never really payed much attention to it. Now, however, I have finally managed to leave my mark in this game and I feel proud for it.

He'll try to win here, but he'll win in the character guessing game by mistake.

Thanks, Errinundra, for taking your time to do a second list. However my first formula was so crude that had someone with only 10 seen-all titles managed to score a single point, he'd be promoted to 50 points using the old formula. So I deviced a new, more balanced formula, and updated the list. With this new formula, the previous example will result in 2 points, rather than 50. Laughing

The Night fox Order of Merit - Revised Edition
Score = (in-game points * 1000) / (# of seen-all titles + 500)
If seen-all is not specified, a default value of 500 is used.

Code:

 1. Raftina = 38.7
 2. Vaisaga = 27.7
 3. rosebrook11 = 25.4
 4. getchman = 23.9
 5. CrowLia = 21
 5. Key = 21
 7. dtm42 = 19.2
 8. Yttrbio = 12
 9. Hikari14 = 9
10. Night fox = 8.8
11. mierin = 8
12. errinundra = 6.6
13. 12skippy21 = 6.3
14. Phibby = 5
15. murph76 = 4.2
16. Galap = 4
17. Tuor_of_Gondolin = 3.8
18. Ghost_Wheel = 3
18. 鏡 = 3
20. EmbraceMe = 2.5
21. Cam0 = 2.3
22. farichada = 2
23. Beltane70 = 1.9
24. Touma = 1.7
25. rheiders = 1.5
26. DerekTheRed = 1.1
27. Akaname = 1
27. Chiibi = 1
27. Darkmagick = 1
27. Masara = 1
27. Neo Paradigm = 1
27. Sentire = 1
27. shukuju = 1

What happens if Key does not post the topic within 24 hours? I think he remains the referee until there's strong evidence of abandonment, meaning no one else can post a new topic. Correct?

I'm the same as Cam0, I always find this game extremely difficult and prior to this round I never made more than 1 or 2 points per round, so the leap to 20 is like... man, that's pretty cool.

Well, I'm sure someone can post a new thread and just copy-paste the rules from this thread into the new one. If Key wants to make changes to the rules he can always do so using his moderator powers, so really, it doesn't matter who has the first post.

However, I do think we should wait a little longer for him to come back before posting the new thread ourselves. A few more hours waiting won't hurt.

How about another mini-game?



I think I've shown it's a good idea to make a serious attempt at guessing these.
