No idea why no one has made this before
The rules, to keep it simple, are to provide a distinct, non-generic quote when it's your turn, provide hints once daily if there is no correct guess, and to list the speaker, the manga, and the context or the addressee when guessing.
One of the reasons nobody has made this before is that:
1) Quiz threads should always be vetted by moderators for approval, before launching them. All the other three game threads have been started with specific approval. This applies to tournaments, polls, et cetera, as well.
2) Any forum game thread needs to start with a post stating the rules clearly and concisely. These rules should take into account all issues that might reasonably occur.
3) Having too many forum games produces clutter.
Bearing those points in mind, I really ought to lock this thread... but I'll be a sweetheart and give you a chance to fix your first post to comply with 2) (check the other threads to see all the points you missed), and give you a temporary and provisional pass on 1). This is contingent on the tread developing well. If it doesn't, it goes bye-bye.
