And that's the round. Calathan's image and Vaisaga's guess are still i play, and I will transfer them when I get the new round posted. Scores will be up in a bit.

This round's scores:



And we do have an upset: Vaisaga has come very close to the top spot in a few rounds, and finally achieved victory. Smile

Per Rule 10A, passed turns are off limits to getchman, WhiteHairGirls, Calathan and Vaisaga in the Q4 round.

However, per this suggestion, I'm proposing a time limit for this rule. My thought: If no one has grabbed an open turn after 12 hours, that turn is open to anyone. Other thoughts?

Also, how can Rule 2G be modified to avoid situations like the one that cropped up here? I believe the rule is necessary, but perhaps it needs to be clarified. I'm open to your suggestions.

Dammit, I didn't get anything this round. Oh well. I have plenty of more anime stuff to go through before I can truly master this game.

All hail your new God! Bwahahaha!

Though I'm sure Calathan was just on vacation this round or something. I'll probably get destroyed in the next one Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop

12 hours sounds like a reasonable time to me.

You're not alone, Akane! This is the first round since I started playing that I didn't get a single correct guess. All of the characters that I did recognize were already correctly guessed by the time I got to see them. Sad

I like this idea. 12 hours should be enough time to give others a chance. Although out of the 4, I think Vaisaga was really the only taking free turns in the past.

That one round where I was only 3 points away from first place was because Calathan had like a week or longer vacation. If it weren't for that I would have lost by more lol.

Are you sure you counted those right? I feel like I did worse than last round. If it's true then hooray I broke double digits. Gratz to Vaisaga. Hasn't Vaisaga beaten the Grand Master Calathan before though? I checked. No one has for the past few years atleast.

Edit: I counted my own score and I did indeed score 11, I think. Bwahaha!

Congratulations to Vaisaga. I wasn't on vacation for any significant amount of time . . . you were just doing really well at guessing this round. I think I need to start watching more recent anime in order to remain competitive . . . the percentage of shows that I've seen among what is used in the game keeps going down.

Also, I think 12 hours is a good limit for the open turn rule. I never take open turns though anyway.
