Round 1< Round 2< Round 3< Round 4< Round 5< Round 6< Round 7< Round 8< Round 9< Round 10< Round 11< Round 12< __ RULES - Quotes: 1. Only one person at a time may have an active quote. To be able to post a quote, one must either have guessed the previous quote correctly or else be taking advantage of a passed turn or expired time limit (see below). 2. Posted quotes must be very distinctive, and must clearly come from one particular title. (Do avoid ones that are major spoilers, however.) Quotes generic enough that they could come from any of a number of titles and/or which consist of common, everyday language should be avoided. Both single-line and multiple-line dialogue exchanges are acceptable, provided that they meet these conditions. Bad Example: "If you don't come back, I will never forgive you." Good Example: "Make a pilgrimage for the past with me." Good Multi-line Example: Character A: "What does the scouter say about his power level?!" Character B: "It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!" 3. As shown above, the entire quote must be bolded for a single line quote and the key line to be identified must be bolded in a dialogue exchange quote. Revealing character, power, or location names within a quote can be replaced with "[Character B]" or "[spoiler power name]" or something like that, as necessary. 3a. Quotes including profanity should be avoided. If profanity is unavoidably present then it must be censored. Quotes not following this rule may be removed and disallowed. (And lest anyone tries to be completely anal about this, we're talking about the big-ticket four-letter words, "bitch," and real-world racial epithets.) 4. Only quotes from anime titles (trailers and promo videos don't count) that have been in circulation for at least a week, and are available in official or fansubbed English translation, may be used. In the case of dub quotes from episodes streaming dubbed on delay, the "one week" rule applies to when the dub becomes available, not when the episode becomes available. Quotes may not be used from a title which was the source of one of the immediately previous four quotes. Specifying whether the quote is from subbed or dubbed material is required in cases where either one version isn't available or the two versions are substantively different. (Providing both versions in the latter case is encouraged but not required.) If the quote is from a fansub, that must also be specified, since wording between different fansubs can often vary greatly. 5. If the quote used is one that is repeated verbatim by more than one character in the same title then any of the speakers of the quote must be accepted as correct. (Optionally in this case, the quote poster may specify "first speaker" or "general context in which the quote is used" up front.) 6. Quotes remain active until they are guessed correctly, until 10 incorrect guesses have been attempted, or for 48 hours, whichever comes first. In the latter two cases an open turn takes effect and anyone else may post a new quote. _ Rules - Hints 7. Up to four hints may, at the quote poster's option, be provided. They should be staggered over the course of the 48 hours, with 8-10 hour intervals being recommended. (And while hints are not explicitly required, not providing them at all for a quote which is clearly difficult is considered unsportsmanlike.) 8. Hints must follow the format shown below. Their content should be a substantive clue to the source of the quote and/or the speaker(s) and thus should directly concern either the speaker(s), the source material, or the context of the scene. Hints which just state something that's obvious from the quote aren't proper hints. Also, saying that the source title is based on a visual novel or game or something of that nature is acceptable, but making comparisons between the anime and its alternate form isn't. (For instance, "Character A's behavior is very different in the anime than it is in the source manga" is a bad hint.) Example: Hint #1: spoiler[This is a proper way to give a hint.] Rules - Answers 9. Answers must be spoiler-tagged or they do not count as answers. 10. Answers must specify the speaker of the bolded quote, the source material, and the context of the scene. This could be a description of the scene, identification of who the speaker is speaking to or about, what episode it happens in, or other possibilities. The quote poster may be as loose or picky about the specifics as he/she wants; for instance, a quote poster may, at his/her option, accept a quote which gets some details wrong but is basically right. The quote poster may also allow a guesser who gives a partial answer to clarify before rejecting the answer, but that is also at the poster's discretion. However only a short amount of time (8 hours) should be allowed for this. Example: spoiler[Character A is Kirika and Character B is Mireille, from the scene in Noir at the end of episode 1 where they agree to work together as Noir.] 11. Each guesser gets only one official guess per quote, so make it count! 12. Once a guess has been confirmed as correct, the guesser may either pass his/her turn or post a new quote. Going more than 24 hours without posting a new quote is tantamount to forfeiting one's turn, in which case an open turn is declared. Lastly - and this is general advice rather than a rule - this game is not meant to be a test of Google-fu. Merely plugging the quote into a search engine, and basing an answer on that, is considered unsportsmanlike behavior. If you're obviously doing this on a regular basis then you may be asked not to participate anymore. Minigames Anyone may post a minigame picture while waiting for a winning guesser to post a new quote, but only one may be in play at any time. Here's how it works: the poster grabs a screenshot from an anime and the players must guess what is being said in the image. Though not required for a point, do also include the name of the speaker and what anime it is. These do count for points but do not have to be guessed, so be sure to catch them before they zip away! Scoring The scoring at the end of 100 pages will be one point per correct guess for a main game or minigame quote in official play. This game was created to be a more useful and interactive kind of quote dump and also to allow any random person an opportunity at playing, as the pic game is, by nature, going to be ruled by the most hardcore otaku. You could try to be all hardcore here...but no one will think your quote is memorable or cool. 
That being said, I hope that the difficulty will spike and dip as we play, with some more unusual quotes being mixed in with classics. All the same, they need be memorable. |

So I finally got this posted. Please do note the parts in red in the OP; one is an addition to handle the "streaming dubs" issue and one rewords a clarification on the "accepting guesses" standard.
I'm still going to be frightfully busy for the next 12 hours or so, so I am going to officially pass my turn so the game can get underway properly. Open Turn. Last edited by Key on Sun Apr 19, 2015 10:18 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I'll take the inaugural one this round, and in typical me fashion, it's going to be one of those weird 'makes more sense in context/you had to have been there' ones:
sub: character A: "A pie? Character B!" Character C: "Character B? Pie? What’s this pie thing?" Character D: "Pi is a mathematical constant representing the ratio of the circumference to the diameter. “Pai” is another word for a mahjong tile. It is also a pastry you make by forming a dough from flour and butter and filling it with fruit or meat and baking it in an oven. Or maybe you were talking about female breasts?" Character C: "Nerd Glasses… I mean, uh, Character D!" Character Di: "It’s Character D-san to you!" Character E: "Are you playing “wiretap” in my room?" Character C: "Ah… well… the wiretap approval bureau is presently in the permit approbation process…" Character E: "Spare me." Character C "Really?" Character E: "Character D?" Character D: "Yes?" Character E: "Punish her!" Character C: "No!" Last edited by Galap on Sun Apr 19, 2015 2:03 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Dunno the main game, but the mini-game is spoiler["I didn't know you were that bad."]

Hint 2: spoiler[The Pie is in the sense of the pasty. What has happened is that a pendant that's an ancient alien artifact that allows B to transform into his combat form has fallen into a pie in a cafeteria and thus was lost. Someone later finds it by biting into the pie.]

Correct Vaisaga!
I finished the show. Can't speak for anyone else though. I can totally see it being something peopl wouldn't like, and wouldn't blame them. I actually liked it, mostly because of how unique and just plain weird the plot was. |

Yes.
I was actually impressed by the first episode when it was airing. But the fansubs were too slow/bad that I never continued it. I also heard that the production was plagued with enough problems to fill three seasons of Shirobako. Fansub: Character A: What were you doing? Character B: I was doing some military-style training, when all of a sudden I found myself on the stairway to adulthood. Character A: What are you talking about? |
