The sheer size of the thread makes it daunting for any new players as well.

This was a pretty good argument to start a new thread. Just keep a link to each past round on every first post so that anyone interested can reach them easily. It would be nice to keep this scoreboard. Having two would be confusing.

I agree, a new thread would probably be best.

And I am sad to have missed Miwako, it's been awhile since there was a character who I recognized immediately used (or at all, for that matter Razz).

I vote for starting a new thread every three months, starting with today's posts (moderator→split). That way people who don't frequent this thread will know too that 'hey, new round, new prizes, new chances'. Except for the prizes of course.

I agree with the reasons for needed a new thread instead of simply a second round in this one, but along with a mod-split, Jetz should copy and re-post the first post again in the new thread, with the rules.

edit:typo

I will start a new thread as soon as I get permission from abunai (or other mods who see this Wink ). I just want to make sure that it's okay first.

Wild guess: it's spoiler[Shimada Kambei, from Samurai 7].


Nope.

First clue (sorry guys, I just got up ^_^;;): spoiler[This guy has two kids who look almost exactly like him and who get far more screentime than he does.]

Couldn't we just ask a mod to split off the new round posts into a new thread? They can do that, right?

spoiler[Yoh's dad from Shaman King.] Is that good enough, or do I need a proper name?

Edit: Wiki'ed for precise given name: spoiler[Mikihisa Asakura]

I'll accept it. I think he's only actually adressed as 'Mikihisa' like, twice in the whole anime anyway.

Your turn!

Woohoo!

Because that seemed like an easy one to me, I'll go with an easy picture two. And, as it's been said before, this thread needs more fanservice.

So, if we create a new thread, do all the characters used get reset? It seems like it would make it harder to keep track of who's been used before for newcomers.

There was never any rule for any player to check whether a character has been used. The only disadvantage for using an already used character is that it would be easier to recognize for old players, but this is impossible to eliminate regardless of whether the record was officially reset.

We've had duplicates anyway. Yuko Okonogi from Denno Coil, Haruhi from OHSHC, Maiko Kaji from Hataraki Man, Anita King from R.O.D., Chocolate Muillere from Sugar Sugar Rune, Misuzu Itsukushima from Aquarian Age Sage, The Black Swordsman from Comedy, Higuchi Kimiko from Gunbuster, Kekko Kamen from Takahashi Mayumi, Sayaka Yumi from Mazinger Z, Jane Buxton from Patapata Hikousen no Bouken, Ihrie from Ruin Explorers, Jin from Seirei no Moribito, Gabriel from Star Ocean Ex (The first post was yours Boomerangflash, so you guessed it the second time around), Madoka Mido from Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko, Shuranosuke Sakaki from Sword for Truth and Minamo Aoi from Real Drive were all duplicated. Haruhi was done 3 times if you go back to when the minigames could be characters. All told 17 characters, or a little over 2% of the pictures, were duplicates.
