Time for a fresh new thread. Looks like the winner of the last round was quietly, though that was 6 days ago.

Quietly, please feel free to step up to the plate and carry on with a new round; otherwise, any other player may post a clip after another day or two, in order to keep the game going.

Also -- do any of the regular players remember where the game rules got off to? Somewhere along the line I neglected to copy them over into the first post of new threads. On the whole this is a pretty straightforward process (someone posts a clip, others make guesses, etc.), but I know that some players have expressed thoughts regarding the fairness (or lack thereof) of doing Google image searches and the like.

It is as you say, simple. Post a clip, offer clues, enlarge clip/add clues as time goes on.

And yes, it is generally considered Vary Bad Form to use google images. It wasn't in the original rules - as I don't think you could search by images way back then, but it is cheating, and is only SORT of allowed if someone posts in an "OK it's been 6 months, can I google for it or we will be here till Christmas" situation - and we all say "oh god yes for pity's sake DO it !!" It was sort of generally agreed that it was dirty pool about three threads ago, somewhere in the middle. Feel free to codify !

Also, in general you don't post a new clip until the previous person has confirmed that you were correct.

Someone had better PM quietly as she's never won before, I think - and as she isn't a subscriber, tell her about image hosting sites and so on... Can you put a link to THIS thread at the end of the old one, so people can find this one ?

Thanks for weighing in on the rules, gregory -- as one of the longest-playing members, your thoughts are very welcome!

You are right -- a link to this thread at the end of the old thread would be helpful. I just took care of that.

You are also right that quietly might need a nudge via PM. I just took care of that, too, though I confess I've not used any of the image hosting sites all that much. But they aren't that hard to get the hang of, as I understand it.

I PMed quietly when she guessed correctly but as yet she hasn't read it. How long do we wait?

How about another 24 hours? We want to continue encouraging new players, but we don't want the game to die off, either.

[quietly]

I'm so sorry about the wait! Please continue without me - my hard drive failed and I haven't had regular access to a computer since, so it's better that someone who can be more reliable take up the game!

[gregory]

OK I'll go then, as I haven't for a while. Full deck - and now I am out for several hours, so take your time.

Sorry to miss you, quietly - but I'm sure you'll be back

Universal Fantasy?

[gregory]

No but OK you can have a bit more

A bump to bring it up the list till all the regulars have found the new thread.
