hey,

some semi-good guesses but still wrong. Big ass clue later on tonight.

lame clue then, now it should be easy:

It was Made In Hong Kong but not during The Longest Summer.

hey,

all it took was a little filmography checking I see. Yi-Long wins!

Finally

Ok, I'll post something in about an hour...

Clue was TOO easy Ken. You should've posted a second image instead. If no one gets it after three then you can do a giveaway. You probably didn't know that.

hey,

blindly following the rules I guess...

The One. WAY too easy.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 23 Mar 2006, 00:59

Goddamn! How the hell was that easy? How many times have you watched that piece of junk??? I think I've maybe seen it twice, but I can hardly remember anything from it ...

Well done Tom. Didnt think anyone here would have been foolish enough to have watched thise more then once or twice... but of it would have been anyone, I could have guessed it would be you

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 23 Mar 2006, 01:07

Yeah, well...

(Asian / Can't tell the country because it would make it too easy).

Ken...

Tom's rule: "**If the gamekeeper notices that the players can't find the movie, he should post a clue or a new screenshot (approx. 24h after posting the first shot)."

What I do is post three screen shots before a giveaway. Sometimes I wait less than 24hrs if players are struggling to guess. Only time I give extra clues before the the end of the third image time is if someone has guessed extremely close (like they say Friday the 13th and it's actually Part 6... I'll ask them to be more specific). This is just to make the game more interesting. Tom's rule maybe didn't make that clear.

@Mark:
The rule isn't unclear.
I said exactly what I wanted to say:
"he should post a clue or a new screenshot (approx. 24h after posting the first shot)."

I made it so the gamekeeper wouldn't need to grab his DVD and make yet another screenshot.
That's why I allow them to choose between a shot and a written clue.

You want to make the game more interesting, and I can respect that.

My job is to make the game easier (to get more people to come and play).

Then do what I do and post an image saved from the net... I just find verbal clues boring and in Ken's case (sorry) ridiculously easy. I figured that being a newcomer to the game he maybe wasn't aware that he could post another two images. It kinda spoils things if it's too easy too quickly. It's your game but I would personally outlaw written clues of that sort.

I think all the people playing know enough about movies to have a chance. If we alternate between countries everyone will find something they know.

Yeah, so would I, but I'd feel bad about the poor guy who only has one shot and "can't get / is too lazy to make" another one.

Of course, if most players want to outlaw written clues then I'll do it.

The Myth

Nope.

EDIT:

A-1 Headline.

Still nope.

I don't. If they aren't up to the challenge... don't play. In a short time Ken has excelled in his guesswork so we know he's well up for it.

As for giving the country... THAT I think is a good idea as it does save guessers going in the wrong direction without being too obvious. But since you've not posted it I'll ask... is your cap a HK movie? If it's Korean or Japanese LMK and I'll refrain from play for now. 8)

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 23 Mar 2006, 01:36

No HK. No Korean.

Don't force me to say the country. If I did, you'd guess it in a micro-second.

EDIT:
Aww whatever.
China.
