The "DVD Mystère" discussion thread

I also have a new rule: ENOUGH RULEZ ALREADY! It's just a fucking game. Keep it lighthearted and fun, or else all people will do is bitch and moan whenever someone accidentilly posts a screenshot from a country the same as the one before, or when someone picks a hard screenshot...

It all went ok the first time, didnt it? Some minor differences, and mark even threatened to leave (!), but let's just play the damn game and relax a bit. Geez.

You guys sure are feminine sometimes: always arguiing...

Shen, can I ask you a question ?
Why would you put your DVD-Profiler collection in your sig if we can't access it ?

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 14 Apr 2006, 15:50

Needless and complicated

One rule I would like to suggest:

- If a screenshot cannot be guessed within 3 (or 2?) days, the one who posted the screenshot gets 1 point and has to post a screenshot of another film from another country.

:laughing3:

Sorry, LD, but I'd have to say no on that one. The game is supposed to be a fun diversion, and this rule would potentially reward somebody for being an ass and posting a ridiculously difficult screengrab on purpose.

Nope, nosiree! I don't like it.

Aye I thought about it and you're right. I was trying to think of ways to limit people picking ridiculously obscure screengrabs but ultimately, this is just a game. I'm going to assume that from now on, we'll all play nice.

But if I see someone posting around 10 screengrabs, causing the rest of us to google and guess blindly for a fortnight then I'm going to call them a moron. Ok it's not quite the same as deducting 3 points but it'll make me feel better.

LD I assume you're taking the piss but as mentioned, that's a crappy rule.

LD, you still don't get it, do ya ?

If people can't find your film, it means you've done a bad thing... BAD ! As in "not good". It means you have chosen a movie that's too difficult.
If anything, you should be penalized for it.

You're right, guys... and girls.

That's what I was trying to implement with this new rule but it adds complications to what should be a fun and simple game.

Although... I think we should add punishments for such extreme situations. But that's not my call (unless I can persuade the entire B&B board to agree).

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 15 Apr 2006, 01:16

No punishments. This ain't no S&M movie.

Let's just play fair and try to keep it simple.

The game will resume on monday.

Have to say I agree with Bobs... even though the idea crossed my own mind a while back.

That's why I feel there should be more in the way of time constraints (a new clue within every 12 hrs) and additionally a maximum of three picture clues per game (otherwise it could just go on and on...)

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 15 Apr 2006, 01:51

Blah, blah, blah... just start the new game already.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 15 Apr 2006, 02:06

Yes, exactly. Two days are over already. :mrgreen:

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 15 Apr 2006, 02:14

OK, OK... We'll start tomorrow.

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 15 Apr 2006, 02:14

Chomping at the bit to be #1, are we?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 15 Apr 2006, 02:38

Don't worry Bobbi, no one will ever steal your 14th spot.

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 15 Apr 2006, 03:14

Oh shut up. I just enjoy it for the fun. I'm not as competitive as you guys. :p

However . . .
I don't think my spot is so bad considering how late I joined the game, plus the fact that I'm at work, away from my personal PC for 12 hours of the day. 8)

Now THAT's a bad excuse, madam! I read what you wrote over at the other thread saying that you had internet access at work. But of course you would only use it for work... yeah, right!

That's utterly ridiculous.

If it's so hard no one should get it then post more clues. I had this problem and ended up pretty much giving the answer away.

LOL, if you haven't noticed yet, the second round has started a few days ago already.
