I did!

rini 05: The Avengers?

Your other two look pretty familiar, but I have no confidence in my guesses on them.

As per the rules, you can only have three out at a time. The idea behind this rule is that no one can monopolize the game, and no one can post huge numbers of incredibly obscure movies and expect to collect tons of points for wrong answers.

We may want to amend the rules a bit on collecting points for unguessed screencaps, though. It seems like few people try guessing on the ones they don't know... I was expecting people to be throwing out guesses left and right, but apparently everyone is being more prudent than that. ;)

Perhaps we should make it so that you collect a point after a certain amount of time has elapsed since the last wrong guess? That way we can cycle through faster than having to wait for 10 wrong guesses.

I'm thinking this: if 48 hours elapse without a guess (not just having incorrect guesses, but no guesses at all), you may repost your screencap again (to remind people that it still hasn't been guessed). If 72 hours elapse without a guess, you would be able to claim your point.

Of course, if people were actively guessing (wrongly) on your screencap, then the 10-wrong-guesses thing would still apply. It would only be when people stopped guessing at all that you could claim the point by default.

Thoughts? Objections?

I was about to post that, actually. Your challenge made me look at the screencap again and I noticed the rather unique license plate. A quick search of that license plate turned up the name of the movie.

Nope!

Awww dang and I thought I had a clever one , that would be hard to guess; but as usual Greg Pwned.

+ 1 To Mr. Champion Greg for Amadeus

No point for "coming to America" that is not correct

I take it that means that my guess for 002 is wrong. :P

And come on... how would I not get Amadeus when you've used an image of the emperor? That's pretty unmistakable. :P

I thought he would be mistaken for George Washington or some other colonial man; but hmmmm it Was from Amadeus and you are Greg Hines Mr. Movie/ Music man; I guess I wasn’t being as clever as I thought I was.

Yeah; you guessed 002 wrong

Ah well. I figured it was the part after Arsenio Hall's character spends all that money, but I guess it's just been too long since I've seen that one.

Also, I've modified your (and a few others') tags for when the movie is guessed. Please be sure to include the title and the name of the person who guessed it. That will help with point counting, and to make it so people don't have to read through the full thread to find out the name of the movie.

I like it.  This accomodates the case of both nobody guessing and also a lot of guesses going by, and also keeps things moving.
I would also add that the repost must be clearly marked as such, and keep the same number.  e.g.

Repost since nobody's guessed in the past 2 days
Kaeru Kami 01:
<picture here>

And when a point is claimed on a picture (by someone guessing or the poster stumping us) both the original and the repost should be modified to show this.

Ah, then I will claim victory over you, as I recognized the car from when I saw the movie back in the theatre (my, that was a long time ago).  I did look up images from the movie to make sure I was right.

Yes, absolutely. The numbers should be retained across reposting.

Ah yes, good point!

Heh. Yeah, if I'd gotten the point, it would have been a hollow victory. I had no clue what the movie was at all. All I saw was a rocket car at what looks like the Bonneville salt flats, and that's hardly unique. ;)
