Shen: No

Kurgan: Yes

Grim: No

I'll post a third cap tommorow.
Don't want to put up three in one day.

But in the meantime keep guessing... I'll pop back.

Looks like Lau Shun.
But I've never seen him in a Taiwanese film...

Ultimate Vampire ?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Apr 2007, 01:39

Not sure who it is actually but it's not Lau Shun and the guess is incorrect.

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 11 Apr 2007, 02:34

Shaolin Legend (aka Abbot White)?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Apr 2007, 03:41

Nope.

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 11 Apr 2007, 06:03

hey,

Amazing Stories?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Apr 2007, 11:30

Nope.

Final visual clue:

Textual clue:

It's not quite as obscure as you might think...

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 11 Apr 2007, 12:58

Midnight Conjure?

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 11 Apr 2007, 14:20

hey,

who's seen Midnight Conjure except me?

Still obscure but my vagues guess is Fist From Shaolin?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Apr 2007, 15:43

Nope to both.

Will give one last textual clue after the next set of guesses and if nobody gets it I guess I win the round?

Batman Returns?

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 11 Apr 2007, 18:36

What are the rules regarding a round where no one can guess the film?

I mean, if you score points by ensuring no one can guess the film then surely we're all screwed, everyone will go for the "easy" points?

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 11 Apr 2007, 18:45

hey,

did Mark just make up his own rule?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 11 Apr 2007, 19:04

Yes he did.

If no-one can find the movie, it means he screwed up by choosing a movie that was too difficult.
A long time ago, we all decided that no penalty was required for this sort of mistake.

The gamekeeper must post caps from another movie. He of course gets no points.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Apr 2007, 20:20

I'm not complaining.... heaven forbid.... but it always seems to be my fault.

My fault when I can't guess caps and my fault when others can't guess mine.

Seems unfair. I'm not looking for extra points but I shouldn't be punished for it.

I think the gamekeeper should take over the next round.

The correct answer is THE FLYING DAGGER.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 11 Apr 2007, 20:41

THE FLYING DAGGER.

Damn. I thought about that one but was 100% sure it was an HK film.

I'm not complaining.... heaven forbid...

Good.

My fault when I can't guess caps

If a player can't find the movie, then:
-50% is the player's fault for not being good enough.
-50% is the gamekeeper's fault for choosing a movie that's too obsure, or a cap that's not good enough.

In this precise case, it's the caps that were a bit too difficult IMO.
It has to become easier with each new clue.
I would have found Flying Dagger with better caps.

gamekeeper should take over the next round.

Right. I'm on it.

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 11 Apr 2007, 20:44

hey,

Damn. I thought about that one but was 100% sure it was an HK film.

Chu Yen Ping crap so defo Taiwan, despite the cast. Gotta love Chu sometimes...often not.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Apr 2007, 20:47

I thought my choice of caps wasn't bad.

Should the third cap be a giveaway then?

Like showing a lead actor's face?

It's not specifically covered in the rules so you'll forgive my ignorance.

* Land of Mickey Mouse and McDonald's *

@Mark:
It's a game.

You post, somebody else guesses.
Somebody wins, and posts a cap.
and so on, and so on...

Make each clue easier to let the game flow.
That's how it should be IMO.

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 11 Apr 2007, 20:52

hey,

Around The World in 80 Days?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Apr 2007, 20:54

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 11 Apr 2007, 20:56

@Ken:
That was quick.

Damn, I thought it was that when I just saw it!

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 11 Apr 2007, 21:11

hey,

I was referring to the Jackie Chan version though, forgot to specify and you never know...

I'll hold posting a cap until Tom has confirmed.
