Yeah, like I said, I've never done this sort of thing before, so I didn't expect it to do well it's very first time.KingdomBlade said:This thread is a mess. When I saw from the forum that this had 16 pages, I was pleasantly surprised since I thought the game had been progressing very quickly. Then I saw the thread itself.
First, numerous people complain when someone doesn't post scores/games quickly enough. Please be sensitive to time zone differences. Thread starter, you should set a specific amount of time for the next game poster, perhaps 6 to 12 hours. As for the score poster, perhaps we can bypass this by adding a simple SHA1 hash system since the game progresses to quickly to use the PM the previous poster rule. That way, people will stop complaining, much like the two posts above me.
Then, keep the guessed games next to the score box. That way, when you're not around the next poster will update the games. Also, try to organize the scores in order, that way it looks neater. If possible, add links to the games that are guessed in the box, perhaps just the wiki article.

Check your posts before making them. That's what the preview function is for.
In it's current state, it's not that good, but with some organization and a few improvements, it'll be good.
EDIT: Fixed up the scoreboard.

[P= ]One person posts a screenshot of a game that fits the respective genre (no explicit images), making sure it isn't impossible to guess (ie include either a lead character or make it a renowned/significant scene) or too easy. When a successful guess has been made and confirmed to be correct by the poster of the image, the person who guessed successfully posts the next screenshot. So, if you're going to make a guess and following that post a snapshot please ensure that you check back every so often to see if someone named your game correctly or to check if your guess was correct so that the game isn't held up too long. Try not to repeat games, especially the same scene...

[u][b]Rules[/b][/u]
[*]Remember to keep the scores updated.
[*]Only post games from the respective genre
[*]Remember to update the previous movies posted list.
[*]Posting an answer and then saying "Skip me" will result in no points, and a toss-up movie either by the judge, or by the previous poster.
[*]No hotlinking to images, try to upload them to either [url="pix.gbatemp.net"]GBAtemp's picture service[/url] or somewhere like tinypic/photobucket. Make sure the name of the movie is not contained in the url.
[*]Don't "hit and run". If you're going to guess at a movie, make sure you can stick around long enough to see if your guess was correct and post the next film. If you take too long posting the next movie (24 hours or judge's discretion), you will lose the point.
[*]The winner of a round is the judge for the next round.

SoulSnatcher said:As for the SHA1 hash system, KingdomBlade suggested,
Find the game from the image you posted in the Internet Games Database.
After that, get a link for the respective game from the Internet Games Database (e.g, Super Mario Galaxy 2) and enter the link into the MD5 Hash Generator. After you get a MD5 hash, post that under the image.[/p]To verify whether a guess is correct, one would have to look up the game (in this case, Super Mario Galaxy 2) in the Internet Games Database and then input the link here. If the SHA1 hash shown is the same as the one under the image, then your guess is correct. This helps the game go on in case the person who posted the image isn't here to confirm whether the guess is correct.[/p]
MD5 Hash: e6e3f3c3b8a4159250f97dbf0fe28d3d
Feel free to post this on the front page. Also, does anybody have any other suggestions for a site to use instead of the Internet Games Database.
@Tanveer: Any suggestions for the next 'Name That Game' genre?
It is an edited version of the rules in the 'Name That Movie' thread.Wizzerzak said:I think finish the xbox one first, then start a new round. And can't you just copy the rules from Name the movie but change them slightly to fit with games instead of films.SoulSnatcher said:~snip As for changing the format, use the below.

No point in waiting. Also, the Xbox 360 thread should be moved into the Xbox section.Wizzerzak said:
