[color=#9D0A0A] NEW PLAYERS: READ THE GAME RULES OR YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO PLAY, IS THAT CLEAR? ALSO DO NOT EDIT YOUR POST UNTIL 6 HOURS AFTER THE START OF A ROUND, READ RULE #5 FOR CLARIFICATION. [/color]
I've been in charge of this game for a long time now so I've decided to pass on the torch to the next generation of waifu game users. This will be my final time running the game and in the next 5 or so months I will start looking for my replacement. Hopefully it will be someone who is as dedicated to this game as I was(or at least as dedicated to trolling). Circe has the list this year and so spare rep you have should go to her(she's the one who does 90% of the work).
Let's start with a basic description of the game(this is a recap, those of you who know what the game is about know this is don't need to read):
Now let's get down to the basics. This is a game where you select 2d girls and boys from published material(video games, manga, anime, doujins, hentai, western comic books) to be your waifu/manfu. Once a girl is claimed no one else may claim her. There will be 5 rounds; the first three rounds will be fast and furious lasting only a week each while the last two will last 2 weeks each. Those of you have been part of 4 previous waifu games(this will be your 5th) may claim a 6th waifu during the 5th round(so you get two choices in the 5th round). If asked to provide proof of participation you must check all the old threads which are still on Fakku.
That's the basics of what the game is. Here are some very basic rules:
1.The new minimum amount of posts require to participate in this game will be 50 for all users. I don't want to see people spam their way to 50 or I will not permit you to play.
2.Characters must be from released material, you cant pick girls before their show airs/before the first chapter of a manga/before the game release/etc.
3.Users who have participated in at least 4 previous games and can provide proof of said participation will be able to select a 6th waifu during the 5th round. To clarify you will be able to pick 2 girls during the 6th round if you have participated in 4 out of the 8 previous games.
4.As of four games ago a new rule was added and I just want to remind everyone that you must post the full name of the character you wish to select and the show they are from, if you only place partial names you run the risk of have your girl stolen. Typos do not count against a player. Girls with only one name are fine if only claimed under said name. Known alias do count as a name but you should add the full name just in case(ex: Saber).
5.
This rule is important.You may NOT edit your post until 6 hours after each round; I will annul any posts which have been edited due to possible cheating. If you suspect someone of making ninja edit pm me and link the post and what you believe you saw in the post before the edit. I will have the admins look it up and I will ban that person for a round from this game. Edit's to claim are strictly forbidden.
6.You cannot pick an entire class, race, species or armor class(monster hunter).
7.Alter egos or "dark" versions do not apply as another character, nor do younger/older versions of a character. Unless the character can be recognized as separate from it's original clones are out. For example: Saber(Arturia) is different than Saber(Nero) but Sakura(Card Captor Sakura) and Sakura Li(Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE) are considered the same.
8.Girls must exist in published recognizable material and cannot be original creations(by you or anyone else).
9.You may divorce a waifu but after the divorce is announced you must wait 4 days from the time posted to claim another girl for that slot. The girl must also wait 48 (2 days) hours to be reclaimed, thus giving everyone an equal chance to get her.
10.Everyone has a divorce limit of 3.
11.You can rage all you want but it only makes it funny for the rest of us, If I notice people losing rep I will do my best to rectify the situation because that's a bullshit move.
12.I will
NOT accept acronyms for source material, so saying TTGL instead of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann won't cut it.
To search the waifu list to see if your girl is taken open the list and hit ctrl+f, it will open a search bar in your bottom left corner. Simply search for the girls name to see if shes taken. The list will be in another thread in the chat section and the author will be Crice.
What is required to claim: name of the girl, what show she is from
What I would like to see: why you love her and a picture of her in all her glory.
You can't have backup picks in the first round in the same post.
please spoiler any images you add.
Please everyone, if your waifu doesn't appear on the list and you do qualify for the game please pm
Crice, this will be a lot more simple if we have one person editing the list.

For my first waifu I have decided to select Hitagi "Tsundere-chan" Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari.
Loved the show, she was an amazing love interest and I really hope to see her more in future gatari projects.
Lets start and end this.
