Congrats to everyone. Being there is what counts!
As I have mentioned before, the Character Database disappeared on the mobile IMDb app almost two weeks ago. It has made doing the games hard, but not impossible, but Matt would find it nearly impossible to create the Games. I am hoping that our fun isn't ruined, but I sure can understand if we have to go into hiatus.
But Matt, you are a very smart guy and I am sure you can come up with something.

Aaaahhh Linda -- I wish I had the confidence in me that you have in me. But before the Sword of Damocles descends upon us all in five days, the QM will try to slip in a couple of more quizzes -- maybe one as early as tomorrow.

Matt - All that is left for me when clicking on a character's name is getting quotes for that specific film. I am hoping that revising the characters doesn't affect the quotes too.

Linda, Are you saying that (with your mobile IMDb app) when you clicked on Katherine Hepburn yesterday and had a list of her movies, her character name (in each of those movies) was not listed under the given movies? We may be talking about 2 different things: 1) what you can see on your mobile IMDb app, and 2) what will happen to the character base for the IMDb, in general, for everyone after December 6th. Matt, You may want to save your quotes GGs until after December 6th, if all character reference are whipped out after then-- leaving only quotes. I like the category GGs, but won't you always be able to do some matching GGs even after December 6th? We might have to see what happens after Dec 6th to really know what they have changed.

The numbers don't lie. Thank you, Matt, for this sobering report. I think I'll go unsober myself. Oh, and I'll order a pizza! I feel better already. Thank you also, Matt, for this staggeringly prolific month of Garth Games. I'm nominating you for the Nobel Prize in...umm...something. Congrats to co-champions Linda and Spider! Happy December to all!

Kijii - the Character names are listed, but links to others playing that character or person in another film is no longer there Those shown to be links, link only to Character quotes for that film. So if I clicked on Mary, Queen of Scots, it would not link to Vanessa Redgrave playing the same character in another film or TV show. This has been an important element in many Garth Games, such as finding two actors, one in a feature film and one in TV playing the same real person. I am pretty good at the movies, but many of th TV programs aired before I was born, and I pretty old.
And I not very good at quote games as my IPad is not very good at cutting and pasting. It also takes too much reading going through long passages to find the quote. I have to read my screen with a magnifying glass, and I only have one hand that sort of works, so that doesn't mean I won't play, I'm just going to be a little slow. But participation is the most important thing, but who doesn't want to win?
