Would you also list the missions that were guessed by everyone? Or, even better, tell for each mission how many participants guessed it (absolute number, or percentage, doesn't matter)?

The competition has ended! The winner is DirkBogan with 15 out of 15 correct missions. :eek: He is thus crowned the new Master Taffer! He will also get to choose a mission for me to Supreme Ghost on my channel.
However, we sadly had a drop in participants this time, despite the missions clearly being a lot easier than last time. Only 4 participants submitted official attempts, although quite a few said they knew some of them, but chose not to send me their suggestion. Hopefully people still enjoyed seeing the scenes displayed. See the first post or the video description for mission titles. Please let me know in the comments which missions you recognized, especially if you didn't participate.
Constructive criticism for future events is welcome.
Thanks! :thumb:

I can tell you my reasons for not participating. Main reason is simply my bad memory. I only was confident about 3 missions: Calendra's Legacy Mission 2, Alcazar and Lost Among Forsaken. I also recognized clips from 4 missions, but I didn't remember their titles. The rest wasn't memorable for me. But even if I would remember these other 4 and get total 7 missions, which is pretty decent score, I still wouldn't participate. And it's related to Dirkbogan's earlier post in this thread. He claimed that he knows 12 missions and he's not 100% certain about 2 other missions. The winner can be only one, so in order to have some fighting chance I would need to guess at least 13 missions or to if Dirkbogan's guess about 2 other missions is correct I would need to guess all 15 missions. And that's just not happening. This is too tough competition for me.

Oh dear, I didn't mean to stifle competition! :( In private, most of the Black Parade guys guessed all the maps immediately, so I assumed there would be lots of participants who answered very quickly. I guess it's hard to know when you have special knowledge of something.
Well, I considered recommending Shadow of Doubt for klatremus to play, but that's probably too punishing an assignment. Instead, I think The Violent End of Duncan Malveine by nicked would make for a fascinating video.
Thanks for another fun competition!

Broadsword of Sheol should go one category higher, doesn't it? ;)
And I did not recognize 7th Crystal despite having played it, 20 years ago or so. :facepalm

Thanks for the ambience competition. I guessed all Thief 1 FMs, but I missed a couple of Thief 2 entries. Also, most levels in Shadow of Doubt campaign are impossible to ghost, although they are otherwise excellent in many ways.

Doh, of course! I saw I ended with 3 unique ones and since you got 12 out of 15 I assumed that was correct. But Jonfeldt guesses Conspiracies in the Dark, you were actually the only participant who didn't get that one UV. Fixed.
@Galaer: Thanks for sharing your reasoning and your mission knowledge. I totally understand you not participating, but I don't slight DirkBogan for sharing his comment in the beginning. I was actually thinking that might've been one of the reasons but that is ok. I encourage people to share public discussion, especially since the competition is more hidden with private suggestions.
@DirkBogan: Nice choice I'm sure! I love any nicked missions I've played so far, so I hope this won't be any different.

I watched the video until the fifth mission, only recognized one, figured I would have no chance in the competition, and then forgot to watch the rest of the video before the deadline had passed.

In the end i got 10 out of 15 right, a couple more were very familar to me but was not able to put a name on them. Congratulations to Dirkbogan for a full score, he really means some tough competition!
