I considered doing this heavily researched and cross-checked system to make sure all my predictions were just right, but after a little while of doing that I got bored and just kinda guessed. Same with my thought of checking to see what everyone else had predicted. So I have no idea how close I hew to the common consensus. I may end up adjusting things and nuking my week 0 (can we please, please, please get it scored before next Thursday?) but I know i'll probably be lazy and not bother. Last year that saved me because in the final week everyone went gaga over CACW. Let's see if that happens for GotG2. Good thing I can wait a week before looking at the SotM and that... other thing I don't yet understand. Youre probably wise for doing so. An educated guess is only marginally, if even, better than a random guess. It's kind of like how even professional investors, not named Warren Buffet, suck at picking stocks and rarely beat the market.

I work in the stock market, and I'm not at all certain that "good stock picking" is a skill anyone actually has, at least in a way thats distinguishable from random chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Fun table I just spent far too long collating: http://forums.boxofficetheory.com/topic/23904-all-time-summer-winter-table/ The all time (from 2012 onwards) stats for top 10 finishes in Summer/Winter Games. The main takeaways: @darkelf is a beast. We should all hope that players like @Olive, @iceroll @laguy03 @Tower @TylerDurden365 @kitik @Filmovie @Fake and a whoever dominated the game in the BOM days, don't all make a glorious return for this summer, if we want to win. Moderators are shit at this game. ( @grim22 is the only moderator that matters in the overall top 10, @Tele Came Back is the only one that doesn't matter in there) Nobody has won twice in the life of the Forums And finally... This isn't shown in the table but: Of the 10 winners of Summer or winter, I believe at least 4 were well outside the top 10 before preseasons kicked in. @Filmovie jumped 45 places to win his summer game. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
