  1. So CAYOM is dead now? Shame, I really miss the good ole days. This game always felt like a niche for me. I have many fond memories of it. And I regret that it seems dead now, when I may have finally had time to come back for a little while, like a month or two. Maybe some day it will re-emerge.
  2. To Numbers, I'm certainly not asking for anyone to run future seasons. I'm looking for anyone who may want to finish Season 5 with another couple episodes (3-5 is really all it needs left, and 3 is a great way to finish it with 11 episodes for the season). So if you are up for it after your vacation, let me know and I'll pass on everything you need to know just to finish out this season. Then we'll call it quits, at least for the time being. At Xeno, yes something like that. It's been increasingly difficult for me to find the time to come here at all anymore, between college, work, my social life, and this girl I'm really really into. At Goffe, your Miley Cyrus twerky has always disgusted me. Just thought I'd share that.
  3. Jim, you are entirely right, Numbers would be a phenomenal choice. Do others agree? He's already been eliminated (although I had planned to bring him back, but now he can be brought back differently and more importantly). Another thing: to whomever does choose to host, if anyone, Tawasal is also still alive. I granted him leave of absence but he's back if that affects anything. Numbers, if you feel you're up for it (which likely you may not be, but if you are) then please contact me.
  4. To all current and previous players of Box Office Alliance: Thank you all for your continued dedication to what I personally think has been the most rewarding gaming experience on these forums. For over 2 years, 4 seasons, you have made this small idea I started out with blossom into a very competitive, thrilling, and suspenseful game show. I have enjoyed being your host, and it has been a great time getting to know you all and even growing to like and respect you as quality forum members and skilled box-office predictors. You have all been valuable in some way in making "Box Office Alliance" a great, lasting game. Since its inception, there has been a lot of interesting competition, suspenseful Challenges, surprise eliminations, and freak twists that have made this the epitome of an exciting game show. Each season has brought something new to the table and has introduced new players who have helped shape the game in some way. Although I always try something new with each season, it has been the players that have helped me keep true to the original ideas and concepts of the game. And, I wanted to say for clarity's sake, every single season has NEVER been planned out. Any rough patches were always caused by me introducing a new concept then running with it to make it work. For instance, the whole Legends thing last season was never thought out. At the start of the season I was just like, "Hey let's do something exciting" and then I started trinkling with ideas but I never planned out everything I would have for the Legends. They came as they did, when they did, and without much interference on my part. And that has been the same of each season; never planned out, but always finding some way to work out. You all have made this an interesting game. The stuff that goes on inside the threads may sometime rouse excitement, but they hold nothing to the intrigue and backstabbery that occurs within the private messages amongst the teams. If ever I get the chance to archive that information, I can show you all the backstories of Box Office Alliance, but I doubt I'll ever be able to. Regardless, let it be known that this game has been very competitive, and the players who have been most loyal are the ones who have made it the most worthwhile. I wish I had time to go into the moments I most enjoyed about the game, or to answer any unanswered questions, but I don't really. You all may however share your favorite moments if you so wish amongst each other here, or to give your closing remarks to the game, but I will not venture to join you in this discussion. However, there is something I must leave you with. I will allow a very loyal player to finish out Season 5 with 3-5 more episodes if someone so wishes to step up to the position. Please pm me about it and I will let everyone know who may finish out Season 5, so that this isn't ended on such a note as this. If you would like to be considered, mention yourself here so we can see if others support you as a temporary host to end the game. Or if you think someone would make a good host, mention their name in a comment and I will get in touch with them. Meanwhile, I must leave you all but I appreciate all the dedication that has been shown here and maybe some day I will be able to return for Season 6 as originally intended, but for the forseeable future, I will not be able to return and so farewell. Thanks for your participation, The Creator
  5. This message (the red part) can actually be found in the original post from episode 5.1 earlier this season. It has been my intention to conclude Season 5, then make this reveal at the end of the season, leaving you all for a period of time and returning in May for a final season of Box Office Alliance, one to say farewell to all the players who have made this a great game. Unfortunately, Season 5 has been so muddied by my delays and the consequential lack of enthusiasm from the players. I confess myself disappointed to do this, but I absolutely and without objection must tenure my resignation at this here and present moment. I absolutely do not have the time, energy, or devotion to return to these forums for the next few months of my life, as I'm stepping into some very important matters and will be hard pressed to find the time to return here. Do not take this as an insult to the game, for I do like the game and have appreciated running it for 4 successful seasons, but there is just clearly no way I can continue to maintain the game when my life at the moment is far too busy to bring me here. At the rate we're going, if I were to finish out the season as I wanted, it could take us several weeks with how hard-pressed I am to find the time. Let it be known also that this is not only my withdrawal from the game, but from these forums. If you need to contact me about this, or if there is someone else who wants to finish out Season 5 (but end it there), then please shoot me a PM and I will do my best to arrange a temporary host to finish out the remainder of this season, thus ending the game on a better note than I can at the moment. Thank you all for your participation and patience, The Creator
  6. Yes I know, it does feel like a long while has passed. I will have results posted shortly.
  7. 5.8 "The Kickoff" Deadline: Friday, December 20 at 5:00 P.M. Eastern (4:00 P.M. Central) Predict the following: 1. The difference between Anchorman 2's Friday gross and its combined Wednesday and Thursday gross (e.g. if it makes 10 million Friday and 12 million on Wednesday and Thursday combined, the difference is 2 million) 2. Walking with Dinosaur's Saturday share of its opening weekend gross (e.g. if it makes 10 million Saturday and 30 million for the weekend, that wold be 33%, 33.3%, or 33.33%) 3. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug's second weekend gross 4. Frozen's fifth weekend gross as a percent of its fourth weekend gross (22.57 million) 5. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire's percent drop
  8. Ok, Chasmmi, Films, you are both selected for The Challenge this week. You can choose to opt out by paying Olive 15 points. If, however, you choose to go in, then your Challenge will be this week's questions, due to time constraints on my part (once again).
  9. POINT TOTALS Chasmmi's Circle Chasmmi: 35 Films: 30 Total: 65 Alfred's Alliance Alfred: 34 Tower: 24 Total: 58 The Equation Sensation Jim Shorts: 17 Goffe: 27 Total: 44 The Shadowgods Olive: 32 Total: 32 Chasmmi's Circle Blankments: 22 Total: 22 Tawasal's Gathering Tawasal: 15 Fmpro: 11 Grim22: 11 Total: 11* Gizmo: 11** *Fmpro and Tawasal may both be eliminated. **Gizmo is exiled/may be eliminated
  10. Yes Olive, if you so which, you can choose to make Blankments your new partner. However, you do not have to. Meanwhile, and with much delay, here comes your task. Below is the rankings of the teams based on power rankings from last week's Ventures. The top ranked Team Captain holds the most power and sway, and this week, Olive tops the charts. This means that he gets to choose one entire team to send into The Challenge...any team of his choice. The players of that team can opt out of the Challenge however, if they choose to give Olive 15 points a piece. The stakes are high, and they will only get higher from here. Here are the rankings: 1. The Shadowgods Team Captain: Olive 2. Alfred's Alliance Team Captain: Alfred 3. The Equation Sensation Team Captain: Jim Shorts 4. Chasmmi's Circle Team Captain: Chasmmi No other team has a Team Captain or prospect, so they are not ranked here. Olive, you must choose which team to send into a Challenge. I will compile all points so the players of any given team can decide whether they wish to purchase immunities to abstain from your Challenge...and then another Ventures will be held this week before we kick off the Holidays with a new game. Also, a note to "The Equation Sensation" - Goffe and Jim, you each retain your free immunity. If push comes to shove, you can use it here.
  11. 5.7 "The End Catches Up" Alfred has known "The Shadowlords" previously. They were always his most talented opponents. Thus, he embraces his failure against Olive as a known outcome. But before he could lose to Olive, he had the opportunity to cast the Resurrection Stone he won in the Ventures a week ago. Many players have been slain, but Alfred has lost no one personal to him this season. So the decision could be made to resurrect anyone. There is only one player this season who truly embodies everything Alfred also does. Although they may have been enemies before, they have also been allies in times of dire need, and together they represent two of the most recognizable players in the game. So together, they can be an unstoppable force. And thus, Alfred has chosen to resurrect Acsc1312, formerly of "The Shadowgods" - also Olive's former captain - onto "Alfred's Alliance." An unexpected twist, but now the Alliance becomes even stronger, as Alfred and Acsc are both among the strongest and best players of all...and Tower is rising up there, too. Still, Olive remains in the lead, and "The Shadowgods" - now a lone Shadowgod - remains poised at the top of the list. Olive poses a major threat, but there is a hindrance. Gizmo, his only remaining partner, has been absent for too long and could prevent Olive from achieving his truest excellence. So, in this dire moment, Olive, ranked highest of the Team Captains, has the privilege of disbanding himself from Gizmo. Gizmo no longer identifies with "The Shadowgods" - leaving Olive alone. But there is another player who remains alone, beaten...almost forgotten. Overlooked for too long, this player now comes to the forefront as a potential new ally for Olive, and Olive has the decision of choosing to select him as a new teammate, strengthening "The Shadowgods". Meanwhile, the other teams cringe beneath Olive, fearing his wrath, for he shall choose a Challenge...or be showered in more points. "The Equation Sensation" may be no match; "Alfred's Alliance" may falter; and even "Chasmmi's Circle" may unfold beneath Olive in this tremendous moment of backstabbing and aggression. ...now onto the results. Alfred's Alliance Alfred: 91.00% +4 (+1 3rd team, +3 90%+) Tower: 91.26% +4 (+1 3rd team, +3 90%+) AVG: 91.13% Chasmmi's Circle Chasmmi: 90.63% +3 (+3 90%+) Films: 91.37% (+3 (+3 90%+) AVG: 91.00% ChD's Covenant ChD: dead Blankments: 96.81% +15 (+5 highest individual, +3 1st team, +4 95%+, +3 all questions 90%+) AVG: 96.81% The Equation Sensation Jim Shorts: 87.49% +2 (+2 85%+) Goffe: 93.48% +4 (+1 3rd individual, +3 90%+) AVG: 90.74% The Shadowgods Olive: 95.44% +11 (+2 2nd individual, +2 2nd team, +4 95%+, +3 all questions 90%+) AVG: 95.44% Gizmo: exiled - 0.00% Tawasal's Gathering Tawasal: presumed missing Fmpro: presumed dead - 0.00% Grim22: 80.79% +1 (+1 80%+) AVG: Not recorded With so many players vanishing, and others being recognized as potentially dead, the game is taking an ominous turn, and it's uncertain who remains loyal to whom at this point. But it is clear who our top dogs are...and now we may be joined by another. Blankments has gone unnoticed for far too long, but now he takes the reigns, and Olive has the choice to make Blankments a new "Shadowgod." Olive, the choice is yours.
  12. 5.7 "The End Catches Up" The Ventures - Catching Fire Special results Chasmmi was excluded from this Venture, which means he will not reap any of the benefits that are in store. However, Olive will be attempting to defend his title...and he faces quite a challenge against both Alfred and Jim Shorts, two powerhouses who can easily trump Olive. This Venture determines the rankings of the teams, so it is a crucial Venture. How did each Captain fare? Alfred - Jim Shorts - Alfred has a clear lead now. This puts "The Equation Sensation" behind. But now Alfred's real struggle begins with Olive. Could Alfred top him and win the top team? Olive is proving to be a powerful newcomer to the scene, and he could very well have stopped Alfred in his tracks and possibly taken the Resurrection Stone. So before we reveal the results of Olive's score, Alfred has made a decision. In the offchance that Olive beats Alfred, he will take the Resurrection Stone. Alfred will lose that special privilege, so he went ahead and cast the stone before the Ventures began...and he chose to resurrect someone whose identity is soon to be revealed. But now Olive cannot get his hands on the stone or the person it resurrected. But was Olive able to beat Alfred? Olive - YES! Olive has gained supremacy. Now he will be the lone Shadowgod, and his team will rank highest when the compilation is produced momentarily. But moreover, Olive receives a special benefit. ...Olive gets to sentence the players of one team this week to a Challenge, and those players can only opt out by paying Olive fifteen points a piece. Olive gets to choose which team to pick for this special elimination Challenge.
  13. 5.7 "The End Catches Up" Olive, now a new Team Captain in the absence of both Acsc1312 and XenoZodiac, got to choose which Team Captain to exclude from the Ventures this week. The candidates were Alfred, Chasmmi, and Jim Shorts. Olive chose to exclude Chasmmi of "Chasmmi's Circle", which means that the team will be unable to reap benefits from this Ventures. As for the other three, they are all competing in the Ventures, which consisted of the weekend questions due to time constraints. Forthcoming...the results!
  14. 5.7 "The End Catches Up" Deadline: Friday, December 6 at 5:00 P.M. Eastern (4:00 P.M. Central) Predict the following: 1. Predict Catching Fire's weekend percent drop 2. Predict the combined Saturday and Sunday grosses of Frozen (do not include its Friday gross) 3. Predict Thor's Friday gross as a percent of its weekend gross (e.g. if it made 2 million Friday and 6 million for the weekend, your answer would be 33%, 33.3%, or 33.33%) And that's it. Just 3 questions this week.
  15. 5.6 "Catching Fire Special" - cont. Chasmmi and Films dominated and emerged at the top this week, despite competing against very fierce competition from some of the other players. Pulling out a solid victory, the duo is now poised at the top of the charts this week, and that makes them "superior" to all others...as now we venture into The Ventures, and the dominant Team Captain is about to be established. This week, there are two Ventures, and at the end of them, we will officially begin to compile a ranking system, whereby the teams are ranked on the basis not of points but of the strength of Team Captains. The Team Captain who holds the lead at the end of this week will receive a special prize...and the losers shall have a bounty to pay. Olive came out the gate full swing this week. As his loyal founders XenoZodiac and Acsc1312 have both vanished, assumed dead, Olive has taken reign as Team Captain of "The Shadowgods". After posting the highest score of the season, Olive has certainly put his name up in contention as one of the most prominent players left standing...but it's the ones not standing that he may have to worry about the most, as ghosts are about to come haunting, and The Creator's Game continues with a big surprise forthcoming. Olive is up for the challenge now...a challenge against current dominant Team Captain Alfred, who has won more than one Ventures now, and most recently came to possess a Resurrection Stone. Although Alfred has not yet used it, it remains in his possession. But if Olive defeats Alfred in this week's Ventures before Alfred uses it, he can very well steal the Resurrection Stone from Alfred. Therefore, it would be in Alfred's best interest to use it as soon as possible, to avoid losing a major bargaining chip. Alfred is top dog at the moment. His success over the past few weeks has been rivaled by few. And although "The Equation Sensation" may top him in the charts, he is perhaps more capable than either Jim or Goffe. After being largely a dormant force over the past couple seasons, merely playing it by ear, Alfred is finally rising to the top again. The last time Alfred rose to the top, he finished the season in first place. Now, he is once more on the high rise. Olive may be his biggest opponent at the moment. Ironically, Olive is the embodiment of Acsc1312, as a loyal "Shadowgod" in Acsc's absence. Acsc was Alfred's first major competitor in the Season 1 finale, where Alfred barely pulled out a win. Moreover, however, Acsc was always CEDAR's biggest ally, and CEDAR, now vanquished after the events of the Legend War last season left him defeated, was and has always been Alfred's biggest enemy. The events of Season 1 left a bitter feeling between Alfred and CEDAR, when CEDAR accused "The Firerisers" of illegal actions, and Alfred and his then-partner Townzy became suspects in a horrible criminal activity. The animosity has died down tremendously since, yet a sentiment has always been there, a sentiment toward hatred and distrust. Now that CEDAR is gone, Alfred can finally reign as the superior player of Box Office Alliance. Of all the greats, Alfred alone has made it this far. Totem, CEDAR, Xeno, Riczhang, Acsc1312....all gone. Alfred is in a league largely of his own at this point, with only a couple other greats left standing. They may pose no match for him. ...but one person will. The game will never be the same again. Now, we get to the first part of this week's Ventures. This was based off the bonus question that all players were asked. The bonus question will not determine overall rank in the Ventures. However, it will be used as a basis for their entrance into the Ventures this week. The highest scorer on the bonus will have the biggest opportunity in this Venture. So, without further ado, here are the scores for the Team Captains on the bonus question: Alfred - No score. Chasmmi - 97.12% Jim Shorts - 87.09% Olive - 97.53% These four remain the only active Team Captains at the present moment. As Olive scored highest, he will be the first to place in this week's Ventures. Here is Olive's consolation: Olive gets to choose which of the three Team Captains to exclude from The Venture altogether. By being excluded, that Team Captain will rank last at the end of the compilation of team rankings this week and will therefore lose any advantage that may be gained from the competition. The other three will then compete in this week's Ventures. Olive, choose who to exclude.
