7th Annual Baumer's Summer Game (BSG) Teaser Thread

[baumer]

Last year I had the thread up the first week of March.  We're heading into the third.  

 

For those who have never played before, I suggest you read some of the past games.  They are all located in this forum.  

 

For those of you returning, I'll have more information available in the next few days.  

 

Any questions, comments, suggestions, please let me know.

 

I look forward to another great season, starting May 2nd, exactly 7 weeks from now.  

 

 

[Jake Gittes]

Oh yeah.

[baumer]

Just for the record, if anyone has any suggestions that don't alter the ideology of the game, I will listen and consider them.  I'm like Tyler Perry.  I listen to the fans of the game and if there is a suggestion that makes sense, then I will add it to the game.  The international numbers was a suggestion as well as some of the preseason questions that have been asked. 

 

Don't get offended if I do not use your suggestion, this is, after all, a game I created and by now, it's seventh year, it is what it is.

For those of you who are new, here is the link to last year's game.  It's a little overwhelming, but if read through the first post, carefully, it all makes sense.

I sucked last year. I want the pre-season predictions/questions to matter more, 'cause I particularly sucked at the day-to-day stuff.

[Dementeleus]

Oh yeah.

[Empire]

Hopefully, this year, I actually take the time to do this.

The preseason stuff always matters more.  But this year, I'll make sure that the bonuses are much more consistent.

[Claire of Themyscira]

I just might.

 

I've gotten better and better.

 

And I mean, I feel I owe this to Baumer.

 

My alliance with you helped me win Survivor that season. Bless you, bb.

One change I would suggest is to open a thread which will have the questions and answers for every week as an archive. This way anyone can compare their answers to the actual answers and sort out any discrepancies in scoring early.

 

And maybe increase the bonus for number of movies rightly guessed to be in the top 15. Last year whether you guessed 9 or 11 movies the bonus was the same.

[baumer]

Yes, the bonus will be fixed for sure.  And I like your other suggestion as well.

[#ED]

Also, will those of us who bought the book you recommended receive those points you promised?I haven't been able to sleep since I remembered this,

[baumer]

Yes u will.

[ChD]

Hope I'll manage to play this whole game, this time.

 

Bring it on

I like what laguy did with the backup movie in case something changed from the schedule.  I remember GI Joe moving screwed a lot of people over so this would prevent something like that from happening again.
