baumer Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Post them here. Make sure the deadlines are clear and they will not be official until I approve them. I'm on here all the time, so I'll be able to check this frequently. As a courtesy, when you do call someone out, send them a pm and let them know.

Chewy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 How are these? Fair? Deadline would be the same as the regular weekly questions 1) Will Guardians break the August OW record? (Current holder: Bourne Ultimatum - 69,283,690) 2) Will Guardians increase on Saturday? 3) Will Get on Up gross more than Lucy? 4) Will Apes fall less than 50%? 5) Will Sex Tape gross more than Transformers? 6) Will Maleficent stay in the top 15? 7) Will Godzilla drop less than 30%?

baumer Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Here's the original post with the rules. There's 6 weeks left in the game. A lot can change and there is a lot of scoring to be done in the next few days. Here is perhaps my greatest creation. It's a way for you to say FUCK YOU to those ahead of you. The catch is this feature is only open to those in the top 12 spots. Here's how it works. Starting next week, anyone who is in the top 12 can call out another player in the top 12. They will call them out with a series of challenges. The challenges are three fold. 1) 7 questions, similar to and in the vein of, regular weekly questions (in other words, no chicanery, the questions must be legit) and B> A SOTM question, Once a player calls out another player, that player has no choice but to accept the challenge. In order for the player being called out to be successful, he/she must get 5 of the weekly questions right, must get the SOTM question right. If the player does get these questions right, they are 25,000 points to that player. If the player being called out doesn't succeed, not only does he lose 25,000 points, but the player who called him out gains 25,000 points. HOWEVER, if the player is called out and he is successful, not only is he rewarded the 25,000 points, the player who called him out loses 50,000 points. Here are the stipulations: Only players in the top 12 can participate in this. A player can only be called out once. and only once If you want to call a player out, you must do so publicly, in the main thread. If more than one person calls out the same player, the higher ranked player is given the right of way. This has obviously never been done before and I can't guarantee it will be done again. I don't even know if this will go over well or not. But this is to introduce a little chaos into the game. And you know what they say about chaos, don't you. Once you have been called out, you can never be called out again. But as long as you are in the top 12, regardless if you fall out and come back in, you can continue calling out people. Now keep in mind, you the individual are responsible for creating your own questions OR YOU CAN ASK ME TO DO IT FOR YOU. If you do them yourself, I have to approve them. And they must be approved by me. I won't allow stupid and unfair questions like (for example) "How much will Begin Again gross in Qatar this weekend?" These questions must be in the spirit of the game. Ok, let the fucking begin!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I had no idea there were so many funny edited for TV cuts of funny lines....that Usual Suspects one is hilarious. The Departed makes me laugh. They were "sloppy" for sure I really want to see a movie about monkey-fighting snakes on a Monday-to-Friday plane though. That would be awesome.
