Dementeleus Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 ^^ That's particularly insidious because it can't be scored until the end of the game, meaning it's a depth charge that could blow CJohn up at the last minute. Allow me to say: (It's a bitter laugh tinged with madness) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Baumer, can I challenge someone while being challenged? EDIT: I am not even going to answer that. It is super hard. You can take my points away. Edited August 5, 2014 by CJohn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Baumer, can I challenge someone while being challenged? EDIT: I am not even going to answer that. It is super hard. You can take my points away. What? You lose 25K anyway, at least make an attempt and maybe you can win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 What? You lose 25K anyway, at least make an attempt and maybe you can win. I have better things to do than answer that SOTM. Way too many variables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Subject to Baumer confirmation (it's hard finding a balance between trying to screw somebody over and not completely screwing them over ) Apologies but well ya know... gotta gun for the guy in first haven't I? 1) Will Turtles make more than 40M 2) Which will open higher Step Up or 100ft Journey? 3) Will Lucy fall over 52.5%? 4) Will A most wanted man stay in the top 12? 5) Will Into the storm fall less than 27.5% on Sunday? 6) Will Tammy stay above Maleficent? 7) Will 2nd-8th place combine to gross more than GOTG's opening week? Which of the following films will finish closest (Percentage) to the target gross given by the end of the game? Guardians - 260M TF4 - 250M Lucy - 112M Apes - 210M Magic in the Moonlight 12.5M So if film A has a target of 100m and B is 200M, if A finishes with 90M and B with 185M B would be the answer as it is closer percentage wise (185/200 = 92.5% whilst 90/100 = 90% ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkelf Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I have better things to do than answer that SOTM. Way too many variables. Take a guess then. Though it is a nasty one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Anyone can challenge anyone. Only Tele cannot be challenged anymore. But Cjohn, you don't even have to make the questions yourself if you don't want to. I can do them, if you choose.

CJohn Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I am calling out chasmmi then. I will make the questions later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) I'm going to have to decline the SOTM question to Cjohn. It is in the spirit of the game, but much too difficult for a scenario like this. The SOTM questions have to be fair. When i make these questions, there is always an option to abstain. You are not giving that option. So that is not a fair question. EDIT: The numbers are not too hard to extrapolate but without giving an option to abstain, it is not fair. Again, it has to be fair, you have to give him a chance to answer it. This challenge is not supposed to come lightly. If the person you challenge wins, you lose 50K. So you better be sure that you are up for that challenge, but there has to be a reasonable chance to answer the question.

baumer Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'll leave it up to Cjohn though. If he accepts then so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) I am calling out chasmmi then. I will make the questions later. Hmm, I need to re-think this. Maybe next week. For now this goes without effect. Too many points at stake in one week only. But I will call him, that is 100% locked.
