laguy03 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 There was an SOTM this week? Ugh! Now I lose 10,000 points because I missed that post. I know this is your game, chasmmi, but my two cents: give people more than 2 days to answer SOTM questions. baumer normally gives us at least a week's notice, which is really helpful.

Wrath Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 There was an SOTM this week? Ugh! Now I lose 10,000 points because I missed that post. I know this is your game, chasmmi, but my two cents: give people more than 2 days to answer SOTM questions. baumer normally gives us at least a week's notice, which is really helpful. I suppose that's true, but personally I'm more appreciative that chasmmi is doing it at all. You know the answers are going to be due Thursday night, so I'd just check for questions Thursday morning and handle it then. My problem tends to be the opposite. As soon as the questions come up, I feel bad for having not answered them. Which is dumb, because you really want to answer them as late as possible so you can incorporate the least inaccurate projections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ-8 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Yo Chassmi... If Boxofficemojo is gone.. what are we going to base our official numbers on then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Is a good question. Bo.com may work if they do weekend dailies too. But am open to suggestions. Of course if imdb actually adds in bom then we'd stick with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
