Chasmmi's Winter Game - Discussion and Rules - SCORES ARE TALLIED RESULTS COUNTDOWN IN PROGRESS!!!

[chasmmi]

you're either a hero or a fool... or both

[darkelf]

Eh, I'll probably cave in and go for 8000 anyway

[Wrath]

Well.  

 

I think we're all equally undeserving of a victory lap this week.

[Filmovie]

China's Mockingjay release has been delayed to Jan 15. So there will be only a few days for its box office before the game ends. Does this affect HG os countries question? In other words, is China's result still part of the game or have we to use our make up country?

[chasmmi]

If it is before the end of the game then it counts sadly.

 

(Same as how Paddington is going to screw over a couple of people by moving to the weekend before the end of the game.

[Wrath]

Yeah, as this game has progressed I've gotten a much better feel for how international releases, especially China, work.  And some of my WW predictions are now looking a little optimistic.  That's the way it goes.

Damn. I knew I got the 3rd bonus. That is nailing it. Finally had a good weekly score. Edited November 21, 2014 by Jajang and Back Again

[bcf26]

Damn. I need Mockingjay Part 1 to gross 125,000,001M this weekend.

[iceroll]

Ouch, some people are going to lose 64k... I'm glad I only went for the first two.

[tong kosong]

I'm glad I chickened out at the last minute. Only lose 1000 points.

 

[grim22]

I chickened out as well, only losing 1000. Can't believe how badly Mockingjay did.

I don't think Chas thought this SOTM could be scored this quickly.

You're telling me. Question 1 was the gimme so that I didn't need to think about abstain criteria
