#ED Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Remember those challenges last year? and how I sent out 3, and lost all 3 and lost about 20 spots in rank within the last 3 weeks of the game?

baumer Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Good idea Tele....but that kind of question will hurt those who re not here at the moment. I have something else in mind that will certainly provide some points, but will also not really make those not here yet, feel as though they were cheated. So I'll have it up soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I was just offering it as a SOTM for down the road. But I'd really rather not answer it, so please ignore it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLAYERS: There may be more preseason bonus questions added before the start of the game. It is doubtful, but I hold the right to add a question if it seems right. The Ron Jeremy of all bonus questions This is a four parter: 1) Will Avengers make at least 600 million domestically? NO 2) Will Avengers make more than a billion internationally? YES 3) Will Avengers do at least 25 million for previews YES 4)) Will Avengers make at least 1.8 billion WW? NO Scoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. You can go for as many as you like. Here is the catch: Every answer you call incorrectly you lose 10,000 points. There are no points for abstaining, with one caveat down below. *** Even more bonus and more treachery: If you go 4/4 you get a 28,000 point bonus. So this means you will get a total of 56,000 points for this question (7000X4 plus 28,000 point bonus)However, if you go for all 4 you must get all four correct. If you get even one incorrect, you will lose 20,000 points. So what this means is, if you go for all four and even if you get 3/4 correct, not only will you NOT get the 11,000 but you will lose a full 15,000 points. This question is worth a lot of points for those ballsy enough to go for all 4, but it will kick your ass if you get too cocky. PLEASE READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND IT FULLY. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN ASK ME. ONCE THE GAME STARTS, CLAIMING YOU DIDN'T READ IT RIGHT WILL NOT BE AN EXCUSE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU GO FOR ALL FOUR QUESTIONS, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST GET ALL FOUR RIGHT IN ORDER TO GET POINTS. Remember, you don't have to answer any of them. Or you can answer as little as you want. It's totally up to you. You can choose to go for as many or as little as you want. ***CAVEAT***If you choose to abstain from all 4, you will get 5000 for doing so. You must tell me if you are abstaining. NEW QUESTION: This is a four part question. Again, you have choices. Answer any part of the question. Each answer you get correct you will receive 7000 points. Each answer you get wrong, you will lose 7000 points. If you go for all four parts of the question, you must get all four parts correct. If you get even one wrong after going for it all, you will lose 7,000 points. You can go for all of it, none of it and some of it. Choice is yours. 17) Note*** Jurassic World does not qualify for this question A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 100 million dollars this summer? NO Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 35 mill? NO C) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%? Abstain D) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 13 mill? Abstain Get any question right: 7000 Get any question wrong: -7000Abstain from all four questions: 5000 Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000. But you must go for all four to qualify for the bonus Double Secret Probation Bonus Question Very simple, but very dangerous. I'll give you a number, you tell me if Avengers will gross more or less than that number in said markets. 1) Russia: 42M MORE 2) Germany: 31.5M LESS 3) Portugal: 3M LESS 4) China: 200M MORE If you go for this question, you must get all 4 correct. This is not a partial question. If you get at least 3 of the 4 correct, you will get 50,000. If you choose to abstain from this question, you will lose 15,000 points. If you go for the question and you do not get at least 3 or the 4 correct, you will lose 30,000 points. Choose Wisely. The "Hey maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked pal" question of debauchery. Will Jurassic World and F7 combine to make more than Avengers in these markets? 1) Japan YES 2) United Kingdom YES 3) Columbia YES 4) Mexico YES Each answer will be yes or no. Nothing more. You must get at least three correct. Get three correct, get a bonus of 50,000, don't get three correct, lose 25,000, abstain, lose 10,000. 1) How many films will gross at least 100 million dollars this summer? You have a cushion of 1 film. So if you are off by 1, you still get full points. 18 2) How many films will make a billion dollars this summer? No cushion 1 3) What will the domestic total gross be for the top 3 horror films of the summer. II don't want to see anything but a number in your answer. Do not list the films. Cushion of 50 mill 155mil 4) How many films will gross at least 40 million opening day? No cushion 2 5) How many films will make at least 500 million internationally? cushion of 1. 3 6) Will Terminator Genisys and Pitch Perfect 2 and Insidious 3 combine to gross more than F7 domestically? No 7) Will Ted 2 make more than Ted? No 8) Will Tele love Mad Max and will baumer love Jurassic World? You must answer both. This is an honour system question. I will tell you right now that I think i will love Jurassic World. Yes 9) Will any film released in August gross 100 mill before the end of the game? Yes 10) Will Self/Less make more than 40 million? No 11) How many films will make at least 750 million WW? 1 cushion 3 12) How many films will make at least 30 million OD? 1 cushion 4 13) Will Magic Mike XXL have a bigger opening day than Terminator Genisys? No 14) Will Pan be one of the top 7 grossing films of the summer domestically? No 15) Will Ant Man gross at least 500 mill WW? Yes 16) Will any film gross 250 million in China? Yes 17) Will any film have a WW weekend of more than 300 million (Avengers will only count from the time the game starts) Yes 18) Will Mission Impossible gross more than 200 million? No 19) Will Vacation gross more than 70 million? Yes 20) How many films will gross at least 305 million this summer? 2 21) Will Avengers gross more than the first one? No 22) Will any film besides Avengers make 25 million in Spain? No 23) Will any film besides Avengers make 65 million in the UK? Yes 24) Will Entourage make 100 mill or more? No 25.)

NO Answer it correctly: 15000 points Answer it incorrectly: lose 10,000 points Choose not to answer ( and you must state that you are not answering..failing to do so will automatically result in a loss of 10,000 points) 3000 points. Question 13: Will any of the top 7 grossing sequels domestically this summer have a second weekend drop of less than 47.5%? YES Answer it correctly: 15000 points Answer it incorrectly: lose 10,000 points Choose not to answer ( and you must state that you are not answering..failing to do so will automatically result in a loss of 10,000 points) 3000 points. Question 14: Will Avengers, Minions or Jurassic World have a Saturday increase minus the preview number? So take out the Thursday number and you get the true Friday number. You guys know the drill. NO Answer it correctly: 25,000 points Answer it incorrectly: lose 15,000 points Choose not to answer ( and you must state that you are not answering..failing to do so will automatically result in a loss of 15,000 points) 5000 points. Question 15: Will Minions outgross Avengers in at least two of these regions this summer? No France Netherlands Venezuela Hungary Answer it correctly: 25,000 points Answer it incorrectly: lose 15,000 points Choose not to answer ( and you must state that you are not answering..failing to do so will automatically result in a loss of 15,000 points) 5000 points. PLAYERS: There may be more preseason bonus questions added before the start of the game. It is doubtful, but I hold the right to add a question if it seems right. The Ron Jeremy of all bonus questions This is a four parter: 1) Will Avengers make at least 600 million domestically? NO 2) Will Avengers make more than a billion internationally? Abstain 3) Will Avengers do at least 25 million for previews YES 4)) Will Avengers make at least 1.8 billion WW? NO Scoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. You can go for as many as you like. Here is the catch: Every answer you call incorrectly you lose 10,000 points. There are no points for abstaining, with one caveat down below. *** Even more bonus and more treachery: If you go 4/4 you get a 28,000 point bonus. So this means you will get a total of 56,000 points for this question (7000X4 plus 28,000 point bonus) However, if you go for all 4 you must get all four correct. If you get even one incorrect, you will lose 20,000 points. So what this means is, if you go for all four and even if you get 3/4 correct, not only will you NOT get the 11,000 but you will lose a full 15,000 points. This question is worth a lot of points for those ballsy enough to go for all 4, but it will kick your ass if you get too cocky. PLEASE READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND IT FULLY. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN ASK ME. ONCE THE GAME STARTS, CLAIMING YOU DIDN'T READ IT RIGHT WILL NOT BE AN EXCUSE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU GO FOR ALL FOUR QUESTIONS, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST GET ALL FOUR RIGHT IN ORDER TO GET POINTS. Remember, you don't have to answer any of them. Or you can answer as little as you want. It's totally up to you. You can choose to go for as many or as little as you want. ***CAVEAT*** If you choose to abstain from all 4, you will get 5000 for doing so. You must tell me if you are abstaining. NEW QUESTION: This is a four part question. Again, you have choices. Answer any part of the question. Each answer you get correct you will receive 7000 points. Each answer you get wrong, you will lose 7000 points. If you go for all four parts of the question, you must get all four parts correct. If you get even one wrong after going for it all, you will lose 7,000 points. You can go for all of it, none of it and some of it. Choice is yours. 17) Note*** Jurassic World does not qualify for this question A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 100 million dollars this summer? NO Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 35 mill? NO C) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%? Abstain D) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 13 mill? YES Get any question right: 7000 Get any question wrong: -7000 Abstain from all four questions: 5000 Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000. But you must go for all four to qualify for the bonus Double Secret Probation Bonus Question Very simple, but very dangerous. I'll give you a number, you tell me if Avengers will gross more or less than that number in said markets. 1) Russia: 42M less 2) Germany: 31.5M less 3) Portugal: 3M less 4) China: 200M more If you go for this question, you must get all 4 correct. This is not a partial question. If you get at least 3 of the 4 correct, you will get 50,000. If you choose to abstain from this question, you will lose 15,000 points. If you go for the question and you do not get at least 3 or the 4 correct, you will lose 30,000 points. Choose Wisely. The "Hey maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked pal" question of debauchery. Will Jurassic World and F7 combine to make more than Avengers in these markets? 1) Japan YES 2) United Kingdom YES 3) Columbia YES 4) Mexico YES Each answer will be yes or no. Nothing more. You must get at least three correct. Get three correct, get a bonus of 50,000, don't get three correct, lose 25,000, abstain, lose 10,000. As promised, here are your additional 20 25 questions for you. I love this part of the game. For every question you get right, you receive 7000 points. For every question you get wrong, you lose 2000 points. These are mandatory questions, there is no abstaining. Any player who is in this game, who does not answer these questions, loses 50,000 points. Do not forget to do these. Remember grosses count from May 1st until September 7th. All grosses come from boxofficemojo.com, all genres are determined by boxofficemojo.com.....so if I ask you a question about a romance, if that film is listed as a sci-fi/romance, then it will qualify as a romance. 1) How many films will gross at least 100 million dollars this summer? You have a cushion of 1 film. So if you are off by 1, you still get full points. 11 2) How many films will make a billion dollars this summer? 1 3) What will the domestic total gross be for the top 3 horror films of the summer. II don't want to see anything but a number in your answer. Do not list the films. Cushion of 50 mill 304m 4) How many films will gross at least 40 million opening day? No cushion 1 5) How many films will make at least 500 million internationally? cushion of 1. 2 6) Will Terminator Genisys and Pitch Perfect 2 and Insidious 3 combine to gross more than F7 domestically? NO 7) Will Ted 2 make more than Ted? NO 8) Will Tele love Mad Max and will baumer love Jurassic World? You must answer both. This is an honour system question. I will tell you right now that I think i will love Jurassic World. YES 9) Will any film released in August gross 100 mill before the end of the game? YES 10) Will Self/Less make more than 40 million? NO 11) How many films will make at least 750 million WW? 1 cushion 3 12) How many films will make at least 30 million OD? 1 cushion 2 13) Will Magic Mike XXL have a bigger opening day than Terminator genisys? YES 14) Will Pan be one of the top 7 grossing films of the summer domestically? NO 15) Will Ant Man gross at least 500 mill WW? YES 16) Will any film gross 250 million in China? NO 17) Will any film have a WW weekend of more than 300 million (Avengers will only count from the time the game starts) YES 18) Will Mission Impossible gross more than 200 million? NO 19) Will Vacation gross more than 70 million? NO 20) How many films will gross at least 305 million this summer? 1 21) Will Avengers gross more than the first one? NO 22) Will any film besides Avengers make 25 million in Spain? NO 23) Will any film besides Avengers make 65 million in the UK? NO 24) Will Entourage make 100 mill or more? NO 25) Will Avengers drop less than 55% second weekend? NO Edited May 1, 2015 by Goffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
