grim22 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Good morning players. It's no secret that I have not been around nearly as much this year so far. I am really struggling to find time to do the game and this is the reason I actually considered not doing one this year or just letting Chas run it. When I ran the game before I used to work in an office where I could dedicate so much time to it during the week but now driving a bus and getting myself back into the world of the living after a divorce, well, it makes things more difficult for me. I am sorry things haven't been smooth so far. I will do my best to spend more time on the game. I owe it to you guys, the players who put so much effort into the game, to be here a bit more often. The scoring will be done today, the standings will be done today, the SOTM 2 will be done today. Again, I apologize for my absence but it's just there's only so many hours in the day and I think I need more of them. Thanks for your patience and I'm sorry to have let you guys down so far. I'm going to try to make it better. Thanks, baumer No issues at all Baumer. Life comes first. If you need help with scoring weekly questions or SOTM's, feel free to reach out.

chasmmi Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 or just letting Chas run it. after the hell I put them through over winter time? I think they need another few months recuperation before being subjected to that again And to echo others, life does come first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laguy03 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'm kind of regretting putting San Andreas in my top 15. I have a feeling that it will flop. And after seeing that Vacation trailer, I'm convinced that it will open well and make the top 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Can everyone NOT post in any of the "BSG Tracking" threads. It clutters the thread up. Please use this thread for discussions about anything related to the game. Thanks LaGuy and Jajang for the help. Simply put: Let LaGuy and Jajang(and of course Baumer) post in their respective threads since it gets annoying to scroll through a discussion when trying to gather up information.

Mattrek Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I think it's perfectly fine to have a little discussion about the subject in that subjects thread it's not like we're doing two pages of useless talking or anything. We're on subject and it doesn't last too long. It's been like that for years and we've never had anyone complain or have issues before. Why fix what's not broken?

Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Posting in their threads is our way of showing appreciation. I would hate to put all that work into a thread and not have anyone post in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ-8 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'm quite happy to have discussion in the weekend thread as long as we stay on topic (I'm unhiding all those posts Ed. It's driving me mad now seeing all that pink ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get 30,000 points!If your prediction is in BLUE, the prediction is in the top 7 AND within $10m. You get 25,000 points!

You get 15,000 points! If your prediction is in GREY, the prediction is in the top 7 AND within $30m. You get 10,000 points! If your prediction is in BLACK, the prediction is in the top 7 AND not within $30m. You get SAFE (0)!

baumer Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Also from Avi: but a couple things to note for the domest OW 1. Everyone put Avengers 2 number 1 2. Besides for 8 people everyone has Jurassic World number 2 so 40/48 people have avengers 2 and then jurassic world in that order 3. The Average list looks like this 1. Avengers: Age of Ultron 2. Jurassic World 3. Minions 4. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation 5. Ant-Man 4. Only 8 total movies were predicted for the Domestic OW those were Avengers 2 Ant-Man MI5 Minions Jurassic World Pixels Inside Out Ted 2 5. It's tough to tell but in my opinion the widest range in predictions was Inside Out with Ant-Man in a close second 6. Everyone that has Ted 2 has it in 5th 7. Now these facts are getting random 8. Only 1 person doesn't have minions 9. So people were pretty similar in their OW's this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
