Baumer's Summer Game - Darkelf #1, Grim22 #2, laguy03 #3..final words from baumer pg 95

[#ED]

I will work on this Saturday, also when should we expect week 1 questions?

[Plain Old Tele]

I will work on this Saturday, also when should we expect week 1 questions?

 

At a wild guess, sometime the week of the 26th? After Sunday but before Thursday?

At a wild guess, sometime the week of the 26th? After Sunday but before Thursday?

 

Right, but it's a BIG weekend. 

[K1stpierre]

I can't wait for this to start

I think my realistic goal is perhaps to get as many negative points as possible.

The realistic goal is to be above Tele at all times.

[Plain Old Tele]

The realistic goal is to be above Tele at all times.

 

Such reckless hate...

[Chewy]

I still have so much preseason stuff to do 

 

Team Procrastination

[K1stpierre]

The realistic goal is to be above Tele at all times.

Oh I thought I had to be above Baumer, the game master, of all people?

[K1stpierre]

I still have so much preseason stuff to do 

 

Team Procrastination

You better get that tush movin.

[Empire]

Oh I thought I had to be above Baumer, the game master, of all people?

Nope. #ED is right. Just have to stay above Tele.

[K1stpierre]

Nope. #ED is right. Just have to stay above Tele.

Okay, so I'll be pinned above Tele and under everyone else.

[Plain Old Tele]

Okay, so I'll be pinned above Tele and under everyone else.

 

Pinned above Tele...

 

[#ED]

Pinned above Tele...

 

 

Under everyone else...

 

[K1stpierre]

What? You can be pinned above someone, or maybe I'll just pin Tele down on the ground.

And the others are all ahead of me.

So in essence what I was conveying was that I'm like the marshmallow of a s'more. I'm just one of the "in between"'s.

lol, Mrs Tele might have problem with that. 

[Cedarpoint1111]

For our top 10 WW picks I have a question. Will any money a movie makes before May 1st count towards the total? I'm talking about avengers, it opens in several markets before the official start of this game.

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? Yes
C) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%? No
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 Yes
2) Germany: 31.5M Yes
3) Portugal: 3M No
4) China: 200M Yes

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.
