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

[Mattrek]

^ Couldnt have said it any better myself. Life is far more important then a game on the Internet.

[grim22]

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]

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.

[kayumanggi]

I love the members here. Best forum, seriously.

No worries. We all understand.

[laguy03]

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.

[#ED]

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.

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]

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.

[JJ-8]

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 )

[baumer]

Keep the discussion in here guys.  Most of you know the drill.  Yes, you can post in that thread, but not the way Avi has.  I've moved some of his posts here.  For example:

[baumer]

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
