chasmmi Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Ok, that is a bit of a mess the table, but I wanted to show how I marked each specific film for each player so its easier for anyone to checked discrepancies that they see. Interestingly, if you remove the top 3 and the bottom 2, the rest of the player base is only within 100k of each other which is less than some previous SOTMs in both summer and winter have produced. I'm not trying to admit the question wasn't seriously flawed (it was and I will address that next year and talk about it more in detail when the game is over), but this SOTM may not be as gamebreaking as it potentially could have ended up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 There was definitely a huge advantage in not going for specific categories. In hindsight I feel like an idiot for only going for one specific category in certain movies. Just putting the movie by itself would have yielded way more points with way less risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 In hindsight going for something like say Spectre: Song was a ridiculous risk as you stood to lose 18k for the potential win of just 2. Animations and Carol were the big losers here. (Suffragette and Crimson Peak were the only non-animations mentioned to not get a single nomination I believe). Weirdly, not a single player went specific on Big Short. Overall though I liked bring Oscars into the game and I liked the concept of the question and trying to predict categories. The gulf between success and failure and the pointlessness of going for say Spectre for song or Creed for supporting actor, need to be addressed for next time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you knock the potential gains/losses down by something close to a factor of 10, it'll be a worthwhile and challenging SOTM for the future.

BadAtGender Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Here's a thought for the question. Guess a movie, and you get points for each nomination it gets. Perhaps just a flat 1k points, regardless of the category. So if a film you guess gets 6 noms, that's 6k points. Guess a specific nomination for that movie and you get a flat bonus per category you state. Say 1k points in this case. You still get the points for other nominations it receives. Say the above 6 nom film got best actor, which you guess, so you get 7k points. At best if you guess all noms correctly, it'll be double the normal value. Guess a specific nomination wrong, and you get no points for any category and lose 5k points. Guess a film that receives no nominations and you lose 2k points. Abstain and get 5k points. With a question as broad as this, it feels like it should give incentive for people to play. The risk of going specific should be bigger than the reward if you're right, but it shouldn't be so punishing. I think the above could give some nice rewards, but won't be as swingy as it turned out to be. Someone could plug in my scoring into the answers everyone gave to see how it differs, though.

MovieMan89 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Good week for me, although Exxdee is seriously a machine at this point. Looks like he might be almost perfect on both part 1 and part 3 and get a bonus as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
