fantasy bo Fantasy Box Office - 2016 Discussion Thread | FBO 2016 Geekfreek Awards .... Winner is announced - see the thread.... Congratulations to all on a game well played!

[JJ-8]

And Here it is, the final Weekend Report for 2016 (well technically it's split between 16 and 17, but as there are no new releases for 2017 as yet, it stays in here).

 

The next weekend chart will be in the 2017 thread  .  Remember I will continue to track the 2016 movies and they continue to count towards the weekend and monthly charts as always.  

 

Not surprisingly, Simionski has continue to dominate over the christmas / new years break with his major investment in Rogue One.

And here is the FINAL Monthly Chart for 2016.  As expected, December has been a rather on the large size month.  Not only were Simionski's and Chasmmi's monthly totals, the biggest in 2016, they are in fact the largest monthly total ever put up in any month.  To be honest though, if the Game was running in 2015, i suspect that December 2015 might have someone higher but since we weren't running at the time, they are now the #1 and #2 all time monthly records ever!  (Simionski now owns 2 of the top 3 ever monthly totals in the game)

[JJ-8]

The old 2016 Thread has returned to the main forums for 1 last time to announce the winners of the 2016 Game (2017 Game thread is in the sub forum temporarily until this is done)

 

 

 

 

[JJ-8]

Welcome to the 2016 Fantasy Box Office  "Geekfreek" Awards ....

 

Fantasy Box Office grew out of an idea back 10 years ago back on the now defunct forum on BOM.  Over the years the game has gone through highs and lows (especially when the game disappeared for over 3 years).  I have hosted the game for most of that time.  However time to get back to the triumphant return of FBO in 2016.... 

 

2016 turned out to be a strong return for the game though we did miss the highs of Star Wars, Deadpool was more than able to make up for that very shortly  in 2016.  2016 also turned out to be a year of trials where there were attempts to improve the gameplay and hopefully make it more interesting.  The biggest change of course releated to the investment rule.  I won't go into the details but i believe that this rule is a much more workable solution than what we had previously.

 

I will explain how each of the awards were scored - all but the overall award is calculated directly from the $ you earnt / the returns you made on your investments.  The awards i'm handing out tonight are:

• ROI (Return on Investment) Award
• Best Investor Award
• Company Value Award
• The Weekend Award
• Revenue or total gross for the year award
• Geekfreek Award

And so it begins.....

[JJ-8]

Firstly, lets go all the way back to Q1  / January when the game finally took off again ... 

 

We began the year 11 players who had made investments across 2 movies.  In the end only 1 more performed well and the first weekend of the games return was equally led by yours truely and Chasmmi (my fellow Summer/winter Game Host). the reailty was January wasn't a very strong month in general with the biggest movie invested during the month barely making it's budget back. By month end, Simionski would taken over as leader of the game from BourneFan#1 and Grey Ghost.  February would however turn the game on it's head all due to a little film called "Deadpool" which pretty smashed a few records in the process.  the all time month of February fell along with the highest weekend total ever in February.  Both records of course went to Wrath with Lucasbenica following closely.  March would end up seeing more of the same with both the monthly and weekend records falling but to Lucasbenica.  By end of Q1, the game was dominated by Wrath and Lucasbenica. by the end of March we had 13 Active players (we did peak at 15 players during February).

 

So onto our first award.....

[JJ-8]

ROI Award

 

The Return on Investment Award awards the player who got the highest overall Average % gain across their investments.  To be eligble you must have invested in 7 movies as minimum.

[JJ-8]

Well done to Exxdee.... now onto the first nominee for the Geekfreek Award, @BourneFan #1....

 

BourneFan#1 has been with us right since the start of the game in 2016. He was in fact a regular player right up until September where he all but disappeared making only 1 investment beyond September severly hampering his chances.  However, it can be said he was very much in the race for this game which is why he is nominated.    Some very well chosen investments in the middle of the year including Captain America, Secret life of pets among others he gave himself every chance to make it.  He manged to top the weekend chart on 2 occasions during the year and managed second place in 3 months over the year.  The first nominee for the Geekfreek Award is BourneFan#1!

[JJ-8]

And so it continues,

 

Our next weekend is similar in many ways to the ROI award except it's all about how many $ you earnt for the % spent.  Were you wise with the amount of % you spent.  It's the Best Investor Award.

 

the Nominees are (i'm not listing the investments this time as it's about the $ moreso against %.

 

 @Exxdee who invested a total of 1530%.

 

 @lucasbenica who invested a total of 1220%.

 

 @Simionski who invested a total of 2985%.

 

 @The Panda who invested a total of 385% (and yes he invested in 9 movies meaning he met the minimum requirements.)
