chasmmi Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Ok as for Black Tower: Preseason Question 21: If you predicted answer 1 then your prediction is now automatically abstain (Even if the other three outgross 2,3 and 4 alone). If you predicted 2, 3, or 4 then your answer is still live but it is only a three horse race. For other potential issues... The FAQ in post (I think 3 or 4) says: Q. The film I predicted in my top 15/7/10/5 got moved out of the release window of the game. What happens to that prediction? If the schedule changes before the start of the game, then you are free to change this prediction to a new film. If it happens after the game begins, or you do not notice in time, then it is just hard luck Points wise you would only score the negative 10,000 for having an incorrect placement and would not lose extra for your gross being 40M more than $0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the top 5 are pretty much set in stone, and the next ~8 aren't quite that certain but a really high % of people are going to consistently guess mostly the same ones. But the last couple spots are going to all be like (5/24), (6/24), (3/24) and such when they get posted. Edit - Wow. I'm glad I dumped Inferno and all, but Week 1 and 2 might have been my best back-to-back Weekly performances, ever.
