Chasmmi's Winter Game | In a big shock | Wrath & The old man (Tele) crash the party stealing the win from Jake Gittes.... DamienRoc crashed and burned.....

[Eric Duncan]

Bombed Week 1, but I'm shocked I got in the top five on Week 2.

[Fancyarcher]

Ugh, after such a strong start I totally bombed in week 3. Gotta do better next time.

[Wrath]

Heh. Just realized I posted the best weekly score for week 2 despite getting one of the very worst scores on the actual questions.

 

The lesson? The Winter Game... finds a way.

I like using the Winter Game to experiment with the odd new points scoring quirk or SOTM style when I can.

 

Am interested in how popular/unpopular/irrelevant the tweaks to Part 2 scoring system are with folks.  

 

 

[DAJK]

Looking like another mediocre/bad season for me so far

[chasmmi]

Oh btw, quick announcement for y'all, this upcoming weekly question and SOTM i being created, overseen and commandeered by JJ-8. 

 

You can decide for yourself whether this is good or bad news

So Dark Tower got moved to a later date.

 

What happens if you have it in your top 15?

You lose 10K, and the gross gets nothing. If it was an answer in a preseason question, you now get points equal to abstaining.

Preseason questions:

 

6. Yes. Madea will only need about 10-12M more after this weekend.

17. This one is going to be close. For my sake, it better open lower than TDW  

25. Yes. Ouija had a 49% drop.

You ask yourself "wtf was I thinking?" to have a late February release in your top 15 even if it hadn't moved.

Lol, but wasn't DT's original release like the weekend the game ends? Would've needed like 85m+ OW for a good shot at top 15.

I think Dark Tower could've made 75-80 m in 10 days.

 

All it needed was 40-45 m OW

SOTM 4 is up folks... have fun

 

 

[Wrath]

Argh, forgot to answer question 2 last week. I'll make up for it by rocking this week.

[JJ-8]

Righto... go get em cause week 4 is up and about.....

 

[WrathOfHan]

More new answers:

 

17. No. This was a nail biter; 700k was the difference from TDW.

30. Now that Kidnap has been pulled, the answer is almost definitely December 2.
