Big changes!!

[MovieMan89]

Woohoo, climbing back up! A good week and I can get back in the top 5.

[MovieMan89]

Damn, I'd be 1k behind you B if I had abstained from just one of the two questions I got wrong on SOTM 9! GRR!!!

[iceroll]

Well I guess after failing question 4 and getting question 10 right I end up not changing much at all.

[HeyItsMoses]

Infamous:Glad to see that I'm not the only one.My numbers aren't that far off from yours..MIB3: $168,063,282SWATH: $144,760,813PROM: $131,353,535

Just curious on what you answered for this SOTM, cause I noticed you got 0 points.

[HeyItsMoses]

Baumer, you got my points wrong.I was at 396kBut then with the last 3 Preseason scores, I scored: -10k, +15k, +15k.396k - 10k + 15k + 15k = 416k, not 401k.Are you sure you've been scoring my points right so far? I mean, forgetting to add 15k gives me the impression that what if other parts have been not scored properly either. Then again, I wouldn't know, I just noticed this; so I trust you that everything is good. But yeah, I'm at 416k, not 401k!

Dude,I have asked you a million times that if there is a problem with scoring, pm me. I don't need you or anyone questioning me in this forum. PM's work best. And this is a game that requires you to actually read the posts from time to time. I explained why I took a 0 instead of the full points that I should have. I was the only person who got SOTM 5 correct, THE ONLY ONE, but I took 0 because Shawn could not find me a screen shot of my original post and that was one of the questions I had changed by 1000, then dropped it back to where it was originally. But out of the fairness of the game, I didn't take points for that.It would do you some good to keep up with the game and not just bitch about a scoring mistake.

[HeyItsMoses]

Oh yeah, the PMing. Gotcha. Thanks though.

[narniadis]

eek... those preseason ones are killing me....

[MovieMan89]

And right back down to 10 again.

[iceroll]

I probably should check my scoring totals but I'm too lazy/apathetic.

[Fake]

Wow, only a handful of people got the France question right. Vast majority of us put yes. Even Fake missed it!

Blame it on the exchange rate. If it had remained what it was before the summer began, IA4 might have made 60M.

[baumer]

Guys keep in mind, at the end of the game I try to do a recap of my scoring. So if there are some scoring errors I try to fix them. I do encourage u to check your scores as well. Nut rest assured I do audit myself at the end of the game.

[Ariadne]

There are a couple of questions that are really going to come down to the wire.

The UK question, this question:

Question 12:

Will TDKR and The Avengers combined make more this summer than the other top 5 films combined (domestic only)? As in the next 3? Yes. IF the next 5, then, no.

Answer it correctly: 15000 points

Answer it incorrectly: lose 10,000 points

Choose not to answer ( and you must state that you are not answering..failing to do so will automatically result in a loss of 10,000 points) 3000 points.

and

Will The Amazing Spider-man have a better gross than TDKR in any of these three regions: ABSTAIN

Japan

China

South Korea

Answer it correctly: 25,000 points

Answer it incorrectly: lose 15,000 points

Choose not to answer ( and you must state that you are not answering..failing to do so will automatically result in a loss of 15,000 points) 5000 points.

Isn't the answer to quesion 12 a guaranteed yes?

[Fake]

Isn't the answer to quesion 12 a guaranteed yes?

No.

Avengers - 620M

TDKR - 430M

Total - 1050M

TASM - 260M

Brave - 230M

Ted - 215M

Mad - 215M

MIB3 - 180M

Total - 1100M

[MovieMan89]

Question 12 says the OTHER top 5 films not the NEXT top 5 films combined. I took this to mean exactly that, the other films in the top 5, as in films 3-5. I will be upset if I get that wrong, because I don't feel that was clearly stated to mean films 3-7 if that's what it was supposed to mean.

[baumer]

Yes, I can see where the confusion would come from that question movieman. I did mean it the way Fake has it illustrated but it is not clear and I can't expect you guys to read minds. I will wait to see if they do finish with more than the other five films and if that is the case, then the answer no matter what will be yes. But if it does not then I will have to give both the yes and no answers full points.

[Ariadne]

Yeah, I took it to mean the other 3 films in the top 5.

[baumer]

Yep, my mistake.
