Community Manager Water Bottle Posted April 1, 2012 Community Manager Share Posted April 1, 2012 This game is dead.R.I.PNo it's not.Year 2 Oscars are dead. I think we should begin Year 3 soon while we wait for Year 2 Oscar nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShark Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think we should get back to the roots of this game. The plots become longer and longer, this is maybe why people can´t get that much afford into this. Often only long-written films do big numbers here. I think Wikipedia-esque plots would be enough. So people can write more films and we can go on faster with the years. I also get tired of writing long plots like the first SpellForce in Y1. Just as a suggestion. I´ll only write plots with max ~ 1000 words from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creator Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I agree with you. I know in the previous CAYOM I was the biggest culprit of long plots; even my fillers ended up long sometimes. That's what drained my the most, and it made the years drag on. Plus reading all the long films was tedious.so hoping the game stays alive, when I come back my plots will be substantially shorter. I just don't have the time to write huge films anymore, and because all mine were deleted, none will be copy-and-paste from the old CAYOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 We can do some changes, but really is it so hard to read a few Y2 films and post nominees? I mean you can do that on the way to work, so we can crack on Y3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShark Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think we should just skip the Oscars.... it seems that nobody (including me) is interested in Y2 anymore. I´m really anticipating Y3 right now, since I´ve made my decision in writing only shorter plots (also for sequels). I think if everybody write only shorter plots the game moves on faster and become more fun again. I´m currently thinking of about 6-8 films for Y3 for example with plots between 400-1300 words. Not more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobThePizzaBoy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Just had a great idea for a CAYOM movie I'm going to do when school let's out. I never could have done it with the Pupaphobia franchise going on but I have an idea for a puppet film even bigger. Think Who Framed Roger Rabbit with puppets instead of toons. Not exactly original, but I'm excited to write it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShark Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Ok I don´t know how many players still read the topics in here or if anybody beside me wants to play this game again but I´m already writing on my new films for Y3. Just skip Y2 and start Y3... please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted April 28, 2012 Community Manager Share Posted April 28, 2012 Okay, so I have some free time next week. I'll submit my Oscar nominations. I encourage everyone who has time to submit them. Once Oscar voting is under way, I'll create the Part III thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I will work on mine during the next week as well. I hope we can get this going again. I'm thinking part of the downtime has to do with the lag on the site/the BOT site not redirecting here anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creator Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It took me all of thirty minutes to read the good films (which were few and far between) this year. If I can do that, anyone can, especially those of you who actually participated this year.From the looks of it, though, I'm not sure if I will be participating in Year 3 if the game persists at this snail pace.

It's when people playing the game drift away absent-mindedly that things slow down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 We can't move on until we know for sure that people will finish their project they signed up to. Year 3 starts reading Year 2. I have my Oscar list, juts would welcome some FYC in certain categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShark Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I just posted my Oscar list. Was pretty tough but well not the best year ;)Hopefully we can start Y3 soon.Maybe this game gets back on track if everybody writes more films with shorter plots so it can become more fun again.

4815162342 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 The Oscar picks have finally picked up.WB/Electric, if you two could also throw in some picks that would be awesome. Things have finally begun moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager Water Bottle Posted May 2, 2012 Community Manager Share Posted May 2, 2012 If I don't have them done by the end of tomorrow, just assume I won't be doing them. I'm trying my best but alas, college keeps on piling work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
