baumer Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Again very very early but i have a question for all of u and as many opinions as possible are welcome. Is there anything you would like to see done differently this year? I cant promise any change but i would like your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Again very very early but i have a question for all of u and as many opinions as possible are welcome. Is there anything you would like to see done differently this year? I cant promise any change but i would like your thoughts. Well, honestly, I always found this game to be a little bit too simple overall. I mean in Box Office Alliance and Box Office Survivor you have special games that go differently, write ups, and things like that make the game overall more entertaining. I know that BoA and BoS are different because they are elimination games, but you could do something like, I don't know, depending on the score each week (eg: If I was place 1 this week and CJohn second, the next week we would receive a set of special questions and we would go head to head, the winner receiving a certain amount of points over the other one.). Now... It's just a example that just popped into my mind, but you could add some things like this to spice up the game a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Creator's ideas but I think we are going to keep the H2H Survivor type stuff to those games.But it's a great suggestion, I just don't think it fits here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 How about also predicting the top 5 lowest grossing films of the summer. (Maybe from a list of say the 50 or whatever highest profile films to be released during the game period?) Or maybe that's a little too much work involved there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm pretty sure what separates this BSG from the rest is this game is simple!Which is a good thing. I would like to see more SOTM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I think you should keep SOTM 2 from the winter game (predict the # film every week in advance) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I think a points overhaul would be good. The points structure change for the Winter Game were better but I think they can still be improved a bit. The difficulty and points didn't quite scale together in previous games, especially for the top 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difficulty and points didn't quite scale together in previous games, especially for the top 12.The top 12 will always be important. The game was built on the top 12. That's why the more accurate you are the more points you get. I might work out a system where you know in advance (like a semester in college) what each category will be worth to your score % wise. But the top 12 will always be worth the most as this game was devised so that people would put up or shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 The top 12 is my fav part even though i usually suck at it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
