Movie Survival Game
« on: July 12, 2007, 07:53:50 PM »
Alright, let's try one of these.

The object of this game is to declare a single movie as a winner between a bunch of films.

*******RULES*******  :readthis:
  • We first need to have a category. Let's start with something everybody should be familiar with. So this will be: FILMS DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG
  • All his films start off with 10 points. You will then add 2 points for your favorite and subtract 2 points for the one you hate/dislike the most. Type the points in bold.
  • You can take 2 points off of one movie or take 1 of two movies.
  • If you haven't seen some of the movies, you can either ignore them for now (eventually they will begin to lose points because you'll be cheering for your favorite and there won't be a lot movies left) or you can be evil and start subtracting points to them. It's your choice.
  • You will have to copy/paste the whole list from the previous post and add/subtract the points there.
  • At the bottom, you will type how you divided the points. If you want to, you can add a comment regarding how you added/subtracted the points.
  • When a film reaches 0, that movie will be taken off the list.
  • Only one movie will be declared as winner
  • You are not allowed to make double posts. At the very least you will have to wait until one person has added/subtracted their points.
  • The last person to post will declare the winner, and will start with the next category, it can be just about anything you may like

What do we do with movies we haven't seen ?  Do we just ingored them ?

I also need to clarify something in the rules even though I did  :readthis: ;)

We have to add 2 points to our favorite but for substracting we can either go 2 points or 2 times 1 point ?

Ok, I added a rule for those movies you haven't seen.

About the add 2 points to your fave and substracting 2 points or two times 1 point, that is correct. I'm not sure why, though, :laugh: I've always seen it done like that.

NOTE TO DJ DOENA:

 :readthis:
Remember to copy the whole list and add/substract there as well.

Your post should read like this:

Munich (2005) - 12 points
War of the Worlds (2005) - 10 points
The Terminal (2004) - 10 points
Catch Me If You Can (2002) - 10 points
Minority Report (2002) - 10 points
AI: Artificial Intelligence (2001) - 8 points
Saving Private Ryan (1998) - 10 points
Amistad (1997) - 10 points
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) - 10 points
Schindler's List (1993) - 10 points
Jurassic Park (1993) - 10 points
Hook (1991) - 8 points
Always (1989) - 10 points
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) - 10 points
Empire of the Sun (1987) - 10 points
The Color Purple (1985) - 10 points
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) - 10 points

Jaws (1975) - 10 points
The Sugarland Express (1974) - 10 points
Something Evil (1972) - 10 points
Duel (1971) - 10 points

E.T. +2
A.I. -2

This is for better clarification and because this way, we don't need moderation in the game, it can run on its own.  :)

PS... As I was typing this post, I got my index finger stuck in between the 'e' & 'r' keys. So I'm holding Lyonsden personally responsible for my injury, I believe I'm being victimized as a result of his constant threats and blackmail just because I voted off the Hook contrib... I mean film. Thus, he is in violation of the rules and is abusing his voodoo privileges.  >:(
