In my other league we have 18 players and I had second pick, lol. 32 films gone before I pick again!

Draft day is exciting, isn't it? Lol

Alright people, let's get started! Once you make your choice, you may not change it or edit your post. And please use the mention feature to tag the next person! Good luck!

Just follow the lead of that PM I sent out, and don't fret. You pick some movies and some actors, and then if you never want to stress out, you can literally never change a thing ever and your job is done

Spreadsheet, to follow along: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ycy_Xz-Rrl6ugP50FPs7RlnDqWFNlC2OeSpuMS1s3_g/edit?usp=sharing Draft results: Film Rounds Round 1 1. DharmaHelper - A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood 2. Mongoose - Once Upon A Time in Hollywood 3. JaggedJimmyJay - The Irishman 4. ...

I'm going to create the draft thread, but it won't start until April 1st!

For the newbies: Here is a link to last season's spreadsheet. http://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_155374992288113&key=e4fd14f5d7f2bb6d80b8f8da1354718c&libId=jts6jrb6010219cm000MA3qxkvs93&subId=eff897eb925cd39f601f40878eafce76&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mafiathesyndicate....

We got this, no worries!

Randomized draft order from random.org:

1. DharmaHelper
2. Mongoose
3. JaggedJimmyJay
4. novaselinenever
5. sabie12
6. Jackofhearts2005
7. speedchuck
8. raz_zaa
9. timmer
10. dunya

Draft will start April 1st! Only movies opening in North America as of May 1st will count! Sorry, no Avengers!

Near the end of March, I'll randomize a draft order, and we will start drafting April 1st!

Russian doll is pure genius. The finale made me drunk cry.

Sweet, with 8 we can at least launch, but we don't start until April 1st, so between now and then let's try to find more players, and to the first-timers, I'll send you a PM at some point giving you a condensed, easy version of how to play, to get you set up

Rule 1. Pick a bunch of films .
Rule 2. Watch me win.

Its an easy game, really.

Even at 8 people, we wel need to alter the rules a bit...

May have to trim a round.

I think we need at least 8 players, but it should result work better with at least 10...

Mr. Sock locked only big box office movies and almost made it to round 3. You should play!

[mention]juliets[/mention] [mention]Mongoose[/mention] I hope you will play this year!

Season 1 is in the dust, riding off into the sunset with a Favourite Green Book full of Vice.... Who will win Season 2? Are you in? The draft will start April 1st. The rules: Each studio head will draft a roster of 5 films and 10 actors to compete with for the season. Just like real world studios, y...

Yup, signups will open in a few days for the next season. Start canvassing people

I'm drunk and lousy count but I just won.

Running tally

Timmer 43 (Green Book 10, Vice 9, The Favourite 14, Bradley Cooper 1, Viggo Mortensen 1, Mahershala Ali 4, Rachel Weisz 1, Mary Queen of Scots 2)
JJJ 23 (BlacKkKlansman 14, Rami Malek 5, If Beale Street Could Talk 4)
Dunya 16 (Roma 16)

Good luck tomorrow, guys! I'll try to update points as we go!

Uhm, Robert Kraft is in doodoo.

Yup, I think your chances of an upset are better then you think!

So Dunya, you need Roma to pretty much sweep. Best pic would be +9, best director +4, best screenplay +4, the rest +1 each. You have a max possible point total of 34. JJJ, you also need a near sweep. You need klansman to win BP (+9), and director (+4), either klansman or Beale Street to take screenp...

Timmer 29 (Green Book 5, Vice 8, The Favourite 10, Bradley Cooper 1, Viggo Mortensen 1, Mahershala Ali 1, Rachel Weisz 1, Mary Queen of Scots 2)
JJJ 10 (BlacKkKlansman 6, Rami Malek 1, If Beale Street Could Talk 3)
Dunya 10 (Roma 10)

With only costumes guild left to pick a winner, our Oscar trio is set: Timmer, Dunya and JJJ.

Nominee points coming up!

Did you know that :llama: and :Mongoose: started a film-related YouTube channel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVNfnpp8QkA&t=316s Dudes! That was awesome to watch, I'm subscribing immediately ! "Abjectly terrible" is the correct answer in regards to PJ's KK. And fave Jimmy Stewart f...

You are, Rico can only pick up at best 1 more point.

Rami Malek.

Round 5 is actually well on the way to complete! Only a few guilds left to pick winners: Timmer 44 JJJ 15 Dunya 15 Ricochet 8 PGA winner: Green Book (Timmer +9) SAG winners: Rami Malek (JJJ +4), Mahershala Ali (Timmer +4/+1) ADG winners: The Favourite (Timmer +1) ASC winner: 0 ACE winner: The Favour...

Round 5, the guilds. The nomination points are:

Timmer 28
JJJ 11
Dunya 11
Ricochet 8

Some guilds have announced winners already so I'll check into that.

The Baftas just happened, so let's add in winners points: Timmer 43 (The Favourite 21, Green Book 4, Vice 7, Bradley Cooper 1, Mary Queen of Scots 3, Rachel Weisz 5, Viggo Mortensen 1, Amy Adams 1) Dunya 26 (Roma 22, Emma Stone 1, Timothee Chalamet 1, Beautiful Boy 1, Cynthia Erivo 1) Ricochet 10 (F...

Green Book is what happens when "that white guy with a black friend" decides to write a movie. If you don't think about anything, it's a pleasant little film. But it's somewhere near the end, around the moment where a scene with a nice cop shows up, existing for no narrative purpose at all...

Man A Star Is Born fizzled so much it couldn't even get a directing nod... crazy...

Ultimately you figured out how to adapt in the game s environment and I didn't, and that alone is reason enough for you to get the win.

I felt like the remnant played very well in this game. Timmer and Bob were so hard to read as Mafia in the end I had my own POE and that's the only reason I figured them out. DDL got stitched up by info. TH killed n1. I think that's partly why I snapped, lol. I came into this with a plan to play my...

It's close between 3 people, I'd say.

Thx for the game LC /BR!

dunya wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 2:03 am Are you still in the game on your other forum, timmer?

I made it through the globes but I've got a mealy 3 nomination points at bafta.if they don't become wins I'll be out...

I love your focus, man! Ok, so round 4 is now the baftas, who announce their winners in a few weeks. Points on noms: Timmer 27 (The Favourite 11, Green Book 3, Vice 6, Bradley Cooper 1, Mary Queen of Scots 3, Rachel Weisz 1, Viggo Mortensen 1, Amy Adams 1) Dunya 11 (Roma 7, Emma Stone 1, Timothee Ch...

You know, in hindsight I should have stuck with the original schedule. So round 4 is now baftas, round 5 the guilds. JJJ is back in! I'll work out baftas nomination points tomorrow.

I guess I could have put that to a vote? Do you guys want the baftas back in?

Golden wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 9:08 pm Hey timmer, did we cut the baftas round somewhere along the way?

Yeah we just didn't have enough players to warrant that many rounds. And the critics choice and baftas tend to be similar so it made sense to drop one.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 12:48 am Lmao what's the BO start Date? April 1st again? (RIP Marvel monies)

We draft in April, for films that open May 1st and onwards.

Lol... it's only 3 months away!

Current points in round 5 (but first bafta)

Timmer 28
JJJ 11
Dunya 11
Golden 8
Ricochet 8

Here are the tiebreak rules. In the case of a tie during any round, a winner must be determined between the tying studios. To settle this, the points each studio acquired in nominations will be removed. That means which ever studio earned the most points based solely on wins will advance. If this pr...

I'll double check in the morning but I've got:

Timmer - 53
Dunya - 29
Ricochet - 27
JJJ - 20
Golden- 20
DH 17

So DH I'm sorry you are out, and I'll check the tiebreak rules in a bit.
