The Syndicate

Lol I had gotten so little into this game, my laptop was still logged in as a sock.

Hey all just an FYI that I'm traveling for the next 48 hours, I will tune in when I can

Apparently I can run massive, intricate, 20+ player games but cannot manage a 9-person all vanilla affair. :) I thought I could be more efficient by just mentioning everyone here rather than sending out (what I thought were) needless role PMs to vanillas. Lesson learned. Individual PMs have to go o...

We are an Ibanez family, but personally I would only ever want to be a rhythm guitar type support player

I'm here! sorry!

My fave guitarist is John Petrucci

I think I'm going to pass on running this this year, wec realistically should have like 8 active players and we have 3

Honestly, nights like last night are what we love this game... what a historic win! Congrats DH! But... I won't run this again unless we can find a few more active players, it's a lot of work for me for just 3 of us, lol... even Mongoose has never checked in since the draft.

And ties are broken by who got the most points from wins, so..... yeah DH won the fucking game

Final Round - The Oscars Best Picture - Parasite (DH +9) Best Actress - Renee Zellwegger (DH +4) Best Director - Parasite (DH +4) Best Song - Rocketman (Timmer +1) International Film - Parasite (DH +1) Visual Effects - 1917 (Mongoose +1) Cinematography - 1917 (Mongoose +1) Soung Mixing - 1917 (Mongo...

I mean... the BP and BD wins alone give you 13 more points, you very well may have, I won't have time to make an official count util later today... I know I got 4 for screenplay for JoJo and that's it atm... fuck it, I'll start counting, lol...

It is what it is.

Those dumb motherfuckers

Massive improvement from my shitshow last year. Now just gotta hope I land a decent draft spot. Much harder to get a good grasp of the field for 2020, though I will try closer to draft time and see if I can pull together a strategy We need to find more players, tbh, we can't keep running this with ...

Final Round - The Oscars JaggedJimmyJay (14) - The Irishman (10), Maleficent 2 (1), Cynthia Erivo (1), Scarlett Johansson (2) Timmer (21) - Jojo Rabbit (6), Marriage Story (6), Harriet (2), Rocketman (1), Leonardo DiCaprio (1), Adam Driver (1), Johnathan Pryce (1), Charlize Theron (1), Anthony Hopki...

True, you would earn one more pt, so Raz has a tall order ahead...

Round 5 - BAFTA AND THE SHOW IS STARTING IN MERE HOURS! [mention]Mongoose[/mention], [mention]DharmaHelper[/mention], [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention], [mention]Raz_Zaa[/mention] Mongoose (25) - 1917 (9), Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (10), Judy (3), Taron Egerton (1), Laura Dern (1), Awkwafina (1)...

Round 4 is over! Sorry to [mention]Dunya[/mention], you have been eliminated, thanks for playing! DH (28) - Parasite (DGA,ACE(2),PGA,ADG(2),WGA(5),SAG(2)), A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (CDG,ADG,WGA,SAG), Knives Out (CDG(2),ACE,PGA,ADG,WGA), Renee Zellwegger (SAG(5)) Mongoose (38) - 1917 (DGA(...

WGA winners - Parasite and Jojo Rabbit, each gets 4 more pts to go to 5 total.
ADG winners - Parasite, Once Upon A Time inHollywood (and Avengers: Endgame and Toy Story 4) - each gets another pt to go to 2 total.

CDG - Winners were Jojo Rabbit, Knives Out and Maleficent 2, each of which just earned another point.

prob should have been a double box office trim, but oh well, next time!

Except only 3 go to the final round.....

Although we DID have one extra player this year, so... we never really discussed it, did we? Okay, top 4 will head to the finals!

CAS - Ford v Ferrari = +1 more pt for Raz.
DGA - 1917 = +4 more pts for Mongoose.
ASC - 1917 = +1 more pt for Mongoose.

Point totals are updated a few posts above!

Since the BAFTA will hit roughly as the Guild round ends, here's a look at the current point totals: Mongoose (25) - 1917 (9), Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (10), Judy (3), Taron Egerton (1), Laura Dern (1), Awkwafina (1) JaggedJimmyJay (11) - The Irishman (9), Scarlett Johansson (2) DH (8) - Parasi...

Parasite is the most critically successful foreign language film since... maybe Crouching Tiger... it could definitely win director

Great game! Thanks, this was fun!

Oh no, if they win they are now worth 5, not 5 more. If you go back to last year that's always how I tallied the points. A bp win is worth 10 but that includes the 1 pt for the nom, so its +9 more, etc.

We could change that for next year but that's hookie I've always counted them.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 10:45 am Aren't actor wins worth 5 points?

Yes, that's why I put a 5 next to Renee! If you mean the ensemble category, no, that is worth only 2 for its film, as I don't think any of us were carrying individual actors from Parasite.

Updated with SAG winners!

Hey all... so I've never actually run a game of my own, despite playing mafia on and off for years. I've been slowly putting together my Wheel of Time game for EVER, and would love to get it finished and into the queue, but I need a co-host. I need someone who is familiar with the book series so I d...

And unsurprising... it was Mongoose.

Round 4 points - update DH (28) - Parasite (DGA,ACE(2),PGA,ADG(2),WGA(5),SAG(2)), A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (CDG,ADG,WGA,SAG), Knives Out (CDG(2),ACE,PGA,ADG,WGA), Renee Zellwegger (SAG(5)) Mongoose (38) - 1917 (DGA(5),ASC(2),PGA(10),ADG,WGA), Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (DGA,CAS,CDG,ACE...

You definitely paid the most attention this year, both Parasite and Knives Out were fairly late grabs, weren't they? Well done.

Round 4 points - Guild nominations, so far DH (15) - Parasite (DGA,ACE,PGA,ADG,WGA,SAG), A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (CDG,ADG,WGA,SAG), Knives Out (CDG,ACE,PGA,ADG,WGA), Renee Zellwegger (SAG) Mongoose (17) - 1917 (DGA,ASC,PGA,ADG,WGA), Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (DGA,CAS,CDG,ACE,ASC,PGA,...

Ok, we are going to go with the guilds first, all but 2 of them will announce their winners ahead of the bafta ceremony, and even those 2 outliers are on the same day as bafta.

Yeah I think Mongoose has this locked up tight

Tomorrow or the weekend, I'm going to check when the guilds will be announcing their winners, if they happen before bafta, the guilds will be our next round...

Round 3: Critics Choice Totals Mongoose (50) - 1917 (14), Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (27), Judy (3), Awkwafina (1), Laura Dern (5) Raz_Zaa (13) - Ford vs. Ferrari (5), The Lion King (2), Joaquin Phoenix (5), Tom Hanks (1) JaggedJimmyJay (18) - The Irishman (15), Cynthia Erivo (1), Scarlett Johans...

Its certainly something we can tweak for next time, if we try again next year

Like say, wins for... best foreign language film, Mr. Parasite owner?

@timmer is there a list of Guilds that count towards R5? Quite a few have announced already, let's see, there are... producers guild (pga), directors (dga), writers (wga), actors (sag), cinematographers (asc), editors (ace), costumes (cdg), effects (ves), makeup/hairstyling, sound mixers (cas), sou...

Lame.

I'm joining the Sorshva vote list.

I'll do a proper read up later tonight.

I'm here, I'm going to do a lightning catchup....

Round 2 total points (bottom 2 fall out of the competition) Mongoose (52) - 1917 (16), Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (19), Judy (2), Awkwafina (5), Taron Egerton (5), Laura Dern (5) JaggedJimmyJay (9) - The Irishman (5), The Report (1), Motherless Brooklyn (1), Cynthia Erivo (1), Scarlett Johansson ...

Just a reminder of the Golden Globe points system: "- Nomination: 1 point each (films earn 1 point for every nomination in any category, actors earn 1 point for every nomination they specifically earn, but not for ones their film earns) - Best Film win: 10 points (film selections only; for the...

So Mongoose had a good night, wow...

I'm so sorry guys, I got really detained by life today.

So, Creature is someone who I know absolutely nothing about. I need to know, how does he act in-thread with his baddie teammates? I can remember some times where a baddie teammate would tell me "look, I like to go after my teammates in the thread, just be aware" and stuff like that... doe...

Then Tony had his big post count vs vibe score post where he specifically called out Creature for appearing bad by that rationale, but then immediately dismissed it as meta-induced. And wow, truly sloonei's, mine and dizzy's votes were all posted at exactly 6:10, deadline was 6:11, so to be fair any...
