Summer Movie Wager

August is here. We're in the endgame now and Lion King is going to be our champion.

I think pretty much the top 5 is set by now. But down in the lower rankings Fast&Furious Presents: Hobbs&Shaw can still make a slight impact. But let's look at them scores.

1. Cap_H: 69 points (+20)
2. kentona: 66 points (+18)
3. Addit: 52 points (+1)
3. Shinan: 52 points (-9)
5. oddRABBIT: 50 points (+13)
6. pianotm: 42 points (+5)
7. AtiyaTheSeeker 39 points (+11)
8. kory_toombs: 33 points (+3)

Currently Cap_H has managed to predict #1 AND #10 and they are worth 13 points each. And it's entirely possible those are the final 1s and 10s. Because Once Upon a Time in America will probably beat Rocketman (current #9) and Hobbs & Shaw will probably beat out both of those (making Once Upon a Time #10)

The battle for top spot just got quite intense. Cap has H&S at 7th and kentona has it at 6th, the placement of that movie is probably going to decide the whole thing!

[Poll] Going off and creating a new online identity. Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure it's against RMN's rules to have more than 1 account.
Except that one time, when one person had 3 accounts... And wasn't punished for it.

I mean it happens more often than you think. Usually people PM someone with "hey I used to have this other account." and then we answer "Alright, if you are now this new person we'll go ahead and quietly ban the old one."

[Poll] Going off and creating a new online identity. Thoughts?

I've only had alternate IDs for short amounts of time if I've wanted to be semi-anonymous somewhere for a bit. But I've generally always abandoned them. In the last ten-ish years I don't think I've changed it up at all.

In fact nowadays I try to openly link every single one of my accounts so that it should be easy to find me out there. And if someone was interested they could probably dig up just about anything I've done in the last twenty years.

But I also kinda stopped caring about the fact that anyone I know from anywhere could potentially read what I'm writing. (except for the bit where I always consider anything I say and write online to be completely public)

Issues with BBCode for Media Submission

The issue might be that the youtube tag only accepts full youtube links and not shortened ones.

[MAFIA] Prisoner's Dilemma. Game Over

Wait a minute. A werewolf game where I can actually choose to be a regular townsperson. I can do that.

Well another month has passed so time to check up on some movies!

There's been some rather big disappointments (in that they haven't made money, no judgement on the quality of the actual films) which is shaping up to make this quite interesting.

Now Spider-Man is just days away to completely mess up the rankings. But for now these are the rankings that Toy Story 4 has managed to stir up.

Current Rankings (might be wrong because last time I doublechecked after posting and some of my point values were wrong, but whatever who checks, right?):
Shinan: 46 points (+38)
Addit: 40 points (+17)
pianotm: 39 points (+15)
oddRABBIT: 36 points (+10)
Cap_H: 33 points (+20)
kory_toombs: 32 points (+18)
kentona: 30 points (+21)
AtiyaTheSeeker: 24 points (+8)

I noticed I had quite the rise in this month. That's because Men in Black and Dark Phoenix underperformed and are currently at the bottom of the top10, meaning they'll drop out very soon turning my current 14 points for those into 0 points...

(Current top10 1.Aladdin 310m, 2. Toy Story 4, 250m, 3 John Wick 3, 160m, 4. Pokemon, 140m, 5. Pets 2, 130m, 6. Godzilla 2, 110m, 7. Rocketman 85m, 8. Men in Black, 70m, 9. Dark Phoenix, 65m, 10. Ma, 45m)
