Re: SHRYKE'S THREAD - Check for the latest developments

[A_Roode]

Updated non-entered/postponed films list:

August season starts today, and the following players still have not entered:

A_Roode

... didn't I just say that?

[Shrykespeare]

Good news, all:

I just received an e-mail from my Italian contact and he tells me that the next league on the MMC website should be open on Aug 25 and start on Sep 4.

Woo hoo!

[Shrykespeare]

I've only gotten six entries for pricing schemes for Sep-Nov so far, including myself.

I know that Chien is out of the country and ozzy will not be able to do one. I hope I can count on the following:

JackO
Banks
Roode
jas
wrestler


And if anyone else wants to give it a try, let me know.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

About to do mine now.

[delfinasu]

Shryke, you forgot mine

[Shrykespeare]

I didn't forget you, delf. Yours is one of the six that I've received (seven, now, with Banks).

[numbersix_99]

And me!

[A_Roode]

I'll try tomorrow night Shryke but I'm under a time crunch and am going to shortly be without internet for a week.

I'll see what I can do though...

[Shrykespeare]

I have received lists so far from:

Buscemi
delfinasu
numbersix
Banks
W
undeadmonkey
jas_8382

And, of course, myself. That means that if I throw out the top and bottom numbers, there will be five numbers to average. That's good, but I'd like at least one or two others.

[thswrestler160]

I'll have mine in tomorrow. Just been busy at work lately

[Shrykespeare]

Players who still have Shutter Island on one or more of their slates:

Chienfantome (who is on vacation in Korea)
Dantic
Donte77
jfs556
leestu
mfrendo
silversurfer
thegreenarrow
undeadmonkey



Some news in the BO tournaments, particularly the HY tournament. chugsthemonkey, who was in no danger of being eliminated in Round One, has told me that he wants to pull out of the BO tournament due to lack of interest (he's pretty much strictly an Ultimate player). What this means is that one person who would have been cut next week will now survive.

I have plugged Monday's numbers from BOM into the grid, and here are the down-to-the-wire races in the two BO tournaments (I'll be updating this all week).


FULL YEAR

23. Dantic (HP6, 500DoS) (has an IM)
24. wcrew2000 - $26M behind (GF, AITA, TTW, D9, IB) (has an IM)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. jjtkaze - $29.3M behind (UT, Halloween 2) (does not have an IM)

wcrew should pass Dantic easily, which means it will all depend on H2's first three days.



HALF YEAR

42. TBB (Ugly Truth)
43. Lordagoth - $21.0M behind (GI Joe)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
44. numbersix - $21.4M behind (500DoS, FP, D9)

I think Lordagoth is toast.

[Buscemi]

Toast. All toasters toast toast.

[silversurfer19]

I once had a toaster which refused to make toast. As good as I ever got was warm bread. Needless to say, that toaster is now toast.... Oh the irony.

[Buscemi]

Looks like you needed Mario to see what the problem was.

[Shrykespeare]

I have plugged Tuesday's numbers from BOM into the grid, and here are the down-to-the-wire races in the two BO tournaments.


FULL YEAR

23. Dantic (HP6, 500DoS) (has an IM)
24. wcrew2000 - $18.2M behind (GF, AITA, TTW, D9, IB) (has an IM)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. jjtkaze - $29.5M behind (UT, Halloween 2) (does not have an IM)




HALF YEAR

42. TBB (Ugly Truth)
43. numbersix - $19.3M behind (500DoS, FP, D9)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
44. Lordagoth - $20.2M behind (GI Joe)

[Shrykespeare]

After Wednesday's numbers:


FULL YEAR

23. Dantic (HP6, 500DoS) (has an IM)
24. wcrew2000 - $11.6M behind (GF, AITA, TTW, D9, IB) (has an IM)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. jjtkaze - $27.5M behind (UT, Halloween 2) (does not have an IM)

Dantic, by a tiny margin, actually has gained on jjtkaze a little bit. I am very doubtful that Halloween 2 will pull the $30M needed for him to survive.



HALF YEAR

42. TBB (Ugly Truth)
43. numbersix - $17.6M behind (500DoS, FP, D9)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
44. Lordagoth - $19.6M behind (GI Joe)

Just about over.

Shryke i should be able to bang out a review for Inglorious Basterds on Monday. I have to work on some school assignments for the next two days i get to go back on Wednesday fun fun

[Shrykespeare]

I've been informed by our Italian player "donnie" that the second MMG WAR league is up and running. However, I cannot link to it from the 1st league. Can anyone else find it?

[donnie]

Hi guys,
here's the email that I'm just sent to Shryke.

For now, you must register here:

http://www.provolona.com/mmgmogul/registration.php

and you will be in your new private League (Fantaverse). You can buy movies and you can see other players of that league in the link above posters, as usual.
For the registration, at the moment, put in "Shrykespeare2" and "A new hope2" (or a new name). Within this weekend, we'll finish the new user panel and you will able to create and join to other leagues with the same account.

Summing up:
- to see final ranks of the "June-August" league, login with your old nick and password in http://www.provolona.com/mmgmogul/indexe.php;

- to register and see the new "Sept.-Nov" league, login with a new account: you will be automatically in Fantaverse 2. (after registration, the page for login is the same: http://www.provolona.com/mmgmogul/indexe.php but put in new accounts.)

- in the next days, with a new user panel, you'll be able to create and join in other private leagues with other Studios (if you want) with this same new account.
If you want, you can join the MMGWAR2, for example, with the same account and a new Studio.

Sorry for this "teaser passage", but we prefer open the new League not too late and that players start to buy movies (the 9/4 is incoming!) while, at the same time, we work to finish the new user panel in time for the beginning of the league.

If you have problems (with, "gmail" accounts, for example), let me know.
Bye!

[Shrykespeare]

Thanks, donnie! I was just about to put this notice up!

(And congrats on your first post!)

BTW: I noticed you have "Red Canvas" on your slate. It has been postponed to 2010.

[Buscemi]

I can't find the register page.

[Shrykespeare]

Try this link, everybody:

http://www.provolona.com/mmgmogul/registration.php


Remember not to use the same username or studio name that you used before. Just add a "2" to the end of your monicker.

[Buscemi]

Wow, This Is It is $23? For a two week run?

[donnie]

Thanks, donnie! I was just about to put this notice up!

(And congrats on your first post!)

BTW: I noticed you have "Red Canvas" on your slate. It has been postponed to 2010.

Ok Shryke,
but, on Boxofficemojo, The red canvas is confirmed on 9/11, while IMDB refers 2010.

We usually use BOM as a source, but if you confirm that this news is reported even on other sites, we will cancel The red canvas from the slot.

[Buscemi]

FilmJerk.com also lists 2010. February 26th, 2010 to be exact.
