THE OFFICIAL 2013 FANTASY GAME THREAD v2.0

[Geezer]

10 million dollars has never seemed so far away. So close, yet so so far.

[empire13]

Okay, guys, this is a notice about the Trophy Room. All future updates to the Trophy Room standings will be made on my post at the top of page 3 of the thread. I was hoping there was a way to move my post to the front page, but Shryke informed me that the only way to do that would be to delete the entire thread and start from scratch, but I'm reluctant to do that considering the recent and shocking deletion of this thread. I hope jumping to the third page to view your impressive medal counts won't be too much of an inconvenience. This just proves that no change occurs without its hiccups!

[Geezer]

Empire, I can easily just copy your updated thread, and then edit the first post and paste it in.

[empire13]

Thanks, Geez. If it's that simple. I'm all for it as long as it remains my post so I can edit it in the future. I'd prefer it on the front page as I'm sure most of you would.

[Shrykespeare]

Read 'em and weep, fellas.

35. undeadmonkey, 10.5 pts (Star Trek, Fast & Furious 6, The Hangover 3, Epic… Now You See Me, 1 empty)

It’s going to be very close, but I believe that empire will take it this round, with Brockster right behind. And as for the Red Zone, I think the only change will be that TJB will vault over Walleye.

This is so tough to call. Half the field is either in the RZ or on the bubble.

35. DDR12, $452.9M (Star Trek, The Hangover 3)
36. TheJohnBenders, $410.8M (Fast & Furious 6, The Hangover 3)
37. swarehouse, $345.3M (Epic… Now You See Me)
38. redraider, $342.7M (The Hangover 3… 1 hidden, $4 unspent)

I think that jas will leapfrog JohnErle to safety, but both are protected by an IM anyway. And yes, I think that Chien/Fixius could climb all the way to a tie for the #2 spot in the final six days, with Walleye taking first. But it could be very close.

This is nuts. If my projections for the next week hold, then the top two spots will go to players who are in the Red Zone as of Sunday. Yes, I project Fixius and undeadmonkey to duke it out for the only IM of the round, thanks to their incredibly back-loaded slates. Meanwhile, it looks like audrey and sawbran may go from the Top 5 to the Red Zone equally quickly. Wow.

[Geezer]

Shryke, I just want to make sure that the points for Java Heat's IMDB score are factored into the final results, because it is not being taken into account over on the Italian site.

[Shrykespeare]

Don't worry, Geez. It is.

[Chienfantome]

Damn, I feel like I'm gonna lose my Top spots in both Ultimate tournies on the last weekend. So If I can climb at the last minute in BO HY, that would compensate a bit.

[Walleye413]

Dang! That's a lot of pressure on the last weekend At least it'll be interesting, no matter where I end up. Good luck all!

[empire13]

Damn! First time all year that I didn't make my Ultimate HY and Ultimate Regulars slates the same as my Ultimate FY. Might have won a third Regulars league in five months. Now, we'll never know. And, yes, the high pitched whine that you can't hear, but is driving your dog crazy right now, is me.

[Shrykespeare]

Based on this weekend's projections, here is how the March-May Super Leagues are shaping up:


Ultimate FY R3

Empire has this one by a mile, but he already has an IM. Brockster is looking to edge out Chien, Shonenbat and ColoredXIII for #2, so he can get one as well.

At the bottom, alyson, Fixius, Walleye and swarehouse are definitely out. TheJohnBenders is likely the fifth one in the RZ, as he is a few point shy of UDM, who will move on despite only seven films on his roster.


Ultimate HY R3

Victory looks to be going to Shonenbat, if Before Midnight can score some more PTA points this weekend. If not, first place will (again) go to kblane

Definitely out are undeadmonkey, swarehouse, pulpdogs, alyson and W. My current projections have Walleye, bestfilm and ozzy just above the line, and Spectre, Geezer and aquamann just below it. We'll see how things end up in a couple days.



Box Office FY R3

Walleye will take first place and get an IM. IMs look to also be going to numbersix and donnie, who tied thanks to their Oz/Olympus/IM3 slates.

Unless the numbers drastically change, the RZ looks pretty set. Out are redraider, swarehouse, TheJohnBenders and DDR12. JohnErle will lose his IM.



Box Office HY R3

Donnie and KeyzerSoze will hold off the rest of the pack and score IMs this round.

Eleven people went with the IM3/Trek/Hangover slate, and it looks like they will all tie for 10th, which means everyone below that group will be in the RZ. This will spell the end for swarehouse, DDR12, Walleye and audreytheconqueror. Meanwhile, jas, JackO, redraider and wcrew2000 will ALL lose their IMs.

[Geezer]

I won't believe I'm going to get cut until the final numbers! I just can't see it!!

[Walleye413]

Sheesh, my slates are all over the frickin map. Winning one and out in two more? I guess any blind squirrel can get a nut once, eh?

[Shrykespeare]

Well, having plugged in the Sunday estimates, all of my predictions look to be true, with one exception.


BO FY R3:

IMs: Walleye, donnie, numbersix
Loses his IM: JohnErle
Eliminated: DDR, TheJohnBenders, swarehouse, redraider


BO HY R3:

IMs: donnie, KeyserSoze
Lose their IMs: jas_8382, JackO, redraider, wcrew2000
Eliminated: audreytheconqueror, Walleye, DDR12, swarehouse


Ult FY R3:

IM: Brockster, (empire already has one)
Eliminated: TheJohnBenders, Walleye, swarehouse, Fixius, alyson


Ult HY R3:

IM: Shoenenbat
Eliminated: aquamann, Spectre, alyson, W, pulpdogs, swarehouse, undeadmonkey

There is one more player that should be eliminated. Currently, I have cutline, as follows:

16. englishozzy, 49.5
T17. Geezer, 49.0
T17. jas_8382, 49.0
--------------------------------
18. bestfilm, 48.5

It is THAT close. And you may survive yet, Geez. That'll cost ya a Hail Mary.

[JohnErle]

Loses his IM: JohnErle

Well, fuck a duck. (No offence, Daffy.)

Does anyone have the results from round 2? I know I got the IM in round 1 and I think I was very close to being IM-worthy in round 2, and then this! Worst slate I've had in a long time.
