Someone tell Spectre to unhide his picks so I can choose them too.

I am working on the pricing for the Dec-Feb season. I hope to have Round 2 Mini-Supers created by the end of the night. They will be in Public leagues, so no password necessary.

Only four people sent in schemes: myself, Six, Chien and bestfilm. Would anyone else like to join the panel?

I'm not doing anything for the rest of the night, I can do it.

Is there a way to add A Most Violent Year to the Dec-Feb games? It's far too strong of a PTA pick to leave out.

Let me second that. It will be a major player.

And Leviathan too, could be this year's Le Passe.

And Still Alice, as Moore is the current favourite for Best Actress.

I asked about those movies when I sent to Shryke my pricing schemes.

He told he'd rather leave out A most violent year and Leviathan since their being released on 12/31 might be misleading.
For game purposes I think it will suffice considering them as being released on 02/01, so that they can be available for January leagues.
As for Still Alice he told me it will probably be put in. Anyway, the film has been leaked, so I think its pta potential shrank incredibly.
I also asked him about Timbuktu (01/31).

@numbersix and @empire13 Thanks for bringing this up, maybe now Shryke will listen to us!

Only if you promise to erase Interstellar from my slates so I can actually win

With Hunger Games losing steam, this looks like Spectre’s tournament to lose. I think the only one with a shot at catching him is Ron B. Actually, I think he has a very good shot.

Banks is in good shape right now, but watch out for the four Hobbit-mongers at the bottom…

My only hope is to grab a podium in one of the competitions. I don't have a slate to win, I think.

Making it to the final rounds of the ultimate leagues only to struggle behind the front lines.
Unfortunately, I couldn't do any better without Gone girl.

Gone Girl has the similarities to Gravity, Early October, top 5 domination, known director, WoM legs. Even Argo had similar stats, i wonder if early October is the ground for that single slate boosting movie

Any idea when the Dec Regulars leagues will be set up? I think at this stage Shryke should just pick the theme.

Yeah we should set a date each time saying "You have til this date to give the themes, otherwise Shryke picks one up for you", so it doesn't delay too much the game.

And we seem to go through this every month now with the Regular leagues, and there's absolutely no reason for it. The winners have had a full month to come up with a theme, so there's no reason why they can't send it to Skryke a month in advance.

I'll set them up tonight.
