As Salzmank is going to be very busy this week and next, with his go-ahead I'm taking on the hosting duties for the next game. I can't hope to be as charismatic as he, but let's hope it works out. To repeat the rules laid out in the first game:
Relatively simple game. You vote for the movie you like the least (or dislike the most). After the first round is over, I tally up the votes, and whichever movie has the most votes is off the list. Then it goes on and on until there are five "survivors." However, the general point of the game is to try and make one of your favorites, or, if not, second-tier choices, stay the longest. When the last five are reached the votes change for preference of winners. I myself will NOT vote in any part of the game unless there is a tie between the final two candidates. I take the deciding vote.
NB - There will be no giving of same amount of points given to one movie, to other movies. However there will be no objection to voting for less than the five movies.
To quote Columbo, "Just one more thing", please send me by PMs your favourite choices of the Orson Welles movies listed, and your guesses on which will be the top three survivors at the end of the game. This is purely for comparison interest.
My time zone is BST (British Summer Time) which is 5 hours ahead of EST. However I'll continue to use EST for the schedules. OK guys, let's go to the second game, which will be shorter than the previous one. One top score from 5 down to 1 will be deleted at the end of Round One. If other movies tie with the leading score, then they will also be deleted.
ROUND ONE ends at 9 pm EST
