TrolleyDave messaged me to talk about new ways to breathe some life into the thread a few weeks/months? back. I suggested a game I had thought about briefly and now having thought about it a bit more and with people wanting something new, this is probably the best time to see what you guys think.
The basic concept:
I make a thread dedicated to organising month long games that have an individual score tally (People say the scores don't matter, but as soon as I introduced them to this thread, instant revival). In that thread, people can suggest themes for games, as in the past people have complained about films being too old/new or not having enough films of their preferred genre. Therefore, the first few games would be specific to popular genres and eras.
Each new game gets it's own thread, not dissimilar to the 'Know Your Temps' threads, where each individual round will be hosted. The reason for having shorter games is that the rules lose meaning as the thread gets longer and it pisses me off when people start posting the same movies. Obviously, we won't enforce this rule between rounds. The winner of each round will be the person with the most points at the end of the month.
Tell me what you think and hopefully TrolleyDave will add his thoughts. We also need some ideas for the 'stoppers', people ducking out of the game after they have made a correct guess or just not returning to check. There's been some times when the thread has been halted for days by an awkward stopper.
