Kudos on ur efforts - u actually counted and recorded all the people who participated? Gotta love that commitment to the cause.

thanks :hihi: it didn't start out that way...it just kinda evolved into being like that

I got a request for an ultimate movie survivor...hows that sound? I think it would be pretty good....

any other ideas?

Maybe seperate movie's into genre (Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror) as opposed to decades, then in the final four match up the best of each.. Otherwise, it's kinda tough to compare "Pulp Fiction" to "Vacation" or "Dumb & Dumber"

I dunno i kinda still wish that i woulda done this one a bit different even though it seems alright in the end...but I almost wish i would taken say top 4 for each decade and grouped them in a big pool of 20 and voted off one at a time...but like i said this turned out ok...nice mix of release dates in the top 5.

if the movie one goes ahead i may do that we'll see

as far as dumb and dumber...talking best movies i wouldn't think a comedy or horror would generally be in the top running...the results, I think, will be drama heavy...there will be the odd exception though I'm sure....it's a good idea for sure pasnow, but it would be hard to pull off i think :-\

Lets get some survivor ideas for a few days then I'll post the idea in the Jungle for ironing out the bugs...fuck it I'll post now

Neemo you make it alot of fun doing these threads.  I've been enjoying them for a long time.

Keep up the good work! : ok:

thanks for doing all this work Neemo, it's been an awesome journey! :smoking:

thanks you guys...I'm voting in the next one i do though :hihi: It was killing me to just stand by ;D

Great job Neemo!

A movie survivor is a good idea. It'd probably create lot's of debates (even more than the music survivor). I think we nominations should follow the same pattern as the music survivor (nominate per decade) but maybe limit the number of genres. For example, 10 movie nominations; a maximum of 3 drama, 2 comedy, 1 western...

many thanks neemo for your fun game on the forum.

and much thanks to your efforts recording nearly everyone that joined in, i wasnt aware you were doing that so 10/10 on your efforts!!!!!

i hope you can think of a new survivor game sometime!!!!

You actually entered statistics in an excel sheet? Now that's commitment!  : ok:
Excellent work, Neemo. You'll have ur hands full with a movie survivor, though. The no. of participants are going to double...

Thanks alot Neemo, all you're Survivor threads have been alot of fun :D

I can't wait for the Movie Survivor threads if that's what you decide to do...so many gems in my collection that deserve nomination : ok:

HTGTH needs to learn about more new bands.  ;)

If you want to do another music related one you could do greatest debut album, greatest debut single, greatest album released in a certain time period, greatest gnr song (by album) and so on...
The movie one sounds really interesting,  and thanks for spending all the time to put this game on for us!

have we already done a frontmen one?

hey neemo! great job with the survivor! it has been a lot of fun and it looks like you've put a lot of work into it! congrats again! :beer:

if you do the movies survivor thing maybe you should give 3-4 days between votes so people can watch the movies if they didn't have the chance and they're intrested : ok:

Yeah Ignatus did the Frontman survivor a couple years ago and it's where i got the format for this one? from..i think that there has already been GnR survivors in the past as well as a Contraband survivor...

duely? noted supaplex...you should post that idea in the jungle under the thread there so everybody has a say on it...but sounds good to me : ok:


thanks again for the words of encouragement...i had fun doing it :D

also i added the producers for the top 5 albums today ;)

here if you wanna comment on this survivor game here are the winners that we voted for back in july 06 :beer:

Neemo, you really did an excellent job with that... very impressive.  : ok:

Cheers,
W.R.
