PMJackson21 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Ok, so since I wasted OT's time in the 'name my english bulldog puppy' thread, I decided to hold a contest to make up for it (or to waste time at work, you decide).First off, I am blatantly ripping this idea from P5's ot, although I'm not sure if someone there did the same. My rules might differ, and the payouts are larger, but still, I give credit where credit is due. :)In this contest, I will post a single image from 4 different movies, and based on that image alone, the contestants must name the movie. There will be 3 rounds of movies, and the highest total score at the end will be the winner. I will also be paying 2nd place and 3rd place.Each correct answer is worth 1 point, and if you are perfect in a round, you will get a 3 point bonus. That means, a 'perfect' score would be 7 + 7 + 7 = 21 (yay math!).Anyone and everyone is eligible to enter this contest. I might post a link in general, mainly because I like competition, and I want as many entrants as possible. Starting tomorrow, I will post each 'round' of movies on a Wednesday at around 12 pst, and everyone has until that Friday at 12 pst to submit their answers to me. Answers must be submitted via personal message, any answers given in that round's thread will be ignored, and all you will be doing is helping others (or hurting, if you are wrong ).Your answer must be specific - For example, if I posted an image of an ewok (ha like it would be that easy), and you say Star Wars, you would not get credit for a correct answer. So in other words, I need the complete movie title, not partial or the title of the series.I will attempt to make the rounds progressively more difficult. I tend to like the obscure, and you can bet that I will not make it easy. In fairness to the younger crowd, I will at least make an attempt to select movies from the mid 80s and above, although there might be exceptions. Please no complaints if you are only 18 and weren't born when a movie was made, and have never heard of it. All answers and rules are open to my interpretation.Payouts are as follows: 1st - $50, 2nd - $20, 3rd - $10. Winners will be paid via Stars transfer, or maybe Full Tilt. In the event of a tie, there will be a playoff between those contestants. If two players tie for 1st, then the loser of the playoff would be the 2nd place finisher, and so on. The rules/type of playoff will be determined at a later date.That's all I can think of now, any questions or suggestions post here. I will post round 1 tomorrow at 12 pst or so.GLGLGLGL Link to post Share on other sites

hank213 1,823 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 You probably already thought of this but I'll say it anyway.Host the images on a generic pic hosting sight so as not to allow any cheating using image properties and following the url. Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the images I might be able to find online, and for those I will use photobucket (unless that wont work) to host the images. However, mostly I am going to rip images off of dvd's etc. Most of the images I will be using (especially in round 2 and 3) will be pretty obscure, and probably not the sort of image available online for that movie.

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? Nigel Tufnel: Exactly. Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder? Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

PMJackson21 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 I have my 4 selected, although it was a pain in the ass to get my laptop to run the dvd player/image capture software I wanted, and then some movies gave me a 'this product is macro-media protected', whatever the f that means.For the first four I picked movies that I thought 90% of people have seen on this forum, but I did try and go for random shots. Pretty easy though IMHO, at least if you have seen the movie. Round 1 is for giving everyone false hope though; the subsequent rounds will root out the movie buffs from the pretenders.

PMJackson21 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Heh on a side note, I told my gf last night I was doing this, and she was like 'wtf are you giving money away for?'. I explained to her that I obv have gotten more then $80 worth of entertainment value alone out of FCP, and will probably get way more then that out of the contest. Ha, if I spent $40 on the last UFC ppv, and however much I got raped for by MLB extra innings to watch the Dodgers tank down the stretch, then $80 is well worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
