 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Thanks!! Wish I had started again the first weekend of the year so I could get on the yearly chart, but oh well. It's been awhile since I won one.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread All kinds of KJ in the top 20 - congrats all. I'm surprised I even hit the top 50. Seething hatred -> Pink Panther. I failed to look at family sequels.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread While placing 2/3 is awesome, it really sticks sometimes too, especially when it's happened several times.
But unlike those past times, I can't think of a negative change we made this weekend that could have made a difference. We did lower Coraline from 11.1 to 10.8 and increased Pink Panther 2 from 12.5 to 13.3, but I'm not sure if the original predictions for those would have made the difference in getting 1/2. Hmm.
Anyway, congrats to pretty much everyone this week, hugely dominating week for KJ>

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Another huge KJ week, sheesh. Congrats to BJ for his win.  And to DIB2 for placing 2nd, and Misutaa (where are you at???) for placing 5th. 3rd/4th This Week. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Ironically, I think the parenthesized WOKJ made me breeze right over it, thinking it was random abbreviated username. Nice, we had the same International predict.  Oh, and I wanted to say good job to Scott V for the Coraline. I totally did not see how $15+ million was possible pre-Friday. I know why now at least, I used its Tuesday as its Monday, keeping the same percentages. Whoops.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Congrats on Corpse/Omni on their win. As for me, I got 19th place, even with a mediocre score. As for the year, I should still remain in 6th place, but at least I am gaining ground on Remus.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Wow. The results were quick. Nothing to complain about 9th, should put me in the top 10 for the year. But thtát's it. Those before me are all better predictors than I am. Congrats guys.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread 1/2, yay. Quite the streak right now. 2/3, 3/4, and 1/2 for the month. Doubt it'll last much longer though. Early, but the Derby Average is higher than I was hoping for JB3D, but at least they are messing up badly on Coraline and Street Fighter at the moment. But we'll see.
Congrats to rumpel, xia, misutaa, 2001, and levy for top 10. As well as MG Casey, BJ, DIB2, and Scotty.
Monthy/Yearly charts updated btw, Scotty.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread  I need to get my shit together. I'm having a hard time finding time to put together solid predictions lately. These holidays are just killing me. Amazing job to all once more. OmniCorpse on a wicked top 5 streak, and xiayun #4 with all the integer predictions - awesome!

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Outside the top 100 again. Damn. It. OmniCorpse destroys the month. Pirates of the Carribean has (have?) several wins and top 10's in between a lot of 3 digits ranks...

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Pirates of the Carribean's avg ranks is also 233. >.< And his rankings are fun to look at. Streak of triple digit rankings, then boom, top 10.
Sucky week for KJ though, too bad. I only see 3 in the top 50. Weekend dominated by the unknowns :p, but go them.
