I would like to propose a sort of competition. The idea would be to see who managed to get closest to the actual plot. we would need to set some rules and i cant think there would be a prize other than everyone knowing you guessed it right. score could be based on overall accuracy of timeline, who got offed by what ! links that fit known information. And possibly some extra pointage for prophetic leaps of uncanny correctness. any one game, Yes, No????

hmmmm well i looked at all my old topics and even though i first pointed out a good bit of things (not to brag) none of them are plot points, so i could not be closest because i never guessed what the plot was. so i guess i cant participate...

Something like that ocurred to me today. But I agree with Forever War that it is still to soon. I propose a thread like that when the movie is 1 week to go _ and only for 24h, after that, it´s closed.

We need the mods to weed out posts that are simply there picking people apart...so the reading can stay focused and flow Zim you're smart.....post a new one or bits of what you already got

So do I dig through the forum looking for all 279 posts I've made since March 23, or is there an easier way to collect all my comments? I mean, what's to keep people from either lying, or being overlooked because they didn't start a thread?

Its too soon i agree but i think something should be worked out. Maybe an entry date like 2 weeks before. need to avoid boot-legg and cams and stuff. maybe set a date like above and then have a 24hr period to post suggestion if the staff get onboard well could have a digital drop box and then it gets opened after the dead-line. one entry each and if you post more than one the first is used. dont write a sodding essay

I dont have all the answers and there isnt a prize its kudos points really plus knowing for yourself you got it right. i this if we have a closed thread which could be opened at deadline and people post one entry then its fairly solid. as for copying, if two people guess it %70 right from the known facts it wouldn't be a surprise at all would it. In these sort of situations you have the right answer and then all the other bollocks. its a semi serious geek out thing with little or no reward. im not even sure of a total idea myself yet.

Or, people have to support there claims by laying out the process by which they came by their speculation. But that may lead to the afore-mentioned essays. Eh, it's no big deal. Just have fun with it.
