Damfino

Yes, this is the problem I had with this question too and it also applies to my answer.

Ultimately, I felt that Mad Men had its best season this year, so I think that counts as hitting its stride.

The Bus

But who gets the bonus?

The Bus

Dooku, Palaver, and I do.

The Bus

Palaver chose to be a Republican.

Dooku and I will be Assassins.

The Bus

First, let's see what Palaver does. He's got 9 people under him:

Fist of Doom
Dooku
JasonF
NORML54601
chowderhead
Tracer Bullet
orangecrush
bootsy
U6C84

They all get +1 for a total of 9. Half of that, rounded up, is 5. That is Palaver's bonus (-5).

Groucho

But many felt that seasons 2 and 3 were lacking, with season 4 being a return to form.

The Bus

Let's review:

The Bus

With there being a tie for 3rd, that means that these four players will feel the wrath of the Assassins:

Damfino
wishbone
sauce07
Suprmallet

Damfino gets +30.
wishbone gets +20.
sauce07 and Suprmallet get +10.

The Bus

"And The Bus takes the lead after murdering a bunch of people's scores!"

The Bus

Half of the players are now within 10 pts of the lead...!

The Year in Gaming

Groucho

It's time for my favorite section:

Palaver

This is where I really suck.

The Bus

Question 12 . R: Name a sequel that was released on disc in the US and sold at least a million copies worldwide.

Damfino

Yikes, I really don't understand how this works.

The Bus

Oh... Tarantino.

The Bus

The roles that Dooku and I picked are of the Assassin. We take down the top 3 players only, without a bonus to our score. Because we both were assassins, it made being in the Top 3 especially painful.

Flower 2: Flour

The Bus

As far as sales figures go, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, as long as someone shows that they are reasonably close to 1MM.

Is the game about a movie sequel really a sequel to the game about the original movie? Hmmm ...
