    Agree with @Creasy. Things were fine as they were.

    I agree with both Creasy and Willy. The game was quite fun the way it was, so could we keep it in the normal fashion?

    With the average increasingly rising, it will take longer and longer. Just see how it is in the villain game right now and you can see my point.

    Okay, but why the rush? It's a game. Baltimore has had some of his 'Guess The Character' matches go on for three or four months before, and that's just everyone guessing one character with unlimited tries. I think letting everyone get three votes will just make it fly by. There's really no point in expediting the game, because once it's done, it's done, and we'll move on to something else. It seems a good portion of us suggest we just keep it how it's going.

    @Thunderfinger, it's your game, no need to cater to me or act like I'm upset. I'm not. The game has been going on for ten days, in what realm is that a long period of time? If it had been going on for a year, I would understand, but it's been only a week and a half. I'm just not seeing the reason for the impatience.

    And you get your wish. I appreciate your feedback. I am just seeing how it is in that other game now which is about a week ahead of this, and it looks like it will be an eternity before the next one leaves, with people voting the same villains up and down. Let the game continue then. I am no dictator here, so once again-appreciate the feedback.

    When four more are gone, the average will be 20 by the way. It is simple math. Let us just say I will take the score for each film down a bit once a month then. I was skeptic towards starting at 10 in the first place, but wanted the games to be parallell. When there are four options left, they will have 50-60 points each. So hope you see my point, but I will wait for it.

    Sincerely yours, mathgeek Thunderfinger.

    @Thunderfinger, you should also change it so people can vote once every 12 hours. This will make the game move faster, and allow people to vote once in the morning and once again in the evening. I think you should consider it.

    I think that is too late and will only cause confusion.

    One way to potentially speed things up just a bit: Allow each player to either vote +1/-1 on two different movies, or +2 on one movie, or -2 on one movie. In other words, each player is given 2 points per day, to distribute any way they wish, positive or negative. (For example, I could just give SF a -2 one day, instead of giving another movie 1 point.) I would think the score for less popular contestants would fall that much quicker, thus be eliminated sooner.

    This also allows a players strength of feelings for a film to be factored into the scoring, which I think makes it more interesting. After all, I wouldn't burn my 2 votes on any particular film unless I really, really hated/loved it.

    Just something to consider, for whatever elimination game comes next.

    Please tell me it's opposite day. Yep, that's gotta be it. ;)

    Joking aside, I think TWINE is next to bite it, and fittingly so. Much like the world, your efforts will also not be enough, @thelivingroyale. :))

    I think at least LALD, FYEO and TB deserve to go out before TWINE.

    I think the great voodoo content of LALD, more earnest tone of FYEO (for the Moore era) and the overall Bondbananza that is TB will outlive TWINE by a wide margin as I find them all to have better elements than what TWINE provides. Obviously my favorite of the group is TB; I think it's a brilliant Bond film and one I see lasting a very, very long time in this game. It's mix of looming threats calling for nuclear war, Sean's effortless cool, exotic locations and sense of grandiose danger wipes every other film mentioned above straight out of the water for me. Now the only thing one can hope for is that TWINE won't make too severe a pain face as it dies a slow, agonizing death.
