    So ladies and gents, are any of these games ready to go?

    I can start the "first appearance by Bond" game if that is desired.

    @BondJasonBond006 I can't speak for everyone but I am definitely looking forward to it. Great idea for a game by the way! :)

    Did @Benny mean I can start mine as well? Not sure about that.
    And if I can, shall I first make a list and post it here for examination?

    No, just go ahead. Maybe you can clarify how much of the scene you would include.

    Was it the other game with the most votes?
    If so, go ahead Jason.

    My advice @BondJasonBond006, use this thread to showcase the list you want to use, and allow some peer editing from fellow members. That said, we should get that 2nd game going as soon as possible.

    @all

    I know it's my prerogative to decide how to define the scenes in the upcoming "First appearance by Bond" game but I still like to get your opinion.

    My idea is that I want to have a game of each first scene with James Bond.
    That means not only the first camera shot or the first few words he speaks but a complete scene that is finished and feels having a start and an end. And it should make an impression.

    So for instance I would include Roger Moore being in the plane in Moonraker and getting thrown out of the plane and stealing Jaws parachute. Because limiting it to his appearance in the plane flirting would be a bit lame in my opinion. But please give your thoughts on this.

    I basically would include the whole PTS of Quantum Of Solace as Bond is constantly in the car.

    Sean Connery arriving in the floating duck camouflage at the shore in Goldfinger and setting up the bombs and end it when he changes into the tux, not including him going into the club and waiting for the explosion because that is clearly a new scene.

    I have the game ready but would like to get the impression on what you good people expect. After all it should please you and not disappoint you.

    That sounds great @BondJasonBond! I think the idea of including the scene instead of the first shot or first line he delivers is a good move.

    Make sure in FRWL, the scene is Bond with Sylvia smooching in the boat, and not the Bond decoy in the PTS.

    Also, where you cut-off the scenes will be important, say in TWINE where there is action beat after action beat in the whole PTS.

    My last bit of advice is to take great care how you wright the game describers out. In a list, they should be quick, to the point, and what I feel is sometimes very important: you should try to make it so that each voting line has roughly the same number of characters in them so that the number totals on the right side more or less line up neatly in a vertical fashion. I found in the past, a scene could scrape by well past its due date based solely on the fact that its number total was tucked away where you couldn't see it, far to the left of the other entries.

    Anyway, best of luck, look forward to the game!

    Don t include too much, or it will just be another pts elimination game.

    @BondJasonBond006 I like the idea of doing it by each scene--seems like the most objective way to go about determining things. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but (since you ask) I would prefer what sirseanisbond said about FRWL--that Bond's intro be counted as the Sylvia Trench scene rather than the PTS. Other than that I am just excited for the game--looks fun.

    Agree on this. I'm a fan of it just being the first time we see Bond in each movie. DN and the Bond, James Bond, Sir Rog in the sack with Miss Caruso in LALD etc.

    I would also say that this should only be the introduction. Otherwise it is another PTS elimination game except for LALD, TMWTGG and DN.
  • ThunderfingerThunderfinger Das Boot Hill

    And FRWL.

    I guess it would even be the best if we only consider the introduction to a new Bond character. DN, OHMSS, LALD, TLD, GE and CR. In most other cases, the director did not really care much about how Bond is introduced in the film.

    The casino game is bound to end today. For the next game I vote

    Main title sequence-1

    Curious to see where SP lands.

    With all the WOTW haters around it'll go first, no suspense there.

    I assume we'd just be rating the title sequence itself.

    Main title sequence-2

    Have we done a best romance scene? Or has it been mentioned as a possible game? Could be a unique one.

    I propose two new games:
    - The Great Violent Death Elimination Game
    - The Great Post PTS Scene Elimination Game
    I think that they speak for themselves, but nevertheless I'll be posting preliminary lists tomorrow morning, or in the afternoon for you European timers.

    @sirseanisbond Any chance of making that a post title sequence game so DN could be included?
