    I agree that something has to be done about this game because I was gone for a week and nothing has changed.

    I say we have each member give five points to a film and remove five points from a film, or something like that. Both this and the Villain Elimination Game could stay like this for months if we don't do something.

    So far a majority wants a point reduction, but I will give it another day to let everyone have their say. Taking away 10 points gives an average of 13.3 points and the winner needs 40. Taking away 15 gives an average of 8.3 and the winner needs 25 points. Another option is to restart the game with a bonus round where these three "winners" start off with 10 points each, a middle ground if you will, wiping away all discrepancies from throughout the game.

    Taking off points will make it look like there's been some progress, but if people still continue to vote as passionately and not change up their patterns, won't we still just be having the same stalemate, just with fewer points?

    I would suggest, give it another 7 days and if OHMSS is still not eliminated, then declare this game to be finished as is: 2 close 1st places and an honorable 2nd.
    This I suggested 10 days ago, and we are where we left off.

    If we take off points, then by a likely clustering of similar down-votes one film will suddenly be eliminated at random. After that, it will drag on forever again, because none of the last 2 will ever be eliminated fairly. I suggest to call 3 fair winners.

    An error on the last page means OHMSS should have one more point than it does:

    I just think something needs to be done ASAP. This is going nowhere. I didn't agree about speeding up the game weeks ago when we still had more options to vote from, but now? It's really not going anywhere. Both of them should be sped up so we can move on to two new games.

    They're all winners. Plus those three films, is in my top three Bond films as well. ;-)

    But that's the whole point, and as the last fortnight has already proven, it won't resolve itself when we're all voting in the same continuous pattern.

    Exactly. It's been nearly a month that we've been voting on the same three.
