Movie Battle Royal! Best of the Best!
I thought this would be a fun game to play. l start the game buy picking 16 fantasy, horror, or science fiction movies and matching them up into pairs. Post which movie of each pair is your favorite. After twenty people post their selections then the person who posted the 16 movies announces the winners and a new person takes over and posts a new set of 16 movies. Once we get 64 movies from this process we will start over using the pool of winning movies. Eventually we will work our way down to the favorite fantasy, horror, or science fiction movie of the EN Boards.
When you vote put the round and which voter your are. If you were the fifth person to vote in round 1 you would put: Round 1-5 at the top of your vote. We will take the votes of 20 people per round. Feel free to talk and kibitz about the choices! In the event of a tie, the person posting the round's picks will have the deciding vote.
It is totally up to the person who posts the round's choices on what movies he/she picks or how she matches them up. The only rule is that you cannot use a movie that has already been posted.
I will keep track of the winners here.
Good luck and let the fun begin.
