Did you not see my GM Note?
ghug (5068 D(B))

I don't see how that's relevant. There's an incorrect (1) next to its name and it was eliminated according to your algorithm.
"GM NOTE: With nominations closed there are 143 Nominations, this means there will be 15 movies cut. I will use the following procedure for cutting films and seeding :

1. Taking out critically and audience panned films/troll entries. Films like these with seconds are not immune."
Seriously, if you get rid of the cat one I'm going to quit the website and take my thousands of friends with me.
ghug (5068 D(B))

Leaving aside the questionableness of eliminating Birdemic for that reasonin the first place, it clearly isn't the reason you used to eliminate Birdemic: Shock and Terror. You eliminated it as a film with no second via your algorithm, as is evidenced by the incorrect total given next to it in the list.

Which other seconds did you "miscompute"? Is this so-called "algorithm" peer-reviewed? What are your true motives here?

Perhaps he didn't count your second because it wasn't going to stay anyway.

I'll stop calling out your evil, treacherous ways if you'll put Birdemic back in and add Paul Blart: Mall Cop. They can replace your nominations with the fewest seconds.

You should use all 3 GM seconds on it so that it doesn't make the seeding unfair.

Why the fuck does he get GM seconds?
Because I have 10 Seconds just like anybody else? I've used them all up btw on:
Primer
Moneyball
Your Name
Crocodile Dundee
Birdman
Terminator 2
Casablanca
Rear Window
[The one Jamiet asked me for]
Reservoir Dogs

You spelled Birdemic wrong.

Also Terminator 2 is legitimately less entertaining than https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrxZblVUkMU
TrPrado (461 D)
26 Apr 17 UTC
In terms of "so bad its good" films, Birdemic is probably the most overrated. Watch Laserblast because it's inherently superior.
TrPrado (461 D)
26 Apr 17 UTC
Wait, no, Sharknado is absolutely the most overrated. It slipped my mind that they're preparing to release the fifth installment. Even Birdemic only has 2 films (I'm crossing my fingers Sea Eagle never gets made).
ghug (5068 D(B))
26 Apr 17 UTC
Birdemic 2 isn't real Birdemic.

Birdemic and The Room are the only such films worth watching.
ghug (5068 D(B))
26 Apr 17 UTC
Prado, it's really impressive to me that you call too-bad-it's-good movies hipster-bait and then manage to be a hipster about them.
TrPrado (461 D)
26 Apr 17 UTC
I'm a proto-hipster. I use emojis for ironic humor. I don't actually watch those sorts of films though. It's just my favorite person on YouTube has a series based around finding and reviewing those sorts of films to help give better appreciation to actually good films. He had thought Who Killed Captain Alex would be one such film, but when he reviewed it he actually had genuine appreciation for it and everything about it.

Oh my God you're secretly Vash.
Damn, I should've nominated Cube if we were doing that

1901 Country Assignments
Does anybody else constantly get assigned the same country or countries? I've entered into maybe 15 games and every time but one, have been assigned either England, Germany, or Russia.

(Note: this is not a complaint--I'll never bemoan a free game of Diplomacy!!! Just curious :-)

Game Start Date - any way to know?
I know you can see the date a game finished, but is there a way to look and see when it started? I am curious to see how long a game took to finish in real time.

I looked for this for a while, so I'm the dunce if someone immediately points this out...
