Minimum players in classic game
Hi all, my first time creating a game on my own. Is there a way to set the game to only 4 or 5 players for a private game? I didn't see any option and it shows "game will start when all 7 players have joined" now. Thanks for any help!!

Question concerning game rules (pms)
Hi there! I need a public and official reply by a MODERATOR.
If you play a match without anonymous players, but even without private chat (only team chat): Is it allowed to write the other players private messages in order to negotiate? In my opinion everbody see the names of the other players and everybody can write to the other players, so it is a fair system. It is a very important part of this game to negotiate, you know.
How are the official rules?

People should go watch the first one again and realize they misremember it.
Tr I'm curious, what is your ranking of Tarantino films?
Also, "last good film" =/= his best

It's definitely a great film but basterds twists everything in a delightful manner. I've never felt so much tension in my life, so uncertain of the outcome
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
09 May 17 UTC
Maybe I should watch Basterds again. I didn't really care for it the first go around.
TrPrado (461 D)
09 May 17 UTC
Upon putting Tarantino films to numbers, Inglorious Basterds is my fifth favorite. I prefer Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Hateful Eight, and Django Unchained all above it.
TrPrado (461 D)
09 May 17 UTC
In general, I prefer Tarantino's work over Nolan's work, but Dark Kinight > Inglorious Basterds.
CommanderByron (801 D(S))
09 May 17 UTC
Dark Knight and Bastards are both excellent movies. For this matchup I ask myself which movie I'd rather watch; and quite frankly I'd rather watch Bastards if I could only choose one.
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
09 May 17 UTC
I'll rank the Tarantino films I've seen:

Reservoir Dogs
Inglorious Basterds
Django Unchained
Death Proof
Pulp Fiction

Maybe I'm weird, but I just didn't like Pulp Fiction that much. It's a good movie, but it kind of meanders a lot.
CommanderByron (801 D(S))
09 May 17 UTC
Since we are doing this:

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Django
Hateful eight
Bastards
Death proof
Jackie Brown
All of Kill Bill.

Inglorious Basterds gets better if you watch it again, IMO. The subtitles are annoying on a first view, but I find less so once you know the plot and action.

John Carpenter's The Thing is hugely overrated. It's a solid cult classic, but nothing like Die Hard. Over-reliance on special effects kills some early 80s (pre-CGI) sci-fi films.
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
09 May 17 UTC
The Thing has some of the best practical effects in the history of film. Don't hate.
TrPrado (461 D)
09 May 17 UTC
"People should go watch the first one again and realize they misremember it."

It was worse on rewatch. Meanwhile Dark Knight was better on rewatch.
My ranking of Tarantino Films (Note haven't seen death proof or jackie brown):
1. Reservoir Dogs
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Inglorious Basterds
4. Kill Bill (both of them)
5. Django Unchained
6. Hateful Eight

I think I have watched The Thing three times: In the 80s on HBO, in the 2000s on DVD via Netflix, and in the past 2 years also in Netflix. Got worse for me each time. Not the hallmark of a good film. By contrast, I watch Die Hard nearly every Christmas and have a blast with it each and every time.

My combined Tarantino/Nolan rank list:

T1. Pulp Fiction
T2. Inglourious Basterds
N1. Inception Feature
N2. The Dark Knight
N3. Memento
T3. Django Unchained
T4. Reservoir Dogs
N4. The Prestige
N5. The Dark Knight Rises
N6. Interstellar
T5. Kill Bill: Vol. 1
T6. Jackie Brown
N7. Insomnia
T7. The Hateful Eight
N8. Batman Begins
T8. Death Proof
T9. Kill Bill: Vol. 2

There may be some amount of sentimentality/nostalgia putting Pulp Fiction at the top, but it definitely holds up for me on recent viewing against all the others.
