    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Since nobody commented saying "What are you thinking?" or anything like that, you're good. Also, I didn't see what it was anyway.

    Cool. I assumed that if as soon as anyone replied in response (even just to comment on the selection), then changes would not be allowed. Which makes sense.

    What I have learned is that my rough list of movies is a mess and it is easy to skip things when you are in a rush to get out the door.

    I wouldn't be surprised if no more than 2 of these movies capped. Just doesn't seem to be a lot of sure things.

    I think after my next pick, by the time it gets back to me, we will be in “pick ‘em and hope” mode. Most of the films I’m even remotely confident in will be gone and I’ll still have 6 picks left!

    I still have two more potential cappers on my list, but I doubt they will survive until I'm up again. I'm glad there looks to be alot of middle class. That makes for a better game.

    He's trying to trick you into giving away your trade secrets. Don't fall for it!

    (Or, like me, he may be thinking that there are no potential cappers left, just a bunch of solid 100-150 m hitters)

    I dont disagree with you at all. Hence the word "potential". If this game has taught me anything, it's you never know what might blow up. Hell you may be being optimistic!

    I've said it since games inception...aim for a caper first round, 150 round 2, 100 round 3, etcetera and so on. If you can achieve that, you will win.

    By my reckoning, there are about 8 or 9 films left that are likely to get over 100 m. I will definitely get one of them but the rest will be gone by my Round 4 pick. Then the crapshoot and real fun begins.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?
