Go figure, i picked the worst numbers.

No you didn't. You were unlucky, just like Psycho was. Even Sergio Leone couldn't save him.

And we have the first trade-in, folks!




Numbers remaining - 101 to 119, 121 to 141.

And we have a FOURTH trade-in!




Numbers remaining - 101 to 110, 112 to 119, 121, 122, 123, 125 to 140.

finally got my internet working agoin.... so whats going on? I read through and its either because i'm high or stupid, but I dunno what i'm supposed to do besides try to get new directors, but I think i'm good with mine so.... anything to be done?

You can go ahead and pick a new number and trade in one of your original chosen ones, if you feel that particular director didnt do well for you. But that's after Group A's time is over.

Calling those participants of Group A who haven't traded-in yet...there are only 2 matches remaining for Group B, after which your time of trade-in will be over.

Go ahead and choose, if you want to.

You can also change any originally chosen films of your remaining two chosen directors. Once the time is over, you will not be allowed to modify your team anymore.

The contestants in Group B who are under the elimination radar have been marked as under "Danger Zone!". Now, the decision to eliminate TWO participants out of the THREE in the Danger Zone has to be taken by ALL (or maximum) of the contestants of all Groups - A, B and C.

PM me or email me at [email protected] your choice of TWO participants of Group B, who you would like to nominate to be eliminated.

You have 48 hours to make your decision.

At the end of 48 hours, I will announce the votes and the names of the eliminated participants of Group B. (don't worry, I wont announce the names of the voters)


Just to show the MASTERS OF CINEMA in the teams of all the Group B contestants in the Danger Zone -

Psycom5K - FRANK CAPRA, DARIO ARGENTO, NEIL MARSHALL.

Fortunato - ROBERT ZEMECKIS, ROBERT WISE, MARIO BAVA.

Bloody Ribcut - JOHN STURGES, DAVID LEAN, LUCIO FULCI.



Good luck in choosing, contestants!


(On a side note, the time given to Group A to make modifications in their teams is now over. All decisions taken/not taken are final and binding.)

All four Group A contestants who have modified their teams - please send me THREE films of each NEW director that you have chosen. You have till the end of Round 1 for Group C to send in your PMs or email.




Numbers remaining - 101 to 110, 112 to 119, 121, 122, 123, 125 to 140.

And we have a THIRD trade-in for Group B!

Boooooooooooooooo i demand a recount!!!

Sorry guys, your run in Showdown II ends here. Good game.

There's another twist in the tale.

Expect a new Announcement within the next 12 hours.

But what happens now?!?!?!?!

Second link in my Signature.

Pending Announcement to come in the next 8 hours, followed by waiting for 40 more hours for Group C to do their Trade-ins.

And we have the first trade-in for Group C, folks!




Numbers remaining - 101 to 110, 112 to 117, 121, 122, 125 to 134, 136 to 140, 142 to 152.

WORST...GAME...EVEEERRRRRRRR!!!! :mad:

QFT :mad::mad:

Someone needs to pick up Huston & Welles. The fact that they didn't net a single point in the tournament is tragic. Two of the better directors in the competition really deserve to be represented.

I ll be heading out in a few minutes so let's have the Announcement now...

Round 1 for all 3 Groups is complete. We had several surprise losses in Chapters 1, 2 & 3, and SIX contestants were knocked out of Showdown II. Too bad, but that's how the game goes.

Now we enter Round 2, after Group C has completed their Trade-Ins. And for Round 2, we will have THREE eliminations in each group. That's right, no less than NINE contestants will be knocked out of Showdown II once Round 2 is over.


Also, for Round 2, there is a twist in the tale.


Contestants...

SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR OLD GROUPS!


and...


SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW GROUPS!




Surprised? Well, surprises and changes keep things fresh in a contest. Plus, we really need to build on the luck factor, doncha think?

Go over your new groups. Think over your opponents. Pray for Lady Luck to shine on you, and the popularity of your Team to pull you through.

Good luck.

And we have the second trade-in for Group C!




Numbers remaining - 101 to 110, 112 to 117, 121, 122, 125 to 134, 136 to 140, 142 to 150, 152.

Less than 10 hours remain for the deadline of Trade-Ins for Group C (of the first Round) to expire.

And then...Round 2 of Showdown II will commence.
