[COTM] Challenge 1 Green Team

[zakk]

DISCLAIMER: None of these are official guesses, just trying to grease the wheels of the mind.

#1 looks like the Shining opening credits, i'm pretty sure of this

#2 looks like spiderman's house but i don't know which spiderman movie. one of the tobey maguire ones for sure but it could be 1, 2, or 3. i'd guess 2 bc why not.

#3 could be any movie with red dice, of which there are shit tons. ugh. ocean's eleven? 21? snake eyes? hahaha there are sooo many vegas/gambling movies.

#4 doesn't look like a knife, idk why i thought of a windshield wiper. shrug city.

#5 hmm another house. i don't know this one. it ain't mad men, it ain't planet of the apes, but it looks like an older period like the 60s-80s being portrayed.

#6 ooo there should be something popping into my mind. but there isn't. that ain't a death star explosion, that ain't a michael bay movie (it'd be more orange). maybe some older practical-effects movie from the 80s or 90s. it's doesn't look like an epic-scale explosion, just a "big" one (i.e. a plane, not a space station)

#7 looks like the opening credits of House of Cards, they show a lot of statues in that, but it's mostly during night time sooo idk. the pic looks like it could be evening.

#8 i don't even know what that is... a boat? a helicopter? any guesses? there's 2 white dots on the water tho btw

#9 looks like there's broken glass on the floor, and something behind the chair

#10 looks like sand underwater with a single line of footprints

#11 at first I thought Finding Nemo but then i'm like nahhh that's traditional animation. is there a scene like this in like... Pocahontas? what are the orange things?

#12 wild guess: Phantom of the opera? idk

#13 shit i feel like i should know this

#14 KMD you may be right... but it could also be a bunch of other movies

#15 is ??? (anybody guess what city that might be? that might help)

#16 ooohhhh god i feel like i should know this one too. but i dont even have any wild guesses

#17 i have no idea. does the bird look animated to you guys?

#18 is pulp fiction pretty sure, when they stab Uma Thurman with adrenaline. muahahaha

#19 I KNOW THIS ONE. IT'S SYDNEY'S HOUSE FROM SCREAM. This is from Scream 3 I think. (Disclaimer: I fucking love scream, so I'm like 95% sure on this. Haven't watched them in years but this immediately stood out. Watch the new TV series it's totally fun lol) (yay, another movie house I recognize! lol)

#20 is ??? but it makes me think of Pontypool for some reason



sooo thats at least three i am very sure of (#1, #18, and #19), and one that's a 1/3 chance (#2)

[zakk]

official guesses:

#1: The Shining
#18: Pulp Fiction
#19: Scream 3

also what do you guys think about #2? which one should i guess? lmfao let's vote on it

[zakk]

I'm not going to comment on the accuracy, but I love that you've seen Pontypool.

KILL IS KISS

[zakk]

DAMMIT

IT'S SCREAM THOUGH. MAYBE IT'S SCREAM 1 OR 2

I WAS SO SURE IT WAS 3

I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE ONE CHANCE FOR MY FANATICAL NERD-DOM TO PAY OFF

FUCK I'M MAD

[zakk]

should i guess scream 1 or 2 guys

[zakk]

gahhh i could have sworn it's from scream 3 specifically

can you re-check, mod? LOL

[zakk]

#15

the cars in look like an 80s movie, the blurriness of the screenshot also suggests this

there's a mcdonalds in the background
there's clearly a sign with Cs on it... so it's not japan like i think someone suggested above

the road looks oddly familiar and i think it's cause of the sunset.
"Drive" immediately comes to mind, i recognized the streets in that movie but those were near hollywood... and that movie's way too new to have cars like this.

OOOOO culver city? that's near L.A. and i used to live near L.A. so that could explain the sunset looking familiar

but what movies take place in L.A....... ALL OF THEM. lmfao

this looks like an establishing shot. meaning it's establishing a location, a character, or a thing, maybe a car? do you guys remember anybody from an 80s movie driving a car like that? or know what year that car is?

[zakk]

i would have guessed scream 1 next tbh. but either way i am 100% sure that is sydney prescott's house

randommidget pls no more off the cuff guesses without asking around.
i am fine with the ghostbusters one since you were dead sure, but let's talk about it more before any more guesses.

...

let's also hope other people ARE guessing off-the-cuff in their groups, lol

[zakk]

#3 is very high quality, that means it's a recent movie.

it's obviously craps, idk what the "line" on the craps table means, could that be the name of a casino or is it just part of craps? (i've never played)

this could be an establishing shot as well. so maybe not what the movie is about, but just a "ayyyy there's a scene in vegas" screenshot.

i recommend we wait on further clues for guessing on this one, since there is just not enough to distinguish it.

[zakk]

#5 picket fence, nice neighborhood, seems to be kind of a pinkish peachish color motif going on with the house and flowers. lots of plant life.

perhaps an older female character. doesn't look like a family home. doesn't look like a one-off (i.e. a murder victim's house or just "that one house they show that one time"), it looks more deliberately planned and executed than that.

ring any bells?

[zakk]

#6 could actually be an X-wing blowing up in the attack on the death star. idk why i keep thinking of star wars here. doesn't seem to have enough debris from the explosion though. let's keep spitballin' on that one. maybe we should wait for the next round of clues.

someone may as well guess Scream (scream 1) on the #19 house, btw. i am 100% sure that's correct now that scream 2 and 3 have been wrong.

[zakk]

#7 looks like a statue in DC. idk what statue. idk what time period the movie's in. time of day looks like dawn or dusk.

#8 i have decided that it is a helicopter. it was unclear to me at first but i was kinda rushing. i thought it was something flying since there are no waves around it. there doesn't seem to be a big wave chasing it, there's no other indication of anything else in the pic besides the ocean, and my mind keeps trying to trick me into thinking i can see the curvature of the earth (which is awesome but completely irrelevant)

this looks like a plot shot, i.e. not an action shot or establishing shot. we're clearly meant to see that they're going somewhere, they're going somewhere far, and they've traveled quite a way. why take a helicopter that far if it's not a big deal? why not take a plane? where are they going? are they headed to a ship? an island? something else?

possible guesses are:

- jurassic park (on the way to the island in the first movie? i don't recognize the helicopter but maybe someone else does, my memory is foggy) (also i feel like there'd be a ship they were coming from, or some kind of land feature in the background... that's just going off memory though)

- jaws (was there a helicopter in that? idk. i just remember boats tbh)

uhhhhhh anything with a ship or island in the middle of the ocean, that would be small enough not to have an airstrip for a plane?

any other guesses?

[zakk]

#9 is older than gone girl (though i don't know the time period that movie takes place in though, i assumed it was "nowadays" i.e. 2015-2016.

there's a corded telephone on the couch-side table. that furniture style looks mid to late 90s, possibly early 00s.

is that a container of alcohol next to the phone? and a pile of napkins? or a pack of cigarettes?



#10 looks like underwater sand to me, not snow or desert sand. the bluish tinge of the frame kinda seals it for me, as well as the formation of the sand not being in piles or having desert windmarks. it's kinda consistent with underwater microcurrents too. i kinda wanted to say it was pirates of the caribbean when jack and will are walking into the harbor with the canoe at the beginning of the first movie in order to steal the ship, but that is at a different angle, and there would be two sets of footprints.

so, underwater footprints in sand, single set of footprints, looks like they were made with oxfords or boots, clearly not barefoot or flippers or anything.

[zakk]

For comparison for #3, this post: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 3#p4932703 contains hella screenshots from Ocean's Eleven.

the lighting style and quality look similar

i'd say ocean's 11 is a good guess




it seems clear that a number of these were picked from trilogies or serieses (scream, spiderman, potentially star wars, etc.) so that makes it a safer guess too.


p-edit: fuck yeah SCREAM BABY

[zakk]

coulda sworn it was 3, 1 was my second guess tho. dammit midget

[zakk]

It's not that.

not underwater, or not pirates? it's not pirates, that i know.

[zakk]

#15 aaggghhh

that one's really bugging me

i wanna guess one of these:

falling down
beverly hills cop (another trilogy)
die hard (1, because 2 is at the airport and 3 is in NY, and 4 and 5 are way too new to be that)
terminator 1 (not 2 or 3 or 4 or 5)

this whole "they're all from a movie series" thing is going on strong in my mind
especially after the whole scream fiasco



p-edit: #6 i don't think is deep impact, i just finally watched that for the first time, and i get no deep impact vibes from that.
p-edit2: #1 being the love bug is <3 <3 <3 i miss that movie
p-edit3: good point PV

[zakk]

wait oh my god #15 isn't culver city it's CENTURY CITY

now that i have seen it i cannot unsee it.

this removes BHC and Terminator.

Die hard is a front runner.

WAIT
ooooo yes yes yes that blurry truck in the foreground could be the truck from the bad guys use

asd;flhjkas;dflaskdf

it couuuuuld beeeeee

[zakk]

oh god so many movies i need to rewatch

die hard series
scream series
the love bug/herbie series
all the star wars's (again)
pontypool

and so many movies i've never seen that i need to watch too

[zakk]

you guys i have a sneaking suspicion accompanied by a sinking feeling, that i'm gonna not be anywhere near as useful for the other challenges. =\

[zakk]

ok so how's this work, we get 3 points for a correct guess, negative points for each incorrect guess?


also, how's the drafting thing work? i just need to send in a name to the mods of someone who's a veteran (i'm a newbie and we are paired with veterans)? and if i don't, i'm up for elimination? i have 72 hours but i don't wanna procrastinate that long lol

[zakk]

I'm expecting these movies to be more popularly known ones, because a) I don't think xof or CC are big movie buffs and b) it's the first round and I don't think they're gonna try to make the first round obscenely difficult.

in which case, IF we guess spiderman for #2 or die hard for #15, it should be the first one (just like scream was... ugh.)

[zakk]

Random first impressions (aka not real guesses)
1. Herbie the Love Bug
2. E.T.
3. Rain Man
4. Arachnaphobia
5. Cheaper by the Dozen or Something about Mary

6. The Last Starfighter (but any of the 6 Star wars movies could also work)

7. Ghostbusters
8. A Perfect Storm
9. Sixth Sense
10. The grey
11. Sharkboy & Lava Gril
12. Cabaret
13. Brady Bunch
14. Bruce Almighty
15. 48 Hours
16. Die Hard
17. Winter's Bone
18. Evil Dead
19. The Rock
20. Silkwood

!!!!!!!!!

great guess

[zakk]

yeah after careful analysis i can in fact say that that is in fact a helicopter. lol

[zakk]

for #11 the animated whirlpool with a bunch of what looks like flower stamens floating down into it... has anyone seen watership down? or do you think it could be from a non-{Spirited Away,Ponyo,Howl's,Mononoke} miyazaki movie?

[zakk]

also im still quietly confident 7 is The Sixth Sense and 8 is Jurassic Park(agreeing with Zakks earlier mention of it).


also re: post above mine with the picture. spooderman was like early 2000s.

keep in mind that'd be his old-ass aunt may's/uncle ben's house tho, and they'd have an old car and live in a house like that

spider man was 2001 (i distinctly remember the "3 may" campaign in the playstation 3 font)
spider man 3 was 2007 (i remember because of other things that happened in my life right then)
i forget when spiderman 2 was, but it's probably 04. either way that's immaterial since it's probably the first one.

it looks like an establishing shot: "look how boring this kid's neighborhood is, look what he's surrounded with"

and that's another reason the houses could be gray. very little is done on accident in establishing shots. this is like the exact opposite of edward scissorhands' bright happy houses, and it looks like it's on purpose.

intent to guess:

Spider-Man (first tobey maguire one)

[zakk]

man poor cc.


35 posts in that thread an no points.

feelsbadman

I have one point

did you count how many times I guessed Herbie Fully Loaded

legitimately dying at this

fucking Herbie <3

[zakk]

also:

intent to guess:

Jurassic Park for #8 and Die Hard for #15

speak soonish or forever hold your peace

[zakk]

The first spiderman movie was sometime in late 2001 or 2002. They had a scene that was around the World Trade Center that they had to completely redo so it came out later that but not that much later.

(Movies aren't my strength but I am good with arbitrary facts)

yeah I remember the WTC towers also being digitally removed from Zoolander (also 2001, they really rushed it)

fuck, i wish some of these were from dumbass comedies

Official Guess: Spider-Man for #2

p-edit: no they were just intent, to gauge people's willingness to have me vote them. spiderman was just an official guess tho

[zakk]

here's some mood music because i'm having a lot of fun and y'all are awesome



i'm really into music like this right now, thanks to Stranger Things <3
(p.s. if you also liked Stranger Things, see my sig! shameless plug, lol)

[zakk]

also, for #3 (dice)

should we guess:

Ocean's Eleven (george clooney one, not the frank sinatra one)?

or should we wait for another pic of that movie?

[zakk]

Official Guess: Spider-Man for #2

Correct

muahaha i know my nerdy movie houses!!!
(still veeeeery salty about it not being from scream 3)

official guess Die Hard (first one) for #15

[zakk]

I finished Stranger Things two days ago, highly recommend

do you play mafia or just mish mash? <3

[zakk]

*high five*

we on a roll

official guess #21: zoolander

[zakk]

....




ehehehehehehe

[zakk]

oh ok I'll just burn the guess now.

Official Guess #7: The Sixth Sense

wow

i would never have got this haha



fuggit

official guess #8: Jurassic Park

[zakk]

It feels like such an ilogicall leap to me but brains are good at seeing patterns, even when they aren't there, but dice both show 5 and 6 on the sides which add up to 11. I don't think it means Ocean's 11 but... anyway I still think it's worth a guess.

keep in mind this is a screencap, not a promo poster

hehe

this one too

killin it

[zakk]

for the underwater footprints

is there anything like that in titanic?

for some reason i'm thinking of Into the Blue with Paul Walker, because i recall them treasure hunting.

what other treasure hunting movies are there?

it doesn't look like an underwater monster movie





i still can't believe i got die hard. muahahahahahahaha

[zakk]

woo spiderman

I'm fine with guessing Ocean's Eleven (Sinatra's is Ocean's 11).

oh yeah it's a numeral i remember thinking that was weird

Official Guess: #3 - Ocean's Eleven

[zakk]

I doubt they took this picture whilst watching the movie, they probably found it online. Which means you could have a point.

I'm sure they pulled the screenshots from the movie while going through it.

I can confirm that I watched each of these movies to find good screenshots

then i am even more proud of myself



and even more mad at scream 3 LOL



and lol i remember there being stuff in the background in JP's chopper scenes.... maybe this is the veeery first one.

or maybe i'm thinking of the lost world!! aaaahhh yea it was them on a boat and the mexican dude is scared of the islands because they are called "las cincas muertes" and the guy will only go so close to the islands because he's scared, that's what i was thinking of.

gee i hope they don't include like some obvious picture of a dinosaur in the later screenshots for JP, haha

[zakk]

who's down for me to guess star wars for #6?

i haven't seen moulin rouge or rocky horror picture show, but could #12 be from one of them?









p.s. geez this playlist is amazingggg

Spoiler: EVEN MORE mood music

[zakk]

#13 (girl walking down stairs)

looks like an older house due to the wooden bannister/railing and the grid polkadot carpet design. something from the 80s or early 90s most likely, as it's not a shaggy carpet, and short carpets didn't really replace those until the late 70s or early-mid 80s depending (lol i'm pulling this all out of my ass / personal experience btw, i haven't done any research on carpets recently ehehe).

ummmmmmmmmm

judging by these other ones, it's probably some really popular movie.

only movie i can think of where a girl walks down stairs tho is Princess Diaries (lol, shut up) and it's completely the wrong angle.

this one looks like it's about to pan up her body and show a skirt. looks like an artsy between-scene shot where she's about to talk to someone, or just got done talking to someone.




i can't tell if she's wearing just the hose or if she has black flats on

halp


it's probably inconsequential anyway

[zakk]

#16 answering machine



looks kinda dusty.

i can't make out any of the pictures in the background. but the front one doesn't look like a portrait, more like art.

for some reason i'm getting a deja vu of the movie Deja Vu (lol)
because there's a scene where there's an answering machine. and it has something to do with the future and the past.

answering machines are usually used when there's something time-sensitive that happened, that a character can't affect (or can he!?!?), or they're used to play sad memories (i.e. left behind, captain america civil war (albeit a cell phone), ummm a couple others that are escaping me)

they are rarely used otherwise because it's just needless fluff. it's gotta mean something. and obv if this is the one they picked for the game, it might be significant.


but this looks like an older voicemail recording machine than that would have been (that was a 2006-2008ish movie, this looks firmly early 2000s or ehhh maybe late 90s? it reminds me of a cassette player so perhaps that design style was still in).

[zakk]

#20



door is the focal point

there's a fire extinguisher, but that's probably not used unless the zombies hands come crashing through the window and they're trying to keep them out

what the fuck are those machines measuring? power?

is that one on the right a switchboard?

is that a clipboard with regulations on it?

what's going on here?? lol

Spoiler: official guess

...

jk, just more mood music

[zakk]

*high five*

official guess #21: zoolander

This is correct, by the way.

i am so hot right now

[zakk]

yea PV i think you are right with

a) tape recorder
b) snow footprints

[zakk]

I bet #16 is Taken.

context?

[zakk]

AHAHAHAHAHA YESSSSS LOL

my friend has a YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA t-shirt which i love

#ohhimark

[zakk]

The answering machine message he leaves is very famous.

"I have a very special set of skills" etc....

oh i always thought he was actually talking to them during that scene and then he hung up on them

guess i need to re-watch lol

[zakk]

Thoughts on rocky horror show for 12?

that was literally just a wild guess on my part, i haven't even seen it

unless someone has seen it and can reasonably corroborate that it is from that movie, we shouldn't guess it

[zakk]

and yeah being wrong about tape recorder vs. answering machine and underwater sand vs. snow

that literally changes everything


i'm kinda burnt out for now, you guys guess stuff.

the dam guess is good, for the door

I just watched part of The House Bunny a few days ago at a restaurant, it's not that.

Lol I don't have any ideas, but it looks like a serious movie to me lol peg

[zakk]

#17 the bird is looking at the camera

it looks snowy, or possibly melting snow in the background

they had that raven in game of thrones, which is very sentient-like

is there anything like that in any other movies you guys can think of

remember so far these movies are late eighties to early aughts so think of movies like 1987-2003

idk what kind of a bird that is, but it looks like it's trying to tell me something haha

fuck you, inspirational bird of who knows what species.

for all i know, you're probably not real anyway. are you graphics? ooo that's a thing to consider.
damn i wish i could see it in motion, i'd almost certainly be able to tell.

[zakk]

looks like a snowy forest and the bird is like a ray of hope for some depressed guy

[zakk]

"betcha can't guess me"


*shoots bird*

[zakk]

Lol who lives there in the wedding singer I wanna know

[zakk]

And lol I know the song but haven't seen the movie

[zakk]

Could the whirlpool be from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron? Maybe... also, love that movie.

Could the snow footprints be Hateful Eight or The Thing? A little too new and old, respectively, for our established time frame, but who knows.

Bird one is really bugging me.

[zakk]

And yea I'm cool waiting until second round for the rest of these. If anyone else has inspiration strike, definitely post, but I imagine nobody else got much more than ten (fingers crossed for that), and I think half is pretty surprising. I want to get at least seven more next round though.

[zakk]

Movie #9 Fight Club Final Answer

[zakk]

#11 reminds me of Titan AE now but idk
#6 reminds me of Scream (again, lol) and Darkness

Official guess: #13 is Mean Girls (Aaaameeeen)

Official guess: #17 is Gladiator

99% sure, i don't remember the bird at all, but this has got to be the old king hugging Maximus

[zakk]

gladiator was 99-2000 and mean girls was 2003ish so if those are right, they are on the newer side, but chalk more up to the same time period

[zakk]

i feel like #4 could be "the great escape" the prisoner of war movie from WWII

it has Richard Attenborough as well, and he's super young (lonnnng before Jurassic Park hit the shelves)

Great movie, highly recommend

[zakk]

but for mean girls it was EASY with that screenshot

ON THE THIRD DAY GOD CREATED THE REMINGTON BOLT ACTION RIFLE. SO THAT MAN COULD FIGHT THE DINOSAURS. AND THE HOMOSEXUALS. AMEN.

i feel like other people will immediately get it too. hahahaha

It's not, there's no creature like the one depicted in the second shot. Animation style's not dissimilar though.

yeah that creature specifically made me think of Titan A.E.

I think i'm gonna guess that if we get down to the wire and nobody has any objections

3 and 12 are 2.39:1 so newish movies in a theater
6 and 11 are 16:9 and thus probably DVD screen caps
4 is obviously 4:3 and old af

[zakk]

6 night sky prob not space due to bedsheets coming down from the window that doesn't seem like a space movie

it's not star wars it's not the last starfighter (no bedsheets), i don't think it's a space movie, also it's not fireworks, it's not colored and there's debris in the explosion.

3 is not animated therefore not toy story, also that's godzilla not a dinosaur, roland emmerich made a godzilla movie, but it wouldn't have godzilla toys in it

4 i haven't seen schindler's list yet unfortunately.

11 is that just a rolled up armadillo or something? what movie has a character like that? i'm blanking here.

3 i feel like these are just throwaway miscellaneous world-building shots that don't tell much about the story. it's probably something totally unrelated like an action movie, i.e. the dog's not a character, it's not a gambling movie, etc.

12 titanic was a good guess. for some reason i'm thinking the green mile, and saw 1, but there's no stage scenes in either of those. also those aren't handcuffs, they look like straps with a weak chain, so maybe bondage play? and one of the people is releasing the other (also they are facing each other, so not prison rape lol, even though both sets of hands look male)

i'm pretty lost. can we has more cluez now? haha

vote: stage 3

[zakk]

assuming you meant 12, and yes, you're right, it's not. no stage scene.

[zakk]

errybody vote stage 3 when ready pls

[zakk]

fuck.

3 looks really familiar. space shuttle? doesn't look like a documentary. i don't remember a dice scene in deep impact. it's not gravity. it's not apollo 13 or 18. armageddon? but i don't really remember a dog or godzilla toys either. it did come out around the same time as godzilla though, i haven't seen armageddon since i was like 15 though so it's been a reallllllllly long time, someone else confirm? what's the F the beginning of? a word or an acrronym? what's taking up the main area of the screenshot?

4 i wanna say casablanca solely cause of the last pic. i don't recognize the first two at all. but it all looks kinda film noir-y and casablanca's got some bar with rounded ceilings like that if i remember correctly.

6 no idea but the last picture reminds me of some oozy sewer thing from ninja turtles. the other pics rule it out.

11 i'm fucking stumped by, and i thought i was good with animations. lightweight salty that there's a second dice pic. really, mods? fuck you guys

12 i wanna guess scarface. idk. it's the beachside i remember. maybe it's a famous beach in other movies, but it reminds me of scarface, and i haven't seen it for 10 years so maybe there's handcuffs and a stage too lol

[zakk]

Official guess: #3 - Armageddon

Official guess: #4 - Casablanca

[zakk]

6 is not star trek

[zakk]

11: Guess: Titan A.E.

since I haven't yet

[zakk]

Oops lol

haha i <3 u

[zakk]

Movie #6

- Explosion against night sky / Bedsheets leading down from alcoved multi-paned windows

Movie #11

(Animated) - Whirlpool with a bunch of flowery shit / Rigid external carapace roly poly lookin motherfucker

Movie #12

- Not Titanic

oh i just noticed that there are jamaican flags on the rocks (a VERY faint one on the right one) in #6. only movie with overt jamaican references i remember is cool runnings, i doubt that's cool runnings tho

also *cringe*

Official Guess: Scarface for #12

[zakk]

the jamaican flag kinda straight up kills most of my other guesses

i have literally zero idea now

i feel like the extra screenshots are more confusing than helping

[zakk]

Official Guess: Scarface for #12

Correct

wooooooooow

vaguest impression from ten years ago (literally how long ago i watched scarface, once, and didn't like it) turns out to be correct

complete shoo-in of scream 3 sidney's house turns out to be wrong (have watched the scream series countless times)



funny, our world, idn't it?

[zakk]

Movie #6

- Explosion against night sky / Bedsheets leading down from alcoved multi-paned windows / JAMAICA MON

Movie #11

(Animated) - Whirlpool with a bunch of flowery shit / Rigid external carapace roly poly lookin motherfucker / ANOTHER PAIR OF DICE

[zakk]

Your kicking ass, frankly

thanks

i wish i was even close to this good at mafia. hahahaha

especially right now =/


but as for this game,
i am

really

okay with not knowing the last two, tbh.

[zakk]

Oh come on i get one film right then dont get to guess it

yes you do get props for guessing it before the third pic was posted <3

[zakk]

Are we sure it is a Jamaican flag and not just something that looks similar?

I mean it's kinda faded but it's pretty unmistakable now

It's a little easy to miss at first but now I can't unsee it

[zakk]

I can make guesses today while I'm at work if y'all need me to.

Could 6 be Road to El Dorado?

Go for it, if you want; I'd say after this we stop guessing to maximize our chances of tiebreaker potential

I mean obviously unless you're super super sure, but I think that ship has sailed on these two

[zakk]

Ok so I've submitted draft picks, I've participated in the challenge, but I have no idea what to do next


Does our team stay together? We rock so I hope so

[zakk]
