    17 entries so far, and I can happily say some of the traps have been walked in to...

    Whether they activate or not is a mystery, even to me :D

    Keep em comin' folks :0

    I don’t understand. So if you don’t specify which movie in the trilogy it’ll count as you e. So to give a book example if you say A Song of Ice and Fire it’ll group with other people who said the same but not with others who said A Games of Thrones or A Feast of Crows who’ll both count separately?

    Yes

    No wrong answers
    Just need to be the same as others

    Correcto. Each individual book is it's own, in its own right, but if someone uses the overarching title, it wouldn't be fair to those who picked a specific book, so it has to be separated.

    Could be a Rikand-style lesson in there somewhere ;)

    I think that makes more sense than the alternative, because then you'd be incentivised to go for multi-movie franchises wherever possible to maximise coverage, and since there are 4 million marvel movies you could cover a LOT of ground by using an MCU film wherever there's one that fits the letter. Which is basically every letter.

    So yeah - I say name the series if you want, name the film if you want. If there's crossover in the name of the series and the film, the film takes precedence. At the end of the day it's not about films or serieses, it's "did your answer match the other answers" and spelling mistakes aside in my humble opinion as a highly opinionated first time player who has no ****ing clue what he's talking about I think the matching is what's important.

    In the example you cite, individual players have to figure out would people go for the most popular book or the name of the series. It's quite a good example in that there's one book who's title is better known than the series name, so there's a lot of room for inner turmoil. Isn't that what this is about? Creating IBS for your brain?

    Spelling mistakes won't matter. They'll be scored based on what I thought they were meant to be ;)

    Join the club.

    I don't follow the latest trends in movies and rarely bandwagon on any too.
