    Should have left the scoring alone and let the game play out naturally. Sure it takes awhile, but we've got an entire year and a half to kill before Bond 24 anyway. Besides, if you're going to lower the points you should do it by percentage, not a flat point amount. Much more fair that way (by simply deducting a certain number of points, you're lowering one film's score by 20% while another gets cut by more than 50%. Hardly fair.)

    TLD & LTK both on single digits, while CR & SF have more than double the points of either?

    I think TB and one Dalton film or FYEO deserve to go next. GF and the others definitely deserve Top 10 IMO

    Deserve is relative. That's why we're voting.

    I know. That's why I said IMO, because IMO some Bond films are better than others.

    Disagree. It was the right thing to lower the points. It is @Thunderfingers game, after all.

    My main objection was how the points were lowered. Taking a flat point total away from every film throws off the differential. For example, GF had it's total lowered by more than 50%, while GE had it's total lowered by less than 30%.

    If you're going to adjust the scores, you have to do so evenly to keep the "spread" or point differential between films intact. The only way to do that is to lower each score by the same percentage, not just hacking off the same number of points.

    That said, what's done is done. Perhaps something to keep in mind for the next game.

    Not trying to pick a @Quarrel with you, but that reasoning is flawed. Everyone has been given a positive and a negative vote each day. If I were to put percentages into the equation, I would in reality cancel several votes. The ratio needs to stay the same, otherwise it is unfair.

    Example: One film has 20 points, another 5. I remove 20 percent from each, i.e. four points and one point respectively. I will then have rendered three positive votes nul and void. Do you see my point?

    Yes, but the ratio does not stay the same by your method, and that's why it doesn't work. On the surface it seems fair, but mathematically you're eliminating more votes by taking everything down by the same number.

    For example:

    Film A has 100 points, film B has 50. In other words, film A has twice the points of B (ratio 2:1).

    If you take 20 percent off each, film A now has 80 points, film B has 40.
    Result: film A's lead over B remains constant (i.e. twice the point total, the ratio remains 2:1)

    If you take 20 points off each, film A still has 80, but film B now has 30 points. Result: film A's lead has actually grown over B. The ratio is no longer 2:1, its 2.67:1 Film A now has more than twice the points of film B. Looking at it another way, you've rendered 10 votes for film B null and void.

    I agree. I wouldn't mind if the game goes on for a year or more. That actually makes it more fun and meaningful.

    I agree as well. I don't see what harm prolonging this game will do that all the titles had to have so many votes hacked off. Then again, I am getting tired of having to stay up past midnight each night just to make sure I always get my vote in, so, that being said . . .
