Wow! first round with no correct answers!

The answer was 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) ...

...

.... ok ... no, the real answer was The Rock (1996)

Image context is up in the discussion thread right now.

Battle score is obviously 4-0 to images but with 5 incorrect answers that's 9-0 for the round! This changes the total to Images 46 - Rebels 40! :twisted: The Trump administration is clearly working already!

7 correct answers signals a strong lashback from the Rebels

now time for the Weekly Leaderboard Update (accurate to the end of Round 15 Image 1)

1st Snallygaster - 38 pts
2nd bowfinger - 36 pts
3rd brickwall - 35 pts
4th= maaxwell - 34 pts
4th= cet1412 - 34 pts
6th igormachete - 26 pts
7th= bojangles - 21 pts
7th= vinegarbob - 21 pts
9th mattorama12 - 19 pts
10th= Victoriouz - 17 pts
10th= 3dRevelation - 17 pts
10th= KasperL - 17 pts

13th dunbar - 16 pts
14th auhasarderik - 15 pts
15th CMonster - 13 pts
16th rklenseth - 9 pts
17th= CosmicMonkey - 7 pts
17th= Detox - 7 pts
19th OMGFridge - 6 pts
20th= astrakhan - 2pts
20th= joeroxy - 2 pts

I haven't done a tournament leaderboard commentary yet but this is as good a time as any to do this. With less than two weeks remaining, it seems fair to say that the overall tournament prize looks to be between the current top 5. Only 4 pts separate those players and with some having already scored in Round 15 while others haven't, the current order will almost certainly change further in the coming hours. Igormachete is a little isolated in 6th, looking a little too far behind to catch up to 5th and with a comfortable gap to 7th, but having hibernated for the beginning of the tournament Vinegarbob is now on an impressive charge and is looking to rise even higher. The battle for a place in the top 10 is really really tight. Just 4 pts separate 9th place from 14th so the competition will be tense for the remainder of the tournament ...

.... and this is why I'm calling it now .... The Rebels are going to lose the overall battle. It's not just the current 6 pt lead (although that's fucking awesome! Thank you Michael Bay!) I expect the Rebels to peg back some points here and there, even the current round is shaping up well in that respect for you guys. But the thing is with the end of the tournament in sight, each player will start to look at their rivals and fear for their current position. Fear leads to Anger. Anger leads to saying 'fuck the rebels bullshit, I'm going for the leaderboard position'. 'Going for the leaderboard' leads to more guess attempts. More guess attempts leads to more wrong answers. More wrong answers leads to points for the Sith and a overall battle win! It's inevitable. Just accept it. Turn your back on your Rebel brethren and feel the power of the dark side and join us!

The answer was D) Modern times. 11 players got it right with no incorrect answers ... and yes that means dunbar actually got a bonus round right for the first time! ;)

***ROUND 15 RESUMES***

And one correct answer to close the round

The answer was Magnolia (1999)

4 pts - bowfinger, vinegarbob, snallygaster, cet1412, 3dRevelation, bojangles, auhasarderik
3 pts -
2 pts - brickwall, igormachete
1 pt - maaxwell

Battlescore wise, it was a 3-1 triumph for the Rebels but with one incorrect answer it finishes 3-2 to the Rebels. That results in an updated total of Images 48 - Rebels 43!

I consider this a very tough round so I was surprised to get one correct answer on the first image. Well done to that anonymous player! I guess tough rounds are more your thing than bonus rounds, eh mr anonymous!? .... erm ... :?
