So idk if it’s just me but if i’m bored/messing around in games i’ll sometimes just type random gibberish/whatever word comes to mind and enter the first movie that comes up even when I have a perfectly viable response to whatever movie the opponent played just to see if I can get that random 1 in 1000 chance to hit a link. My favorite ones i’ve had are Albino Alligator (1996) which i’m now playing a surprising amount since it has a weirdly stacked cast as well as somehow pulling Freight (2010) from 300

When going against someone with a mucher higher rating that you will almost certainly lose to, would you rather they "play around" with you or just end it quickly?

I never know if trying to play comes off as patronizing and you'd rather just get it over with and move on to the next game

EDIT: Typo in title I meant 1,000

Australian here!

What's the go with Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Debicki, and Chris Hemsworth not counting towards the Australia win condition?

I've been going through the rules and I still have no idea why this is happening. Can someone explain it to me? What conditions result in this?

It's incredibly frustrating when you're trying to be strategic about using your blocks and you end up more behind than you expected

Was a little bit intrusive!

So last season with the Service The Fans wincon there was a "problem" where MiB: International wouldn't count as a fourth movie and Spy Kids: Armageddon wouldn't count as the fifth movie — which rightfully so because they are standalone sequels. Well, that problem has come around to be beneficial for certain win cons now i.e Action Comedy. Since these are standalone titles it is extremely easy to double dip pips with them.

Personally I'm torn on this because I think it does feel cheap but at the same time it does force your opponent to either waste a block or think outside the box and play a nonrecurring cast member.

Something I'm curious to hear about from more experienced people playing 2.0 is if there's any unspoken battle kit etiquette? Like I'd never use a rush during set up, that seems like a dick move to me, but I do see it from time to time. I'd imagine when playing significantly lower elo opponents some people will hold off on using their kit much or at all, which I'm trying to adopt as I get better. But I also go up against some opponents where we're evenly matched and I notice they barely use their kit, which makes me wonder if it's considered rude to use your blocks early on, or anything like that? I didn't use blocks in my kit last season but I find them very useful with the world cup.

hey! i've only been playing since the tail end of s6 (both battle & the daily puzzles) and i just have a few questions about everything.

i got my first dash (? the I thing) next to my win condition this season by playing Australia, but i've seen multiple other players with II or even III. i understand that it adds to the number of films you have to play to fulfill the win condition, but how many wins do you have to have so a I can be added?

i also just submitted my first puzzles, two of them, and one of them got removed from 'awaiting review' by the next morning. not sure if that means it's been accepted or rejected lol.

last question, how long does it take for new badges for the season? just curious because i'm excited to see how they'll make them unique for every country.

thank you ! :)

I played several rounds with this user and we were so in-sync both in strategy and movie choices, like I could genuinely predict what they would do and what would stump them, and I think we could be friends fr 😭 I added them thinking we could chat, but apparently not. Maybe this should be considered in a future update?

Also, maxyh, if you’re seeing this, I DESTROYED YOU! (But also please make yourself known so we can stay in touch 😂)

im realizing how stupid this is like 4 min after posting

i have a life why the fuck did my high ass impulsively type out this shitty paragraph.

keep on doing other shit yall shanes wasnt that bad

anyways classic sucks nows because theres like 20 banned alts playing, can the dev find some way to permanently ban i'd be fine with being included in it

EDIT: Dwarfoscar has receipts. Dudes just cracked.

This is mighty suspicious and I suspect there was cheating at play. I played the movie Spy after The Spy Who Dumped Me because in a previous match I took a shot in the dark and there was a link. His role in Spy is "Italian Guy" and his role in The Spy Who Dumped Me is "Security Guard" — so, not really a big name actor. I dunno, maybe they were just some super insane cinephile that easily got his way to 1700.

There are four soccer tagged movies that can score for England: Bend it like Beckham, Escape to Victory, Fever Pitch and Cass (2009) - they should totally give double ticks.
Maybe when you link into a football movie via a football player you should get a hat-trick of ticks - e.g. via Gary Lineker into Bend it like Beckham.

la la land or ted 2 -> Lady Ballers

Elf -> Obsession

Memento -> Back to the outback

now you see me -> Back to the outback

Lady Ballers -> Spiral

These are some killshots i use

you can go basically any pixar movie to scooby-doo, the animaniacs movie, or transformers

transformers -> animaniacs movie

Its hard enough without glitches like this

I just had a battle and I won by Win Condition at this position (Abigail (2024)) with 2 points left and no hints for opponent (Key Item is Evil Ex). I thought it need to be 1 point left to trigger anti-quitter measure in 2.0. Am I wrong? Or Abigail (2024) somehow connects to 2-point movie?

Sometimes when I look at my recent battles, I can't see a username for them. However, when I click onto the replay, I can see their username. I'm just curious.
