[sarcasm_made_Easy]

Also: the mob tangent I understand, but how did we get stuck on vampires?

utter stupidity.  


they shouldnt announce anything.  the game has no purpose if we cant fail at it.  people quit blaming connor for our mistake.

This is NOT an official question, just for purposes of discussion. I don't remember whether "Ghost" had the Mob in it or not.

You know, I think Carl and Willie did work for the mob or something.

Aw man . . . if I was right and didn't have the nerve to ask that earlier, I'm going to feel like SUCH an idiot.  

I think somebody asked if it were a Swayze film and it got no response.

[timoth1]

Willie was supposed to steal the account passwords from Sam's wallet for Carl, so Carl could carry out a drug money laundering operation.

[AmandaGal]

We'll find out soon enough.  We whizzed the questions. We don't get to know. 

Let it go man

That can be used in a search engine and was an invalid question.  

[ChrisHanel]

The combination of internet lag and bad questions... we just didn't fare well.

They should punish us... but not TOO much.

*innocent look*

[SaucyRossy]

Timoth your knowledge of the film Ghost is frightening.

Well if you consider the 20 questions game just something to give out a free Rifftrax to the board member that answers the question, then it should be no problem to announce the next Rifftrax at the end of the game.  We didn't get the title so we don't win the Rifftrax, but you have a ton of eyeballs looking at the forum right now, so it would be stupid not to announce the next trax.

The game has a purpose.  It gives you a free Rifftrax if you are able to figure out what the next title is.   If you don't than that is fine.  But it is insane to not announce the next Rifftrax anyway while they have so many eyeballs looking at the site.

They probably have to wait until they hire J-proofs replacement to put a poster together. Could be a while.  

[skenderberg]

When are you going to let us know what the next Rifftrax is going to be?  I'm sure that you would want to release the title as soon as possible to try and build word of mouth about the next release.

The 20 questions games are fun and all, but you shouldn't let us stand in the way of your doing business.

Don't worry about us, we'll announce the new title eventually.

Everybody is here to see what the next Rifftrax is going to be.

Whoa, calm down.  Whether they tell us today or not, it's not like they're going to withhold the track itself on release day.  We'll still get it at the same time regardless.

[ChrisHanel]

No, they have a poster. They woudn't play 20Q's without one.

Well I don't think they ever specifically mentioned the mob in the film. But these lines from the script allude to something like that:

Sam: Go ahead, search! You´ll never find it. They´re going to kill you and Willie. You´re going to be fertiliser. They´re going to bury you next to Jimmy Hoffa.

Of course I could be totally wrong in my assumptions here.

I think somebody asked if it were a Swayze film and it got no response.

It got no response because it was posted after the first question.  The mods only answer one question, the question posted directly after they answer the last question (in this 20Q) which is why Conor suggested not posting questions after one had already been posted.

It was also too specific for this game.

For example, the mods answer "No" to a question. Someone post if the film has vampires.  Someone else posts if the film is a action film. Someone else posts if the film has Swayzee.  All questions are invalid except the one about vampires, because it came first.  Sometimes they take the second or third question instead but the concept is the same.
