Glad you're organizing the stuff, though, Sean. You should be. You are ace bruh. I said ace.

...Seriously, voice all your opinions, dissenting and otherwise and we will work through it.
Will you asked;)....My two cents: no one has the right to tell other members when then can create a Hof thread or any tournament/game thread for that matter, nor do they have the right to hand out schedules.
If your schedule is only a courtesy, design to give people information, that's fine. But I retain the right (as we all do) to create any Hof thread that we want, at anytime.
If too many Hofs are made at one time some will fail, then through trail and error people will know when to make another Hof and when not to. We don't need a hail monitor, we're adults and all of these attempts at conformity by use of schedules and committees takes the fun out of it.

I don't think your alone. Like I said I have more fun when things are organized. I get frustrated when things start and don't end or when there is too much going on for anyone to get a grip on it. I have never seen anyone stopped for trying to start something up so if people want to branch out it shouldn't be an issue. I'll be in till I'm not having fun anymore, and I assume that's how most people approach it. Even with all the stuff going on latelythe main HOF has always run pretty fluidly. So if nothing else I will just stick to those. Hopefully the specials can straighten out though.

Rebel! :p
To be fair Guap was stopped from making the Sci Fi HOF that one time. Personally i think the schedules are a good thing, as you said some HOFs will fail then they will more than likely be restarted at the right time which is the sole reason for there being a schedule in the first place. I also think too many at one time could cause more dropouts, i have to fight myself from joining HOFs sometimes because i know i probably wont be able to finish, i can see some members getting too overeager with the amount potentionally on offer chances are a few will appeal to them making them kjoin more than they'll realistically be able to finish. These are just a few of my thoughts i'm not that bothered either way.

About planning and not planning a HoF...
How about you just jump in here in this thread and say "Hey, I wanna start this _____ HoF, how would that be to y'all?"
Then you could easily see how many is in, how many is currently in another and wants to join once that's over and how many who are busy but would be free in a week or so etc. In that way we'll sort of organize it, but it isn't strictly run by all members judging when or not you should create a HoF - it's all up to you. It does nothing but help you in fact, to get a better overview of things instead of just throwing it out there and no one's available.
This seriously needs someone to take control and I think Sean is a good person to do it. Sorry CR but I disagree with what you said - the HoF was building to be something great when Godoggo controlled everything about it but now it has just become a game. Not saying they aren't fun but apart from the General HoFs they don't really have a point. I think Sean should control a schedule and the rules.
Having the person running it decide on the rules is why there are arguments. The general HoFs follow what Justin and then Godoggo originally envisaged so everyone knows how it works. All HoFs should follow the same rules IMO.
This shouldn't be a democracy. We need a benevolent dictator :)

Which means he has to watch and review it 12 times.

With what I said above, I do agree with what Sane said though, that all HoF's should have the same basic set of rules.
I'm tired of all those changes and such underway, it would be way easier if we knew the overall rules beforehand - and that would only ensure more focus on discussing movies and not whether a rule is right or not.
Which means he has to watch and review it 12 times.
Only 12 times? Why? We can convince a lot more members to join and nominate the same thing if we want to. :)

This shouldn't be a democracy. We need a benevolent dictator :) I like Sean, so my objections are about the idea that any one person can tell others on this board what threads they can make. No we don't need a standardized set of HOF rules, this isn't a Communist collective. What's next? A set amount of words that a reviewer has to use? Or perhaps a limit on how many Top favorite list a member can make? What else do you want to make people do? Was it OK that SC created another song tournament today? Would you like to control his threads too?
Not saying they aren't fun but apart from the General HoFs they don't really have a point. Special Hofs have no point? and just what point do you think they should have?
This shouldn't be a democracy. We need a benevolent dictator :) Good grief:rolleyes:
How about you just jump in here in this thread and say "Hey, I wanna start this _____ HoF, how would that be to y'all?"
I'll bring this up now since a little bit of conversation is starting. My thought is we have three special HOF and the main one running all the time. Like MM said when someone has an idea come in here claim it and you go on the board. When one special ends the next on the list starts.
As far as what Sane said the rules in the main HOF are simple and seem to work great. Features under 220 minutes, one week for each nomination. As far as the special HOF go I do think if you come up with it run it by making it as specialized or broad as you choose. As always you will have more participation the more inclusive and flexible you are.
I'm for structure but I do think we are over thinking it a bit. Keep it simple stupid. Thoughts?
Pretty sure the only one of SCs "friends" not banned yet are Dorothy and Isaac. Santa Clause too if you're a horrible person and dont believe that is the real St.Nick.

I think the phrase "Hall of Fame" comes with a special meaning, and I think they're starting to get a little silly. I think there should be structure and rules in order to have meaning.

There's always gonna be problems no matter what you do... organized or not.
If we organize things, people would get mad and just start their own, which I understand, since why wait just because someone says so? Here I can understand CR, in the way that no one should really tell you when or how.
But then again, many of these "rules" are only for the betterment of these HoFs, so it's not like anyone tries to force tons of stuff down upon you or your HoF. I personally think some basic rules would be nice but keep it simple.
Still, sometimes these HoFs comes together organically and succeeds perfectly without much control (not sure if I'm right, but the Slasher HoF seemed pretty straight forward like that). That's why I'm not sure if this "next in line" system should be used. Sometimes a bunch of people just happen to talk and suddenly there comes a HoF out of it. This little group creates it, runs it and no one on the forum is bothered by it. Easy as that.
So I guess I might be changing my mind a bit here... Because I don't see why you should wait your turn if there's like 7 people who just want this small and easy going HoF without much else. Sure, there would he people who might want to join but can't because they are currently doing another HoF, but that's how it is. You can't get everything in life anyways and sometimes you are just busy and stuff anyways.
Simple rules for all HoFs? I don't see why not. Strict system about when and with who? Not so much perhaps.
Not only am I getting tired of no structure, but I'm also getting tired of the entire HoF thing itself. Seems like it's the only thing we end up doing on here. What happened to the diversity?

I'm with you and I think that is the original spirit. I am sure Citizen is not the only one feeling the way he is so I will say this as a general statement. If you don't think it is fair to wait for a certain HOF run there are plenty of ways to skin a cat.The structure of this was quite cool but the idea is not really all that original. We have all kinds of lists tournaments and things going on all the time and none of them have ever been stopped as far as I know. So there are plenty of ways to do whatever you please. I do think the HOF work better with structure.

Too many HoFs at once cheapen the effect as well. The world isn't going to end tomorrow, each one should be special with as many participants as possible.
Sorry CR, can't take you seriously when you equate having rules to being a "communist collective" :D
Not only am I getting tired of no structure, but I'm also getting tired of the entire HoF thing itself. Seems like it's the only thing we end up doing on here. What happened to the diversity?
I agree. I think we need something new. I think the HoF's have become too significant a part to the forum when they should be more about fun and discussion. Instead they're this huge point of contention between people and has even damaged a few of my friendships on here unfortunately. :(
In other words, when there is nothing on the forum except HoF's, and there is more discussion about how the HoF's should be run than about cinema, that's no good. We're called MOVIE Forums. We should be discussing cinema. Not arguing about what really should just be a fun platform to talk about movies.
We need more creativity on the forum in general. HoF's should be part of a lot of stuff, but it's too far in the spotlight and I don't see much fun being had.

Indeed it does.
That's why I think there shouldn't be a system, like wait for your turn stuff, but just that you could pop in here in this thread and ask how everybody would feel about a _____ HoF. And if it looks good and you got plenty of people and not many complains, then go ahead.

I'm going to run them till they break because I think they are great and when I am involved in one I still enjoy the hell out of it. I have watched about four docs in the past two weeks that I have loved getting on and talking about. I think we have lacked the vision for them since Godoggo left and that has led to some contention. It really has died down though and I think we are going to be fine. I think the HOF create some of the best discussion on the site. I see way more back and forth on those then I do in Movie Tab or Rate The Last Movie, and you never see any in tournaments. When you have so many different personalities there are always going to be disagreements.

This is like a Temporal Paradox....There wasn't any big problems, until an attempt to solve future problems, created the very problems that we sought to avoid.
All the General Hofs have had the same rules by the different host, they all worked well! Trust the honor system.....The next host of the 9th will run it like the previous ones.
All this talk is much to do about nothing, there has never been any major problems in the Hofs.

Hopefully False Writer's idea can get something going with the movie a month. Less intensive for people who don't want to watch as much and it is another avenue.

They were a lot of fun but I got burnt out after doing four or five of those types of games in a row. Sexy's Big Brother is probably the thing that got me talking more to people on the forum and ultimately why I stayed. That's right MoFos, something else you can blame Sexy for. Your welcome.:D

Also, just so everyone is on the same page, I am currently taking nominations for the sci fi/horror hof. If I don't get enough noms I guess I will hold off on it for a month or so but I think it is a great time for it as Halloween is coming up.....
So we have survived a week and surprisingly although some of us disagree life is going on in MoFo land and even in the HOF. We have three special HOF and the 8th going on right now. So everyone start claiming a spot for what ever special you want to run next and I will start a schedule. When one special ends another one begins. Simple and fair. Also if you are interested in running the main HOF let me know and we can start a list for that as well.
I will begin to put the winners on the front page soon, promise.
Can I suggest we go back to two special HoF's and the main one, after this? It used to be that way. I'm kind of bummed the Sci-fi horror one got started already because I wanted to join it, but joined the others already. Four HoF's is too much for me.

If we want to say a certain number of special hofs should run at one time, then I suggest 3 at a time is doable + the general hof for a total of 4.
And to be fair to all, the number of horror hofs should be limited, so that all of the other hof ideas get a chance too. So far we've had 4 or was it 5 horror themed hofs.
see that wasn't so bad.:D
We will keep trying three till it doesn't work anymore. There seems to be enough interest now to support it. I understand what Swan is saying and I have felt the same way at times. I probably would have participated in the comedy if it had come at a different time. Look at it this way Citizen, if there is a horror running all the time you don't have to worry about over extending yourself. That to me is the plus. :D

Updated all the winners in the third and fourth post of the the thread. I don't think I missed a HOF, but if I did let me know. The only thing I haven't added is Teeter's to the currently running, but as soon as it gets going I will.
I am going to keep one master list of what's next in the second post because I have to keep things real simple. No one will be skipped though. So if you were planning on running a special just let me know and we will put you at the top of the class.
We have a very nice list of winners and so many great movies that have been nominated. I hope we can keep this great thing going. A list of 100 HOF winners would be great to see.

OK. So, I just tell you what I want here now?
Well, I had a bunch of them listed, but I really only want to focus on one for right now. I wanted to save it for early 2016 (I wanted everyone to get the ones in that they'd had already chosen before me first). It was the Silent Film Era. So, if you could add that to the "Later Date" list, that would be fine. Like I said, I didn't expect to do it before the others, anyway.
And for the rest that I had in mind, when a couple of the others are finished, I will let you know if they should then be added to the list.

Damn, you're right. I did have people in the 2016 schedule, as well. Sean, I still think you should just copy/paste the schedule I sent you in PM, and then anything that's been requested here, for the first time, should go in afterwards. The only thing that's changed, is who's keeping the schedule. Nothing else, really. Just sayin'! :)
Already added silent era earlier.

Can you schedule under "Later Date" a "Mega HoF" for me? The Mega HoF's schtick is that you will nominate multiple films. (The exact number will be decided by popular vote. I was thinking 3-4 films will work the best.) Another gimmick will be that you will also nominate one film you haven't seen yet.

Now that I see that the Live Action Musicals have been added to the list, I would like to be added on with another HoF.
I was interested in running one to be called the Musical Artist Hall of Fame. As I have said before when I've mentioned this idea, it would, basically, be any film featuring a fictional or real singer, band, composer, et.c. Also, this would be the place where something like "The Blues Brothers" could go instead of into the Live Action Musical HoF. That way that HoF could remain more "traditional" in the definition of a musical.
Also, if I could also request something else, I would like it if this HoF were run after the Live Action Musical HoF. I just think it would benefit both of these HoF's if they were not run simultaneously.
Thanks! :)

With the Euro HOF ending, Swanm and I are interested in starting up a Western. Citizen said he was cool waiting a round for the next Noir. I know a lot of us are getting stretched thin so I want to make sure there is going to be enough interest before starting up the thread. If some of you who would normally want to join but feel stretched, we could even stretch it out a bit more, maybe two weeks per film.
Let me know. I will give it a day or two before firing up the thread.

I would most likely join the Western Hof. But I don't like 2 weeks per film as it then makes other Hofs have to wait all the longer before starting, which really isn't fair. So it should be the usually 1 week per film.

Nope, I'm going to wait awhile before I start the Noir Hof. IMO if there are too many Hofs going at the same time it causes light participation. I noticed the B-Movie Hof and the Western Hof didn't have many people join. I think that's because there was already several other Hofs going on. So I like to wait to some of the current Hofs are done.
Right now these are running:
9th Hof
50s Hof (almost done, April 1st deadline)
WWII Hof (almost done, April 16th deadline)
Western Hof (just started)
50s Hof Part Two (tentative to start after the 1st 50s is done)

I changed [deadline] it to the 7th recently.
Also, sorry to say this but I don't think I will be able to host nor join the 50's HoF Part 2. My grades went down a little bit so I think it will be in my best interest to work on studying rather than watching a set number of movies within a deadline. I still think the HoF should go on, so I'm giving the torch to you Citizen, if you're fine with it. I'll try to follow the HoF the best I could. Again sorry.
PS - I was originally planning to give GBG first dibs for 12 Angry Men so can you do the same please? FM, Sorry to hear that you can't do the 50's HoF Part 2, I hope you can at least pop in and watch a few films. I'm fine with running it, if everyone else is. We've already talked about it on the 50s Hof so I think most folks are aware that there is going to be a 50s HoF Part 2 starting right after April 7th.
Oh, FM, get those grades up!:)
Thanks.
However, i changed my mind. I will join, i just wont host.

Would anybody have interest in having the shorts hall of fame be ongoing like the general hall of fames? Since the films are shorts, I don't think it would be too overwhelming for those who participate in multiple hofs.
Is there a shorts HOF ongoing right now?

Nope. But I think we should keep those going. Short films don't get enough love. This would promote not only that type of film, but could possibly encourage members who aren't typically involved in this section of the forum to participate. They won't be required to watch 16 feature length films, so they might have time to actually finish. :D
I'll join if you do one. Haven't seen many short films but i think i know what i'll nominate.

Like JJ said, it might help to give people a chance to participant in the Hofs who normally don't. It would be cool if new members would give the Shorts Hof a shot and that might encourage them to stick around and get involved in the community.

The 50s part 2 needs more members!
I've been talking to Silent Vamp and we both want to do her Musical Artist Hall of Fame and my Live Action Musical Hof at the same time. Sort of a joint venture. I think it will make it much easier for all. And limit problems. I'm concerned if I run my Live Action Musical Hof alone, most people won't understand what the criteria is for my Hof and will be upset that I have to say NO to Pink Floyd The Wall and films like that.
BUT...if Vamp does hers at the same time, then hers is a broad based Hof and so those people that I would have to turn away, can join hers. Hers is "any film featuring a fictional or real singer, band, composer, etc. Also, this would be the place where something like "The Blues Brothers" could go ".
Vamp had initially said she wanted to go after my Hof ran, but we've both decided it would be best, if they were done at the same time....I don't see a problem with that, as Vamp did ask to be included on the Hof schedule 6 months ago. So please insert her Hof with mine.

Well, you don't have to "see" about anything as Vamp has seen what you have said you wanted to see about before you could get the chance to do so. :)
Here is what I was thinking. My crazy mind is always going, and this is what I was thinking. I honestly had no plans to start the Silents anytime soon (I was actually thinking it wouldn't happen until closer to summer) because the 9th is still going on (and I know the 10th will be beginning not too long into the future), the Westerns is happening and the 50's are just starting up. That just seemed like too much at one time to throw one more in there. I think it seems like a lot, at least. I don't know how others feel. It just seems like when there are so many going on (particularly if a bunch start up around the same time), there is the chance that possible participants may not want to join when they are so focused on others. Especially with a bigger one like the 50's going on. And that would also mean that mine would start at the same time as that one, and I don't think I'd want to do that.
Now, I also had no intention of starting anytime soon because I figured Citizen Rules would automatically be doing his Film Noir first. I don't know if he'd still want to go first (as he is no longer hosting the 50's, but I am aware of his plans for the 10th), or if, perhaps, he, too, would feel like starting it at the same time as the 50's may not be the best for his HoF either.
Basically, we both have "smaller" HoF's, and I think they may get overlooked at this particular time. Again, I don't really know how he feels about any of this.
Now, what is in my crazy mind? Well, I just assumed that the way this was going to play out was that his Noir would start up after the Westerns. Then my Silent Era would start either at the end of the 50's or when the 50's are nearing the end. That was just the mind set that I'd had for awhile now.
I don't know how anyone else would feel about it. I don't know if my plans (that I am apparently making without anyone else knowing :)) sound good. But this is just what is in my mind.
If Citizen Rules would prefer that I go before him, fine, but I would still like to wait until the Westerns are over - or at least close to being over.
Of course, if something else is better - if there are better ideas out there, I am willing to go along with that, too. :)

Vamp, I agree with most of your reasoning about Hof schedules. I know we've talked about your Silent Hof before and I'm very excited about it and want to see it be a big success:)
But I don't think Sean was suggesting you go next with the Silent Hof, because he also said this:

As far as I know I'm going to launch the Noir 2 when the Western Hof is getting closer to being done. It has a deadline of June 10th but I will be done with the westerns by the end of this month (I think). But yeah, like you said I don't want to launch it too soon as the 50s Part 2 hasn't even started yet.
The WW II HoF will be over by tomorrow, no matter what, so if anyone wants to start the next one, the coast is clear.

What the hell goes on in these HoF's that causes all this drama?

Another question: Why are people allowed to vote for their own film?
Why not? You nominate a film you think deserves a place in the HOF and if after you've seen the other nominations it is still your favourite you make it your #1. Not everybody does that though plenty of times people have had other films as their #1.

That may be true but it's a matter of trusting the people you play with. You were on the WW II HoF, the winner was 1st in 5 of the 6 lists I received. Of course people will always place their own nomination quite high but that's because they like it or else they wouldn't have nominated it.

Sean I think you're misunderstanding me. I DO want to go next with my Film Noir...but I think it would be detrimental to all if I started it right now.
I plan on starting it in awhile, when the timing is good for all, (I want to give Neiba and the folks in the 50s Part 2 the chance to enjoy the initial excitement of that Hof, before I put another Hof onto the scene.)
On a side note, if the various Host would stick to '1 film equals 1 week of viewing time' and stop adding an extra month for watch time, and stop extending the deadlines by many weeks....We could finish the Hofs faster and then we could get to other Hofs much faster.

04-22-16, 12:50 PM
The time length is your choice of course as the host.
I think one cause of drop outs and people who fall behind is: recently there has been too many Hofs at one time. Wasn't there like 5 at a time?
Some have said they felt they had joined too many Hofs and couldn't keep up and so dropped out. That's one reason why I think the next specialty Hof, (Film Noir) should wait awhile before starting.
Yeah, not everyone can perfectly stick to the schedule. I think if you were to shorten the time you would see less participation in the HOFs.
Citizen Rules
04-22-16, 12:54 PM
No, I'm not saying make them shorter. I'm suggested the 1 week per movie time frame is a good one to shot for.
Myself I have also extended the deadline several times. I mean we need a heart. But I'm thinking about the current trend where an extra month is included. I think FM (who I like) did that. That was his choice. But it's my observation that giving too long of a watch period, might help a couple people BUT it makes the majority set on their hands being bored as they finish faster.

I'm fine with that Citizen but one of the reasons everyone was on my case was because we wanted the specialties to be limited so we didn't over extend ourselves. So Noir 2 will be hoing next in a few weeks, everyone cool with that?

I wouldn't change it even if it was for something really serious. You hope that people are honest and have a decent sense of ethics when voting, but I can see not being able to vote for your own movie becoming very problematic. I won't say exactly how just because I don't want to give anyone any ideas, but I think not being able to vote for you're own could lead to some sketchy voting practices.
Besides, like Camo says you are (hopefully) putting a movie up you really think belongs in an HoF, so it's likely you are going to put it 1st, 2nd or 3rd. I see nothing wrong with that.

If it was the sort of vote where you were only voting for one film, it would make sense not to be able to vote for your own. But the idea of the hall of fame is to rank all of them, so I don't really see the problem with people including their own nominated film in that ranking. It will usually be first, but not necessarily always.

I've had an idea for a while, but I didn't know if I really wanted to go through with it. Basically it's this: A hall of fame, except not a hall of fame. So there is no official connection with any of the "real" hall of fames, whether they are the general or themed. And it would be a smaller group of people than most hofs have now. I was thinking only ten per round, so people like me would be more likely to finish. The idea was for this to be a little more tight-knit than the hall of fames have become, but also less serious than what they have become. I have no idea what to call it or anything, but I would like to do it. I don't want it to seem like this is supposed to be competitive with the hall of fame idea, but just something that is basically the same concept but on a smaller-scale and independent of all of the hof stuff. Everybody's hall of fame obligations would honored, so I'd not be attempting to "steal" anybody's participation. I just thought I'd post this here to share my idea.

A smaller, on-going, Film Shorts Hof might work and might...
Draw new people into the Hofs (as watching short films are much easier and faster than the really long Hofs, so it's a good way to introduce new members to the Hofs)
Give people something to do in between the Main Hofs, especially the people who finish fast could join for a quick round of Short films, before the next main Hof started.
I'd suggest keeping it small, doing it fast with Short Films, so that it could be done quickly, then another round would start, but the rounds would not be connected so that people could join 1 round, skip a round, but then do another round latter.
Basically short, small, fast and easy.
