I knew that would happen the very moment he joined.
We need to put our heads together and find the best pro-active solution for dealing with drop outs in future HoFs. There will always be drop outs but maybe we can find a way to lessen the problems they cause.
Which are:
- Members end up spending their free time watching someone's movie, that ends up not being serious and dropping out. In some cases people have to pay to stream these noms.
- Members have to wait until the very end of an HoF to find out that someone has dropped out which means they can't finish the HoF early and get their list in.
- The host has the unpleasant job of having to decide when to disqualify a movie, which can be hard as most drop outs never bother to say they're dropping out until the very end.
So what kind of rule can we use to help the drop out situation for future HoFs? It be great if the rule wasn't over bearing and didn't cause hardships on rock solid members who always finish.
Drops out face a 1 HOF ban? Multiple drop outs increase the amount of bans until no longer allowed to participate? I’d hate to think of this becoming exclusive or anything like that.
In Zotis case, I don’t think he ever had any intention to finish this.
you and I both figured he wouldn’t be finishing, so it isn’t a big deal to me.
Even though he dropped out, it’s still a film I would have been glad to have watched. Even if I would have needed to pay for it. I just wish he would have been more forthcoming about whether he intended to finish or not.
He may protest, but his post in Japanese film HOF suggested as much when he said “this would have been a HOF he’s have no trouble completing.”
The moment he wrote that, I was fully convinced he wouldn’t finish the Western.
Oh well, at least it leaves me with only 2 films to go now.
