We're making some changes for the Fall Season starting next week. We appreciate all the feedback you've given us during the Summer, and while we of course can't implement everybody's sometimes-contradicting opinions, it really did help us identify areas where we could make improvements. The updates for Fall are as follows:
* The Best Performer Bonus (given to the movie with the highest Box Office total for each FML Buck of cost) will be increased from $2MM to $3MM.
* A Perfect Lineup Bonus of $10MM and 1,000 Golden Tickets will be awarded to any cineplex that selected the perfect lineup for a week (i.e. picked the combination of movies for their 8 screens that racked up the most possible box office).
* For any cineplex that does not select *any* movies prior to the lock time, any movies that were used on their screens the prior week will be auto-filled for the current week. So, for example, if a cineplex had all 8 screens filled the prior week but 2 of the movies were no longer available in the current week, those screens would now become blank. Note that in the unlikely event the prior week's selections now were valued at over $1,000 FML Bux, the least-expensive movie(s) are subtracted until the cineplex is under budget. Obviously, auto-filling cineplexes would never have new releases on their screens, and if left untouched over a long period will ultimately become empty.
* Players who start private leagues may now set their start date. For example, if you want to start a new private league for the Fall Season, you can choose to not have it start until Week 2 or Week 3 if you want to give your friends some time to join prior to box office results counting.
* We have new & improved prizes in the Fall, including items from Fandango and MoviePass! And in addition to awarding prizes to randomly-selected Golden Ticket holders, we are also giving away prizes to the highest scorer for each Week and the whole Season.
* Tie-Breaker: For high scorer prize winner determination, and as a basis to show standings in leagues, all ties are broken on the basis of the earliest finalized entry. In other words, in the event of a tie, a cineplex that was last updated on Thursday afternoon will have precedence over one that was last updated on Friday morning.
* On the League pages we will start tracking "Weekly Wins" for cineplexes -- noting the number of times so far in the Season each cineplex has finished first in each League.
* New public leagues will be starting every week. So if a player joins in Week 4 of the Fall Season and wants to compete in a Sci-Fi league, there is one available competing against others on an equal footing.
* We have started to roll out an updated version of The Chatter as you see here -- we think it's a big improvement, hope you do too! :) We'll be making even more updates to it as well.
* New content is coming to the Inside Scoop, with more articles and insight.
A big thank you to all our players for making the start of FML a big success. And good luck to everybody in the Fall Season!
