I think a board for the weeks Top ten unproduced scripts would be good.
Just like the box office we could see who is doing well. The end of everyweek brings a new top ten list.

Battle of the scripts.

Yeah Kingpin, I'm with you! I think a TOP 10 scripts poll would be a great way to boost people's confidence and make them better writers. Wouldn't hurt in my opinion...

LET THE BATTLE COMMENCE.

Whose going to keep this top 10 up to date? I can almost say for sure Don doesn't have the time to do it

I have a good idea if Don and enough people are willing to participate, I myself could be unbias and what we could do is everyone could send a vote to me each week or as many as possible and at the end of the week say on Saturday I could post the screenplays that got the most votes per week starting at 1 - 10

And that way there can be no conspiracy talk and it will be the voters who decide, someone else brought this up a few weeks ago and I have the time to recieve all these votes and tally a winner each week without being bias

Just an idea

That's perfect. How soon can this take effect?

I already know who's my vote go for this week.

Well this week is basically done, There is no place for me to actually post results but if you want to participate I'll take it seriously and what we can do is start right now.

If people are willing to participate what would make it so much easier on Don and even the members is send me 2 votes each for a different screenplay, so 2 votes per person but they cannot be for the same screenplay twice

I can have a top 10 starting next week but I think it would work best every other week because people need time to read the and look at the top 10 for the week

So you could send your votes to my pm and it would be that easy, and you can vote for shorts, series and full length films anything that's considered a screenplay on this site

If Don would give me either a board or tell me where I can post the result than it could be a lot more real but if you want to you can start sending votes anytime now and I'll have those details done by the time I post Results for the week

How come when I posted this nothing was done?  Now, some... new guy post and it quickly becomes a great idea?  I don't understand this.  Everyone said it was a terrible idea and la la la, when I mentioned how effective it would be.

Anyway, now that people are listening... yeah, this is a great idea and one i've been wanting to happen since my 1st post here over a month ago.

To add a little something, you should keep the top screenplays up for newer members.  For instance, until the top screenplay is voted off the top 10, it should remain in the list at however many votes it recieved compared to the next screenplay.

So like --

Screenplay X got 10 votes this week. It's number 1.

Screenplay B got 7 votes next week, but screenplay x still got 10 votes. It would stay at number 1 until a screenplay with more votes came along and knocked it off.

More like a box office chart than anything, only we aren't dealing with millions of dollars.  This way new members would still be able to easily find and read and know what screenplays are doing what on the boards.

That was my vision of this whole thing, yours might be different and since it is not I who is doing all the grunt work, I can't speak out too much about it I suppose.  I still would have liked this to be acknowledged a few weeks ago however.

That's why I said in my post here that someone else mentioned this weeks ago, you must have missed that and I did recognize weeks ago and have kept it in my mind as of late and than it resurfaced

If enough people send in votes I can do it that way, so if the next week someone votes for screenplay X I would continue to add up the votes. If a screenplay stays on there for a really long time I will kinda retire it into it's own hall of greatness because everyone likes it so much

Sounds fantastic!

HELL YEAH PEOPLE!!

I can't wait for this thing to kick in, and I'm glad other people are enthusiastic about it besides me. I think this would be great for newcomers who want to learn from the best screenplays as voted by writers.

I know this will certainly give me something to aim for in the future. Hope to see my script at No. 1 sometime!

Well you can send your votes anytime from now until later in the week when i'll post the results, I can give up the time needed to calculate votes and keep this going for as long as needed

And I'll even go as far as to never allow my own screenplays to be voted for to keep myself unbias

If you want to vote you get 2 votes for 2 different screenplays, I'll work out the details on where the results will go before next week anyways. 2 votes because it'll stop the voting for only your screenplay when you have to vote for 2 different ones that are the best in your opinion

You can just send votes to my pm anytime if you want

If this is to boost people's confidence..  Then lets just let me win every week.  hehe

heheheheh...hehhehhehe...hehehehhe
[end sarcasm sequence]
or not...i like the 2 vote idea though.  should keep things pretty equal and fair.  but going so far as not to allow yours to be accepted wesley?

that takes some really honesty lol  :p

isnt this what the walters are for?

there are too many forums already, you should just start a thread in the walters or something
