Maybe someone just specific to you?

I had only had one “friend” previous to this thread – I made him a “favorite,” so everyone currently on my friends list is a Doper.

I have 15 on my list now, and this is the only place I have put my link, so everyone is either someone I clicked on here or who clicked on mine here. I don’t have mcm87 on my list, so if they are from here, they aren’t adding everyone.

This is also bad, since I now have 59 movies in my queue and I just don’t watch them that fast. 😃

My top match is **Jamie (EofA)** at 80%, with my lowest **Twickster** and **Chris** at 58%. And Nonsuch and are are finally matching at 73%.

And all of those percentages increased when I rated about 10 more movies while waiting for the server to show up again.

Hahaha, I seem to be low on almost everyone’s percentage. Wonder why that is?

I’ll free up two or three more spots tonight.

Wait, you’re **Chris** right? We match 77%.

In other news, but nickname has been updated. So it matches this one.

[QUOTE=twickster]  
So do we have any idea who **mcm87** is? He or she is my highest match (currently 82%), and I’m fairly curious.  
[/QUOTE]

It’s Meeeeee!

I haven’t been back to this thread for a few days. Meant to send PMs to warn folks. At least I keep a seperate queue for my son so I won’t appear to be recommending Doogal to you.

I have to read through the whole thread to catch up. Anyone else taking the “friend quizzes” ?

How can Twickster have an 82% match with me? My side shows a 72% match? Shouldn’t they be the same?

Is it too late to invite more friends?

Hahaha, I take the friend quiz all the time. It’s pretty fun.  
I also enjoy clicking on movies in common a lot to see how others rated movies in comparison to me.  
**Brewha** , wow! It didn’t show that yesterday but now it does. 😃

Lets see, how many more spots to open? **Gwen, Enright,** , and **labtrash** …so three.

I’m surprised at how few of you write reviews.

I think I’m all caught up with adding (still missing Idle Thoughts, but I’ll be watching for an opportunity…)

My closest match is Jim with 73%

</div>

Added everyone in this topic but **Sassy** whom I can’t due to no link and running out of room again. 😛 I’ll free up a space for her tonight when I come home, though, in case she wants to click my link.

And wow, **labtrash** just vaulted ahead on my list (ahead of **brewha** ) to become my highest percentage. 78%!

Edit: Oop, need to add a space for **Susie** now too. 🙂

Gah. Just added a few people, but can’t remember who. So if you see _another_ Jamie, it’s probably me.

**labtrash** has taken the lead on my list, too, but only at 69%. I guess I’m just the oddball. 😉

An astonishing **three** matches at 87% with labtrash, Miller and Susie Derkins. We should all go out for a beer sometime.
