Some rules for this edition of the Elimination Game:
- Scorekeeper picks the theme. Please keep it reasonable because the last thing we need is drama. That is to say keep it from being political, NSFW, franchise-specific (crossovers can work if well-known and broad enough, and with a readily available list to choose from) or with obtuse specifications.
- The game begins with at least twenty-five entries, depending on the scorekeeper's discretion. One entry per post, and up to two posts per poster unless 48 hours have passed, then anything goes until there are 25 entrants. Wait at least two posts before posting a second entry.
- At the nomination phase, a maximum of two entries from the same franchise can participate at any given round, and if at all only one such entry per person. In the event that the theme can be restrictive, this rule can be relaxed as per the scorekeeper's discretion.
- You are not required to nominate an entry in order to participate.
- All votes add one point to an entry, and take two points away. Those points can be distributed however you wish, so long as there is one -2 or two -1s. No exceptions!
- Invalid votes must be edited within two scorekeeper updates in order to count.
- Any entry that reaches zero is eliminated. Scorekeepers send them off with an evil message [[evil:like so]]
- Space your votes between at least five other peoples' votes, unless 24 hours have passed with not that much activity. In any context, no doubleposting.
- If the host makes a post stating the intent to tally, they have up to an hour to do the tallying. Otherwise the post will be null and void and the round shall proceed.
- If there's no update for 48 hours, the game can be safely called off or taken over by a willing participant. Scorekeepers must temporarily transfer duties to a different poster if they can't do so for a while.
- The one entry remaining wins!
If it's been 24 hours since the last game and the waitlisted troper hasn't posted, it's free game.

Swept Just Shy of the Podium
As we all know, first is the worst, second is the best, and third is the one with the coconut chest. But what does the poor sap in fourth place get? Not much. They might receive a participation trophy. Perhaps a pat on the back. Maybe an empty musing or two about what could have been. I bet itβd be nice if maybe, just once, they could have another shot at stardom. That is why we are gathered here today; to give these fourth-placers a second chance to earn that spot in the top three and have their names adorned in gold, gray and cinnamon-colored text.
The rules are simple: Youβre free to nominate whoever you want, so long as they placed fourth in a previous round. We start in two days unless we meet our minimum in under 24 hours, yada yada, you know how I roll. Iβll start with a fourth-placer from one of my rounds.
- She Blinded Me With Science (One-Hit Wonders)
Yeah, my first entry is a song. What of it? What does matter is that SBMWS placed fourth in the One-Hit Wonders round, which makes it eligible for this round. Please put the respective rounds they're from in parentheses, if possible. I hope you guys can see what I'm going for, but I can give some tips if need be; all you have to do is ask.
