Elimination Game, Mk. II

Go To

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/creator-specific (crossovers and prolific companies 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. However, when at least a day has passed and/or at least twenty-five entries have been nominated, this rule can be relaxed a bit.
  • 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.
    • Team Battles are an exception to both of the above rules, where a poster can nominate one nominee per team in a single post, and can choose to have both entries be in the same property (limit of two per franchise still applies, except when given an exception).
  • 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.
  • When hosting, please make sure that you have a death quote to send the eliminated entry off. Research the work if you have to, or at the very least make an applicable pun. The submitter can PM the death quote to the host in case they don't know the source work in question, though the host can elect not to use it if they know the work or see questionable content in the submission. (credit to Troper No. 9001)
  • 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.
  • This rule here is something important, so important that should be stressed! Since this game will have a somewhat competitive tinge to it, please be respectful towards others and treat this game as what it is: Just a fun game. Aggressive coercion, threats by tropers towards other tropers and hosts, and major assholism will be unaccepted, regardless if it's in the thread or in PMs. Hosts and non-hosts that receive such kinds of PMs can resolve the issues by politely dealing with the problematic troper in the PMs, but if it gets out of hand, you should discuss the issue at Ask The Tropers. (credit to callmeamuffin)
  • The one entry remaining wins!

    Original post 
There already is a Country Elimination Game in this forum, but it's approaching a decade old and the last (very dormant) activity was more than a year ago at this point, so it'll make sense that I start a new thread, and not use "Country" to more clearly broaden the theme scope. We start out nominating 25 entities then have an elimination system of adding one point and removing two points in every post, distributing each individual point however they please (you can remove two points from one entry or remove one point from two). The last entity standing wins! I'll keep score for this one, and the theme for this round will be fictional areas. My first nomination:

  1. Pepperland - 10

Oh yeah, and whoever keeps score each round gets to pick the theme.

Team Battle: Who Can Haul The Most Passengers?

Planes, Trains and Watercraft

EG Rules: This round is special. Every vehicle is racing one another. To add in some flair, here are some voting rules.

  1. This round is filled with obstacles. Thus, instead of voting, players choose which vehicles miss one and which hit one.
  2. There are three preset "voting" messages for +1, that being "[VEHICLENAME] manages to pass through an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME].", "[VEHICLENAME] maneuvers out of the way of an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME]." and "[VEHICLENAME] nearly hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME], but misses."
  3. There are three preset "voting" messages for -1, that being "[VEHICLENAME] hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME].", "[VEHICLENAME] tries to maneuver out of the way, but still hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME]." and "[VEHICLENAME] breaks down, having to call a tugboat to dock for repairs (Ship)/call a mechanic to assess the damage done (Train)/glide to the nearest airport for repairs (Plane)."
  4. There are two preset "voting" messages for -2, that being "[VEHICLENAME] hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME] twice, heavily damaging it." and "[VEHICLENAME] hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLE1], and then hits another one/[OBSTACLE2], heavily damaging it."
  5. You are free to use the normal voting system if you like.
  6. Alright. On your mark! Three! Two! One! Go!

Team Battle: Who Can Haul The Most Passengers?

Planes, Trains and Watercraft

EG Rules: This round is special. Every vehicle is racing one another. To add in some flair, here are some voting rules.

  1. This round is filled with obstacles. Thus, instead of voting, players choose which vehicles miss one and which hit one.
  2. There are three preset "voting" messages for +1, that being "[VEHICLENAME] manages to pass through an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME].", "[VEHICLENAME] maneuvers out of the way of an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME]." and "[VEHICLENAME] nearly hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME], but misses."
  3. There are three preset "voting" messages for -1, that being "[VEHICLENAME] hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME].", "[VEHICLENAME] tries to maneuver out of the way, but still hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME]." and "[VEHICLENAME] breaks down, having to call a tugboat to dock for repairs (Ship)/call a mechanic to assess the damage done (Train)/glide to the nearest airport for repairs (Plane)."
  4. There are two preset "voting" messages for -2, that being "[VEHICLENAME] hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLENAME] twice, heavily damaging it." and "[VEHICLENAME] hits an obstacle/[OBSTACLE1], and then hits another one/[OBSTACLE2], heavily damaging it."
  5. You are free to use the normal voting system if you like.
  6. Alright. On your mark! Three! Two! One! Go!
