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.

Meow meow meow (I am just a lilβ hungry cat, I have nothing to do with a certain guy who hired an assassin)~Geeky Girl 13098021, you are up! I just forgot to ping earlier.
Goes without saying that if the round doesn't start in the 24 hours since my round ended. Anyone can start a round.

1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (all editions) progress: 426/1089 (39.12%)Happy 7,000+ posts!
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"Wonder if it must be fictional things, or at least things with a related work page on TV Tropes?
Meow meow meow (I am just a lilβ hungry cat, I have nothing to do with a certain guy who hired an assassin)Maybe we can dabble with IRL topics.
It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!It's possible to do so. With a hard caveat about how to approach them (eg I tend to frown on the use of politics for games like this)
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (all editions) progress: 426/1089 (39.12%)However, I think we should focus on using fictional things first.What happens if the round theme is Real People/family/friend or sth like that and someone decided to nominate themselves or their family member/friend/lover...?
Edited by LucasdaKool on Jun 2nd 2023 at 10:42:31 AM
Meow meow meow (I am just a lilβ hungry cat, I have nothing to do with a certain guy who hired an assassin)I don't see why we would do that with real people tbh
Edited by ZuggaluggalocoroG on Jun 2nd 2023 at 12:43:09 PM
Not even stars last forever.I meant things like Battle of the Bands or desserts. It would be a shitstorm to use politicians.
It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!That I'm not opposed to. Battle of the Bands has been something I thought of possibly doing in the past, though someone can do it too. Another thing I can possibly see is the use of ancient/medieval countries. I'm into history so I find a round about that fascinating.
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (all editions) progress: 426/1089 (39.12%)Maybe we should do them if we don't get a response in the 24 hours or whatever, I'm down too
Edited by ZuggaluggalocoroG on Jun 2nd 2023 at 12:54:53 PM
Not even stars last forever.Is a Troper round where we nominate ourselves a good idea?
Meow meow meow (I am just a lilβ hungry cat, I have nothing to do with a certain guy who hired an assassin)I feel like if we are doing real life topics, then it may be best to have a rule against nominating controversial real life figures just in-case like we do in the HGS.
I wouldn't exactly enjoy that idea since I feel that would easily cause drama whenever we deduce points to someone.
Edited by MummyGaGa on Jun 2nd 2023 at 1:57:41 PM
BTW, please call me Jake.What are considered controversial? Political figures, religious figures and what else? Are all historical figures controversial? Also I have a few possible ideas for fictional rounds, but I don't want to host.
Edited by LucasdaKool on Jun 2nd 2023 at 11:00:36 AM
Meow meow meow (I am just a lilβ hungry cat, I have nothing to do with a certain guy who hired an assassin)Any round that involves real life people would just be asking to turn into drama, better to stay entirely clear of that and just use stuff like music albums or food for rounds about non-fictional stuff.
