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.

In my latest post, Jean is at 1, Ash is at 2. So unfortunately I think the only way is Jean +1, Ash -2. Is it possible to add point and minus point on the same candidate, especially at the very end of the round?

Honestly, we shouldn't focus so heavily on overkills. If someone intends to eliminate Jean and Javert, then let me eliminate Jean and Javert. So, what if they got a -1 at the end? They are still eliminated at the end of the day.

So can we add and minus point from one candidate?
The Power of Toons and Anime
In the past we have always counted overkills in cases were only two entries were left and it decided the round.

May the Fourth, yeah yeah.
Yeah, I intended to bump off Jean / Javert. Think there is a rule about it? No overkills until we reach the final Two?

Jake, you're up next! I'd say that this would be where you'd host the Father's Day round, but we had that too early, though I'm sure you have other ideas!
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"

Actually, can I host the 26th round instead?

Congratulations to Ash and whatever-you-decide-to-name-him! And if you'd rather wait a round, Jake, I can take the next one. The theme I have in mind is fictional archers, with Bow as my first nominee.
