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.

Had a gut feeling that Midna might take this round. Guess my gut feeling was right there. It's a bit fitting here since Midna is the Image Source for the Dark Is Not Evil Video Games page.
Anyway, ~PuzzarianIdeal is up next.

Well, it seems as though we are now officially at my turn. I didn't think we'd get this far, but here we are. I guesd that means it's time for me to do a round, I guess. Let's see, hm, ah!
Let's take our time nominating for this next category, shall we?
The power to control and/or alter time- from slowing it down, to accelerating it, going to the past anf future. Time is a finicky thing, and those who wield it are definitely characters you should be wary of. From a hero who has unlimited tries to save the world, to a villain who has the closest possible thing to a protagonist's plot armor, the power of time is limitless.
And now, we start the clock. Time’s ticking, tropers.
