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.

3. Keitaro Urashima- Got Naru-punched out of the Hinata House... and never came back. (credit to Pogakure)

7. Helga G. Pataki- With such luck, how's she gonna win Football Head's heart?
8. Túrin Turambar- Wasn't the Downer Ending to his story harsh enough?

And the lucky winner of this round is:
DONALD DUCK!
From 1934 until today, this white ball of anger has been soaked in misfortune after misfortune, with very few bones thrown at him. After winning this error-filled, tight round, his angry duck noises stop, replaced with happy cheering.
The runner-up is none other than:
WILE E. COYOTE!
From 1949 onwards, catching the Road Runner was nothing but torture; falling of cliffs, crushed by boulders, run over by every vehicle in sight... Maybe he can take solace that, while not the winner, he's got a respectable podium spot.
Round out the top three is:
LUIGI!
Mario's cowardly little brother always suffers pratfalls while on adventures, being rescuing the princess or his brother, or simply during games. Still, his heart is in the right place!

Just a random 🐈
Now, for the next round..
Fictional Food/Drink
Simply put, any kind of food/drink items that either origin from or be mostly known thanks to a work of fiction. Real life food/drink are allowed, if it is iconic enough for the work
Let's see if we can get 30 entries

Meow meow meow (I am just a lil’ hungry cat, I have nothing to do with a certain guy who hired an assassin)
May the Fourth, yeah yeah.
3. Sandvich. If that's now allowed, Bonk! Atomic Punch
Edited by TheFarmboy on Sep 27th 2023 at 12:10:27 PM
It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!
Toyota 2000GT
I'm claiming myself as the round #46 host.
4. The Cake (which is a lie)
I liked hosting a lot to be honest; I think I'll go #47, after Jack.
If I'm not too late, that is.
5. Lembas (one piece is enough to fill your stomach for a week!)
Braids From S286 Not Included
3rd Place for Luigi again? I'll take it. 
Anyway, 6. Own-Flavored Tea
Edited by TroperNo9001 on Sep 27th 2023 at 10:54:04 PM
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
May the Fourth, yeah yeah.

"Hmm... it appears that browsing this wiki doesn't seem to violate any school rules. Continue." | My Wall
To skan, I don't think you can be added if the host list is empty, as I was told. Which is a pity. I wanted to claim a place on it.
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
I noticed a typo, it's supposed to be Elixir Soup.
Tooru
13. "Condensed Evil"
(This one only appears in one scene but I remember it fondly. Here's its wiki page.)
It wasn't a rock
14. Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster
Okay, look. You can't just call dibs on any game past five games ahead. Such slots open up as soon as a new set of signups initiates, and I have no plan to expand the wait list past five.
EDIT: Okay, I thought 46 was still open, but yeah, my bad for not paying attention there

Toyota 2000GT
Oooh, we doing one scene wonders? Let's go with the food item tied to the most *legendary* moment of Critical Role's Campaign Two. Because, if you want to trick a long-living hag feeding on suffering into freeing your friend from a curse she put on them, you do so with a goddamn baked good.
15. The Last Blueberry Cupcake (with Dust of Deliciousness)
Edit: No, it is not.
Edited by JackCossack on Sep 27th 2023 at 5:47:27 PM
Jack's the one who called for #46.
Edited by skan123 on Sep 27th 2023 at 8:48:21 AM
Yes, and his request filled it up again, which means we can't be added until it's empty again. Unless we can reserve a round, of course, in which case I'd like to reserve the one after skan.

Donald Duck +1
Wile E. Coyote -2
