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.

It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!I think I'll try my hand at a team battle.
Team Battle: Artists vs. Scientists
Any medium of art versus any field of science, sanity optional. Join us as we keep up the time-honored argument of Romanticism versus Enlightenment.
The general rules for entries will be the same as they have been for the last two team battles. Each poster nominates two candidates per entry, one for each team, and can submit two entries total (four nominations, two for each team; this restriction will obviously be lowered if we can't hit our minimum in 48 hours). For thematic purposes, I'll allow for one poster to submit two characters from the same work at the same time.
I'm shooting for a minimum of 30 entries, 15 on each team. Let's begin, shall we?
Team Art
Team Science
"Hmm... it appears that browsing this wiki doesn't seem to violate any school rules. Continue." | My Wall

Braids From S286 Not Included
3. Sci-Twi and Human Rarity (science for the former and arts for the latter, fashion design counts as art, right?)
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!" Yes, it does.
4.Dr. Doofensmirtz & Perry The Platypus (Mad Science and Martial Arts) Phineas and Ferb

8. Venti (Arts) and Il Dottore (Science)
While Venti isn't a visual artist, he is bard, which I feel counts as him being a performing artist. If he doesn't count, I can change my entry.
