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.

Well that sure was a chaotic finale.
Late to this, but IINM Muffin is a guy.
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"GG! Hope we get to do another one like this soon...
"As long as I have my comrades with me, I can do anything!" (She/Her) (Current Focus: Cleaning Hell Is That Noise misuse)To once again celebrate the winner...
Yippe, Daisy won for real!
I mainly voted for her because A) She shares a name with one of my favorite literary characters and B) I like her.

Victor of HGS S320 | "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember."I've made some more calculations, this time adding the first boots and who nominated them as well as which franchise each entry represents. The updated statistic specifics can be found in a new folder added to the original TVT meta thread post, but here are the cliffnotes:
The three franchises with the most Hall Of Fame entries are the Disney Animated Canon, Super Mario (including Wario-Ware and other spin-offs), and The Legend of Zelda, with 18, 11 and 10 entries respectively. The franchise with the most first boots is the Sonic franchise with four.
The crown for most first boots is split between LucasdaKool and YourEternalTroper, who both each have six.
I'd also like to volunteer to host round 57, if that's possible.

Well, that's upsetting. I find Nintendo's copyright abuse and their attitude towards fans to be worth of the worst moral judgment. I am very disappointed that one of theirs won the all-stars one.

I wouldn't go that far
Guess it’s my round now… oh boy…
Clowns! Everyone loves a clown! They’re an icon of childhood and circuses all over the planet. With their big goofy smiles, their cheeky face-paint, their ulterior depression, their criminal ways, their habit of murdering… Actually clowns aren’t all that great. But they’re everywhere in media, so might as well see who’s the best in this game.
And I’ll also allow fictional mimes and jesters, since they often get lumped together.
