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, dang.
Should've started downvoting Vaporeon earlier, shouldn't I have.
Anyway, 2nd and 3rd is good enough. Congrats, Lucas. Well fought.

Good game.

Braids From S286 Not Included
Confession time: I never really cared how far Vaporeon placed in this round since I believed that 7th place in Second Chances was already good enough for it. Still, I wasn't expecting it to win because some people were so determined to bring it down once more, but I'll take it, anyway!
And late to this, but Beat Up is a Dark-type move, so it wouldn't have been super-effective on Pikachu. :P
I was once corrected for making a Normal-type move "super effective" in the past, okay? Besides, "Critical Hit!" is often forgotten about.
Edited by TroperNo9001 on Dec 13th 2023 at 10:34:24 PM
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"I know, but the mental image of a bunch of tropers ganging up to beat the everloving shit out of a Pikachu was too funny to pass up.
CG for short
Hey, 6k, you came off as a little confrontational with the "okay" at the end of one of the last few sentences in your post. Even if you didn't mean to, I'm just letting you know.
Yippe, Vaporeon won! A well deserved victory!
