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.

Come play Character Uplift Game!Oh depression, this is the best day you’ve ever had.
Congrats, Lucas. And also want to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Elimination game (started one year ago yesterday by Graf Von Tirol).
Edited by CanuckMcDuck1 on Jan 8th 2024 at 3:35:01 AM
Discombobulate.Happy anniversary, Eliminators!
We all know Pokemon is very popular on the net, so the theme will be...
A few ground rules
- There is a hard limit of thirty entries, three entries per region, with three wild cards for three different regions once all regions are filled.
- They have to appear in the mainline games.
- The Kahunas from Alola do count as Gym Leaders as they do fill that role.
- Former Gym Leaders are allowable. But their replacement cannot be nominated.
- Teams like Liza and Tate will count as one entry.
I'll nominate good old Brock as my first entry.
It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!TBH, I think having a round based on one franchise no matter how popular it is kinda is restricting. Think I'm going to sit out this round, as I'm not really a Pokemon guy.
Edited by MummyGaGa on Jan 8th 2024 at 4:52:57 AM
BTW, please call me Jake.Farmboy, would you allow other kinds of gym leaders (outside of Pokemon), as long as they fit the description you provided?
Yeah I meant just gym coaches in fiction.
