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.

Great game, Troper No. 9001, and thank you and others for being a part of the process and helping all these characters try to find themselves again!
And now to you ~Uncertan Searcher, to help more missed lives.

Discombobulate.
May the Fourth, yeah yeah.
Two in a row 9k1, see if you can get a three for three!
BTW, dibs on Round 69

It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!
It wasn't a rock
Sorry, not open just yet.
Braids From S286 Not Included
Actually, I was expecting Dory to get 2nd because a Pixar character just won the round before that one, but I'll take it!
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
The Power of Toons and Anime
Alright then. I originally wanted to do this idea last year in October, but ultimately decided against it since I had a lot going on at that time.
It might not be as fitting for the season now, but you know what? We always could do with a bit more magic in our lives. So be they cute or hot or wicked, the good, bad, young, old all the same, lets gather Witches for this game!
While most nominations will inevitably be female here, keep in mind that if a work treats the term "witch" as gender neutral then any witch from that work will qualify for this round regardeless of gender.
Allow me to demonstrate:
1. Qifrey
As always, sending submitting elimination quotes is very much appreciated.
2. Professor Minerva McGonagall
Edited by skan123 on Jan 29th 2024 at 10:45:11 AM

3. Ashley
BTW, please call me Jake.
