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.

I keep forgetting to update this
Me and a few of my friends really like Burgerpants, glad to see he managed to win for them.

I wonder what his death quote could've been... maybe "He can't go to hell anyway, he's all out of vacation days"?
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
May the Fourth, yeah yeah.
Beavis lasted a lot longer than I thought he would, got to love that little fartknocker.
It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!

Round 68:
We’ve had a couple of rounds themed after tropes, such as Shock and Awe, Large Ham, and The Friend Nobody Likes, but what if we themed a round after another archetype trope? The mean girl(s) who rule, usually the school, with an iron fist. The Alpha Bitch. This round’s theme is Fictional Alpha Bitches!
As always, players submit entries below this post. There will be a minimum of 25 entries. If you need help with thinking of entries, visit the main page for Alpha Bitch, and you might find some ideas for entries there.
Given that Alpha Bitch has 10701 wicks as of writing and is an Overdosed Trope, I don’t think this theme will be difficult to work with, but just in case, if you find the theme too difficult, please let me know.
![[down]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_down.png "[down]"){kind=icon}
Sure, provided they are/were mean enough, so Lovable Alpha Bitch is permitted. I'd say no to entries that are completely a Class Princess.
