I’ve been missing the survival game recently, and the dark days of January seemed like a good time to revive it. I hope I’m not stepping on any toes with this, but I thought a nice short game would be the All Jeffrey Combs edition proposed in one of the previous threads.

The characters played by Jeff, in the game, all start off with 15 points. Because it’s such a short list, I think it would be best as a lightning round: TWoPpers can cast either a (+) vote to give someone 1 point, or a (--) to take away 2 votes. Each TWoPper can only cast their votes once a day. That's a calendar day, not 24 hours between votes. You can vote at 11:59pm, and again 2 minutes later at 12:01am. You can vote for 3 people at a time. When someone's vote total reaches 0, they're eliminated. The TWoPper who casts the death vote gets to write the death scene, if they wish.

Also, you can't vote for one person multiple times in a day (i.e. you can't slap Shran with 6- in a day!)... it has to be 3 different people.

Would you please post the standings with your vote? It makes it easier to do the math and prevents an overkill/waste of vote. Also, please preview your post before you submit it, so you can make sure another TWoPper hasn’t posted while you were typing.

The list is:

15 - Krem (ENT, episode "Acquisition") – cowardly member of the Ferengi gang who try to rob Enterprise
15 - Shran (ENT) – blue. Cool. Antennae.
15 - Penk (VOY, episode “Tsunkatse”) – the alien pitting 7 of 9 against The Rock
15 - Det. Mulcahey (DS9, episode “Far Beyond the Stars”) – a cop in Benny Russell’s reality
15 - Weyoun (DS9) – the ultimate Vorta (I’m counting all the Weyouns as one here, otherwise I think madness will ensue)
15 - Brunt (DS9) – everyone’s favourite liquidator
15 - Tiron (DS9, episode “Meridian”) – the alien who wants a holodeck program with Kira as the star attraction

Oh yeah... survivor. Kinda forgot about that. And... lost... the e-mails everyone sent me with suggestions about the Prom Rejects list. This sounds like a fun round, though, and I'll drop back in to vote later.

I'll resend if I can find it, dude.

Obligatory death scene
He was as wealthy as a king, but that's not why they called him "Tiron Rex." The real reason: when Kira was done with him, he was mostly extinct.

Penk smelled what the Rock was cooking.

It was definitely a mistake to ransack the ship captained by the Furrowed One, but Krem looted it anyway. The mistake turned fatal when the captain, in an attempt to save his ship, locked them both in the airlock and hit the wrong button.

Yup, killing Archer never gets old.

Well, I might as well help move the game along. And I like Shran:

I've only seen FBtS three times.
I didn't enjoy that episode the first time (like everyone else), so I gave it two extra chances to change my opinion.
It didn't work, so I have blocked the majority of it from my memory.

I loved Shran because a hard-nosed "man of action" was completely different from what we usually expected from Jeff Combs. Outside of Phlox, Shran was my favorite character on Enterprise.

I, too, loved Shran because he was one of the few things to salvage from ENT. I'm still on the petition for Star Trek: Three Men and a Dog (Trip, Shran, Phlox, and Porthos).
