The people of Desperate Housewives all start off with 15 points in the game. TWoPpers can then cast either a (++) vote to give someone 2 points, 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. When half of the field is eliminated, then players will only be allowed to receive 1(+) vote, while still potentially receiving 2 negative votes. This is to help make sure the game doesn't last forever.


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

Can you also post the standings with your vote. It makes it easier to do the math and prevents an overkill/waste of vote.

Oh, awesome, ladyrott. Frankly, the chance to kill some of these people off will provide me with far more satisfaction than I got from watching the second half of this (IMO) disappointing first season!


Rex ++ In many ways the most complex and compelling character, IMO. I never quite knew what to expect from him next, but was always pretty sure I'd be entertained and intrigued. All the other male characters seem so one-dimensional and dull by comparison.

Lynette -- I'm already praying she dies first. What a truly horrible woman, made even worse by the fact that we're *supposed* to actually like and sympathize with her.

MAVO -- Because her 'big secret' was unintersting to me, and her sing-song-y voice makes me want to permanently mute my TV.

It's a good thing that Kathryn Joosten's character isn't on the list. I'd only vote for her, then.

So, here goes my next votes (kids only):
Andrew and Danielle: -- (DIE! I never liked those kids, although Andrew does have some entertaining qualities.)
Pug, Poodle & Pomeranian: ++ (Amazing, huh? Yes, because despite their usual "Get the hell out"-ness, they could be so sweet at times.)

This is fun. Too bad characters like Susan's mom, John, Justin and George aren't on the list. Can they be added?

Rex ++
Bree++
Zach ++ (hey, he's kinda evil. maybe he could give Andrew a run for his money in the evil department.)
Andrew++ (Maybe he'll run over John next time. If not, maybe Susan's mom. Plus having Andrew around gives Justin a chance to come back)

Lynette --( does the best she can with the material, but what awful material.)
Gabby -- (the whole baby plot is one big bore to me)
Paul-- (Why didn't he die instead of Rex. Just what is the point of his character now?)
MA -- (You had your turn. We know your secret. Time for you to go.)

Can I just give -- votes to Sophie and John anyway? I really don't like these characters...it can be a symbolic vote, even if it doesn't count.

I don't really mind Susan. I don't really don't care about Susan, but knowing that I helped to "kill" a character who can really be annoying...and if it keeps her mother from ever coming back, here's a big -- for Susan.

MA -- (Why can't Mrs Huber, Rex or Mama Solis have a turn)
Paul -- (The only future I see for you is being Carlos's cellmate, and I just don't care)

Here's how she dies:
[Mary Angela]Just as Mike walked into the door, Zana shot Susan, but lucky for Susan, Dean Cain was right around the corner to swiftly dive in and save her. Suddenly, Mike and Dean Cain began to argue concerning who would date Susan. They realized that they actually didn't want her at all, and decided to have a Ho!Yay of a time in Canada. Heartbroken, Susan tripped over a can of lima beans and broke her nose, which caused the Asian lady who did the bitch's pedicure to point and laugh, and laugh, and laugh. Sadly for Susan, she bled to her death the next day. And, Bree conducted Susan's funeral march with her usual elegance and perkiness.[/Mary Angela]

Susan: Mary Alice! I can join you for narrations now!
Mary Angela: Oh shit, YOU'RE the REAL reason I killed myself.

So how do the 3 ps die? I'm guessing that Lynette is too busy doing something else, so they run out into the street and Andrew, drunk after his father's funeral, comes zooming by and runs downs all three. The neighbors are so happy to see the terrors gone they don't take down Andrew's licence plate.
