Rules:
•The rules are simple (er, kind of): For those who may or may not know, each item on the list begins with 15 points. You either add two points to (e.g. ++), or subtract two points from (e.g. --), each item on the list. You can also add or subtract just one point if you so choose. When a list item reaches 0, it is out of the game and relegated to the death list.
•You vote once a day. For the purposes of this game, a day ends at 11:59 PM and begins at 12:00 AM, your local time (so you can post at 11:59 PM tonight and at 12:00 AM tomorrow, and each post counts for a different day). You can vote for or against only three items per post. When 50% of the field is gone, then you can add a maximum of one point (+) to an item. So, with half or more of the field gone the only possible votes are (--), (-), or (+). The last surviving item wins.
•In a nutshell: you can post one set of votes per day where each set consists of one vote per item for up to three items, and each vote consists of (++), (+), (--), or (-). You cannot place three votes for one item in a single day--e.g., your vote can't be "++Oranges" three times in one day. After voting, please remember to reorder the list so that everyone can easily understand the standings.
•If you post the initial list for a round, please place the vote count on the left (e.g. 15-Oranges) rather than on the right (e.g. Oranges-15). The scores are easier to keep track of when the numbers are on the left.
•At the beginning of each round, the list-creator can decide whether or not to require death descriptions for each item killed off. You can either list dead items and how they died, or just list dead items, if you don't require kill-off descriptions. Either way, we'll keep a death list counting backwards (if there are 47 items on a list, the death count will be 47, 46, 45, and so on...if there are 10 items on the a list the death count will be 10, 9, 8, etc.).
We can start with Outstanding Drama Series from the past 25 years, including last year's winner. I don't know how well this will go since we have multiple winners. I put the season for which wach so won next to each show.
