Borrowed from the Desperate Housewives board. Here's the rules.

Each movie starts with 10 points. You vote by taking one point away from your least favorite movie. You add one point to your favorite movie. When a movie gets to zero, it is eliminated.

When we get down to 4 movies, we battle it out. The remaining 4 start with 0 points. We add a point to the movie we like the least. The first to get to 15 is eliminated. We keep doing this until we have a winner.

You can vote more than once to keep the voting going, but do not double post.

Melis

I'll start us out. I added a point for Pretty in Pink because that's my favorite. I took one away from Risky Business because that's my least favorite.

Sounds fun Melis, never played this one before. Can I just list my favorite and least favorite or should I copy the whole list each time?

Melis

I hope people like it. We have fun with it on DH.

You copy the list each time. Don't forget to add a point to your favorite and take away a point for your least favorite.

Rainstorm Jenny

If I pick the same favorite/least favorite as you for example Pretty in Pink for my favorite I would put a 12+, right? Sorry Im alittle slow today

Melis

Yes, that's right. If you also pick RB as your least favorite, it would be 8 -.

Rainstorm Jenny

Ok got it. I agree with your picks.

There is no limit as long as people don't double post. The idea is to keep the thread moving. I think people used to play survivor games, but it would take too long, so they came up with this way of doing it.

I should have clarified, though. You can only vote one time PER each post. It looks like you voted for a couple of things. You can only pick one favorite and one least favorite each time you post. If you're voting for something I didn't vote for, you take away my + and _.

Let's say you wanted to pick Can't Buy Me Love as your favorite and RB as your least favorite It would look like this.

Does this make sense? The next time you post, you can vote for a different favorite and a different least favorite but not at the same time.

Rainstorm Jenny

Oooh ok I get it now. I got confused with voting more then once on each.
