OK, to start off with, I will list off a few fairly popular science fiction franchises. Sorry, if it only made one movie and nothing else, I will not be counting it; it must contain one or more TV seasons, or at least three movies, books, games, graphic novels, or editions in other conceivable forms of media that are OFFICIAL releases (so no, anything fanmade does not count, however well-made it might be). Since we are taking franchises as a whole, we will NOT be counting such things as Star Trek: DS9 and Star Trek: Enterprise as separate entities. They will be lumped together under the single Star Trek franchise.
Now, as for how the game works, for those that do not understand elimination--you take points from one item on the list, and add them to another, and when a category reaches zero it is out--eliminated. In this case, you will be taking two points from one category, and adding one point to another of your choice. Why take away more than you add? To prevent a deadlock when it comes down to the last two, in case we have players competing with their favorite franchise.
Ehem, I was rambling. So, to recap. In your post, copy the list, take away two points from one franchise, and add one point to another. When a franchise is out of points it is eliminated and can no longer be affected. It is out forever!
And be SURE to clearly mark the categories you added to and subtracted from, so people know your choices for your post.
P.S. You cannot post twice in a row, aka, double-post. That is bad, so don't do it, m'kay? Let someone else post before you post again. Other than that you can post as frequently as you wish.
P.P.S. After you post make sure someone didn't post right before you. If they did, edit the scores on the list appropriately.
I also reserve the right to add categories to the list if enough people wish to see them added. I will NOT add more once any have reached 39 or less.
And now, without any further ado, the competitors!
