General Discussion for Ranking Game

I’ve kinda been doing that with my polls every ten Main Range releases.

Yeah I’ve not been participating in this Elimination game because I don’t know who most of them are :man_shrugging:t2:

I think we need to either stick to things everyone knows, or as you said have two running together.

Yeah, that’s why I haven’t been participating in it. I haven’t listened to more than a few audios.

I am open to sacrificing myself if we get some heat in the game… as much as I don’t think Helen A deserves the title but heeeeey she is great.

Me neither but I think that it is okay to not have one running for me right now. Feels like a break. Maybe we could add a rule that after 100 responses you start to remove 3 points and after 150 you can remove 4 points.

Or maybe base it on the time it has been running.

As Shauny said, I haven’t participated in this one because I have limited knowledge about most of the choices.

I was surprised that it was still going when I came back after a couple of days. I think having mixed media ones can be a bit niche.

This seems like a solid idea.

I definitely didn’t expect this to go on as long as it has. I’ll try to make more niche games a little smaller in scale, at the very least.

Speeding things up sounds fine to me, too. However I do feel more popular elimination games can go by pretty quickly with a lot of replies. I wonder if it is less about the number of replies and more about time elapsing? I.e. 3 points after 1 week, 4 after 2 weeks, and so on.

I like the idea of parallel games, too, especially as a lover of more obscure and less popular content. I don’t think its ever been established there only has to be one elimination game at a time, either.

I like that some are more niche even if I don’t participate in all of them.

This is probably better even if it is harder to track.

The problem with changing the rules mid-game is that people don’t remmeber the new rules and make plenty of mistakes, and it all turns into a wibbly-wobbly mess.

Remember what happened the last time we tried to flip the concept, the chaos that ensued…?

That’s a really good point. Rule changes seem to put a lot of random and unreasonable strain on our mods. :laughing:

I think it would probably be easier to just do a ‘‘mainstream’’ game for a wide audience and a (maybe shorter) ‘‘niche’’ one for us weirdos who have absorbed wayyy to much Who haha I struggle to count to two enough already without new rules :sweat_smile:

Maybe instead of new rules, we can just drop in and subtract 5 points from the two with 13?

That’ll speed it up.

But… Now you’ve brought Death to Death, doesn’t that bring life? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
All the eliminated villains must now surely be brought back into the game… Shall we say at 5 points each?:thinking:

This is a silly joke, please let’s not prolong this one :wink:

It was always going to come down to those final two. Helen A is a brilliant villain (my favourite from Seven’s TV era, even beating Light who’s excellent) and Nobody No-One is in opinion the best villain Big Finish have ever created.

Worthy winners :tada:

It’s not a big surprise that this was the first to go.
