The rules are the same as before, you take away one point from one name and add it to another until only one name remains. Anyone can play and consecutive votes are legal, but players must always wait 60 minutes in between votes to give other players a chance to play.
When you play, please quote the player who last played and then adjust for your move. When you are finished, please double check your score. Sometimes two players play at the same time and whoever came in last will have to adjust their score because of it. Enjoy.
To honor the tenth anniversary of these elimination games, we're gonna do something completely different. The themes for the next five rounds are going to feature famous X-writers, X-artists, and X-storylines! Overall, there will be 20 writers, 20 artists, and 15 storylines featured. First up, here's the first batch of writers selected through a random drawing of the 20, and I'm including mini-bios for each in case you may not be familiar with some(I also suggest each player looks them up on their own as well, so to be better familiar with their work and can judge fairly):
1. Chris Claremont ~ The man responsible for what many consider the golden age of the X-Men, giving us storylines such as the Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past, as well as launching Excalibur and New Mutants, and will currently be writing New Exaclibur and Exiles.
2. Peter Milligan ~ A recent writer of adjectiveless X-Men, he is most known for his X-Statix series, which received critical acclaim, and has given us storylines such as Blood of Apocalypse and Bizarre Love Triangle.
3. Chuck Austen ~ A controversial writer, he wrote Uncanny X-Men across from Grant Morrison during his run, as well as taking over X-Men when Morrison left, creating such stories as Polaris being Magneto's daughter, Angel and Husk becoming lovers and having sex in the sky infront of everyone, Nightcrawler having a demon father, and the Church of Humanity. Also briefly wrote Exiles and Ultimate X-Men.
4. Mike Carey ~ Current writer of adjectiveless X-Men, who introduced us to the Children of the Vault, in a story that has brought back some much needed credibility to the title.
5. Ed Brubaker ~ Current writer of Uncanny X-Men, who finally solved the mystery of the Third Summers Brother, by introducing a new character, Vulcan, to much controversy, who set out to destroy the Shi'ar Empire when he learned of his origins.
6. Scott Lobdell ~ Briefly wrote for Uncanny X-Men, where he helped to establish clear continuity between the titles, and Excalibur, and started out the much fan favored title, Generation X, which he wrote for several years.
7. Alan Davis ~ Helped to launch Excalibur with Claremont, later returning to write the book solo and help to firmly establish a name for the English X-team, as well as doing several short stints on both Uncanny and Adjectiveless X-Men.
8. Brian K. Vaughn ~ His main X-related claim to fame is a much underrated run on Ultimate X-Men, where he introduced several controversial versions of characters such as Sinister, Longshot, and Deathstrike, also wrote a couple limited series surrounding Cyclops and Chamber, as well as starting Mystique on her solo title.
9. Mark Millar ~ Founded the much touted Ultimate X-Men title, restarting the team in a much more gritty and realistic world that received a lot of critical and fan praise. Also responsible for the highly popular Enemy of the State arc in Wolverine's solo title where Wolverine is brainwashed into trying to kill the heroes of the world.
10. Peter A. David ~ Most known for his work on the X-Factor titles, giving new dynamics to many of the characters on his teams and eventually relaunching the title again very recently, thanks to the success of the Madrox miniseries.
Again, I suggest you look up anything else about these guys you might not be familiar with:
1. Chris Claremont 10
2. Peter Milligan 10
3. Chuck Austen 10
4. Mike Carey 10
5. Ed Brubaker 10
6. Scott Lobdell 10
7. Alan Davis 10
