Sting Barrow-Downs Survivor

Gil-Galad and I are proud to present the latest chapter in the Survivor saga.

The contestants in this round are 40 noted BDers on the forum.

Rules:

Each round will be 24 hours long and will start and end at 4:00 PM Eastern time (That's 8:00 PM GMT). Well, the first round starts now and ends at 4:00 EST tomorrow, but you get the idea.

One contestant will be voted out each round. If more than one candidate is chosen, they'll all be out, unless there are more than three, in which case one candidate will be chosen at random.

To cast a vote, post it thus:

++Meneltarmacil

To retract your vote, do the same, b ut with minus signs instead of plus signs:

--Meneltarmacil

You may not vote for more than one contestant unless the previous vote is retracted.

The contestants are as follows:

++Hookbill the Goomba.

He started Mount Zoom. That joke is whored out and terrible. Send the maker away.

I rather like Burrahobbit. He may not show up as much as everyone, or contribute, but he's like a Ben Franklin-esque type personality. He may be sleeping or unattentive during council, but when he actually is there and awake, the wisest and best input he does have.

Wow, this is going to get interesting, which one of my fellow (all of which I do admire) downers should I start after.

We already have way too much authority here in this place, the admins and mods should be diminished. It reminds me too much of Big Brother, we don't want authority ruling over and limitting our fun:

++The Barrow-wight

There I did it. Now may I be smoten.

Sorry to be this tight, but how fun this actually is?

In a way yes, a funny idea, but shouldn't we ask all the people involved if they are happy to be in this kind of game?

EDIT: I mean. It would be fun if all the people in it are wholeheartedly in with it and wish to be the objects of this kind of a vote. But have you actually considered that some people might react to this kind of game differently?
