    I have no problem excluding CR67 and NSNA. As for the other films, we should keep it to one song/theme per film. However, as long as the person who runs the game (JFF?) explains the voting method at the start of the game, then I will have no complaints. ;)

    Me neither. I've been keeping out of most of these games, but this one is on my side of the glass.

    It was Sweepy's idea so maybe he could still run it, but with guidance from elim game veteran JFF.

    I've already suggested that idea to JFF in a PM. ;) Great minds really do think alike. :D

    Don't worry about it Sweepy. These elim games can be quite complicated. A music game is a great idea, and we can iron out these problems and get started on voting. {[]

    I feel a right plonker

    To echo what John Drake said, these elimination games can get quite daunting at first! That's why at the beginning of mine I asked everyone's opinion on how it should be run and tried to come to a happy medium that would please everyone, make it easy and make it fun.

    Everyone here seems to want me to take over or encourage you and it's up to you if you want to relinquish it because if you don't want to, that's completely understandable. However, I would like to give you a few pointers on how to run the games if you would like to keep it!

    For starters, there are a few songs you had to include! The Barry-OHMSS theme is one of the most famous songs from the franchise and was recently remixed by the Propellerheads. Also some spelling errors needed to be corrected. The Bond community 'round these forms always wants everything to be as factual as possible! Also, people felt the game was a bit rushed since we were eliminating songs right from the get-go and their favorite song would fall victim to the eliminated list too quickly (like Nobody Does it Better or All Time High, a song liked by three people ;) )

    A way I'd suggest to do it would be like the way I started my game. Every song has to have two points added to it before it can be saved. The last one to be saved would be eliminated. After a few rounds you can ditch the two-point adding and everyone can just save one until the last one goes to the eliminated list.

    Towards the end of the game (top 10 or top 7), I allotted 5 points to each of the contenders and then we reverted the Lazenby's ever popular +/- system. Also when it looked like the votes were deadlocked, I made the - worth 2 points and the + only worth one to get the game done faster. I believe if you did it this way it would be great! In fact, if Sweepy doesn't object, perhaps we could follow the rules of the Bond Girl Elimination Game with an updated list? I'll even make the list!

    Good luck Sweepy! I hope that it works out for you!

    Also, at the end of the game, would people mind if I did an mini-elimination game with all the unofficial/secondary songs? Those songs need love to ya know! :D ;)

    Maybe it would be best if this thread was closed and an "All New Bond Music Elimination Game" thread was opened ?

    Just a thought.

    I would also consider putting it in the general "films" section simply because it gets a lot more traffic.

    Between Sweepy's vote and Barbel's, Rita Coolidge has been removed from the game. :)) I know it's not the most popular song, but guys come on! :D. Anyway I'm putting her back, but not voting for her yet.

    Whoops! If you look at Sweepy's list you'll see AVTAK listed twice. In removing the second AVTAK (don't get excited, JFF, I'm not talking about a remake!) I've accidentally taken out ATH as well- and I like that one- since they were naturally close together.

    I think JFF would know better than I (I'm a music boffin, not a games one like he is), but it's my impression that the last one left after all the others have been saved gets eliminated.
