    Here is @timmer's proposed list again. I'd say that if he doesn't show up within a certain period, somebody else can run it. Its becoming a usual pattern this, isn't it...

    to whoever is tabulating. I vote best secondary bond-girl.

    here is the list again, copied from page 8. Only actress credit I am not sure of is Kell Tyler as yacht-girl in TLD. We all know the character, but I am only making educated guess that Tyler is the actress. It's hard to suss from the credits and other basic research.
    Naturally best 3rd string Bond-girl would follow. Logical progression. I would be happy to compile that list, when needed.

    1. Zena Marshall as Taro
    2. Eunice Gayson as Sylvia Trench
    3. Shirley Eaton as Jill Masterson
    4. Luciana Paluzzi as Fiona
    5. Akiko Wakabayashi as Aki
    6. Angela Scoular as Ruby
    7. Lana Wood as Plenty O'Toole
    8. Gloria Hendry as Rosie Carver
    9. Maud Adams as Andrea
    10. Caroline Munro as Naiomi
    11. Corrine Cleary as Corrine Dufour
    12. Cassandra Harris as Lisl
    13. Kristina Wayborn as Magda
    14. Grace Jones as Mayday
    15. Kell Tyler as Linda, yacht girl
    16. Talisa Soto as Lupe
    17. Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp
    18. Teri Hatcher as Paris Carver
    19. Sophie Marceau as Elektra King
    20. Rosamund Pike as Miranda Frost
    21. Caterina Murino as Solange
    22. Gemma Arterton as Fields
    23. Naomi Harris as Eve

    Just my two cents, but I feel that Femme Fatales should not be considered in this game. They obviously have a more involved role where secondary Bond girls is for the less mentioned Bond girls. There's no doubt that Xenia and Fiona Volpe would dominate this, which makes it less fun. I'm okay with Magda or Rosie as they are much more 'secondary' roles despite being villains.

    I would say Volpe, Mayday, Xenia, Elektra, and possibly Miranda need to be replaced. Especially since the first three were already on the Henchmen list, and Elektra was on the villains list. I believe there are suitable replacements for each.

    Again, just my two cents. I am not running this game so I will happily go along with what everyone else decides :)

    Ok I'll post the list later today and we can get voting.

    My a recommend that Mayday be changed to the gorgeous Poland Ivanova?

    That would make the woman in the PTS a tertiary Bond girl :)

    List has been posted as copied above. It was finalized a long time ago. Game is on.
    Again the consistency here is that none of these girls were the lead girls in the Lead-girl game. ie the girl that Bond finished with and his ultimate romantic interest by film's end-even if the relationship was a not quite romance in one instance ie Camille.
    Severine being the other exception to the finish-with-and romance qualification.

    Some are yes femme fatales, but they are still the #2 Bond-girl of the film. And we all know what a Bond girl is :x :x .
    Grace Jones does qualify, which knocks Fiona Fullerton out of #2 status for her film.

    Bibi is disqualified, as Bond himself disqualified her as a Bond Girl in the film. Too young- the character was anyway, if not the actress.

    For a future 3rd-string Bond girl game.
    Here's how I would set it up. First off, all the lead-girl and secondary-girl candidates from the first two game are inelgible, with the exception of TLD yacht-girl and Sylvia Trench in FRWL. These two are only technically secondary Bond girls, as they were the #2's for their films, but more properly are small-part girls (see below), so they have a dual status, just as a femme fatale is both Bond girl and femme fatale.

    As identifying a clear 3rd-girl per film is problematic, as it is not obvious in all films, game title would have to be re-jigged to "23 meatiest small-part roles" or Small Part Roles Level 1, as there would be enough candidates to cover two games of 23.
    Strongest candidates, by virtue of film profile, would go in Level One game - 23 total to be consistent with other games, but not necessarily one per film.
    Some movies might have to wait for Level 2 to place a candidate.
    Level 1 possibles includes plenty of strong candidates ie Pola Ivanova, Tilly Masterson, Molly Warmflash, Peaceful Fountains of Desire, Sylvia Trench (2x) Jenny Flex, Miss Caruso, Cigar Girl, Patricia Fearing, Helga Brandt, Nancy (OHMSS), Bambi and Thumper, Saida, Log-Cabin Girl, Manuela, Bianca (OP), Prof Inga Bergstrom, to name some obvious ones....along with the next batch of worthiest candidates to get us to 23 total.
    There would still be plenty of identifiable candidates for a Round 2 ie Small-part girls Level II

    Beyond Small Part Level 2, I could see a level 3 even, which would still include those with speaking parts and/or girls with brief screen time, but still easily identifiable.
    ie some of the angels of Death, certain Drax girls, tennis girls from CR, various background girls, that are quite noticeable and that we all recognize. I could see a level 4 too.
    I've always liked Gift Bag girl from QoS, and private jet hostess from same film, is quite fetching too.
    Istanbul Hotel receptionist from FRWL is worth pausing the player for.
    Then there is "anytime at all" hotel girl from OP, who might rate even Small Part level 1, if not, definitely Level 2.
    I could see small-part, 4 levels, easily. :D

    Should we just start the best fights game?

    And this time start of with 20 to 30 points? 40 seems to drag a bit.
  • MooseWithFleasMooseWithFleas Philadelphia

    Just my opinion, 20 is too short. 30 and 40 are good but I prefer 40. 50 is where it starts to drag a little for me, but I'd still be fine with.

    I prefer each game to last 45-60 days so we can get 12-18 in per year.

    We should start voting on a new game as the secondary bond girls is soon done.

    I vote for best villian deaths

    Best villain deaths for me, too.

    I had an idea. What about "best conversation with a villain?" For instance, Bond's conversation with Dr. No at the dinner table and Bond's conversation with Grant on the train right before the fight and so on and so forth. I'm not sure every film has a qualifying candidate but there's enough to make a game out of it. Anyway, add it to the list of suggestions and people can vote for it if they are interested.

    That's a good idea, @pachazo. You could add Bond's conversation with Trevelyan in the statue yard, Bond's conversation with Carver during their stealth boat standoff, Bond's ringside conversation or dinner conversation with Scaramanga, Bond's "Merry Christmas, 007" conversation with Blofeld...to name but a few.

    For this round, I vote Main Titles.
