    Oh marvelous. Great game idea btw.
  • This is my opinion on starting non-James Bond related games like the one @BondJasonBond006 is proposing: I think that we should always keep 2 Bond-related elimination games going at any given time, but in addition to those, we can have 1 or 2 non-Bond related games running in parallel. If that is the case though, I suggest that the voting for that process follow the same rules put forth earlier. Do others agree?

    @BJB006

    When you say movie themes do you mean main themes or any theme?

    Some other possibles -

    Rocky (Gonna Fly Now) - Bill Conti
    The Odd Couple - Neal Hefti
    Magnificent Seven - Elmer Bernstein
    Bullitt - Lalo Schiffrin
    Jaws - Yeah I Know

    @sirseanisbond I like that idea--it allows those wishing to play non-Bond related games to do so without limiting the number of Bond-related games going on.

    Ok, so lets move forward with this. @BondJasonBond006, I think you can go ahead and publish your non-Bond game soon. It will be a dry run for non-Bond elimination games, and assuming that its a success, when your game finishes, we will expand the non-Bond games to two at a time. For the time being, we are still waiting on @Risico007 to come back and publish his Bond Sex Scene game...

    28 items.
    About John Willimas, I'm fully aware 6 out of 28 is a bit much, but consider him the Sean Connery of the film composers if you will.
    Also I tried to get something of every decade and film genre.
    I will try to post a soundclip for each item once I open the game thread.

    1949 The Third Man Theme - Anton Karas
    1959 North By Northwest - Bernard Herrmann
    1960 Psycho Theme - Bernard Herrmann
    1960 Magnificent Seven Main Title - Elmer Bernstein

    I think we need to limit it to franchise films. But great idea!
  • edited October 2016 Posts: 4,044
    Is it fair to include the James Bond Theme in a non-Bond vote?

    Is Hedwig's Theme the main Harry Potter theme?

    !!!!!Ok everyone, Big Elimination Game Announcement!!!!!

    As per the new rules that @DarthDimi and I outlined, we are going to hit the reset button on this thread. As the First Scene with Bond game draws to a close, we need to pick a new elimination game. here is how that process will work:

    1) Proposed Games - We are starting over. If you have pitched the idea of a game on this thread in the past, you will have to re-submit it now. In order to be considered for New Elimination Game voting, you need to propose the game on this discussion, and post your proposed game list. Only game proposals with a draft voting list will be added to the Master List of Proposed Elimination games. To allow people time to propose new and old ideas, this process will continue over the course of this week. Then we will move on to voting.

    2) Voting Process - Once we have a substantial enough Master List of new games, we will begin to vote to select a new game. The process will work like this:
    ...A) Over a 2 - 3 day period, members will give one daily (+1) vote to one of the games on the Master List, and the syntax for this vote will be like any other elimination game in that you must repost the list and tally your own vote, and show that you voted with a (+1) and by Bolding your vote line. There will only be (+1) votes, NOT (-2) or (-1) like in a normal game. As I said this process will go on for 2 - 3 days.
    ...B) After the first round of voting is at an end, the top 5 ranked elimination games from the master list will go on to the 2nd round of voting. This 2nd round will occur over another 2 -3 days and will be just like the first round. The voting totals will be reset to zero for all 5 proposed games, and each day members will get one (+1) vote for their favorite game. At the end of this 2 - 3 day voting period, a new elimination game will have been chosen, and that game will commence.

    3) Future Games - In the future, all elimination game selections will follow this process. A Master List of proposed games will always be present and ready to be voted upon. Members may also propose new game ideas at any time, and discuss such games here on this thread. However, when one of the two active elimination games comes to an end, all new game proposals will stop, and we will only vote on the existing Master List.



    Does this process make sense to everyone?

    If you proposed an elimination game in the past and are still interested in running your game, you must now re-post it with a draft of how your game will look if you want it to be added to the Master List for voting. Also if you have been thinking of a new game and want to share it, now is the time.

    Sounds very good. One suggestion: Let the winner and second place of the Master List votes take place. Having this process all over again for each and every future game seems a bit much.

    Five games in round two? Two should be enough.
  • Ok, this process is fluid and open to changes, both in length of voting round, and in the number that move on to round two. As of right now though, we have no Master List. We need people to start proposing or re-proposing games in order to create a Master List, and depending on how long that list is when we start voting, will determine how many games make it into round two of voting...

    A couple from memory I liked the idea of were the Main Titles game and the Post Titles Scene game. Two suggestions on the board.

    I did a Bond Villains Weapons game many years ago,such as Oddjobs hat or Grants garrotte etc..

    Ok, here is my proposal for: The Great Post Title Sequence Scene Elimination Game
    Hopefully it is self explanatory, this game will endeavor to find the best scene which follows the musical title sequences in each Bond film, which is to say the first scene after the Pre Title Sequence, PTS scene. I think it will be fun, and I hope I'm not alone.

    Here is the list:

    DN - Cards at the Kings Club and the murder of Strangways
    FRWL - Kronsteen defeats the Canadian at chess in Venice
    GF - Fly into Miami, Felix introduces Bond to cheating Goldfinger
    TB - Largo joins the SPECTRE briefing in Paris and #9 gets electrocuted
    YOLT - Bond's funeral at sea, then smuggled onto a sub to meet with M
    OHMSS - Bond checks into his hotel and saves Tracy from a bad "banco"
    DAF - Bond and M get a briefing on diamond smuggling from Sir Donald
    LALD - Bond and agent Caruso get interrupted by M at Bonds apartment
    TMWTGG - Bond stroles into M's office and gets briefed on Scramanga
    TSWLM - General Gogol briefs XXX on her mission and her dead lover
    MR - M briefs Bond on the crashed Moonraker and Q gives Bond a toy
    FYEO - The sinking of the St Georges by arrant mine and loss of ATAC
    OP - 009 as a clown escapes from East Berlin to deliver the Faberge Egg
    AVTAK - Bond gets briefed by M and Minister about Zorin while Q plays RC
    TLD - Bond saves Georgi from Kara's sniper rifle to the chagrin of Saunders
    LTK - Sanchez doubles his $1Mill bribe, and Bond and Della share a moment
    GE - Bond races Onatopp in her Ferarri to Monte Carlo in his Aston DB5
    TND - The sinking of the HMS Devonshire by the stealth ship off Vietnam
    TWINE - King's funeral in Scotland and Bond gest overlooked for assignments
    DAD - Bond swapped for Zao in the DMZ after months of torture in North Korea
    CR - Le Chiffre recrutes another freedom fighter client with Mr. White in Uganda
    QOS - Bond and M interrogate Mr. White in Siena only to be ambushed by Mitchell
    SF - M writes Bond's obituary and meets with her soon to be predecessor Mallory
    SP - Bond gets "grounded" by M after his "personal" trip to Mexico City




    I posted this before, but I'm posting it again, because as I said, we hit the re-set button with this discussion thread. As of right now, this game is the only one on the Master List. If you want your game to be voted on in the future, you have to propose the game, and post a draft like I just did.

    Can the Main Titles idea be added to the Master List? I think it should be on the table as it was part of the last vote. Nice easy one, featuring a films. Not sure who suggested the idea originally, may have been @Thunderfinger?? Unsure whether he'd still be interested in hosting this?

    Do I really need to post a draft for the MTS game? 20 points to start with.

    Other games I would be on board with, post-SP:

    Villains, henchmen, MI6 staff Those who proposed those games last time, may want to clarify what the list will look like. If they don t , someone else should

    There is a new game running since a while: Best movie themes.
    Even if it's not Bond related it would be nice to get a bit more participation.
    After all a non-Bond elimination game was affirmed in this thread.
