    I'm going to swap my vote to Q Scenes next nominated by @Some_Kind_Of_Hero

    What were you thinking as a list for that? One from each film minus LALD, CR, QoS?

    Yes, precisely, @MooseWithFleas. I'll draft the actual list and post it here soon for a specific frame of reference.

    The list will cover scenes in which Q explains his gadgets and weaponry to Bond and NOT any of the end-of-film Q scenes, which would be covered in my other "Bond Finales (Very Final Scenes)" suggestion.

    Conversation with the villain is an awesome idea. Guess it would need some preparation though so main titles gets my vote
  • QBranchQBranch Always have an escape plan. Mine is watching James Bond films.

    Should we just start the best fights GADGETS game?
    I can see everyone is eager to get my gadget game up and running, but perhaps we should leave this one until after SP comes out, and include this film in the game, as I've heard there will be a LOT of gadgets in the film. 'Fully loaded', I think is the term. :)>-

    Best stunt gets a nod from me.
    So long as we can see the nominations beforehand. Some of these games are having glaring holes in them with exclusions based on personal opinion. Which unfairly ignores certain aspects and a better overview of the majority.

    My vote goes to best gun barrel; after all, OHMSS can never have enough elimination wins, right? ;)

    Brosnan has a chance to do well for once here, as long as the DAD gun barrel is counted separately. I'd go Simmons/Connery, Connery, Lazenby, Moore 1, Moore 2, Dalton, Brosnan, DAD Brosnan, Craig 1, Craig 2, Craig 3 (and depending on when we get around to it, we could be on Craig 4(!)).
  • FoxRoxFoxRox

    My favorites are Lazenby, Brosnan 1, and Craig 1

    Why not rank all 23! Almost all have slight variations though OP/AVTAK might be identical :p

    If we are combining them into styles, are we not factoring in music? Because TLD and LTK are vastly different despite having the same gunbarrel.

    That's one possibility, although I think the slight variations could just complicate things and make splitting hairs between the different options less fun. The music does play a role in the gun barrels, no doubt.

    What's the current vote total at?

    Two for best gun barrel, one for set designs. Not a lot of voting this time around.

    I thought I voted for main titles.

    Well, I'm an idiot, I thought it started with the big list posted. Take two:

    2 for best deaths, 2 for main titles, 1 for best stunt, 1 for set design, and 2 for gun barrel, if I'm not still mistaken.

    I believe there are 3 votes for main titles: myself, Birdleson, and Thunderfinger.

    @QBranch seems really eager to start the MAIN TITLES game, too. ;)

    This has been another exciting episode of "Counting with Soundofthesinners!'

    I'll get cracking on the Main titles game shortly, and have it up and ready to go later on today.

    I'd like to put forward a "Fleming Novel James Bond Elimination Game" with a "Continuation Novel Elimination Game" as a sequel, if possible
  • JCRendleJCRendle

    I'd include them individually, as there are only 12 full length novels and 9 short stories - if you include 007 in New York - 20/21 is a good number for an elimination game.

    @JCRendle

    A "Novel game" was already mentioned long ago if I don't remember incorrectly. The obvious problem with it is that not everyone on the forum have read all of them, if any at all, so it would naturaly exclude quite a lot of participants.

    Having just watched TSWLM, I thought that another one for the possible future could be best Battle Royale (army against army). I guess it's similar to Best Climax, but it s more finely tuned. We could include GF, TB, YOLT, OHMSS, TSWLM, MR, OP (as a joke, that battle is the absolute worst) and TLD (if that even counts). The Brosnan and Craig eras don't fit here because they tend to combat armies single-handedly (more so Brosnan than the latter), which I'm not the biggest fan off.


    It should count! Its one of the better battles in the series I think. We don't need to call it "good vs bad" per se, but army "fighting on the side of good for the time being" ;)

    It could also give members who haven't read the books yet an idea of where to start (for those not too concerned with reading chronologically) and I suspect that a good number of members here have read at least one Fleming Bond.

    But you should have read all of them in order to participate in such game...
