    Just given @MooseWithFleas the go ahead to start the animals game, but we also have a spot for a second game, now that the film elimination game has finished.
    Thoughts on which game we'd like to have???

    Composers.

    Apparently I suggested it, but I really don't want to host this time... Umm can someone else do it?

    Oh! It's in the video games section, not the trivia and games section. Now it makes sense.

    I've moved it to Trivia & Games so it's with the other elimination games. Should be easy to find that way.

    Can we do Bond actors again now?

    Really curious to see where Daniel lands after Spectre. He came third after SF, behind Connery and Moore. So many have appreciated him more, or less, after the last one. Will he move up or down or stay the same?

    By the way, that is my vote. I always get ignored. Am I the invisible man?

    Bond actors - I
    Post Fleming Bond Novels - I


    I am adding post Fleming novels really curious to see who would win between Amis Gardner Bensons and Horrowitz of course Deaver Boyd and Faulks will be out within a week

    Another idea that could be fun remaining Fleming titles and before people assume just the four we are familiar with (Risico the property of a lady the Hildebrand Rarity 007 in New York) we could do two per novel so for example

    You only live twice: Shatterhand, The Garden of death
    Etc

    Couldn't we do Bond songs again without the Bond theme from Dr. No. I mean it is not a film specific title song. We could also only allow Bond songs with lyrics. I think if the Bond theme is not in the competition it is not very obviuos which song will win.

    Hear, hear. Having the Bond theme in is just unfair.

    No, it is not unfair but it is not a song but a theme. I would also not include the themes from Majesty's and FRWL. On the other hand, I would include "Surrender", "We have all the time in the world", "If there was a man", "If you asked me to", "From Russia with love", "Three blind mice" etc. I think it would be an interesting and not very predictable game with some surprises.

    Adding a few more ideas (I think one can only vote for two ideas max regardless of how many days so since I only voted for one)
    Bond actors - IIII
    Post Fleming Bond Novels - I
    Climax - I
    One liners - I
    M - (not voting for this one but putting it out there)
    Bond 25 title - I (would be interesting to see how close we get to what winds up being the title)
    Criminal Orgnization - (I feel there are enough groups in the bond world that this could work specifically Spectre, Smersh/Russian intelligence from for your eyes only- the living daylights, Sanchez drug operation, Janus, Quantum, and Spectre 2.0)
    Q - (sure Desmond Llewyellen will win but who will come in second Peter Burton John Cleese etc)
    Trailers-

    And that is about it

    I think it would be best to wait until Craig is officially confirmed as gone to vote on Bond actors.

    Bond actors - IIII
    Post Fleming Bond Novels - I
    Climax - I
    One liners - II

    Bond 25 title - I
