    In light of Roger's passing, I now move to evacuate my previous post, drop these two games, and instead propose two new elimination games that pertain directly to Rogers work as Bond, like best scene as Bond, best film, son on so forth. I look to other members to suggest interesting games to help honor Roger whom we all dearly loved and will miss...

    So does anyone have any ideas?

    Have we done one for gadgets? Titles? PTSes? Closing one-liners?

    Closing one liners sounds good. I expect TSWLM to be on top :-)

    Additional ideas: casino scenes, villain or henchmen reveals/first scenes, signature villain or henchmen tools/weapons, etc.

    Casino scenes have been done, and others have proposed "Villain Intros" and "Best Henchmen" games, but if you want to take part in these games, take the time to compose a list and post it here. I've proposed and hosted many elimination games and I have another that is ready to go.

    TSWLM: Bond and XXX fight Jaws in the desert and manage to rustle control of the van
    TSWLM: The elaborate assault on the Liprus control room buy Bond and the sailors
    MR: Bond evades capture on the plane, and in free-fall steals the parachute from Jaws
    MR: Bond and Goodhead work together to gain control of an ambulance in Rio
    MR: Bond and Goodhead manage to escape a rocket blast by climbing through a vent
    FYEO: Bond takes control of the RC helicopter and drops Blofeld down a chimney

    TND: Bond fights the guards doing a number on his head then orders a station break
    TND: Bond and Wai Lin fight then repel down the side of Carvers tower in Saigon
    TWINE: Bond triggers a flash-bang on his gun, then repels out the window in Bilbao

    This is a huge list, and long games like this are not exactly ideal when game attendance is so low, but I'm prepared to whittle down this list to the best escape from each film. Would anyone be more interested if I did that?

    Elimination Games - do they still exist?

    Doesn't look like it

    A few months back, the SPECTRE elimination game was voted into play, but then Sir Roger Moore passed away and it was decided to play elimination games in his honor. Which was the right decision, by the way.

    So, can we get the SPECTRE game started or has that window of opportunity closed now?

    Isn't there a sunglasses game in play?

    Its odd, originally I had anticipated a lengthy outpouring of support for Roger based games, and while the "One Liners" game was a superb idea, the practice of such a long game has made me realize that elimination games must have as few eliminateble elements to make it feel worthwhile and competitive. Otherwise players lose interest rapidly. As much as I'd like to see more Roger based games, still can't believe he's gone and how that fact has passed me by in my day-to-day, with everything considered, I believe that it would be best for us to move forward with the Spectre elimination game.

    Of course you're right. I hadn't been around in awhile. When we're down to one then I'll start up the next game.

    I agree with this, even though I was the one who set the game in motion. I thought that, with the passing of Sir Rog, there would have been more involvement from more people and with the amount of choices, it would have still gotten through at a decent rate, certainly by now anyway. Alas, it hasn't been so and, as such, the game has gone on for quite a while. It is getting to the end now though and I have enjoyed seeing how the votes go.

    On another note - sunglasses game? Didn't even notice, I'll have to search this out.

    I'll certainly look forward to this game @pachazo when it starts up.

    Suggesting an elimination game for all the times Bond has used his famous "Bond, James Bond" line. Not sure if this has been done yet, or at least recently.
  • edited August 2017 Posts: 19,339
    'Shades' game finished.

    Time to pick a new one from the games in the past few pages that are ready to go or suggest your own,but remember to have a list of entries in your game, not just a title.

    I think this game from @pachazo should be next up. See above.

    Makes sense,since it was ready to go and poor Sir Roger,well,left us.
    Lets wait for @pachazo to agree,which im sure he will,and he can put it on the site,and start the game off.
