(Game idea by Doulos)

First player posts a simple question along with a list of possible answers (no restriction on list length).  Each possible answer is given a starting value of 5.  Subsequent posts vote one up and one down.  Once any of the possible answers reaches zero, it is removed from the list.  The game continues until all but one option is removed, at which time we start a new question.

NOTES:
If any of the choices gets 2/3 of the total points, it is immediately declared the winner even if other choices remain.
You may add new options to the list of a new question up until the first time an option hits zero and is removed.
There must always be at least 2 hours between votes by the same player.
Due to the confusion caused by simulposts, every time you post you must go back and check the post to make sure it is correct.  Any post that is incorrect is not valid.  (The intent of this rule is to keep the count correct without a GM or player having to waste time going back to fix past errors.  Rather than write up some complicated rule for what's valid and what's not, leniency may be shown on a case by case basis.)

Example:
First, someone posts a question and we agree on the starting list.
Player A typed:
If you were stranded on an island with one person who would you want it to be?

[5] Robin Williams
[5] Tina Turner
[5] Chuck Norris
[5] Cindy Crawford
[5] Donald Duck
[5] Wayne Gretzky

Then subsequent players make one addition and one subtraction per post.  Player B adds one to Robin Williams and subtracts one from Chuck Norris.
Player B typed:
If you were stranded on an island with one person who would you want it to be?

+[6] Robin Williams
[5] Tina Turner
-[4] Chuck Norris
[5] Cindy Crawford
[5] Donald Duck
[5] Wayne Gretzky

Player C adds one to Cindy and subtracts one from Wayne.
Player C typed:
If you were stranded on an island with one person who would you want it to be?

[6] Robin Williams
[5] Tina Turner
[4] Chuck Norris
+[6] Cindy Crawford
[5] Donald Duck
-[4] Wayne Gretzky


And so on...

Yoss, is it really you?

(By the way, it's Best X-Men not best superhero.)

No, Yoss hasn't been around in... well, I can't even remember at this point.

Also, you need to remember to add when you + someone Jioan. That's a third time I think you've forgotten to and someone had to fix it. :P

Can we change the thread title to Increment Decrement Question Game? I clicked the old thread because I thought this one was INC/DEC. They're too easy to get confused.

My fault. I wrote it down wrong.

Shame on you Grant. :P
