Okay, so here are the rules, in case anyone doesn't know them already. Each character starts out with 15 points. You may chose 3 characters and give them either +2 points, or -2 points. You may give some reasoning for your decision if you want (it makes it more fun). When a character gets down to 0, they are dead, and the person who killed them may write their death. The more creative the better. Also, only one post per day.

If you feel I've missed anyone major, just add him/her onto the list. I won't get mad. [Big Grin]

Frodo Baggins 15
Samwise Gamgee 15
Bilbo Baggins 15
Peregrin (Pippin) Took 15
Meriadoc (Merry) Brandybuck 15

Maybe we should let Evie make the Ender's Game one, since we won't seem to be using this one after all...

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

aww...that's so sweet. I'm a little intimidated since we are on the Orson Scott Card website! I mean, what if I forget someone?!?!

Posted by digging_hoIes (Member # 6963) on :

Well, maybe you could intentionally restrict it to only the 15 or 20 most important characters. That way you can claim you intentionally left them out, rather than forgot them. Also, maybe stick only to Ender's Game, not the entire Enderverse.

But you do it your way, it's your thread, not mine. I'll go with whatever you write.

And if you haven't noticed, we added characters to both the Harry Potter game and the LotR game without any serious repercussions (although these last were added from your list *insert your own smug grin here*). Nobody will flog you for not getting it perfect the first time. [Wink]

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

Do you want me to do it now, or wait until the LOTR game is done?

Also, I was thinking that maybe we could do a Star Wars one as well. There are so many characters in that one that we could use. It would be a good time. Just another thought. These games are fun!

Whenever you like.

And I definitely can't make the Star Wars one, I haven't watched the movies enough to know all the characters.
