Felt bad for speisr...everyone kept going for him.
I've enjoyed this little game, but it would be nice if you could think up perhaps a better way to decide the game when it gets to 2 people. Perhaps say the final two have to type out a sequence of plus and minus (of whatever number you determine)... " --+-+++-+" One person chooses 'odds', another chooses 'evens'...and the person who chose evens gets points for every time there is a double in the sequence, and the person who chose odd gets a point for every time it is different.
Example A.
Maybe it would make the end of the game go quicker, along with make it a little more fun to try to dupe your opponent. Perhaps have 3 or 5 or 7 rounds of that. Just an idea to make the end a little more exciting!

Example A.
- <User 1=Evens> - - + - + - + + +
<User 2=Odds> - + - + + + - - +
So User 1 would get 3 points for the first position, fifth, and ninth.
User 2 would get 6 points for second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth.

Well the way I originally played it, anyone could vote the entire game, even if your name wasn't on the list. So instead of being a real strategy game it was more of a "keep your favorites alive" game with a bit of strategy involved. I guess this ending kind of replicated that feel because I didn't know how else to end it with two players while sticking with the feel of the rest of the game.
I intend to create another some time though (hence the #1 in the title) so I'll make sure there is a different way to end it then.

Yeah, good suggestion P, because I was basically thinking this seemed a lot like survivor (narrow it down to two people and then the tribe decides)
ANNOUNCEMENT
Alright, so forget about the points spiesr and I have. If you were one of the players eliminated in this game you will simply cast a single vote for the winner.
I also think we need a Jeff Probst (the host of survivor) to collect the ballots and determine the winner. Would anyone like to volunteer to collect the PM's? (I don't feel I should do it since I would just rig it
)

Children, this is what happens to hockey players, druggies, and Hillary Clinton.
Rope. Tree. Hillary. Some assembly required.
