Sorry but they just get on my nerves, and seem to cause some perfectly normal folk to behave like twits.
Each of us already knows our preferred themes, UU's, Civs etc. so can we have a break now?

Just a reminder that moderator permission is required to start an elimination thread. (Advance permission was sought and given for the recently completed peace and war theme threads.)

Yes, you're right of course - I must have been feeling a bit grouchy that day!

It's a "vote off" type of thread where points are given to something (i.e a Unique Unit, a peace theme, a civilization) to determine the popularity of it. When an item ends up with 0 points it ends up being pernamently deleted and finishes in Xth place.

They are somewhat fun and can give you an idea of how well something is recieved.
