Lets eliminate someone else before this thread loses steam again

Do you think it might be in order to change rules? e.g. each time you take off 6 points, and add 2, should accelerate the rate at which presidents are eliminated. This thread was doomed when it was moved to forum games tbh, I put it in history originally (since the Civ 6 section has had plenty of these elimination games without them being moved to Forum games).

Yes that might be a good plan, or just reduce everyone by 10?
Is it worth asking if it could be moved back to the history section? The game encourages historical discussion, and the forum games part of the site is one of the least active areas in all of Civ Fanatics.
