GWMPB/A Elimination

[Fire King]

It's Elimination time. Vote for the bands/artists you think are bad, then, the real voting begins.

The rules for this round haven't been changed quite so much, but still listen up.

RULES


1. You are allowed to try and eliminate eliminate FOUR (4) bands/artists.
2. You do not have to eliminate four bands/artists. You can only eliminate one if it's all you can think of.
3. The elimination round works like this. You can choose up to four bands/artists to deduct one-half point each from, or you can use two of your elimination votes to increase the total of one of the bands/artists by one-half. So your choices are four eliminations, a boost and two eliminations, or two boosts. The elimination round will run until we get to 48.
4. I am fully aware that we're not choosing the best band/artist ever. We're just choosing what band/artist is the most popular as voted on my Gamewinners members.
5. Be specific about who you're eliminating and who you're boosting.
6. YOU CANNOT BOOST/ELIMINATE THE SAME BAND MORE THAN ONCE.

There are mine, now show me yours.

I will edit the Standings in this post periodically. BOLD bands indicate bands that have clinched berths in the voting rounds.

[JoetheShow]

Queens of the Stone Age should have 11 pts. You have them as 4 in this thread as well as the other.


2 elimination votes for Nickleback
1 for System of a Down
1 for Lawrence Arms since I have no clue who they are.

[Fire King]

I'm going to boost Muse, and take The Beatles and Creed down a peg because I think they're both overrated.

[Spiner202]

Can I use all four of my eliminations on Nirvana? If so then yes I'll do that.

And dammit I forgot to nominate Alice!

[Fire King]

Sorry, only one elimination/boost vote per band. Pick some other bands, maybe, but as it says in the rules, be specific about what you want.

[Spiner202]

Ok, I'd like to boost Metallica, and use my elimination votes towards Nirvana and Tool, since they describe themselves well in their name.

[TheDukeOfBoston]

Boost Avenged Sevenfold
Hit System of a Down
Hit Muse

[ATRLOGfan]

Can I use all 4 of my votes to boost 1 band?

[Fire King]

So your choices are four eliminations, a boost and two eliminations, or two boosts. The elimination round will run until we get to 48.

Take your pick.

[JoetheShow]

Queens of the Stone Age should have 11 pts. You have them as 4 in this thread as well as the other.



Not sure if you caught this. But it could be potentially dangerous.

[ATRLOGfan]

If not, I'll use all 4 of my votes to boost Godsmack and Alice In Chains.

[Fire King]

Fixed/updated to here

[Majin]

1 for Lawrence Arms since I have no clue who they are.

:(


Going to start off killing Creed and hurting Jimmy Buffet (I don't have the heart to finish the Beatles)

[The JoZ]

Eliminate: The Doors and Smashing Pumpkins

Boost: Dream Theater

[coheed]

Two boosts to Lifehouse.

I'm gonna keep them in as long as I can. :p:

[BigDaddy]

Boost Blind Guardian and Kamelot.

[coheed]

Oops, ignore my previous post (which, for some reason, I cannot edit). Just read that you don't want us using two boosts on one band. Please move my other one to Coheed and Cambria.

[Dan]

Boost for Yes.
Elimination for Nirvana.
Elimination for Nickelback.

[Fire King]

Updated to here, hopefully error-free.

Let it be known that on Tuesday, I'll be eliminating all bands who have either 2 points or less, or 1.5 points or less. It all depends on how many bands I need to cut to get to 48. Maybe even 36. We'll see when we get to Tuesday.

[.Killswitch.]

Boost Iron Maiden

Elimination for Avenged Sevenfold, and Metallica.

Also boost Bowie.

[Noise]

Down with Beatles. Yeah. I have the heart to kill them.
Down with SOAD.
Up with Kalmah.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Boost Kamelot and Blind Guardian

Hey... I'm not BigDaddy.

[Fire King]

Boost Iron Maiden

Elimination for Avenged Sevenfold, and Metallica.

Also boost Bowie.

Can't do all that, chum.

[Blacklotus]

Boost Journey, drop Avenged Sevenfold and Tool.

[Freakish]

1 for Lawrence Arms since I have no clue who they are.

So many worse bands you could have gotten rid of too. I'm mad at you

Up Mineral and the Larry Arms. No one worth getting rid of. But if someone wants to help me keep Moneen or Muse I'll change my Mineral vote to one of those

[Fire King]

Updated to here. Good to see people trying to dent bands that *seem* to have a good standing. You never know what I'll do on Tuesday.

[Majin]

So many worse bands you could have gotten rid of too. I'm mad at you

Up Mineral and the Larry Arms. No one worth getting rid of. But if someone wants to help me keep Moneen or Muse I'll change my Mineral vote to one of those


I'll be willing to use my last to save Moneen if needed, though I'm surprised Muse is struggling so bad.

[JoetheShow]

In retrospect, I feel the need to boost Lynyrd Skynrd instead of the SOAD and Lawrence Arms eliminations.

[Fire King]

Joe, I've changed your picks accordingly. Baby Blue Boi, please read the thread.

[Freakish]

Alright, Maj and I are gonna boost Moneen

And Joe, way to see the light on the Lawrence Arms. They are ****ing sick

[Tequila Sunrise]

Boost Avenged Sevenfold.
Down Queens of the Stone and System of a Down

[Shane]

So we can't try to eliminate Pink Floyd can we? If so I'll use all my points for that.

[Majin]

So we can't try to eliminate Pink Floyd can we? If so I'll use all my points for that.


Doing so would be pointless, since it would take everyone to do it.

[Noise]

Pfft. I'd join the campaign.

[Freakish]

Haha, I'd be down. Maybe that should be our new goal, get enough people to knock out Zepplin and Floyd.

[ATRLOGfan]

That would be blasphemy and I would have to chop you down with a herring if you did such a thing.

[Shane]

While Zepplin is over rated they aren't the trash that PF is.

[coheed]

I love Pink Floyd. :(

[The Piano Man]

FireKing, unless I am going insane, you haven't put in any of my votes except The Beatles. It seems like you neglected to put in my top four.

[Fire King]

...what the hell.

That's weird, because I remember putting yours in. I copied and pasted them into the first post, like I did everyone else's, and I sorted them. But, damn it, they're not there.

I'll put them in. Sorry bout that.

EDIT: That makes the (as of now) band total 70.

Lordy. Can't wait to do my purge on Christmas.

[Kid_A]

Metallica
Godsmack
Nickelback
3 Doors Down

[Tichondrius]

Boosts for Muse and Soundgarden

[Fire King]

Whelp, I've eliminated all the bands with 2.5 points or less. That leaves 51, and my goal by next Tuesday is 36 bands. If that point is not reached by then, I'll do another purge.

By the way, I've taken two points away from each band.

BY THE WAY! Everyone who has already eliminated can either:

A) Vote to take down two more bands/artists
B) Boost a band/artist

However, if you haven't yet voted, you're limited to what you would have gotten anyway. And yeah, you can continue to bomb bands or boost bands you've already went after. I'm using mine to take down U2 and Avenged Sevenfold.

[TheDukeOfBoston]

Boost Avenged Sevenfold

Seriously, listen to their new album, they get even better every time.

[Noise]

Sounding the Seventh Trumpet was good.
Waking the Fallen was great.
City of Evil was god-awful.
Self Titled... at least it's better than City of Evil.

Drop System of a Down and Dragonforce.

[JoetheShow]

Boost Skynyrd

[Blacklotus]

Drop Avenged and Dragonforce.

[Majin]

Boost Thrice as much as possible?

[Tichondrius]

Drop Dethklok and Marilyn Manson

[Fire King]

Updated to here.

[ATRLOGfan]

So we can only boost one this time? If that's the case, boost for Godsmack. If we can still boost 2 bands, boost for Godsmack and Alice In Chains again.

[BigDaddy]

Boost Blind Guardian.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Boost Kamelot

[Tequila Sunrise]

Boost Avenged Sevenfold.

[Jesus 2000]

Boost Iron Maiden
Drop Avenged Sevenfold and Dragonforce

[Noise]

One or the other, bro.

[Fire King]

Vermillion hasn't used up his first nomination thing yet. He's good.

[Kid_A]

Boost Radiohead

[CM Punk]

Drop Marilyn Manson and Billy Joel
Boost Rush

Haven't used first nomination yet if you're wondering.

[Fire King]

Updated and purged to here. I took one vote from each of the bands, and that eliminated 9. Now 41 remain, and we need to get rid of five. Same thing as before. You get either two eliminations or one boost. But it's first come first serve.

I'm dropping Avenged Sevenfold and Linkin Park, the latter of which is now eliminated.

That leaves 40.

[BlaidTheSponge]

Both Eliminations at RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

[Austin.]

2 to boost Avenged Sevenfold down.

[BlaidTheSponge]

...Damn, ok, ONE FOR RAGE, ONE FOR...Thursday?

[Fire King]

Austin, it states all caps in the first post "YOU CANNOT BOOST/ELIMINATE A BAND MORE THAN ONCE" so yeah sorry.

Blaid, since you corrected yours, I put them in.

[Majin]

Boost Thrice. Yeaaaah boiii

[Austin.]

Austin, it states all caps in the first post "YOU CANNOT BOOST/ELIMINATE A BAND MORE THAN ONCE" so yeah sorry.

Blaid, since you corrected yours, I put them in.
I havent posted yet.
Fine put anything I can do to boost AS down.

[Fire King]

Even though you haven't used your boosts/eliminations yet you still can't boost/eliminate the same band more than once. That rule applies to everyone.

I've updated to here.

[BigDaddy]

Boost Kamelot.

[Noise]

Boost Kalmah.

[Tom]

Destroy Dragonforce and Avenged Sevenfold. Cheers.

[Tichondrius]

Boost System of a Down

[JoetheShow]

I'm boosting Skynyrd but someone needs to help out Coheed.

[Freakish]

I'd drop two bands, but I'm gonna save the Lawrence Arms and boost them

[Blacklotus]

droppin' Dragonforce and Avenged Sevenfold.

[Jesus 2000]

Drop Avenged Sevenfold and Dragonforce

[Fire King]

Lotus/Vermillion, they're both already gone. Pick another two if you like or boost one that needs help. We need to get rid of two more.

Updated to here.

[Jesus 2000]

Drop Rage Agianst The Machine and Yes in that case.

[Fire King]

And there we go. We have the 36 bands we need. I'll get polls up shortly, with links here.
