The ALMOST COUPLES SuRViVoR GaMe: A Valentine Special

[Felix]

PJ, what is the meaning of this Survivor Game going to be?

Will we be voting for the couple who we wanted to have been an item the most?

I nominate Fan Yao and Purple Robed Dragon King.

Xiao Yu Er and Tie Xin Lan.
Xiao Yu Er and Little Fairy Zhang Jing.
Jiang Feng and Yao Yue.
Ding Pang and the girl he slept with (not Qing Qing).

BTW, just to jump ahead, please give fair consideration for couples of GL world and others as well. How about half the participants come from JY world and half from non-JY world.

[Sparky]

Umm, people like me? Now that you mention it, I would like to add

Chueng Mo Kei & Xiao Ciao

and

Cheung Mo Kei & Chu Er

Heh yes people like you. Actually you are more of a Zhou Zhiruo fan than a "Gao Yuanyuan's portrayal of Zhou Zhiruo" fan, so not exactly you.

In order to defend Zhao Min, should such a game begin, I would be sure to take votes off all of Zhang Wuji's other lovers.

We should do both.

If there's enough interest, why not? It might be kind of chaotic having two at once, but I guess it depends on if people would also be interested in doing actual, got-together couples.

[kidd]

I nominate Hua Man Lou and Shi Xiu Yun

Yep.

BTW, just to jump ahead, please give fair consideration for couples of GL world and others as well. How about half the participants come from JY world and half from non-JY world.

The following candidates have been suggested, however I am recommending their exclusion because 1) for the convenience of copying and pasting in the game, the list should remain manageably short; 2) these candidates seem to "have little chance to win," so to speak. BUT feel free to object if you feel extremely passionate about something. THank you.

Flagged for exclusion:
---
Zhao Qiansun and Granny Tan
Gongsun Zhi & Xiao Long Nu
SWORD GOD Zhuo Bufan & Wuyazi!

[redfirefly124]

Hehehe...has anyone nominated Yin Zhi Ping and Xiao Long Nv? J/K Although I did feel kinda bad for Yin Zhi Ping...he really did like XLN and even died for her. He just made a terrible mistake.

Anyways, if you are interested in having a COUPLE SURVIVOR GAME, please say so, and Sparky and I will consider having one You'll help me, won't you Sparky?

[Huang Rong]

Flagged for exclusion:
SWORD GOD Zhuo Bufan & Wuyazi!

What a pity that SWORD GOD Zhuo Bufan and her fancy man, the Xiao Yao Elder Wuyazi, can not take part in this game.
But I understand your situation in excluding them, I admit the lovestory between SG ZBF n Wuyazi is not well known throughout the realm because people often overlook the minor characters in Jin Yong's novels.
Now I don't have time, but perhaps I'll start a thread about this truly immortally touching lovestory on another day to tell people that SWORD GOD Zhuo Bufan + Wuyazi in Jin Yong's universe can compare to Romeo + Juliet in Shakespeare's world.

[ghostdarTeal'c]

Too bad Xiao Yu Er & Zhang Jing is excluded....i really like that couple....

but looking at the preliminary lists, im thinking, Whoa...that's a real looong list......guess Xiao Yu Er & Zhang Jing wouldnt stand a chance anyway.....

[Felix]

Flagged for exclusion:
SWORD GOD Zhuo Bufan & Wuyazi!
Yin Liting (Wudang sixth(?) Hero) and Ji Xiao Fu (Yang Bu Hui's mom)
Yelu Qi and that Huang ??? Ping (Jin girl).
Jiang Feng and Yao Yue.

I strongly would vote for Yin Liting and Ji Xiao Fu to be in the game. The other two I can live without, no big deal. Do include YLT and JXF though. Never liked Yang Xiao to begin with.

Sword God, yeah, he should be out of this. He already has won one game. His legendary status is great enough.

I would then like to voice out my opinion on this couple being in the game too. Personally, I prefer XYE and TXL over XYE and LF, but I will support ghostdarTeal'c on this one.

PJ, perhaps we can have a wild card round. All those that are rejected, gets put into a voting poll for the final spot in the game?

[Felix]

Heh yes people like you. Actually you are more of a Zhou Zhiruo fan than a "Gao Yuanyuan's portrayal of Zhou Zhiruo" fan, so not exactly you.

In order to defend Zhao Min, should such a game begin, I would be sure to take votes off all of Zhang Wuji's other lovers.


If there's enough interest, why not? It might be kind of chaotic having two at once, but I guess it depends on if people would also be interested in doing actual, got-together couples.

If you really are going to, I suggest having a not so famous actual couples in the game. If not, it will turn into a GJ and HR v YG and LDG v CMK and CM triangle match.

[PJ]

OK, I will add that pair back.

[Swordwiz]

This is awesome.

[ghostdarTeal'c]

OK, I will add that pair back.

hey, thnx PJ....i thot theyd be gone for good...

Yo, felix

Here are the Rules of the game :: La Règle du jeu - simple and sweet, much like the first survivor game:

1. Each contestant (an almost couple) starts with 10 points. When a contestant reaches a score of zero, it shall be excluded from the game from that point on.

2. You may vote once every FOUR turns OR every 30 minutes, whichever comes first; this means that unless 30 minutes have passed since your last vote, you must wait until at least THREE others have voted before you vote again.

3. Due to the high volume of contestants, For each voting turn you may cast ONE -or- TWO votes. To cast a single vote, You may either add (+) or subtract (-) a point from one contestant. To cast two votes, one vote must be a (+) and the other must be a (-).

4. To facilitate the tracking of the scores, please cut and paste the ENTIRE LIST of kung fu in your post (highlighting your addition/subtraction).

Retirement, winner forecasting, and other potential exercises may be considered as the game progresses.

[PJ]

Without further due, the game begins.
Please make sure you're familiar with the rules above (survivor game veterans should be no strangers to the rules).
By the way, in case you hadn't noticed, the contestants (the almost couples) have been organized with the lady's names appearing first, except for one outlier. Can you find the outlier?
