    SW contains a diverse ensemble of multifaceted, three-dimensionsal characters who provoke a wide range of reactions (especially EU). Some people love characters that others hate. Thus, SW characters are ideal for such a "points war" kind of game. This is about characters you like, characters you don't like, and characters that bore the **** out of you.

    The game: Each character starts with 20 points. You copy and paste the list of the previous user (first poster, that means you're copy+pasting the OP's list), then you take away one point from a char and give that point to a different char on the list. At the bottom of your post, state what you've done. If you want, you can either take two points but give none or give two points but take none. So the bottom of each new post should look something like this: either [char a] -1 [char b] +1, OR [char a] -2, OR [char a] +2, OR [char a] +1 [char b] +1, OR [char a] -1 [char b] -1. Also, if you want, instead of giving and/or taking points, you can add a new char to the list. Obviously, then, the list might get a little big, so chars that don't get any point activity for a while will probably be dropped (although I'll keep a record of the points). Of course, anyone can return the char to the list at any time. New chars start with 10 points. Returning chars start with what they had before. Once a character gets to zero, s/he/it is removed from the list and permanently eliminated from the game.

    You can only change the list once every five posts (although this rule is subject to change). This includes adding a character. Only one character per add.

    So, let's start simple:

    Luke Skywalker: 20
    Leia Organa: 20
    Han Solo: 20
    Obi-Wan Kenobi: 20
    Chewbacca: 20
    C-3PO: 20
    R2-D2: 20
    Darth Vader: 20
    Grand Moff Tarkin: 20
    Emperor Palpatine: 20
    Yoda: 20
    Lando Calrissian: 20
    Boba Fett: 20
    Jabba the Hutt: 20

    Despite Vader's presence on the list, Anakin Skywalker can still be added. The two will be counted as distinct characters.

    I'll start:

    Luke Skywalker: 20
    Leia Organa: 20
    Han Solo: 20
    Obi-Wan Kenobi: 22
    Chewbacca: 20
    C-3PO: 20
    R2-D2: 20
    Darth Vader: 20
    Grand Moff Tarkin: 20
    Emperor Palpatine: 20
    Yoda: 20
    Lando Calrissian: 20
    Boba Fett: 20
    Jabba the Hutt: 20

    +2 Obi-Wan.

    Sorry, but this is basically identical to the Hurt+Heal game. And new game threads like this need to be moderator approved. Nice idea, though!

    This seems almost identical to Galactic Hurt + Heal. :confused:

    One question. Can EU characters be added to the list? If so I'll get right on it. ;)
