We had so much fun with the "Wreck or Repair" thread I thought I'd start another one, again with a sci-fi theme, but this time all about the robots, twenty in total. Rules are a bit different this time. Voting is in two stages.

Stage one - Choose 3 names per day. You can give 2 pluses or 2 minuses to your three choices.

Stage two - Once we're down to ten artificial lifeforms, choose 3 names per day, but this time you can still give 2 minuses, but only 1 plus! This prevents an armistice. (You can still give all pluses if you like, but it'll have less effect than the minuses)

One more rule - if you knock off a robot, you have to say what happened to it. It doesn't need to be a full narration with plot, special effects budget and dialogue, but you have to tell us how the robot went to great garbage pile in the sky. Without any further ado, the list.

Not to be picky but shouldn't it be Robby the Robot from "Forbidden Planet"? B9 was the robot in Lost in Space.
Robby the Robot did make a guest appearance on Lost in Space but not as himself. They used him as an alien robot.

I have held great affection for B9 since I was a wee lad.

Well, of course it's called B9. That's why I called it that. *coughs*

*hopes he does this right*

I didnt play the other game, so I'm kind of confused.

Do we pick three robots, in total, and divide our two pluses and minuses up between those three, how we see fit. For instance:

20 - The Terminator (Arnie version) - Terminator (plus one)
20 - T-1000 (Robert Patrick) - Terminator 2(plus one)
20 - Johnny 5 - Short Circuit(minus 2)

or the opposite of minus one, minus one, plus two.

Or do we pick three robots to plus and three to minus, each by two. like:

20 - The Terminator (Arnie version) - Terminator(plus 2)
20 - T-1000 (Robert Patrick) - Terminator 2(plus 2)
20 - Johnny 5 - Short Circuit(plus 2)

20 - Roy Batty - Blade Runner(minus 2)
20 - Marvin the paranoid android - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy(minus 2)
20 - Data - ST: TNG(minus 2)

okay, my understanding looks more like lans.

whilst there is over 10 robots you pick 3.

for each of them you can either add two points, or take two points away. you could add two to all 3 or take two away from all 3, or mix them up.

once there are 10 and less robots you pick 3.

for each of them you either add two points, or take one point away.

and so taking from lan's lead...

Smaug, Lan and Cav have it down.

oh bloody hell. I could barely keep track of the math involved with 1 plus and 1 minus!

(I'm still confused - go figure - We could +2 to all our choices? Or -2 to all our choices? And I kinda think having the "2" in "Terminator 2" is eventually gonna confuse us, or was that Dweller's intent? )

Also, another point of clarification, are Optimus Prime and Megatron from the Cartoon or the Movie?

And she added one in, Smaug. Uncheated.

i saw the one added, i thought that was the obvious cheat so i ignored it.

its like it keep telling people, its not a lie if its *obviously* not true

as a side hijack i find it better not to lie, my memory isn't good enough!
