It has been a year since the last Race Elimination Game. It is time for another, my battle brothers!
How to play an Elimination Game:
You have a list of choices, and you have +1 or -3 as a vote. All races start at 20. Say for example:
Human - 20
Orc - 20
Troll - 20
Add AND subtract your votes based on your personal preference, and explain why. You can't only add or only subtract, you have to do both! Put your reason why you added or subtracted in green and red for like and dislike respectively. For example:
Human - 20
Orc - 21 Tribal hordes and burning and pillaging the lands is fun. Also demon history.
Troll - 17 I don't like the model, and the male ones all have hunchbacks. Why!?
Take the previous poster's list, and add and subtract based on their score. However, you don't have to select the same one the previous poster did. For example again:
Human - 21 Humans are cool and flexible and junk.
Orc - 18 Green skin, broccoli people.
Troll - 17
See? Easy! Once a race hits 0 or below, they're kicked out. If a poster sees that a race has hit 0, please remove them from your post!
Let's start again!
Human - 20
Dwarf - 20
Night Elf - 17 Seems too stereotypically Elf. When will we get barbarian Elves? Barbarelves?
Gnome - 20
Draenei - 20
Worgen - 20
Orc - 20
Undead - 20
Tauren - 20
Troll - 20
Blood Elf - 20
Goblin - 21 dat technology mmmmmmmmmmmm

Hrm, I noticed this hasn't gotten much of any love in thirteen days; honestly I didn't want to post on it originally because I wasn't too intrigued with it. BUT ALL POSTS NEED LOVE! And so I'll give it my hand, sorry if I fail tragically.
Human - 20
Dwarf - 20
Night Elf - 17
Gnome - 21 - Severely underplayed race with huge potential
Draenei - 20
Worgen - 20
Orc - 20
Undead - 20
Tauren - 20
Troll - 20
Blood Elf - 17 - Them stereotypes, and I feel they're a bit overplayed.
Goblin - 21

Night Elf - 18 - I feel like Night Elves are oft dismissed as all being pro-nature, and super sage-like and everything. People seem to think they all have this nobility to them, which I don't really think happens, especially for a race where so many were raised in the wild. A barbaric Elf would be completely likely, you just have to think why.
Gnome - 21
Draenei - 17 - I've never really thought that they've fit in too well as a playable race, or in WoW's canon in general. If they were just straight neutral, I'd be more accepting, but even then -- super technologically advanced space goats don't really fit into a primarily medieval society.

Human - 18 So much flexibility for making a character here!
Dwarf - 21

((Just to note: You should also make a rule for how many times you can vote. I don't remember how it went last time, but maybe once per every 24 hour?)

Human - 19 Really, I don't see what's wrong with humans. There's -so much variation- it's not even funny. There is no such thing as 'plain' with humans unless you're looking at them hating humans already! Also, humans have indirectly caused everything wrong that's happened to Azeroth for the past few millenia. That's an achievement to be proud of!

Orc - 14 Bloody orcs, invading my human kingdoms and killing everyone in sight. And then Blizzard changes it so you're just misunderstood genocidal maniacs! Pfft.

Tauren - 22 - of all the races, they are the only ones that haven't caused any major damage to Azeroth and my first retail character was a Tauren.
Troll - 20

Goblin - 18 - as far as common RP archetypes, some people don't like the war hardened warrior RP archetype, the holier than thou priest, the off the wall Gnome, the barbarish Orc *ahem* of all of these, I hate the Goblin salesman one.

Human - 19
Dwarf - 21 - Probably, between the three clans, the most diverse race in WoW. Orcs can't be Priests? Don't worry, Bronzebeards got it. Humans can't be Shamans? Wildhammers can.
Night Elf - 18
Gnome - 19
Draenei - 17
Worgen - 20

Undead - 18
Tauren - 16 - I find it kind of ironic that people are giving crap to the Night Elves for all being the same, when the Tauren are still in the running.
