I wonder if we can even dream up 30 smiteable offenses for Don/Dot Yun! But, it is obvious we have a clear cut winner and a deserving one at that. For a guy who had a relatively minor role, Lester was so extremely memorable, if for nothing more than the laugh he coaxed out of Jim. It realy has been and continues to be so very difficult to smite him. Hats off Lester - it's check mate! I know I am always the last one to want to leave a party, but just driving around today running errands, I came up with plenty more minor characters, and in some instances very minor ones. So if people are not sick of all this already how about a new one. A very minor character survival game. See if you can add any to it, and feel free to wipe out any before starting that you think are not worthy. Or if need be, maybe " were done here." Anthony Knowles Misty West Don Bellamy- Mary Beth's NJ squeeze Dance Lady DeShawn Oliver Mike Berrarras Chase Eastman Meg Wheeler's husband, Ty Largent's Lawyer Internal Affairs guy Detective in awe of Jim, (need a name.) The friend of the kid who got shot. (need a name.) And am I really reaching if I say: funeral home guy Minister in the church Carl Desmond, (dead when we met him) Black Police Officer who walked Jim up to the squad in Doggone. (much too tall. He made Jim look so short) I'm sure there are more. I did not even go into some of the episodes. (in my head) Oh and when I got home I had forgotten to pick up the things at the cleaners. I wonder why? |

I wonder why? I think you covered just about everyone except the guy who stopped to help Jim in the crosswalk and my own personal "favorite", the woman who offered to cut his steak at Clay's party. She would be Sooooo easy to smite and easier to kill. |

There's always Virginia Purdy, or the father of the boy who was "molested" by Warren Doyle

I wonder why? One to confirm and three more for the list: Tyler Mills - the kid who watched Josh get shot Jason Strow - the detective who did the stop and frisk on Josh Crist Freeze - the street guy who deals Damon Long - the guy who actually pulled the trigger There are so many minor minor characters in Under the Gun, we play a round based on this episode alone! |

Maybe if we had a criteria, like they must have more than two lines to qualify. Just for fun we could just have a skeet shoot and get rid of those really really minor ones right now, like e.g. too tall policeman could head downstairs in the elevator shaft being repaired. In other words just get rid of some of those really really minor ones. OK Kathy, how about 'steak lady' or ' guy in the crosswalk". Otherwise lets make a list of who is left. Feel free to add some. Then someone, Shmeep? could set up the list and the rules, please.

How about the lady in dance class who said how great it was that Jim gets out. I always hated her probably because I hate it when people talk like that to me.

There's always Virginia Purdy, or the father of the boy who was "molested" by Warren Doyle Victoria, was her name. But we'll forgive you, for turning Don into Dot and Dr. Taylor into Mr. It's hard to keep them all straight. And Vic was Meg Wheeler's hubbie's name. I think there's plenty of people to kill off in another round. (Heck, I think we have to kill of Chase Eastman, whether or not we play again!) If you really want to stretch, there's the guy at the embroidery shop, Mr. "You Let Your Dog Chew On This". Stan Archer. (Ethan's dad) Did we ever kill off Mr. Yun (the dad, not the son)? Linda Middleton. Definitely we need to kill off Sweetheart the Lawyer. There's always the bellhop kid, and Jerry "the Skivvies" Tuxhorn. Miss Librarian. Did we ever do Louis? I know we did Johnny... I think. Paula (Lynn's roomie). That's all I can think of off the top of my head. You know what would be really interesting? To do a game of just the characters we never met because they were already dead, or just fun to gossip about, and see which ones deserved to die the most. Start off with low points, just a quick game. Bud Kessle, Anne Donnelly, Josh Krist, Lynn Bodner, Rip and Demetrius, Mr. Lee, Sam Berglass, Less the dirty old man, Sylvie Wheeler, Carl Desmond, etc. --GB |

There's always that very bitter asian lady in the red dress from Clay's party--she kinda scared me, so I'd add her as a target! --GB |

A few other possibilities--
the uniform who met Jim and Karen at Nancy Dressler's apartment in Marlon's Brando who said he was more concerned with getting ESU and who Nancy thought was going to throw up when he saw her face
The couple at the first dance class who thought it was great that Jim got out
The coroner's assistant in In Your Face who was so flustered by Karen he didn't know whether to speak up, look at his clipboard or jump in one of the holding units(can't think what they call those things!!!)

You guys crack me up! I say go ahead and set up whatever kind of game you like with whatever rules you like. I'm all out of ideas, but I can see you guys are in need of another diversion. My only suggestion would be that the actual list we play off of isn't too long because that's what makes the games drag on beyond the interest level of those on the board. Ten is a good number, and it still leaves plenty of characters for future games.
Greenbeing, I love the idea of a game involving characters we never met. Hilarious! We can only go on the way the other characters felt about them. There's no reason why we can't have more than one game going at once.
If I set up a list or rules, it will just be the same old same old, so I suggest one of you go ahead and make something up for us to do. We can keep discussing it here to get more ideas, but anyone can set up a game whenever they like.
I know Mags has an idea for another game possibly reusing some of the major characters again--she misses them--so that's another thing to think about. Any suggestions for that one? Any new rules or stipulations that can give us a fresh take on killing them off (or doing something completely different to them--like giving them makeovers or something)? We are open to suggestion!!

Then someone, Shmeep? could set up the list and the rules, please. Well, Mary - Steak lady could meet her demise when after Jim accidentally spills his beer in Christie's lap, the knife slips while he is cutting his steak and accidentally severs her jugular (sorry, I know it is nasty and I hate for Jim to be implicated). Cross walk guy - that's a different story because he really was just trying to help. And he probably has offered to help other people cross the street who have accepted it. I would hate to have to kill him. So let's just let him die of old age. OK? |

I'm game to try whatever anybody wants. I think it's a good idea to have more than one game going at once. Maybe even something totally different than this because I know some people don't like this game.
I'm with Maggie on one thing. I miss the blonde dude too!
As for making up new rules, I vote for the most creative serial killer among us. How about it Mary?

Hmmm...I say we all put on our thinking caps (can you tell I'm a teacher?) and try to come up with a DOA game, or a Extreme Makeover game (I still love to read the Dressing the Dunbars thread from way back. That was just so much fun. So maybe something along those lines.) Hey maybe a Trading Spaces type game, like the Dunbars and Pete Steckle change places, or a Wife Swap, Christie for Mary Beth. I don't know, but let's just "chill on the futon" a little and let our imaginations run wild. And Anita is right, we need some of our major players back in it. I'm going away for a day and when I come back, I hope you have a game planned. I bet GB can come up with a really creative idea. I do have 10 minor characters picked out for another survivor, but something else might be fun.

I'm sure we can come up with something. |
