Fleming Bond elimination game

Post by Kristatos »

As discussed, an elimination game for Ian Fleming's James Bond novels and short stories, including my initial vote. They are ordered according to John Griswold's chronology of Bond's life, but without the awkward splitting of OHMSS into two parts.

Casino Royale - 5 points
Live and Let Die - 5 points
Moonraker - 5 points
Diamonds are Forever - 5 points
[glow=green]From Russia, With Love - 6 points (+1)[/glow]
Dr. No - 5 points
Goldfinger - 5 points
Risico - 5 points
Quantum of Solace - 5 points
The Hildebrand Rarity - 5 points
From a View to a Kill - 5 points
For Your Eyes Only - 5 points
Thunderball - 5 points
Octopussy - 5 points
The Living Daylights - 5 points
The Property of a Lady - 5 points
On Her Majesty's Secret Service - 5 points
[glow=red]Agent 007 in New York - 4 points (-1)[/glow]
The Spy Who Loved Me - 5 points
You Only Live Twice - 5 points
The Man With the Golden Gun - 5 points

Remember, votes should be based on Fleming's original stories alone, your feelings on the film adaptations are not relevant to this game. Have fun!

Can Goldeneye move this to the announcements section in place of the now-ended Bond Theme Elimination Game?

Eliminated :skull:

21 - Agent 007 in New York
20 - Quantum of Solace


This is like the X Factor - the novelty acts get eliminated first. Now we've got rid of the scrambled egg recipe and the boring dinner party anecdote, that just leaves the "proper" Bond stories. Well, and TSWLM, but I quite like that one.

It's about 30 pages. :D

From wiki:

James Bond investigates a Secret Service employee, Maria Freudenstein, who is a double agent about to be paid by her Russian keepers by auctioning a clock crafted by Peter Carl Fabergé at Sotheby's in her name. The Russians have sent the Resident Director of the KGB in London to attend the auction and underbid for the item in order to push the price to the necessary value to pay for her services as a double agent

And if that sounds familiar, it's because it formed part of the plot of Octopussy (the movie). Anyway, on to my votes
