Each character starts with 8 points. You can take one turn per day by adding 2 to any character and subtracting 2 from another. Once all characters reach 12 points (max amount of points) then we move on to subtraction only until two characters are left standing. There will be two winners from each round that will fight to the death in the final round.
As always, thank you to KidSeventySeven, Serenity@Sea and SweetSister for the help

Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

He was the writer for True Romance, but Tony Scott directed it.Should I be ashamed that I had assumed I've seen every Tarantino movie, but then just realized he did True Romance? I know what I'm watching tonight...

I love Death Proof but that's probably my least favorite Tarantino film (Tarantino's, too) as well. It's still highly enjoyable. Probably goes something like thisStuntman Mike is a creep, haha, and Death Proof is my least favorite Tarantino film, so
Pulp Fiction>Inglorious Basterds>Kill Bill Vol. 2 (I HATED that ending, though)>Django Unchained>Kill Bill Vol. 1>Reservoir Dogs>Jackie Brown>Death Proof. True Romance will fit somewhere in there at some point. I'd also say that Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Django are pretty interchangeable and the gap between my top 2-5 isn't that large
Edit: Alright. Currently downloading True Romance because of the positive reaction via BitTor...uh...iTunes?

I'd say my list is about the same, but only the top 3 are really solid. The rest are pretty much interchangeable, with the exception of Death Proof.
It's always nice to see someone else who prefers KB:V2 to KB:V1

Monroe, Did you watch True Romance last night? I'm curious what you thought about it.
I always loved V2 more. It has the more Western atmosphere, which I love. And as awesome as the fight with the Crazy 88 was at the end of V1, the fight with Elle Rider always topped that for me. I remember I first saw it with my Dad and when Budd was killed, I said, "Aw. I wanted the Bride to kill him."I'd say my list is about the same, but only the top 3 are really solid. The rest are pretty much interchangeable, with the exception of Death Proof.
It's always nice to see someone else who prefers KB:V2 to KB:V1
"Well, he was killed by a Black Mamba."
That kind of blew my mind as a kid. Plus, I love her training scenes and all those flashbacks that characterize her relationship with Bill. I shouldn't have said I hated the ending, but I remember I was disappointed we didn't get a huge fight. I mean, Bill was feared by all his assassins and I was prepared for a fight that would leave me ready to pass out by the end. She literally didn't break a single nail killing him. Their last talk was pretty emotional, though
