The Great HDC Showdown III - Women of Horror
Good Morning/Evening to all HDC-ians!!
Yes, it's back! I welcome you all to.. And this time, we have it with all the wonderful WOMEN OF HORROR. Quite simply put, women power has driven our favorite film genre through the ages, right from Elsa Lanchester's Bride to Vera Farmiga's Lorraine. How good they will be when they stack up against each other, will be decided by YOU. If you haven't been a part of the HDC Showdown before, here's the first iteration and the second iteration. To put down the rules, here they are:- 1 - We tee off with 18 HDC participants. All were asked to list NINE alphabets in the teaser thread, which corresponds to NINE landmark female roles in horror cinema history - EIGHT from the decades gone by, and ONE from a very special section. All 18 HDCians will be drafted into SIX teams of THREE HDCians each. That makes it 27 women-in-horror performances per team. 2 - One team will then be pitted against TWO other teams, with triple threat Showdowns leading up to 5 votes per winner. The HDCians involved in that Showdown can also cast their own votes (including a bit of canvassing for their choices, if they choose so). There is no fixed criteria for voting for a particular horror femme performance. You may choose acting ability, looks, or any other criteria you deem fit, when you vote. Be tactful, and cast your vote judiciously - if you support your stronger opponents, you yourself might get knocked out by them in the next round!  3 - The winner of each Showdown earns 1 HDC dollar. The losers get kiboshed. All HDC dollars are added up on the leaderboards, which will be displayed ONCE after every NINE Showdowns. 4 - At the end of all Showdowns of Round 1 for all SIX teams, ONE HDCian from each of the BOTTOM THREE teams (teams with the lowest HDC dollars earned) will be ELIMINATED. Teams will then be REDRAFTED!! We continue on until we find our SHOWDOWN EMPEROR!! (or EMPRESS) 5 - An Updated Grid showing the choices of the HDCians and their teams involved will be posted at the end of each match, for one of you to make the set of choices for the next Showdown. 6 - Whoever is online when the Grid is posted, can post his/her choices. IN CASE the said person is a participant and does NOT want to be a part of the next Showdown, he/she may choose to sit out and name THREE other choices who will duke it out between themselves. 7 - A choice once chosen and ending up either winning/losing a Showdown, CANNOT be chosen again. This ensures all other choices AND all other participants a fair chance of earning some HDC dollars. 8 - The number of HDC dollars one wins (a maximum of 9 HDC dollars) will enable the participant to get *NEW* Alphabetical choices. For example, Rayne wins 5 HDC dollars, which means 5 of her choices (attributed to the same alphabets she chose), WILL be CHANGED!! 9 - In case of any conflict/misunderstanding, PM me pointing it out, and I will look into it before finalising a solution/decision. You are free to indulge in ribbing and gentle nudging your opponents, as well as cheering for your choices (which you MUST!), but PLEASE dont degrade the thread into arguments, bickering and fights. Just sit back, and enjoy the ride! Here are the 18 HDC participants who have thrown their hats into the Showdown arena: neverending roshiq The Villain hammerfan realdealblues Chronogrl MichaelMyers Straker Newb Sculpt Despare totem Zero Kandarian Demon Dude Guadalupe (aka) Grimm Webster Rayne Horror4ever GhostDog We start SSSSSOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN.....

Confused on how this game is played but I guess I'll learn as we go ahead. I don't know Dude but I'm sure me, him and Newb will do well.

I'm a bit confused as well. I have quite a few questions already but am hoping they'll be cleared up once the challenge begins.
