I got this idea off of IMDB. Through the process of elimination, we decide which is the most desirable Detroit "fantasy". I took 10 samples that have been recent threads.
To play:
1. Copy and paste the list onto your post
2. place a (+1) by the thing you would like to see the most
3. Place a (-1) by the thing that you would like to see the least.
4. Add or subtract the number that placed the + and - 1 by.
5. Just do this once per post.
6. Eventually, with enough participation, each subject will be eventually eliminated until the most popular idea will remain.
Red Wings build new stadium in Foxtown 10
Quicken Loans returns to Grand Circus Park 10
Kwame Kilpatrick removed from/ or leaves office 10
Public railway built up Woodward Ave. from downtown to Pontiac 10
Tiger stadium partially restored, partially converted to retail space 10
Detroit Lions go to Superbowl (don’t necessarily win) 10
Riverwalk completed from Belle Isle to Ambassador Bridge 10
New bridge built over Detroit River 10
Detroit builds a nationally renowned
United Artists theatre refurbished and becomes a second “Fox” 10
Dream Cruise extends to Downtown 10
I'll get the ball rolling with my next post
Thanks for playing! |

Disclaimer: I think the Kwame one will skew the results and shouldn't be included, so I'm ignoring it. That said:

In all honesty, none of these things much matter to me, aside from removing the mayor..downtown is cool, but I'm sorta hoping to see more focus on the neighborhoods in the future.
Edited..only one + and one - per post.
Dang Kwame, dominating the landscape..

People aren't quite getting this. You are only supposed to add a point to your single most important item and subtract one from your single least important item.
I can't correct the past so I'll start from 'planner's score:

Doop! sorry I read the instructions to mean the whole universe not one single project. I am also afraid I'd screw it up more if I went to fix it as I can't control the submissions of others. |

From rule #6, I gather when something ("Lions go to Super Bowl", for instance) reaches zero, it is removed from the list. |
