Since last season’s kill counter worked after a fashion, we’ll be running it again with only one modification since there will be a lot of Kim Bauer mentions. It will be a points based system that awards Jack Bauer points for doing good things like killing someone and negative points for doing bad things like saying “I’m sorry”.
Each week we will ask you to submit how many points you think Jack will get, the person closest wins. Submit how many points Jack Bauer will rack up in the first 4 episodes in the comments or, for this week only because we’re cutting it so close, in the live thread – we will publish the winner on Tuesday (1/20).
Here is the preliminary list of points. We may remove and/or add to this list as the season progresses, so send us any suggestions you may have.
Kill Counter 3.5
Killing Someone = 1 point
Killing a good guy = -1 point
Bonus Points
“Dammit” = 1 point
“We don’t have enough time” = 1 point
Shooting down a helicopter = 5 points
Apologizing for anything = -5 points
Crying = -5 points
Surrendering to bad guys = -10 points
