I cooked up the (I'm not saying "original") idea, almost two months ago, I think, and I thank you all for creeping along with me this far, and making it fun, by participating. :)

The eliminations began with 24 characters; one was eliminated for each round, and now, only one remains, the other 23 left behind, trapped in a closed poll, forever.

The winner is link
