[Games] Elimination CAF: La Vie en Rose
I don't know if you guys play these here (I'm new, although I've been a member of BtN for ages), but an Elimination CAF is a mash-up between a CAF and an elimination game. You start out with 5 different names in each category (First name, middle name, Last name) and each poster eliminates one from each category until one remains. For example, if I posted:LN: Smith, Johnson, Williams, Jones
Out:Husband
Out:
FN: John, William, James, George
MN: Jacob, Henry, Ellis, Bernard
The poster right after would post:
The next poster would put:LN: Smith, Johnson, Williams
Out: JonesHusband
Out: George Ellis
FN: John, William, James
MN: Jacob, Henry, Bernard
And so on and so forth. When all of the names have been decided, I will create another round.So, our story begins in Paris, France in 1936 with a couple in their late 30s with six children, the eldest 13, the youngest a newborn. They are:

Fast forward to 1954. Robert, a veteran of World War II, has survived the bloody war and made a good living for himself as a lawyer. He does not marry until he is 30--his mother Marguerite worried until then that he would always be alone--but he falls in love with a beautiful woman eight years his junior. A year later, she gives birth to a boy, but unfortunately she dies due to a rare complication during a routine C-section. Robert is absolutely heartbroken, and temporarily moves back in with his parents so that his mother can help him raise his son.Robert's wife's: (1931-1954)

In his late twenties, he falls in love with the young daughter of the rival Parisian watchmaker. Though both families are adamantly against their courtship at first, the happy couple marries and assuages the tension between the two watchmakers, who realize that it was better to do business with each other than compete. It is 1962, and Claude and his wife have two young sons:Claude's wife: (b. 1932)

S: Daniel Marc Girard (b. 1933)
D: Anne Geneviève Girard (b. 1936)The eldest Girard daughter, Jacqueline, is an organized, sensible taskmaster (although "bossy" is the way her siblings put it). Pragmatic and business-oriented, Joseph employs his daughter as a salesperson and receptionist, starting in high school and thereafter, while she attends college (the first in her family to do so!) While working in her father's store one day, she helps a shy, soft-spoken man pick a watch as a present for his father, and the man is taken with her instantly. However, he is too shy to speak with her, so every couple of days he would come and pace in front of the Girard watch shop. Jacqueline found this interesting in a detached way until one day when he came into the shop holding a bouquet of flowers. They soon began to date and Jacqueline learned that he owned one of the bakeries in town. Slowly but surely fell in love with the man's gentle demeanor, steady hands, and his wonderful pastries. Upon graduating from college, Jacqueline and her fiance married and have five daughters, all who were raised on fresh baked bread, their mother's somewhat overbearing but unending love, and their father's gentle smile.
