Transparently a berth in the bilges...

The first day of voting is over. The Remade citizens of Arda sit back and note with amusement the following final distribution of the votes:
Sauron: I Glorfindel: I Anárion: I Fuinur: I Durin III: IIIII Ar-Pharazôn: IIIII I With six votes out of a total of fifteen cast, Ar-Pharazôn narrowly heads off Durin III for the first dismissal. It would appear that the voters of Arda Envinyanta haven't forgotten the man who did more than Melkor to destroy the world as we know it. Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Amdír Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Tar-Aldarion Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Durin III Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Thorondor Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Herumor Fuinur Those Voted Off: Ar-Pharazôn the Golden Day 2 is up! Vote to your little hearts' contents. |
Ahhh...the sweet smell of our first victory!!
Announcer: Welcome back to the Second Age Survivor brought to you by Swallow Hard, your cure for all gall bladder complains. Remember, when you have excess gall, use Swallow Hard. And we’re back to the action. I’m joined here in the booth by Bob. Bob, what is your take on the action?
Color Commentator: Well Cliff, the main development has been the reformation of the Saucie/Kuru Alliance of DOOM! This limping juggernaut may or may not have a discernable impact on the course of the game. They are currently offering a spot to the Elector Lalaith. This would simply involve the three of them combining votes until such time as they all ran out of mutually agreeable targets for eviction. At that point they will undoubtedly turn on each other. However, by that point they will probably have burned through about five or six candidates that they don’t like. (did you get all that Lalaith? ;)) Kuruharan is currently hoping that Holbytlass will put in an appearance because he has a deal to propose. Oh yes, and there may have been a successful eviction or some rot like that, I can't be bothered with following the details when I'm analyzing the game. Meanwhile, whether or not the Alliance of DOOM has a discernable impact on the voting, they are already succeeding in annoying Anguirel and the phantom. This has been great for the ratings. Announcer: And why is that Bob? Color Commentator: (Where is my Martini James Bond?!! Somebody is going to be fired for this!!!)…ahem, sorry. The viewers find the spectacle of the phantom losing it to be irresistible. When he starts cracking up (and we are seeing signs of this) he has a tendency to sometimes become hysterical, which is hysterical. The viewers love hilarity. He also is one of the top targets on H.A.G.’s hit list because he is a male chauvinist. Anything that annoys him is good in their eyes. (They also resent the fact that he won’t try to seduce them…but I won’t say anything about that because we’ll be sued again.) F.A.T. and R.E.A.L. F.A.T. also (oddly enough) can agree on the fact that they don’t like him because he is better looking and more successful with the ladies than they are. Announcer: (That git!) Color Commentator: They are just green with envy. Uhh…Cliff, you don’t look so good…turning an interesting shade of teal… Announcer: Nonsense! The phantom is more than welcome to see our show and watch our commercials. Sideline Reporter: THE PHANTOM?!! Did you say the phantom?!! He’s watching now?!! And I’m without my leather!!! Announcer: No fair, I’ve never seen you in your lea… SSSHHHHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSHHHHHHHHHHH Director: We interrupt this program to give a stern talking to in the general direction of the broadcast team about proper behavior, and to get the stiff drinks out of the booth. We will take advantage of this opportunity to show a few more hours of commercials. BAWH-HAWH-HAWH-HAWH!!! |
++TAR-ALDARION
The most boring character ever. Oh, look at me! I'm in a mutually unsatisfactory relationship! But do I try to add any drama to my story? Answer's no. A total waste of space. I've decided that both he and Erendis must go. As long as this is brought about, I shall be happy. |
Ok, I'm spotted.
I quite like Eomer's reasoning vis a vis Tar-A - are you up for this, team? |
Yeah, I pretty much am. We'll have to see what Saucepan Man says.
|
++TAR-ALDARION
yeah i would have to do that too... |
Ooo!!! Bandwaggoning!! Yay!! :D
++TAR-ALDARION |
|
How marvellous. The Alliance of Doom has already scored one victory. :D
Glad to have you aboard, Lal. :) Quote:

Noooo!
Alright people, first you kick off Ar-Pharazon, who I would've liked to see stay, and now you gang up on Aldarion. Soon Numenor will be kingless at the pace you people are voting for them.
Why don't you vote for the other estranged couples, like the ents and the entwives? They've done far less for Middle-Earth than what Tar-Aldarion did. ++Fangorn |
Fimbrethil and Fangorn were originally brought onto the program to increase the romance factor. Unfortunately, Entish romance has turned out rather dull owing to the extreme non-hastiness of the society as a whole. Fimbrethil is a bit more hasty than Fangorn, given her long years of wandering. Besides, she has important skill as a gardener for the farming challenges. Fangorn just lets the weeds spring up where they please. And so:
++FANGORN |
I think Aldarion is a fine example of one we should keep on the island. He is more than just part of a hurting romance, he is allso involved in an intense romance with the only lover who cannot be denied, the sea. Anyone who does not have this cannot know what it is like. I have only tasted a small part and believe me that his continued survival will make for excellent ratings because of his affair with the ocean. Therefore, I will vote for the otehr alternative.
++Fangorn |
Hmm... the choice is between a Numenorian and an Other Speaker.
I wouldn't mind seeing either of them go. Better yet, both at once! :) The Numenorians looked decent at the start, but much of the appeal was Ar-Phar, who is now gone, so the Numenorians are pretty useless now. And the Other Speaker tribe- well, they were unattractive to begin with. I'd vote for all of them if I could. |
Wait! I have another option!
Vote Thorondor. Yes, Eagles are wonderful, but this one's really outstayed his welcome by participating. He isn't mentioned once in the stories of the Second Age, as far as I recall... ++THORONDOR |
Quote:
There's plenty of mention of the "Eagles of Manwë" come about the time of the Akallabêth. In rounding out my "Other Speakers" group, I elected to assume that Thorondor is, in fact, a sentient being on par with any other here, and that he was, in fact, among the Eagles who "bombed" Númenor after Ar-Pharazôn's departure for Valinor. That said, I don't care one way or another if he stays or goes. He was a lovely character in the First Age, but in this he's filler. |
There you have it.
A filler. Die:
++Thorondor Anguirel, I would like to offer you a deal. I (and perhaps my sister Lhuna) will help you get Fuinur tomorrow, in exchange for not voting for certain characters until the merge. Will you accept? (I like the politics of this game. We need stuff like this in WW!) |
Hmmm. Send a confidential messenger to my camp and we shall discuss this...proposal...
|
You know, the more I think about it, the more I dislike Tar-Aldarion.
Commitment-phobe. *shudder* So, for now, ++TAR-ALDARION. If the Alliance has strong objections to this vote, I will of course honour my pledges and change it. |
++THORONDOR THE FILLER
A soap opera is bad, but a blank TV commercial is worse. We can't let that alliance of ultra-doom (mark the lowercase letters) have all the fun. What say you, Anguirel? |
+ + Thorondor The Silent. Did he have larengytis
all through the Second Age? |
ok, in order to save Aldarion
--Fangorn ++Thorondor |
Ah well, even though I prefer the maritally mistreated Tar-Aldarion to the self-indulgent Erendis, I am always willing to stick up for those steady chaps who are more easily overlooked.
I will therefore vote with the newest member of our Alliance (although I suspect that we may disgaree over Erendis :D ). + + TAR-ALDARION |
Lhuna, I, like the great ship-king Tar-Aldarion, am not inclined to commit myself. But while our loose pact is mutually convenient, I hope it will be of profit to us and irritation to our foes. Though it looks like it's not getting off to a glorious start.
Thorondor's had his time. His participation is undignified. He really needs to retire and stop cramping the style of people who actually get mentioned in the Second Age... |
What? Were you kids treated cruelly by your grandparents or something? Fangorn is easily the most loveable character on this show.

We must ponder whether to stoop to your level!! ;) ++ Tar-Aldarion |
Oi, you, Eomer, vote for Thorondor or I'll vote for Fangorn.
And my Lhunatic and Nilpaurionesque chums may well stand with me. |
Don't worry Saucie. While I have rather more sympathy for Mrs Tar-A than her roving spouse (because he was an absentee father as well as a bad husband) she's still a flawed character and I'm not going to fight for her. I just wanted him to go first.
|
I'm hoping for a double lynching.
+ + Thorondor Anguirel, if you and your chums abandon your votes for Thorondor and put them on Fangorn, I will do the same, because I don't really care which of them goes. |
A message for the Alliance of Doom...
If you will help me defend two characters of my choosing I will do all I can to defend two characters of your choosing.
|
++Thorondor
This bird has out lived his usefullness and should be dismissed without further delay |
The Second day of voting is over. The Remade citizens of Arda sit back and note with amusement the following final distribution of the votes:
Fangorn: II Thorondor: IIIII II Tar-Aldarion: IIIII II Once again, a King of the Númenoreans received an eviction notice from the game. It seems that the good voters of Arda Envinyanta were highly Catholic in their thinking, and looked down in disapproval on Arda's foremost example of marital strife. However, Tar-Aldarion was not alone in his eviction, but was accompanied from the game by Thorondor. The voters did not feel, it seemed, that he had a real right to be present. Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Amdír Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Durin III Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Herumor Fuinur Those Voted Off: Ar-Pharazôn the Golden Day 3 begins now! Vote away as you please. |
NOTICE: Morm's under-the-wire vote will be counted.
Edit to the last post coming up. |

(Note from Anguirel's automated robovoter-the sender of this vote is sleeping. This is a neoautovote 2000.) |
++Durin III, aka The Dull
In this case, three is not better than one. |
sure why not
++Durin III |
++Durin III
He really is annoying. Like I said earlier as well, I'd rather not see anothe Dwarf. |
++DURIN THE DANK (Durin III)
How smart was it to take a Ring of Power from an Elf? He was greedy, and his kin in The Hobbit Survivor paid the price, and now its time for him to suffer the consequenses with his bretheren. ________ Rolling A Joint |
++Durin three
He doesn't have the appeal (or the delete-member capability) of Orogarn Two. :smokin: |
