Imagine what a bore the island would be without Grishnakh? He is the lone guy in this entire thing, he is the outcast, the underdog, no one wants him to win. Look at all this drama he creates.

We can lose Eomer, Glorfindel, Gloin, and Quickbeam without causing as much drama as Grishnakh himself causes.

The Saucepan Man 10-04-2005 04:07 PM

Listen to Boromir88. He speaks wisely. I don't know how many times I have to remind everyone, but this is meant to be a TV entertainment show, not a lovey-dovey goody-goody love-in!!!

I hope that you Grishnakh voters never go into TV light entertainment production ... :p ;)

So. Who do we go for today? Quickbean or Eomer?

Glirdan 10-04-2005 04:11 PM

How can you say that? Glorfindel has more drama!! He got hit over the head by Arwen, thrown in a bush and had his horse stollen!!! How can you not call that drama!?!?

The other I'm fine with. I just really want to get rid of Grishnahk because of his smell. And the other things I've said.

Arwen has left the island. Since her absence, Glorfindel hasn't had a single moment of TV drama. Carrying Elrond's banner??? That's not drama...

The Orc stays! We need some drama. The orc provides that. His temper is something the audience loves to hate.

The Saucepan Man 10-04-2005 04:26 PM

*Rallies to mormegil's banner*

You have my sword - er - vote.

So, Eomer today, Quickbeam tomorrow - right?

Ah, Eomer, my Rider... nice knowing you.

++Eomer

But Quickbeam's going tomorrow.

Glirdan 10-04-2005 08:05 PM

Well, it looks like the King of Rohan is out. Fare thee well my friend. And isn't it ironic that Eomer was lynched in WW XI?

Alcarillo 10-04-2005 08:42 PM

It's utterly useless, but oh well.

Yes ma'am.

++Eomer

Enough with this usurper! Theoden had three sisters, all older than Theodwyn. Surely ONE of them had a child, or was at least still alive at the time of the Pelennor! If so, then by the rights of primogeniture Eomer was a usurper. The bum! I wouldn't be surprised if he had a hand in Theodred's death.

She hoggs the water, and I feel like voting randomly!

Quickly! We must form a shield wall! It's not too late.

Come on, people; can you really do without Eomer and Gimli's dueling?

++GRISHNAKH

Lalaith 10-05-2005 02:45 AM

Oh for heaven's sake. You say you want good tv, and then you get rid of the one guy left who looks good stripped to the waist chopping firewood? :rolleyes:
Plus he has a lovely temper on him, that Eomer, so you can't say he doesn't provide drama.

++GRISHNAKH

Boromir88 10-05-2005 04:52 AM

Despite Quickbeam not going yesterday, I'll stick to my pledge...

++Eomer

Eomer- 10
Grishnakh- 5

Hmm, can't say that makes great TV for me. But then, I guess it depends on your perspective ... ;)

Besides. You still have Gimli. He's good with an axe. :D

Update-

Eomer-9
Grishnakh-6
Galadriel-1

With many of the Eomer party still to act, there's everything to play for. If you ever marvelled at a piece of alliterative poetry; if you ever shuddered with excitement hearing of a Berserker's deeds...if you ever admired Beowulf or Gawain; if you ever thrilled to the roll of an invincible roan horse's back-

Then vote for this so called "Orcish genius", a malodorous, querulous, inept gorilla who was fooled by a third-class Smeagol imitation.

Forth Eorlingas!

Koneko 10-05-2005 07:29 AM

O.O Very persuasive. (He did look rather arthurian, didn't he?) ++Grishnakh

I don't like Merry.

Folwren 10-05-2005 07:51 AM

This trully is horrible. A Horse Lord in danger if being dismissed? Eomer is almost as cool as Aragorn and Faramir! Both of those are gone, I notice!

++Grishnakh

You know, it's bad enough that you kicked Sam off practically at the very beginning. You said you wanted to see how Frodo did without Sam, and then as soon as the faithful servant was gone, you turn on his master. The bone I've still to pick with you who did that is not yet bare. This orc...this Grishnakh...is not worth keeping. I am glad that he is the one you latch on to. He's an easy target for me, because I feel no pity nor liking for him.

Watch yourself, and wait...just wait...

Boy, you really bear a grudge, Folwren, don't you? :D

Come on people. Be radical. Think out of the box. Challenge the establishment. Behave unpredictably.

And what could be more radical, anti-establishment and unpredictable on a Tolkien forum than to favour an Orc over the King of Rohan. :smokin:

Where's all that teenage rebellion gone? :(

Seemingly only those who are not teenagers have it :p

I've changed my signature in hopes of recruiting some to help our Orc.

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-05-2005 08:22 AM

Well if you look at the Barrow-Downs, I would say that it would be more radical if we were to vote for Eowyn ! ! !

Eomer causes some nice tension, it'd be fun to keep him in a while longer.

Only when it's necessary, actually. I'll be quite willing to forgive you all when either your cause or mine is quite without hope.

. . .

Teenage rebellion?

Saucepan, I'm shocked. It's hard enough living properly in this day and age. We don't need your help in getting us to rebel. And it's NOT the lack of teenage rebellion that get's us to strive for Eomer's safety and Grishnakh's ruin. It's the preference of a smart, awesome guy, with the coolest horses, over some smelly, crude, insulting orc.

Tsk! Teenagers today. :rolleyes:

Things have clearly changed since my day ... :(

To put it into contemporary terms, Eomer is like the cool, popular athletic guy at school. You know, the one who looks down on the pale, long-haired geeky types (like Wormtongue) and ridicules their love of heavy rock (or goth) music, fantasy literature and role-playing games. I don't know about you lot, but I hated those types when I was at school.

Geeks of the forum unite! Vote out the jock (US not UK terminology).

:D

Whether Saucie invokes Orc liberation fronts or teenage Goth misunderstandings, behold his real purpose.

He's merely trying to weed out popular contestants who rival his own candidate (probably someone annoying like Pippin or Gimli...) This is why he's after Eomer.

Vote for Eomer and you play into the hands of a sinister, puppeteering lawyer!

I am merely doing my duty. After all, it is a key principle of all fair legal systems that everyone, no matter how reviled, has the right to a proper defence. ;)
