++ The-Man-in-the-Moon
Because I am obstinate and mule-headed, and want him gone. Also because "Moonies" and "mooning" have some rather unsavoury connotations in our society, and one has to wonder exactly where this man is... |
++Man-In-The-Moon.
For reasons already said by the werewolf in ghetto armor and the guy who found religion. |
++The Barrow-wight
We shall overthrow the dictator! Members of the Downs, unite! *waves banner* :D |

I've considered voting for the mewlips before, but I think the entire Mr. Bliss cast ought to go first. Just because I've never read the book and can't imagine it's any good if it's no better than Roverandom. :p So.....sine a vote has already been cast in that direction: ++ TEDDY |
End of Day the Ninth
The defense of the Man-in-the-Moon waned on the ninth day, allowing a sneak attack by his staunchest detractors:
Man-in-the-Moon: 3 votes The Barrow-wight: 2 votes Teddy: 2 votes The Mewlips: 1 vote And so, the Man-in-the-Moon came down too soon, got spectacularly drunk, and staggered off into the deep jungle, never to be heard from again. Day the Tenth finds 39 remaining contestants: Farmer Giles of Ham Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham) Gram, his dog The Giant from the Wild Hills King Augustus Bonifacious Chrysophylax Dives The Miller The Parson Sunny Sam (Fabricius Cunctator) The Blacksmith Smith of Wooton Major/Leaf By Niggle Master Cook Rider Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie Smith of Wooton Major Nell Queen of Faerie Niggle Mr. Parish The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (Poems) Goldberry Badger Old Man Willow The Barrow-wight Goodman Maggott Princess Mee Fíriel The Mewlips Troll Roverandom Roverandom The Wizard Artaxerxes The Little Boy Mew, the Seagull Moon-dog Mer-dog Uin, the Whale Mr. Bliss Girabbit Mr. Day Archie Teddy Bruno Herbert Dorkins Egbert Dorkins Sergeant Boffin |
Do I hear some celebrating? Yes I do! And it's coming from the Formendacil in the crowd...
Anyway, I love seeing my chosen candidate voted off. Considering my oft-contrary tactic of voting, it's sometimes been a rather rare event. And the veterans of Suvivor: The Second Age can attest to my habit of gloating after a particularly successful day. (Galadriel, anyone? :p ) Now, how to repeat this delightful event. How about... ++ Sergeant Boffin A transplanted Hobbit if I've ever seen the name of one. "Boffin"? Really, we should send him back to where he belongs: the Legendarium. |

++Sergeant Boffin. |
++GIRABBIT
Sounds like a horrible evolutionary mistake. Imagine the myximatosis or however you spell it long necked leaf-eating rabbits could transmit... |

Still on the anti-Mr Bliss trail I see, Ang. What do you have against the book? I do so hate voting for characters that I know nothing of (by far the majority in this game), so I shall go back to petitioning for the eviction of that troublesome neighbour ... + + MR PARISH |
I fear what I don't know. And I denigrate what I don't read.
I want to become a member of the literary establishment, y'know, so I haven't any choice... |
+ + Girabbit
Reacting to a rumored stone troll petition, caused by their assumption (they are stone trolls) that a girabbit is related to a burrahobit. |
I stand by my opinion that we need to get
++The Mewlips out of here pronto! How much of the poem do I have to quote to convince people that they're very, very evil?! Quote:

Dang, the poor Moon Man finally gave in to the relentless beatings of SpM & Form. Oh well, he wasn't my favorite to win anyway; I hope he at least gets to stop at the Inn on his way home.
+ + Uin, the Whale For his general incompetency when it comes to challenges and his habit of lazing around like the beached whale that he is. p.s. Wow, if not for Spell Check I would have spelled 'incompetency' wrong...that would've looked good. :D |
Quote:
why not make that like a double negative and thereby make you competent? :cool: And why do I have a feeling Bilbo might say something like that at a party? |
++ The Mewlips
A creepier, less likeable creature does not exist in the minor works. I'll bet they were cannibals into the bargain. That's enough to want them out. |
To defend the wonderfully diabolic Mewlips
--GIRABBIT, ++SERGEANT BOFFIN All these Boffins slope lazily off out of the story, and we can't have this idle example continuing to hold the position of Sergeant. |
End of Day the Tenth
The tenth day marked yet another blow for the battered Bliss tribe:
Sergeant Boffin: 3 votes The Mewlips: 2 votes Girabbit: 1 vote Mr. Parish: 1 vote Uin, the Whale: 1 vote And so, Sergeant Boffin was sent to the Shire, where he tried to police the hobbit population and got his helmet smashed in. Day the Eleventh finds 38 contestants remaining: Farmer Giles of Ham Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham) Gram, his dog The Giant from the Wild Hills King Augustus Bonifacious Chrysophylax Dives The Miller The Parson Sunny Sam (Fabricius Cunctator) The Blacksmith Smith of Wooton Major/Leaf By Niggle Master Cook Rider Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie Smith of Wooton Major Nell Queen of Faerie Niggle Mr. Parish The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (Poems) Goldberry Badger Old Man Willow The Barrow-wight Goodman Maggott Princess Mee Fíriel The Mewlips Troll Roverandom Roverandom The Wizard Artaxerxes The Little Boy Mew, the Seagull Moon-dog Mer-dog Uin, the Whale Mr. Bliss Girabbit Mr. Day Archie Teddy Bruno Herbert Dorkins Egbert Dorkins |
Because the Man-in-the-Moon was voted out the day before last, the Roverandom Tribe has been fated to a slow and painful starvation. (please see post 75) :p To try our best to delay this horrible death, I say we vote off whoever eats the most in that tribe. And that would be
++Uin, the Whale But then again he could become a potential food source, sooo - - Uin, the Whale and ++The Little Boy For being the least able to provide for his own food. Yes, yes, I know he's Tolkien's son, but sacrifices must be made for the survival of the tribe. |
I've no objection to that. Besides, he's clearly lied to get past the age limit. Conniving wee monkey...
++THE LITTLE BOY |
Good call yesterday, Ang. :)
I'll stick with the selfish ... + + MR PARISH ... for now. |
+ + Mr. Parish
Niggle needs to be the finalist in his category of book(s). |
Quote:
Still, you're right I suppose.... + + The Little Boy |
Jumping backwards a few days to an old tactic of mine- and so as to avoid the bandwaggon paparazzi, I think it is time to restart the anti-Uin campaign.
++ Uin What belongs in the Legendarium, should stay in the Legendarium. |
I'm agreeable on the nattering ninnyhammer with all his nagging of Niggle.
++ Mr. Parish |
End of Day the Eleventh
The eleventh round marked yet another double send off, as two very different characters found themselves in the same boat. Literally.
The Little Boy: 3 votes Mr. Parish: 3 votes Uin: 1 vote And so, Mr. Parish was consigned to a hell dimension where he was forced to fix his own roof every day for the rest of eternity, and the Little Boy was sent to bed without his supper. Day the Twelfth finds 36 remaining contestants: Farmer Giles of Ham Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham) Gram, his dog The Giant from the Wild Hills King Augustus Bonifacious Chrysophylax Dives The Miller The Parson Sunny Sam (Fabricius Cunctator) The Blacksmith Smith of Wooton Major/Leaf By Niggle Master Cook Rider Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie Smith of Wooton Major Nell Queen of Faerie Niggle The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (Poems) Goldberry Badger Old Man Willow The Barrow-wight Goodman Maggott Princess Mee Fíriel The Mewlips Troll Roverandom Roverandom The Wizard Artaxerxes Mew, the Seagull Moon-dog Mer-dog Uin, the Whale Mr. Bliss Girabbit Mr. Day Archie Teddy Bruno Herbert Dorkins Egbert Dorkins |
Let's get this over with quickly.
Diamond's test says that I'm Niggle. Anyone with a grudge against Formendacil is therefore advised to vote for him. ++ Niggle Like so. :p |
++GIRABBIT
This genetically modified monster shall not escape my wrath again... |
There ought to be three nominees.
++Mewlips I've already given my reasons. Evil swamp things. |
+ + The Wizard Artaxerxes
Gandalf lite must go! |
Quote:
++Niggle. ...what? You were kind of rude in the books forum when I first came here. |
++Mewlips
For being generally evil, and as a last ditch effort to start a bandwagon against the Mewlips and save Niggle. |
+ + Mewlips
I bet they caterwaul too, the miserable creatures. |
End of Day the Twelfth
Voting early on the twelfth day was wide spread, then it seemed for a time that Niggle would get the boot for being too much like the Formen man. But two late votes saved the absent minded painter and ousted the dread creatures of the swamp:
The Mewlips: 3 votes Niggle: 2 votes The Wizard Ataxerxes: 1 vote Girabbit: 1 vote And so, the Mewlips' valley was fumigated, decontaminated, detoxified, flooded, and sprayed with industrial strength RAID until the Mewlips were effectly wiped out. *sniff* :( Diamond is sad. I can't help it, that's my favorite Tolkien poem. :p Day the Thirteenth finds 35 contestants remaining: Farmer Giles of Ham Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham) Gram, his dog The Giant from the Wild Hills King Augustus Bonifacious Chrysophylax Dives The Miller The Parson Sunny Sam (Fabricius Cunctator) The Blacksmith Smith of Wooton Major/Leaf By Niggle Master Cook Rider Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie Smith of Wooton Major Nell Queen of Faerie Niggle The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (Poems) Goldberry Badger Old Man Willow The Barrow-wight Goodman Maggott Princess Mee Fíriel Troll Roverandom Roverandom The Wizard Artaxerxes Mew, the Seagull Moon-dog Mer-dog Uin, the Whale Mr. Bliss Girabbit Mr. Day Archie Teddy Bruno Herbert Dorkins Egbert Dorkins |
Nooooo! I will have my revenge!
To everyone who thought the Mewlips were really cool and besides responsible role models: arise! Oaths ye have taken! Let's start getting the cloud-headed goody-goodies. ++SMITH OF WOOTON MAJOR |
Darn! If only I had been around yesterday, I could at least have sent that self-absorbed, muddle-headed incompetent, Niggle, packing along with the sorely lamented Mewlips.
Quote:
+ + SMITH OF WOOTON MAJOR And, should we succeed in this task, may I humbly suggest Niggle for tomorrow? |
Two votes against Smith of Wootton Major!?
As you can see from my avatar, I take this rather personally.... :p .... and will fight tooth and nail for this gentle soul's survival. Besides which, votes for such an innocent soul seem rather (ahem) diabolical to me. ;) TO ME!! TO ME!! ALL YOU GOOD SOULS WHO WOULD SPARE THE LIFE OF THE GOOD SMITH!!!! LET US OUST THE OUSTER OF OUR GOOD SMITH!!! TO ME!! TO ME!! ++ Girabbit Surely a good alternative. Oh, by the way, if the diabolical anti-Smith of Wootton Major contingent succeeds today, I must perforce consider my stint in this game at an end since I identify with the good fellow so closely; I would be symbolically dead, and would thus have to symbolically be dead to this thread. (hee hee it even rhymed) So help save me, please! |
Whoa... *looks at LMP's avatar* *consults book* I never realized before that was Smith of Wooton Major. Where did you get a colored version? The one in my copy is... not colored.
PS - Have you tested this association in my personality test? :D |
