Then bandwagon with me on the bandwagon that you started!! Get rid of Celeborn!!! He's not getting any smarter and he still says "Tell me where is Gandalf for I much desire to speak with him" which is getting on my nerves. Besides, all he does is sit there and let Galadriel do all the talking, for the both of them.

More defense of Celeborn
 

What more can I say? I just can't vote against Celeborn after that. :D

I personally still think that Goldberry should go, although I haven't decided if I should vote for her yet.

Problem is Anguirel and others did such a good job convincing me not to. So, I'm going to have to go with...

++Frodo

Who's been really depressed and has done nothing since Sam's departure. He really is of no use without Sam.

I find the anti-Celeborn league disgusting at best. And I refuse to cast my lot in with any of you.

That said...
++Aragorn

++celborn he sholdent stay in this game a nother day.

++Gollum

Am I the only one who finds him creepy?

Actually Samwise wasn't a fake at all. that was all just made up to get rid of the insufferable little goody two shoes. :p :D

And without Sam, Frodo is hopeless. Just hopeless. There's just no point in keeping him around.

++FRODO BAGGINS

WHY WON'T YOU GET RID OF CELEBORN!?!?!? He's USELESS!!! If no one else hops on the bandwagon, I'm going to give up...for the time being. ;)

--Bilbo


and...

++Frodo

yay Frodo Bandwagon!

++Sam

He borrowed by spices, and never returned them!

Hate to break it to ya Perky, but Sam's gone already.

:o

He took my spices to the grave!?! There must be RETRIBUTION!!!!


++Celeborn


If he won't give up his spices, no one can have it!

++Bilbo

Nassy thief, we hates him. He stole our fissh, preciouss, that was our food rations for the day, and cooked them for himsself, nassty hobbit.

Noo! The scum won't let go of Celeborn!

I'll wait to see how things progress, but I'll definitely vote for one of those confounded Hobbits, and probably for Bilbo or Frodo.

They were slick practitioners and managed to censor the histories, but the Baggins Crowd was in fact the most demoniac gang in Middle-earth. They murdered Celebrian to encourage Elrond to pay collection money on time. They harassed endangered species of reptile. They stole left, right and centre, and were never punished due to bribes to King Elessar....

I would still really like to see the back of Grima, but for today I'll go along with Alcarillo's ++Gollum

I know he's useful - a good fisherman and seems to know his way around - but I just don't trust him, he keeps sneaking off and talking to himself, most unsettling. And he looks at people in a funny way.

I think celeborn should be getting all the votes.

Vote for celeborn its the best choich you can make.

Best choich, certainly. Choich is undoubtedly Orcish for "unbelievable piece of stupidity."

Oh, and I say we should hang Baggins the younger.

If you like Frodo, don't let him be separated from Sam.

If you don't like him, turf him off and be rid of half of the hated Baggins mafia!

++FRODO "NINE LIGHT FINGERS" BAGGINS

But why? What has Celeborn done that would make any of you vote for him? If you want to get rid of the useless get rid of the hobbits.

If we are talking useless than I think Celeborn fits the bill. What has he actually done other than marry Galadriel? Now I would posit that that little fiend has simply ridden the proverbial coat-tails of Galadriel to get him through life. Galadriel still would be great without him but he would wither and die without her. I would say that Celeborn is analogous to a leech in this instance. Blood sucking little creature that hasn't done anything of actual value for Middle-earth and with his excessive vanity it's lucky that Galadriel gets to use her mirror at all, what with him looking in it constantly making sure every strand of hair is perfectly in order.

I've already voted today and my vote went with Bilbo. I should have waited, but perhaps it's better that I didn't. Bilbo should definitely go instead of Frodo, but Celeborn should go before Bilbo.

Understand, I have nothing particularly against Celeborn, I just like Hobbits better than elves, and the more Hobbits around the better. But Bilbo is a grump, so I'd like to get him rid of before Frodo. He didn't like adventures before he'd gone on the one with the Dwarves and Gandalf and had to be fairly dragged in. Whereas Frodo spend all of his childhood wanting to do something fun. He even had the guts to go borrow mushrooms from Maggot, whereas Bilbo would have likely fallen on the edge of his land at the very first sound of one of the dogs howling, shouting 'struck by lightning! Struck by lightning!' *snorts in disgust*

Besides that, unless all of you people who voted for Sam are frauds and liars, then you want to keep Frodo around because you want to see how he does without Sam, remember? Saucey?

Anyhow, I think Celeborn should go becaues he's pretty much a useless character. He neither helps or hinders. He adds no excitement...no spark. And Anguirel, although I'm sorry to be getting rid of the one you seem to like so much, I can't say I'm very much pressed to not vote for Celeborn for your sake, seeing as you've now voted for Frodo.

-- Folwren

Arrrrrgh!

What has he done other than marry Galadriel? Rule various places and retake Dol Guldur, in pragmatic terms...

He would wither and die without Galadriel, would he? An absurd statement. He voluntarily separates from Galadriel on two major documented occasions-after being deposed from Ost-in-Edhil, and after Galadriel leaves from the Grey Havens.

On the latter occasion he hangs around for thousands of years as Lord of Rivendell, showing no apparent need to follow his wife in a hurry.

Whereas Galadriel, who wishes to return to the West after the War of Wrath, stays in Middle-earth because she can't bear to be parted from him...

Little leech? Rather larger (and more independent, and less leechlike) than Sam Halfwit, who actually takes over Frodo's house...

Excessive vanity? You have no source for that except your own bitterness. The hairwashing joke has been overused with Legolas, and wasn't very funny to start with.

And I'm voting for Frodo because I think he'll be happier outside, and I like the old rogue Bilbo's character up to point. Though the Baggins hoodlums must still be stopped.

++Frodo. Not that I have anything against him.

I agree that he would be happier with Sam. Besides, with votes standing at Celeborn 4, Frodo 4, Bilbo and Gollum 2, and Goldberry and Aragorn 1, he's the only other candidate for whom I can vote to save Celeborn.

Nothing personal (apart from all that irritating staring into space) .... but I am not giving up on the prettyboy trophy husband....

++Frodo

Oo Anguriel you beat me to my praise of Celebron. He is from from a leech of Galadriel.

++Frodo the Samless for reasons already outlined by others. Plus he was too close to Sam and will undoubtedly now be plotting my downfall.

For voting out the faithful Hobbit and the one who saved Middle Earth, I will have RETRIBUTION!!! My retribution will be swift and you wisl all in the end come to hate what you have done to the poor Hobbits. I SHALL HAVE RETRIBUTION!!!!!

Victory of the Galadrim
 

Oh yes?

Well, if you gun for Celeborn again...it'll get worse. The Elves of Lorien will not yield in their defence of their Lord!

Ain't that right, my fellow Marchwardens Kitanna and Celuien, and, naturally, the Lady of the Wood herself, Mithalwen the Elf-fancier?

We will hold true in the defence of interesting characterisation and/or pretty silver hair...

I'll hunt you all one by one and get rid of your favorites. I WILL have my retribution!!!!!

Retribution. What a lovely word, Glirdan.

We'll be meeting again, TGWBS. I think.

Boromir, when does this day end and we begin to vote for new people to send off? It appears that my lovely, younger Baggins is being beaten. Poor fellow. It might be better for him to go home after all, though it's down right sad and absolute cruelty.

-- Folwren

Yellow crossed garters
 

I think this is the phrase you are looking for...

"I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you!"

Malvolio, Twelfth Night

++ Frodo

Celeborn may be stoned all the time but Frodo without Sam to pamper him is absolutely useless. The excuses of shoulder pain have ground my nerves to pulp, I can stand it no longer.

Isn't Folwren?? Glad you think so. As for when today ends, it ends at 5:00pm Est. time. So in a little while. Lets be patient, for the time being.......

<-- Sign of the Galadhrim
 

'Deed it is. The Galadhrim stand united behind their Lord! All those who oppose him, beware our wrath.

Indeed and I will vote for pretty much anyone else before I vote for Celeborn, with the exception of Galadriel. The Lord Celeborn will be triumphant.

I refuse to ally myself to anybody. I shall simply do my utmost to remove the most idiots Islanders.

Folwren, try as you might, you will not beat Bilbo. We have "the greatest little hobbit of them all" on our side, after all.

Folwern will beat bilbo I will vote for him tomorrow.

Alright, voting's off. It looks pretty close, but I think Frodo may be going next. We'll see in a bit.

I had written up a lengthy post explaining what is going on and what needs to be done but when I clicked submit the site went down so I will surmise what I said now.

Basically I see an alliance of pointy eared freaks forming. Elves and elf lovers agenda is becoming clear--"eliminate all others". Essentially they want genocide of all but themselves.

Now their current target appears to be hobbits. They eliminate the greatest of all hobbits and now want to eliminate his cohort. Their reasoning for eliminating Sam was flimsy at best and now they are showing their hypocrisy by choosing Frodo. They say that they want to do away with Sam because all he's good for is taking care of Frodo and it would be interesting to see how Frodo handles himself without Sam. So Sam is voted off. Now they are saying that Frodo should go because he useless without Sam--a point I won't argue against--but it does illustrate how hypocritical their reasoning is.

I ask who will be going next? Dwarves? Men? Istari? Will it ever stop until they have their own world? We must stop this madness and strike back. So I implore all those who wish to see a diverse Middle-earth tribe to help me in this cause. We need to strike at the heart of these fans of those who wear tights. Their apparent favorite is Celeborn our little trophy husband, who as I said early really has never done anything significant in the history of Middle-earth. So let's strike them to their core by voting him off and regaining some balance.

Votes are...

Frodo- 9
Celeborn- 4
Bilbo- 2
Gollum- 2
Goldberry- 1
Aragorn- 1

Frodo's kicked off too, the tribe's spoken. He never was much use, and only became more useless once Sam was gone.

I said 5 at the beginning of the thread. But, it's difficult for me to get on the comp by 5, so I may extend it to 5:30. This again is Eastern Standard time. Which the Time the downs is set up for (GMT) should be 9:30 pm. You can figure out what time it is for you from there.

Right now it's kind of ended more sporadically because I'm unable to get on at 4 sometimes depending upon the rush hour traffic. So, I've been thinking about extending it, and I think I will to 5:30 Eastern Standard time, or 9:30 on the barrowdowns.
