Well I voted for Osse for eviction yesterday and I'll do it again today, anyone who wants my reasons just needs to scroll back.
++OSSE

As for high king...I don't know. Fingolfin challenging Morgoth to single combat was pretty cool you know... that's what I call leading from the front. But I don't want to cross swords with AngMod so early in the game....
Turgon however is horrible. I've always loathed him for what he did to Hurin (ok, will in the future do to Hurin.) Maedros is someone I have a soft spot for, but he has too many issues. The rest of the brothers, while undoubtedly fascinating, would lose their all anti-hero appeal once they became part of the ruling establishment, so I would argue strongly for them to remain glamorously dispossessed.
But what of Fingolfin's son Fingon. What a friend that elf was. And a rift-healer.
So I say skip a generation and go for
++FINGON for king.
