If I'm not mistaken, the current count is-

Give the Kingship to...
  • Maedhros- 6
  • Fingolfin- 4
  • Curufin- 2
  • Fingon- 1

Get rid of...
  • Osse- 4
  • Doom of Mandos- 3
  • Curufin- 3
  • Elbereth- 1
  • Finarfin- 1
  • Fingolfin- 1

That's not too bad.

As I stated here, Maedhros is without a doubt the best choice for King of the Noldor.

As far as who to vote out, I'd really like to see the Doom of Mandos kicked out, but Osse is better than most of the other choices.

Tomorrow and the next day, be looking for an opportunity to get rid of Aredhel before Maeglin is born.

Why Aredhel and not Eol, you ask?

Because, we need Eol to stay alive long enough to make the sword Anglachel, which will be instrumental in not only killing Glaurung, but is also mentioned in some of Tolkien's writings as being the sword that will, in the Last Battle, deal Melkor his final death blow.

Now, I can't remember right off hand when Anglachel was forged, so if anyone finds evidence that it has already been made then please feel free to vote off Eol instead of Aredhel. But we need to get rid of one of them before Maeglin is born if we want to save Gondolin.
