LOTR Survivor

[Anguirel]

What??

Don't you touch Eomer. Faramir may be me, but Eomer is much, much better than me...he's Gawain, he's young Beowulf, he's a berserker! Nobody is going to throw him out on my watch. "Ride to ruin and the world's ending!" Besides, with Celeborn gone Galadriel has shown her true feelings towards him, and the duels between him and Gimli are hilarious to watch...

I will throw myself behind the Boromir campaign. Face it, chaps, Boromir is basically a big, bluff, sporty lout. The only thing that makes him interesting is his exposure to the Ring, causing lots of cool moral ambiguity, and his above average Orc-hacking skills; but the Ringbearers are all gone and there's only one Orc left on the island. Now he'll just stand around kicking a football or repeating hackneyed repuplican cant copied from his father. No, better to let him go home.

Folwren says "Eomer was not wronged in the movie; Faramir had his character stolen from him."

Faramir was a bit odd in one scene, and his motives were explained in the Extended Edition. Eomer was practically cut from the films, and lost all his best lines and moments in the awful rejigging of the Pelennor Fields...

[Lalaith]

Eomer is absolutely my favourite boy and I will ally myself with you once again, Anguirel, to defend him.
I would personally have prefered to lose Faramir or Hama (who while a decent sort, I don't think has really made his mark on the island). Boromir has a certain cute, misguided, hero-with-a-fatal-flaw charm.

But what the hell, to save lovely Eomer I will sacrifice anyone (oh, except the girls, of course).

Sorry Sauce but Faramir has always been a favourite and nothing you or Formendacil say is going to change that. Also, your promise to become pro-Elf is redundant as Folwren has already said that none of the people who voted off the Elves in previous rounds will do so again.

++BOROMIR

He needs to be kicked off.

The key word here is survivor, nothing complicated about that...
OR IS THERE?

++Boromir for falling. And not dying when he gets shot. And introducing, Spaghetti Monster forbid, magic to LotR... staying afloat down waterfalls? Bah! Reeks of dark magic. And also for the continuous, unrelenting horn jokes.

[Boromir88]

Ahhh, Boromir bandwagon!!! Is it because he's a wolf?

Although, the main reason for keeping Boromir around was because he created a lot of tension. But with Aragorn, Frodo, Gandalf, and Elrond gone, he has no one left to fight and argue with. Plus his constant winning of the Challenges got real old, and as soon as he lost the Limbo to Gloin it was all over.

++Boromir

[Firefoot]

++TREEBEARD

No bandwagoning for me today. Come on, people, vote out Treebeard. I'm getting tired of seeing him around.

Now that was actually a rather interesting contest, because it came down to a fight between Gloin and Lobelia, and I do not think they could have even lowered the bar any more, unfortunately, when the handle of Lobelia' s umbrella got caught on the bar, the game was over.

But having said that, I agree with firefoot, we have had that old slow ent slowing us down for quite some time, and he was the worst one in the Limbo contest

You know, Saucepan Man, I've put up with a lot in this game from you, but I don't appreciate having my sworn honor thus attacked. I don't lie very often, and certainly not when I promise people something.

The hazards of supporting a proven cheat and generally disreputable sort.

How amusing that Boro voted for himself.

I wonder, have people started giving thought to the end-game yet? Boro has confirmed that, when we get to the final three, we will be voting for a winner. The sensible course will be to work towards eliminating any serious competition for your preferred winner (ie the popular ones).

That's as maybe, but this is a LotR Reality Show in the Mirth forum, not a "Who's your favourite ..." thread in N&N. That concept appears to have been lost on one or two here.

Interesting how Faramir appears to have become the stumbling block in my efforts to remove the dull but worthy Survivors from the Island. Sam, Aragorn and Frodo were push-overs, yet the Duplicitous Defender of Osgiliath seems to have well and truly entrenched himself.

Oh well. No matter. There are worse choices than Boromir. I would be happy to see him go to save Eomer.
