Can't we put forward a compromise candidate, ie Pippin, tomorrow?

PS. I will lose respect for a lot of people if Lobelia is evicted tonight.

++Lobelia.

You people are so backwards and astonishingly warped it's revolting! Grishnakh? The most intelligent player left? Loss of respect if Lobelia is gotten rid of? What is up with this liking of either wicked people, or just plain greedy/pointless people?

Come on, folks. You've got to be better than all that.

That's what makes it fun? What kind of thread would this be if we all went and got rid of the bad guys and said gushed over the goodie-tooshoers.

All I know is if I had someone I would NOT want to play in a game of chess, it would be Grishnakh. The orc's a genius.

I'd still say that you're overrating his intelligence. Relative to what we see of Orcs, it's high, but he was outwitted by Pippin, after all, the fool of a Took himself...and wouldn't last a second with Galadriel...

That's only because of his upbringing. Now given the proper set of circumstances and education in his youth, I feel that Grishnakh would have been counted among the wise. But that's the most tragic part of the orc hierarchy, they denied education to all but the most elite upper echilon. It's simply heartbreaking to think of what he could have become had he not been oppressed.

Grishnakh is the most elite upper echelon, a messenger from Lugburz who knows about the Ring, obviously of importance. But he's still tricked by a pygmy with a British public school accent and a nice smile...
