Fine, time to get rid of Quickbeam.

++Quickbeam

Let's get rid of him for Perky's sake.

Gil-Galad · 10-05-2005, 04:12 PM

aye for Perky

++Quickbeam the Troll

Firefoot · 10-05-2005, 04:16 PM

++Quickbeam the troll

Because... dare I say it? ... I rather like Eomer...

But if that's who it's necessary to vote off today, I'll switch. But Quickbeam and Eomer... the two really just can't compare.

wilwarin538 · 10-05-2005, 04:31 PM

For Perky!!!!

++Quickbeam

Lalaith · 10-05-2005, 04:31 PM

++QUICKBEAM

(although I am an election whore today, I'll switch to anyone, within reason, while Eomer is in danger...)

Mormegil, see me after school for a quick precis of how Saucepanman, having watched 80s flicks like Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club and Some Kind of Wonderful and so on, as a boy, is twisting this inside info on bizarre American high school tribalism with his cunning lawyer tricks to play on inferiority complexes across the Atlantic.

Don't let SpM win with his misleading "down with the kids" propaganda....Eomer is not Emilio Estevez, the jock a-hole, he is Judd Nelson, he is whatever the current righteous teen misunderstood idol is, lets not forget his senile fool of an uncle banished him, unfairly....

The Perky Ent · 10-05-2005, 04:43 PM

RALLY TO ME!!!! TO ME!!!!

++Quickbeam!

The 1,000 Reader · 10-05-2005, 04:46 PM

I have no idea what that was, so I'm voting for Eomer.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-05-2005, 04:48 PM

++Quickbeam

You get to show that you're a free thinking spirit, rather than bending to mob rule.

OK. Eomer is the arrogant and scheming Knight with the wavy blonde hair who tries to steal the beautiful maiden away from the wronged green-skinned misfit.

Actually, it seems the pretty boy horse king has cornered the market in lawyers. Seemingly the second rate ones who couldn't even defend a noble and worthy character like Faramir.

What for? To help you vote off the last of your race? Really, what is the world coming to?

++EOMER

By the way, Boro, apparently the announcer's not supposed to be biased.

No, he's not playing on an inferiority complex because I have none. However there is a real climate in the High School over here like that. I did all I could to annoy those who found themselves superior to me.

DOWN WITH EOMER!

Switch your vote back or face my further tauntings.

Oath breaker? Coming from you, Morm, that's rather weak, considering you break from the group at the most dire part in the entire game.

Ah, keep quiet.

I don't understand half of the insults being thrown back and forth concerning Eomer. It probably doesn't help that I never went to school, nor watched any of these alleged "flicks".

My opinion of Eomer is of a big brother under a lot of stress, but who holds up so well that it takes a threat to himself and his sister before he loses his temper. He uses his head, you know? And that's needed around here.

See, you fools, without any true villains on the island you all have lost the necessary motivation to continue! Even our biased announcer has no real idea who to vote for! Perky has betrayed his fellow Ent! You have doomed yourselves. May the grace of the Valar save you.

In case you already didn't know, Grishnakh was basically the guy I was pulling for to win the whole thing, so it's hard not to be biased in that situation.

I guess I'll have to choose a new guy.

I'll go back with...

++Quickbeam

But mark my words...Eomer will die...:cough:...pay.

Well, I'll stick to my word, but you'd better keep yours and help us be rid of that nasty bugger...

++Quickbeam

He Who Would Be Hasty

Anguirel · 10-06-2005, 12:17 AM

I can see Quickbeam will wall anyway, so I'm going to vote for a character I actually dislike unless Eomer is seriously threatened...

++GLOIN

I really can't believe this geriatric snob is still here.

To all you fools who say the departure of Grishnakh ends conflict...nonsense. Conflict between supposedly "good" characters is more morally ambiguous and fun.

Examples:

Will Gimli overcome the urge to take an axe to Quickbeam?

Will Eomer or Gimli win Galadriel's heart? Who will prevail in their duels?

Will Glorfindel do an Aegnor and carry off Eowyn? How will Eomer and Hama react?

Will Quickbeam continue to ravage the island with palm tree huorns to revenge Treebeard?

Will Merry and Pippin form a sworn hobbit assassin's guild and slay Gloin for impugning their kinsman Bilbo's honour with slander about groceries?

And so on. Now say you'd think this was boring on TV.

The Perky Ent · 10-06-2005, 12:40 AM

At the very last people, are we going to do some kind of thing where all the people who were voted off come back? If we are, I think we should save Eomer, just so we can crush his hopes so close to the finish line when all the islanders vote agaisnt him!

Koneko · 10-06-2005, 02:27 AM

Fair 'nuff, Morm.
But my point is that Eomer is being miscast and traduced by SpM. Think on it.

Quote:

says SpM.
So why not back Eomer, then?

Quote:

He had rebelled against my commands, and threatened death to Grima in my hall.

Eomer is absolutely not the have-it-all corn-fed musclehead jock.
He's a firebrand, a rebel with a righteous cause, the ultimate misunderstood angry young man.
