(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....

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

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?

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.

Wow, that was quite a long shot. You must have got good odds.

Hmm, perhaps I should withdraw from the voting and run a book on the remaining contestants. Here's my thoughts:

Dwarves/Elves
Galadriel: 2-1 joint favourite
Glorfindel: 2-1 joint favourite
Gimli: 20-1
Gloin: 50 - 1

Hobbits/Ent
Quickbeam: 200 - 1
Merry: 16 - 1
Pippin: 24 - 1

Men/rohan lady
Eomer: 8 - 1
Eowyn: 3-1
Hama: 25 - 1

That seems the most likely to me with the kind of mentality we have round here at the moment.

If you're going to brag about being the fastest thing in Middle Earth you should at least be able to back it up by beating Saruman to Orthanc.
