Hehehehe...

Might help to remember that this IS "Middle-Earth Mirth", where crazy is the law, and the more wacky, far-out, and totally nonsensical you can be, while still maintaining some tangible links to Middle-Earth, is the best way to go.

For example, if I had been trying to get my favourite characters (in a serious not a mirthy way) to win, Gandalf, Bilbo, Aragorn, and Elrond, and yes, even Faramir, would have been fought FOR, rather than championing the unlikely Grishnakh.

For what it's worth, it's a great deal more fun to roam around this game taking potshots at the favourite of the day (which has been Eomer for the last few days) than trying to defend them. The thing about attacking is that you get to make hilarious, outrageous charges, taking everything out of context and shredding a perfectly legit reputation. (Or vice versa in the case of the Baddies. )

When defending, you get all the boring tasks, like stating why so and so was so nice- basically quoting the book, and leaving it at that.

And on that note....

Eomer is a name-caller. Look at his cavalier treatment of Aragorn when he enters Rohan! "Wingfoot I name you" he says. Wingfoot, as any discerning person can tell, is a most girly name, and quite unsuited to the future King of Gondor and Arnor, and should properly have been applied to Legolas (there! Eomer is also blind). What's more, it's clearly a veiled reference to the Greek god Hermes, and that's most insulting! How would YOU like to be compared with a naked guy in sandals?

Dirty job, but somebody has to do it. Besides, defence requires more skill and is more satisfying, as any of the gallant few who defended Celeborn for five days, taking down eight rivals, will testify...

You do realise that we, the Union of Celeborn haters, did not care that quite a few of those people got voted out?? They might have counted for you, but to us, the more that went, the easier it was to get rid of Celeborn because it gave us more time to recruit people to help us or to let people bandwagon with us.

++Eomer

I believe that makes it...

Eomer- 8
Hama- 7

Eomer's time was coming, everyone was getting fed up with his domineering and saying "I'm your King." But as Gimli would say..."Just because some rotted old man, on his deathbed threw a sword at you is no way to base your government. Supreme sovereignty lies with the people." And so ended Eomer's time on the Island.

Elves/Dwarves
Galadriel
Glorfindel
Gloin
Gimli

Hobbits
Merry
Pippin

Men/Rohan Lady
Eowyn
Hama

[Glirdan]

Curses!!! He's gone!!! I won't vote for Hama today, I will vote for

++Gloin

The dwarf is to old for this kind of thing.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

and vote Eowyn of the island...

Just look at the way she treated poor Grima! if she would have just been a little nicer too him, a lot of suffering could have been averted !

++Eowyn

[mormegil]

If we are to thin out dwarves I say we let the dwarf who humilated his race by letting 'Gorn toss him be out

++Gimli

Plus there are too many i's in his name.

[Boromir88]

I think we should take down a dwarf, but ack! Which one! They both need to go.

[Glirdan]

I'm quite fine with Firefoot's reasoning for getting rid of Gimli but I'm not thrilled with yours morm. How could you base your reasoning on the movies? Gloin is to old for this and once again, it's LOTR Survivor, not The Hobbit Survivor.

[Firefoot]

++Gimli

I mean, what did he really do? He joined the Fellowship, then egged Gandalf into Moria where Gandalf was killed - I mean, he's a Dwarf, how much do you want to bet he didn't know there was a balrog there? Then he goes about making audacious not to mention selfish requests from Galadriel. He doesn't really do anything else except insult Eomer until they get to Helm's Deep where he kills forty-something Orcs - so what? Besides, why did he kill the Orcs? Did he ever considered that there might be hope of redemption? Noo. Then he basically does a whole lot of nothing (unless you're going by the movie - then, not only does he do nothing but is annoying doing it).

Really, he's just a useless character. Why on earth is he in the book anyway? And what's he still doing camping out on this island?
