Amen to that. I don't care if Curufin would have made a new set of Silmarils, he is still a twisted monster who, if I am not mistaken, tried to kill Luthien, and in an underhanded manner at that.

Hop on the bandwagon downers, or else Morgoth will place a curse on you.

Send off Curufin=one pure evil snob less. Send off someone else= Ang ranting about how "great and wonderful" Curufin is.

Vote for Curufin!

In order to be a successful outlaw leader, he needs to have less competition for the positionm, I say we vote off one of their leaders,

Oh, guess what I'm going to vote

If a villain like Curufin is removed, the outlaws will look up to Turin more and he will be the father figure of all thiefs, murderers and bandits in ME. That sounds terrific, doesn't it? People who thought of him as nothing else than a faint copy of the worst scoundrel ever (you know who) will come and join the glorious Turin King of Thiefs, Turin the Bloody, Turin the Cruel. What a reputation!

Besides, as soon as he comes near an innocent, they will give him all he wants. He won't have to kill poor peasants or slay villagers, the rumour will do the work. To remove the only threat to this greatness, a notorious villain who's been defended this far by his qualities as badguy, is the inly possible choice. Therefor:

++Curufin

Anguirel · 10-28-2005, 09:07 AM

Hmmm. Well, at least you're all giving Curufin his due. And you're taking him down with my reasoning, which I find amusing...

I would suggest an alternative, though, ++FORWEG-the Narn in Unfinished Tales portrays him as a thoroughly bad lot, a deserter, coward, and rapist, and as leader of the Gaurwaith, his removal will have far more actual effect on Turin's career...Curufin may be notorious, but he's also completely outside Turin's sphere of influence.

Curufin-4
Androg-1
Forweg-1

Voting will close at 7:30 pm...

Well, it seems that there's a bit of Margaret Thatcher in Melian.
If she can only weaken Morgoth's Orc unions she could rule
all of Beleriand!!!

As for this challenge:

+ + Curufin

Anguirel · 10-28-2005, 11:24 AM

Oh dear, oh dear. An hour and six minutes to go, and Curufin seems doomed...ah well. 'Twas good while it lasted. Vote Forweg if you have pity!

I've been away all day so I've missed out all the bandwaggoning fun. I think it's best I stay out of this vendetta, as my vote will make no difference anyway. I'll abstain again today. I hope we can all be cheerful again tomorrow. Especially poor Ang.
