But I can't vote with you, Ang. I'd have to award myself the apple!

Actually, I am content with the removal of Curufin - for the time being. But I do feel that the "short-term" solution is the better one here. Androg was responsible for more petty-dwarf deaths than anyone else I can think of. Remove him and we give them a better chance of finding suitable - er - partners (wherever they may be). Besides, if I vote for Androg, we may achieve a tie, which (assuming morm's crazy theory works) is best for them all round.

++Androg

[Thinlómien]

Great! One vote more to Androg!

++Androg

For the simpel reason that I like Tilion, but I do think that mormegil's plan is fantastic.

You forget Hurin my dear Saucie...one of my favorites and the actual extinguisher of the Petty-dwarf race so your logic is flawed in this as I see it.

A straightforward proclamation of anti-dwarfism. Notice how Androg refers to himself in the third person, a characteristic usually found in psychos.

He shows an apalling willingness to slaughter dwarves in their own home.

Androg has already slain one dwarf, let it not go any further!

I am all for a double eviction, and hopefully winning this challenge in any way possible.

RESULTS OF DAY EIGHT (M-e)

One evening, the Gaurwaith were on one of their usual killing sprees. In the darkness something short and dark hurtled past them, and Androg drew back the string of his longbow, preparing to shoot it...

Meanwhile, in the sky, Tilion could restrain his longing for Arien no longer! As she set, he charged after her; but his craft span out of control, and he hurtled ever downwards...

And crashed to earth right on top of the Gaurwaith, killing all of them except Turin, who with his usual good luck was standing about a yard out of harm's way. The Moon was shattered into pieces, and Tilion cast, disgraced, into the deeps of the Void, where Manwe awaited him...

As for Androg, he was caught at the very centre, and his body was pulverised.

RESULTS OF THE CHALLENGE

Khim, thanking Mahal for his narrow escape, ran to his father's side. Ibun was also present. The three plotted to fall on the last bandit who had escaped, the man with the black sword, and steal all his gold. So they crept up behind him, clubs and nets at the ready.

A strange new feeling was coming over them. With the moonlight gone, repressed emotions rose to the surface as they advanced. For Petty-Dwarves, it would become apparent, were in fact fast-breeding hermaphrodites when given the right conditions. So it was that by the time they reached Turin, they were an army three hundred strong.

Unfortunately, armies three hundred strong were exactly what Turin specialied in mincing. He whirled round to face his stalkers, and exterminated them all except Mim, whom he interrogated, and forced to lead him to the Petty-Dwarven dwelling...

Challenge the ninth-LOVE TETRAHEDRONS. Anticipating Turin's arrival in Nargothrond, make the romantic situation caused by him as convoluted as possible.

Voting will close at 7:30am GMT tomorrow.

[Celuien]

A difficult challenge.

Gwindor has to stay to keep the Turin-Finduilas-Gwindor portion of the situation going. An obvious choice would be to vote off Orodreth to make Finduilas Queen of Nargothrond. As queen, she's bound to draw more suitors. Voting of the Curse of Morgoth is another obvious choice since that option takes some of the gloominess off Turin.
