In the meantime, what do you think about my light theory?

I certainly hope not. Anyway, Mablung's been evicted.

Mablung-5
Maedhros-4

I take this opportunity to call a break until such time as I have regular Internet access...sorry. If it's too long, I'll seek another mod.

Until Ang gets a good connection, why don't we share our opinions on how the Sil. Survivor has done so far?

Anguirel's write-ups and "alternative universe" timeline are excellent reads. I'm also very amused at such a highly biased Moderator. The temptation to jump in and simply open fire on his favourite characters, JUST BECAUSE, is excruciating.

On the other hand, I am not a fan of the multiple deaths in a day, when people other then the voted-for are killed off as well. True, I can see the reasoning within the system that Anguirel has built, but I don't have to like it.

By the way, does anyone have dibs on hosting the next Survivor? Because I'd love to have a crack at it if no one does.

though i've been a bit rapped up in werewolf XIII, i enjoyed reading throught the write-ups. excellent job, ang! i liked pretty much everything. especailly ridding the world of the three dreaded c's. congrats go out to all who voted, argued, reasoned, and wheedled for their eviction. well done, my comrades!

i didn't really mind the unvoted for deaths. (except eonwe's, that is. but i can't help that, can i?

) they helped move teh storying in the clearly biased direction ang wanted. very audacious of you, by the way.

all in all, i loved it. and hopefully will rejoin after ww is over.

i would love it if you hosted the next survivor, formendacil! any ideas on themes and such?

Wiping out swathes of characters also helps speed the game up a bit....the dramatis personae is so long that we'd be here til Christmas 2006 if Ang didn't exercise some editorial ruthlessness...although I'm still rather sore about Galadriel, myself....and Hurin....

The multiple deaths seem a bit overdone.

Would the next Survivor be Second Age, Third Age, The Hobbit?
It would be interesting to see how Queen Beruthiel and her cats
(especially the white one) would fare.
