Tolkien Remove The Master

Why The Master should go. . .

When we look upon The Master as a representative for the bourgeoisie who since the fall of Dale has taken controle over it’s people(now in Laketown). What picture do we get of these people? Well. . . .

The bourgeoisie, has in the history of laketown (+ Dale), played a most revolutionary part. The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his "natural superiors", and has left no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous "cash payment". It has drowned out the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervour, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom - Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation.

The bourgeoisie, has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers. The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation into a mere money relation.

Lets restore Laketown (Dale) to it’s former glory, remove The Master.

I am all for saving beorn as he was the best characte rin the hobbit. And now that Bilbo is gone, he is the best cook on the island, they need a break and some good food.

Er, is this day ever going to end?

It would appear that a rather excessive daylight saving adjustment has severly prejudiced the Master's chances.

Typical of the proletarian masses to exploit such circumstances to do away with those who have served them so well in the past.

I AM SOOOOO SORRRY!!!! I had no time to get on the computer until now. I will have Day 14's cast out as soon as I tally the votes. Next time, if no one mind's and I don't seem to have it up by an hour after the nomal time, someon go ahead and take over. And once again, the deciding vote is up to me. Heads, Beorn. Tails, Master.

And the loser is....

Tails. The Master is gone.

Day 14

After a lengthy day of scheming and concipirating, the host finally returned after being "ill" for almost twenty four hours. The Master and Beorn were the ones who were greatly considered. However, everyone (except for a few) wanted the cheap, usless Master gone. "He's lazy and steals everyone else's gold and runs off with it!!!" an outraged Bard yelled. "I say out with him!!" That night, the way the accusations flew, no one was surprised at the end result:

Beorn - 6
The Master - 7
Oin - 1

"Fine!! I'm leaving!! You backstabbing scumbags!!!" With that, the others bellowed in rage and jumped on the Master. They tied his hands and feet together, blinded him and brought him to the other side of the island where they threw him off a cliff, where there were sharp, pointy rocks at the bottom.

Contestants voted out:
Bofur
Ori
Durin (The first King Under the Mountain)
Nori
Fundin
Gandalf
Nain (father of Dain)
Bungo Bagins
Chief of Guards
Thorin
Bilbo
Golfimbul
Carc
Gollum
The Master

The remaining contestants:

Dwarves
Balin
Bifur
Bombur
Dain
Dori
Dwalin
Fili
Gloin
Kili
Oin
Thrain (father of Thorin)
Thror (grandsire of Thorin)

Men/Elves
Bard
Beorn
Elrond
Galion (Elvenking's Butler)
Elvenking
Girion

Bad Guys
Azog
Bert
Bolg
Great Goblin
Chief Warg
Smaug
William
Tom

Others
Eagle Lord
Roac
Necromancer
Belladonna Took
Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor)
Old Took

After a two day period (terribly sorry!! ) Day 15 starts. VOTE!!!
