Shame on all you age discriminating wastrels.

Not only are you all ageists...you are inconsistant as all get out too.

I mean, just look at all the -- we have around here.

Hey! Get with the program. Underhand deals and machiavellian changes of votes are part of the scenery on this show.

More votes for The Old Took, please. That way, both the drunken butler and the totally cool troll get to stay another day.

Consistency?

We are consistently doing our best to drive others nuts (that would be me), to further our petty feuds (Anguirel comes to mind...), and to see if Wayne will, in fact, go nuts.

No inconsistency there.

Oh....

You meant voting criteria!

The Old Took is an acceptable eviction candidate, to me. Anything to ensure Galion's survival- not that that won't possibly change tomorrow.

++ The Old Took

See what I mean. Just a few days ago, this gentleman was one of the die-hards for getting rid of the wasted pointy-ear...to the point of simply voting that way as a matter of course. Now he's swung wildly in the other direction.

This is the sort of unsteady characteristic that is potentially so destabilizing that only I am allowed to possess it. Otherwise, there will be no relying on anyone.

That's the Wayne in Chaos Theory!? Well, that's not nearly as interesting as I thought it would be. Oh well.

Here's the cast out post!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 22 was a rather interesting day. Everyone kept changing their minds on who they wanted to vote for. In the end, they decided that to vote of Old Took would be the wisest choice. "He's far to old to be hear!" Belladonna cried. "He was dragged out of Tuckborough from his hearth, where he should be at this present moment, and put on this ridiculous, yet rather fun, show!" "And we must save our fellow troll!!!!" Tom and William cried. That night at voting council:

Smaug - 1
Galion - 4
Old Took - 6
Bert - 3

"Thank you all so kindly for letting me leave," Old Took said with great delight. "Now, I shall return to my home and relax in front of my hearth." And he did just that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
