Survivor: The Second Age - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Formendacil · 03-20-2006, 09:08 PM

If the voters thought to prolong the proceedings by avoiding the vote on Day Eighteen, they were wrong. With relentless, inexorable force, the Moderator prepared for another day's eviction. The voting, such as it was, fell as follows:

Treebeard: I
Elros Tar-Minyatur: I

Círdan: II

Like the gentleman he was, Círdan departed from the game without a fuss...

HOUSEKEEPING:

In case no one's noticed, I didn't analyse the votes publicly. All of them were valid, in any case.

Those remaining:

Tribe of the Line of Lúthien:
Anárion
Elros Tar-Minyatur
Tar-Míriel

Tribe of the "Endorians":
Celeborn
Celebrían
Narvi
Fangorn

Tribe of the Rest:
The Witch-king
Celebrimbor
Galadriel

...who are now being shuffled into two remaining tribes:

Tribe of Those Born Immortal:
Celeborn
Galadriel
Celebrían
Celebrimbor
Fangorn

Tribe of Those Born Mortal:
Elros Tar-Minyatur
Tar-Míriel
Anárion
The Witch-king
Narvi

Day 19 begins now. Vote away!

Diamond18 · 03-20-2006, 09:12 PM

I think the vote is suffering from "Werewolf Syndrome", Form. Everyone's been so wrapped up in the two WW games we've been a little distracted from Survivor.

+ + Fangorn

Frankly, I'm too lazy at the moment to build a case against anyone else.

So, as my reasons from the last two times still apply, I'm voting Treebeard again.

Sad, but probably true...

Still, it could make for some interesting evictions, with the big voting blocks all busy...

Gil-Galad · 03-20-2006, 11:25 PM

++Celebrían

A.K.A.

Little Miss weakling! honestly? would you run away if a couple orcs that were picnicing nearby and saw a elf girl wandering the mountain-tops and decided to invite you in a ruffish-eat-your-had-way?

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-21-2006, 09:24 AM

+ + Celebrimbor

Stop the Ring madness!

Lalaith · 03-21-2006, 09:50 AM

++Fangorn

For alienating the ent-wives and thus dooming his own species.

Celuien · 03-21-2006, 07:13 PM

I don't see Eomer here. Here's my chance, though I'll probably pay for it later.

++FANGORN

Now, there's a difference between not being hasty and being painfully, terribly slow. Fangorn falls on the painfully slow end of the spectrum. Despite the attacks on the forest by Saruman and his creatures, he never would have done a thing about it if not for Merry and Pippin's arrival. Ostensibly, his job was to guard the forest from non-plant life. But it was only the persuasion of the definitely non-plant Hobbits that finally got him to do his job. What kind of steward is that? Yavanna would be very disappointed, I think.

Oh, and I can't support a Fan of the Gorn. I stand with Kirk.

Firefoot · 03-20-2006, 09:19 PM

++Treebeard

For being annoyingly slow and boring. It's a wonder the Ents get anything done at all with someone like him for a leader. Sure they may have all the time in the world, but most people don't. Besides, the Entwives must have left for a reason, probably because they got so bored with their dull husbands. And if the Entwives couldn't even stand them...

He just doesn't seem to do much ever. Sure, he has all the time in the world, but so do Elves, and you don't see them just wasting their lives away.

Formendacil · 03-22-2006, 10:54 PM

Prolonged due to the 'Downs being down, Day nineteen was nonetheless far from being near to winning "Longest Day Ever" of Survivor: The Second Age. The voting, such as it was, fell as follows:

Celebrimbor: I

Celebrían: II

Fangorn (Treebeard): IIIII

Much like his speech, the voters thought that Fangorn had gone on far too long...

HOUSEKEEPING:

In case no one's noticed, I didn't analyse the votes publicly. All of them were valid, in any event.

Those remaining:

Tribe of Those Born Immortal:
Celeborn
Galadriel
Celebrían
Celebrimbor

Tribe of Those Born Mortal:
Elros Tar-Minyatur
Tar-Míriel
Anárion
The Witch-king
Narvi

Day 20 begins now, with the Mortal tribe one up on the Immortal tribe. Vote away!

Lhunardawen · 03-22-2006, 11:02 PM

For the sake of equality, I'll be getting off Celebrian's case for a while. Unless someone joins the bandwagon...

++NARVI

Aside from being the draw-er of those signs on the puzzling door into Moria that wasted a good few hours of the Fellowship's time, who is he?

Firefoot · 03-23-2006, 06:27 AM

++Celeborn

How is this guy still around? As stated earlier in much greater detail, he lives in Galadriel's shadow and is apparently incapable of independent thought. Bad traits in an Elf lord.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-23-2006, 06:43 AM

+ + Narvi

So the best he and his elf buddy could come up
with for a password was "Friend"? Let's face
it, either of these two wouldn't even edge out Hama as
a doorwarden.

Gil-Galad · 03-23-2006, 07:53 AM

aye i would have to go with ++Narvi as well

Lalaith · 03-23-2006, 08:18 AM

++ELROS

Because he's claiming to have been born mortal and he wasn't. He chose mortality...and also what I said earlier about keeping his wife hidden away in the kitchen.

Formendacil · 03-25-2006, 12:02 AM

Day twenty was double the normal day's length, and was a contest mainly between Narvi, Elros, and - yet again - Celeborn. The voting, such as it was, fell as follows:

Celeborn: III

Elros Tar-Minyatur: IIII

Narvi: IIIII I

And so the Dwarves were removed from the running in the championship for Survivor: The Second Age.

HOUSEKEEPING:

Yes, I didn't analyse the votes publicly. Partly, I'm lazy (it's been a long week...) but also in large part because people are mostly voting under the parameters I requested. Since the "rule" was never intended to be more than a prod in that direction, I have dispense with it for the TIME BEING.

Please note that this is subject to change at any time.

Those remaining:

Tribe of Those Born Immortal:
Celeborn
Galadriel
Celebrían
Celebrimbor

Tribe of Those Born Mortal:
Elros Tar-Minyatur
Tar-Míriel
Anárion
The Witch-king

Day 21 begins now, with the tribes neck-and-neck. Vote away!

The 1,000 Reader · 03-25-2006, 12:37 AM

++Celeborn.

At least Elros ruled Numenor. Celeborn was the pet of his wife.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-25-2006, 04:44 AM

I realised that he must go, for the sake of my strategy.

++Celeborn

He was a shadow.

First Age: Stayed in Doriath, did nothing.

Second Age: Roamed around, built a little Elven enclave (big deal, even Legolas's grandpa got to do that), did little else.

Third Age: Stayed in his little Elven enclave until the victory has been won at Mt. Doom. Then he went and 'ruled' Rivendell after the departure of most of the greater ones.

He must go, and go now!

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-25-2006, 06:11 AM

Aye, 'tis time that Celeborn finally packed his bags.

+ + CELEBORN

Reasons? Surely you know my reasons by now. I have enumerated them numerously enough.

In summary, a poor specimen of Elven Lordhood, who relied almost entirely on his wife for his reputation and his power.

Celuien · 03-25-2006, 07:21 AM

Really, when will you learn that votes for Celeborn will not be tolerated?

++Tar-Míriel

What kind of role model princess allows herself to be forced into marriage by and with her scheming, rotten cousin? Should have sent the no-good Pharazôn packing and ruled as Queen, as she could have done. Yes, it might have caused civil war, but wouldn't that be preferable to letting Pharazôn take over and lead Númenor to destruction? At least they might have had a chance under a good Queen.

Formendacil · 03-26-2006, 03:27 PM

Day Twenty-one was a two-person race, between Celeborn the Tall and Tar-Míriel of Númenor. The voting fell as follows:

Tar-Míriel: IIII

Celeborn: IIIII I

It took them Twenty-one days to do it, but in the end, the Anti-Celeborn League of such fame and notoriety in Survivor: The Lord of the Rings again achieved its goal, and Celeborn was cast forth from the game.

Those remaining:

Tribe of Those Born Immortal:
Galadriel
Celebrían
Celebrimbor

Tribe of Those Born Mortal:
Elros Tar-Minyatur
Tar-Míriel
Anárion
The Witch-king

Day 22 begins now, with the Mortal Tribe one up. Vote away!

Oh, and I'm predicting a Galadriel win.

Elu Ancalime · 03-26-2006, 04:30 PM

++Celebr?an

She does nothing important in the Second age, and is not mentioned until she gets mugged; and so Celebrian is learned because of her faliure of the buddy system.

CHRYSLER J PLATFORM

The 1,000 Reader · 03-26-2006, 07:50 PM

++Celebrian.

As mentioned before, Celebrian did nothing in particular, and being attacked isn't something of greatness. The other remaining people have at least accomplished something, from making a kingdom to stealing one.

Eonwe · 03-26-2006, 09:08 PM

++Witch-King

It follows that because Celebrian was not mentioned much in any histories, she is not all that important. I would have to agree with you on that point. She never ruled a realm, never fought in a great battle, never sat with the heads of state deciding great polocies. But I like her anyway. Almost because she didn't do any of that.

The Witch-King on the other hand, if fighting against all that the Second Age stands for: Sam Gamgee and the Gaffer, Bilbo writing verses by the fire, the Mountains, the Rule of Men, the Havens of Elves, the will of Manwe and Eru. I find that dispicable.

Celebrian is a perfect Second Ager: percisely because she is not "important".

Formendacil · 03-28-2006, 11:15 PM

Day Twenty-two was a day of scandal, as the voters fell to petty bickering amongst themselves. It was like a Ring of Power had been dropped into their midst. The final outcome, therefore, was ironically appropriate. The voting fell as follows:

Elros: I

Celebrían: IIII

The Witch-king: IIIII

As gone as he was invisible, the Witch-king was voted off, evening up the tribes...

Those remaining:

Tribe of Those Born Immortal:
Galadriel
Celebrían
Celebrimbor

Tribe of Those Born Mortal:
Elros Tar-Minyatur
Tar-Míriel
Anárion

Day 23 begins, and I'm still predicting a Galadriel win.

And, an interesting tidbit of information for the curious: the genders have been balanced.

Oh, and Diamond: it may be inconsistent of me... but since the Witch-king is definitely considered evil, that was definitely a counted rationale. Just try and support it with examples, to make it perfect.

The 1,000 Reader · 03-29-2006, 12:42 AM

++Celebrian.

Not because I want her gone*, but because she needs it.

Don't you see? Being on this island and roughing it with so many different people has scared and confused poor Celebrian. With people being sent off in small boats and poofing into thin air she doesn't even know if the world is real. Sauron spreading rumors that she was fat and that Elrond re-married has really hurt her. She's been spending the last five days on this island depressed and lying on the beach, staring at the ocean, wanting to go back to Valinor. Staying on the island by a lame voting plot rigged by Mirel and Galadriel against someone else has made her believe that everyone is against her. She thinks that the men will take advantage of her and the woman will make her a slave. She doesn't think she can make it. Anarion thinks she might kill herself soon.

So please, send Celebrian off the island so that she can return to Valinor and heal from this experience.

(*Okay, so maybe a tiny bit.)

Also,

The same applies for Celebrian.

Lhunardawen · 03-29-2006, 03:30 AM

++CELEBRIAN

Okay, okay, she's a wonderful Elf...but she doesn't deserve to be here. Please don't make me give any further explanation other than what I've already said previously because, really, what else is there to say?

Formendacil · 03-31-2006, 02:17 AM

Day Twenty-three marked the beginning of the home stretch of Survivor: The Second Age. With only six candidates remaining, the race was tight. The voting fell as follows:

Celebrían: II

Celebrimbor: III

Elros: IIIII

He had chosen the path of mortality, of NOT living to the end of the world, so it is perhaps only just that while he had a long run in the game of Surivor, Elros Tar-Minyatur did not make it to the end.

Those Remaining:
Galadriel
Celebrían
Celebrimbor
Tar-Míriel
Anárion

Day 24 now commences, and I'mstill predicting a Galadriel win.

And, for what is probably the first time in ME Survivor history, there are more female candidates than male.

Vote Away!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-31-2006, 02:26 AM

++Celebrían

She lacks initiative, letting things be done to her instead. Like being married to Elrond, being kidnapped by Orcs, being rescued by Elladan and Elrohir, and being taken in a ship to Valinor.

If we think of history as a sentence, she's never in the nominative case, always in the accusative or dative case.

Begone!

Formendacil · 04-03-2006, 11:16 AM

Day Twenty-four ended with some evil cackling from the Moderator. His malicious plan had succeeded! *Moans the lack of an Evil Smiley!* The voting fell as follows:

Celebrían: III

Galadriel: IIIII II

And so the male and female balance of the game was restored...

Those Remaining:
Celebrían
Celebrimbor
Tar-Míriel
Anárion

Day 25 now commences, and I'm gleefully pleased to see that Galadriel is gone. Vote away!

She never ruled a realm, never fought in a great battle, never sat with the heads of state deciding great polocies. But I like her anyway. Almost because she didn't do any of that. The Witch-King on the other hand, if fighting against all that the Second Age stands for: Sam Gamgee and the Gaffer, Bilbo writing verses by the fire, the Mountains, the Rule of Men, the Havens of Elves, the will of Manwe and Eru. I find that dispicable. Celebrian is a perfect Second Ager: percisely because she is not "important". __________________ I've got bridge club on Wednesday, Archery on Thursday, Dancing on a Friday night!

Formendacil Dead Serious Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Perched on Thangorodrim's towers. Posts: 3,328	Day Twenty-two was a day of scandal, as the voters fell to petty bickering amongst themselves. It was like a Ring of Power had been dropped into their midst. The final outcome, therefore, was ironically appropriate. The voting fell as follows: Elros: I Celebrían: IIII The Witch-king: IIIII As gone as he was invisible, the Witch-king was voted off, evening up the tribes... Those remaining: Tribe of Those Born Immortal: Galadriel Celebrían Celebrimbor Tribe of Those Born Mortal: Elros Tar-Minyatur Tar-Míriel Anárion Day 23 begins, and I'm still predicting a Galadriel win. And, an interesting tidbit of information for the curious: the genders have been balanced. Oh, and Diamond: it may be inconsistent of me... but since the Witch-king is definitely considered evil, that was definitely a counted rationale. Just try and support it with examples, to make it perfect. __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.

Please don't make me give any further explanation other than what I've already said previously because, really, what else is there to say?

With only six candidates remaining, the race was tight. The voting fell as follows: Celebrían: II Celebrimbor: III Elros: IIIII He had chosen the path of mortality, of NOT living to the end of the world, so it is perhaps only just that while he had a long run in the game of Surivor, Elros Tar-Minyatur did not make it to the end. Those Remaining: Galadriel Celebrían Celebrimbor Tar-Míriel Anárion Day 24 now commences, and I'mstill predicting a Galadriel win. And, for what is probably the first time in ME Survivor history, there are more female candidates than male. Vote Away! __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.

Like being married to Elrond, being kidnapped by Orcs, being rescued by Elladan and Elrohir, and being taken in a ship to Valinor. If we think of history as a sentence, she's never in the nominative case, always in the accusative or dative case. Begone! __________________ フェンリス鴨 (Fenrisu Kamo) The plot, cut, defeated.

His malicious plan had succeeded! Moans the lack of an Evil Smiley! The voting fell as follows: Celebrían: III Galadriel: IIIII II And so the male and female balance of the game was restored... Those Remaining: Celebrían Celebrimbor Tar-Míriel Anárion Day 25 now commences, and I'm gleefully pleased to see that Galadriel is gone. Vote away! __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.
