++ELROS TAR-MINYATUR

For being not so much a King of Numenor...as a worm in a can. Fie and shame upon him, starter of barren discussions!

For obviously failing his foster-father Maglor's vision of doomed romance by being mortal, wealthy and comfortable.

For dying of old age, not foeman's blade.

And for living on the charity of the tyrannical Valar.

This will be my last vote in Survivor for some time as the Latin lands call. Forward Celeborn, worthy victor and independent Elf Lord!

2 for Narvi, 2 for Elros, and 1 for Celeborn.

Celeborn, while possessing many fine traits I am sure, took a back seat to Galadriel. Even a cursory glance of Tolkien's works show that. Therefore, there is no way he should outlast Galadriel in the game. I'm not much into the politics of major characters versus minor characters -- but really if Celeborn isn't going to win the whole thing (and he shouldn't), I see no reason to keep prolonging the discussion about him. We all know he can't beat Galadriel so let's not put ourselves through the pain of forcing a vote-off between the two of them.

+ + Celeborn

No! I won't stand by while Celeborn is attacked!

++ELROS


For choosing mortality and running off to Numenor to live off the Valar.

++Narvi

Perhaps the least important of the dwarves known only for smithy. Telchar overshadowed him, and Gamil Ziriak. Also, If he made the Doors of Moria, did he not realize what he did? He revealed the name of DUrin to anypasserbyer, and he was quick to jump on the fact that his home was a black pit. Narvi spread a bad image of the Longbeards, being hasty and open.

Elros lived to be 500. He was the greatest and most benevolent of all the Kings of Numenore, the grandest kingdom of Men. He has Elvish and divine Maia blood. How could you vote against him?

Well, Elros was the other chap I was considering voting for today, and being that he's gaining a lot more support than Celeborn...

--Celeborn
++Elros


About the only thing Elros has going for him is a cool name (Tar-Minyatur - I do rather like that...). Other than that, he's not that interesting. And he causes his brother a great deal of grief by choosing mortality. Not very loving. Other than that, he did remarkably little except for live for a really long time. If you look him up in the Numenorean kings chapter in UT, that's about all it says about him. Obviously he didn't do anything worthy of winning Survivor.

You know, the longer you keep him in the game, the more likely it will be you are dooming him to a face-off with his wife for supremacy, and that could get ugly. For him.

However, as this round seems to be coming down between Elros and Narvi, if I want to actually be involved I'm going to have to change my vote.

- - Celeborn

+ + Narvi

Someone else brought this up already, but I must agree -- what kind of security is "Speak 'Friend' and Enter"? All you have to do is read the sign out loud in Elvish and voila, you can get in! That's about as good as writing, "The password is Friend. Say it. Frrrriiiieeeeend" above the door. So what if the door was created in "friendlier" times... when exactly in Middle-earth history was it ever safe to have such an easy door guard?

Look at it this way: who is going to attack them that way anyway? Orcs, but they aren't going to be able to read the Elvish. Any other attackers (still not sure who) probably wouldn't even get that far before they were noticed.

For being a non-entity. Seriously, we wouldn't even have heard of him if he hadn't written his name on that blasted door.
