Survivor : All Star - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

wilwarin538 · 08-10-2006, 11:54 AM

Day 3 wasn't quit as exciting as the first 2 days of All Star Survivor, but the votes were very close:

Celebrimbor - 4
Sauron - 1
Tar-Miriel -1
Tom Bombadil - 5
Arwen - 1
Manwe - 2

At the end of the day it was Tom Bombadil that received the most votes.

Tom stood up and walked away from his tribe. As he pranced away singing.........nothing terrible happened because he's one of my favorite characters. He just hopped a long singing happily, only slightly disappointed, and lived happily ever after.

Thus ends Day 3!

From the Lord of the Rings Survivor
Merry
Gimli
Hama
Gandalf
Arwen

***************************************

You may now start voting!

I'm going on a little road trip with my family tomorrow, though we are leaving early in the morning, and I should be back in time, just wanted to warn you incase the plan changes and I end up being late.

mormegil · 08-10-2006, 01:33 PM

Is there actually any point in me voting for Maglor again? I can see that there are enough fans, I can't for the life of me understand why, but enough exist that he may be the favorite out there.

Nogrod · 08-10-2006, 02:39 PM

I could go with any bandwaggon getting rid of the minor works characters asap... Let's have a couple of double lynches first and continue the game then? We'll have to do away with them anyhow sooner or later, right? Or could someone of you really think of one of them as the winner?

Glirdan · 08-10-2006, 02:47 PM

Well, I agree with almost all of the minor characters getting the boot. But I think we should keep Goldberry around just a little longer. But I still want to get rid of Arwen (curse the usurper!) and Maglor...

Diamond18 · 08-10-2006, 03:32 PM

Just because he was in a minor work does not change the fact that Chryspohylax is cooler than many of the characters here. I don't really give a twit about any of the other MW peeps (since my other favorites didn't make it to the allstar game... seems a shame Perry the Pom Pom and Princess Pom Pomier got to be ressurected when far more worthy candidates such as Farmer Giles and Roveranndom did not) but really, you can't just expell Chrysi with the lame reasoning that the story he was in wasn't as long as the others. Even if you do, might I remind you that he is a prominent character in what is arguably the finest RPG series to ever grace the 'Downs. And length? Oh, we got that, brothas and sistas.

Anyway, who to vote for?

+ + Maglor

Just because I feel sorry for morm.

Gurthang · 08-10-2006, 03:44 PM

++Maglor

I agree, let us get those pansy elves outta here!

Also, I will demolish any who attempt to thwart my plan to see Smaug and Chrysophylax through to the final.

Actually, scanning through the names, I've changed me mind.

--Maglor

++Perry-the-Winkle

Now that's a pansy name if I've ever heard one. And I don't even know what work he's from, so he needn't remain. To the plank with 'em!

Diamond18 · 08-10-2006, 05:50 PM

Perry Como(tose) was in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil -- he was a particularly fat hobbit who befriended a troll, and wore cardigans and crooned "Catch a Falling Star."

I think I will stick with Maglor though. I mean, that letter from The Man himself was pretty damning. Thanks morm, for digging that up.

Macalaure · 08-11-2006, 03:11 AM

Imagine you are the King of the Gods. You live high on Taniquetil. You are the Lord of the airs. You are both wise and powerful. You have a force of eagles over in Middle-Earth which allow you to intervene practically everywhere you desire in the nick of time. You even have a fancy sceptre. Shouldn't you be loved and praised and be called upon by all free peoples?

Yet...

The only ones who ever called upon you were some retarded* oathtakers and a bad marksman who clearly inhaled too much of the fumes of Thangorodrim. No matter how many people your eagles save, in danger they will call for the help of your wife, who did little more than to kindle some faraway stars. In fact, they will rather cry the name of a former immortal who's dead since millennia to come for their help.

This guy depresses me.

++Manwe

*be assured that, in the future, I will deny to ever have made this statement.

Bêthberry · 08-11-2006, 03:35 AM

I'm going to stick with my Silmarillion schtick.

Macalaure's right about Manwe's always wife being favoured. In fact, most of the guys on Taniquetil seem to have this problem of being overshadowed by their wives. The eagles just don't dare enough. Wussies!

++Manwe

Mirkgirl · 08-11-2006, 05:26 AM

++ Manwe

The eagels always seemed to me to act on their own accord tho rather than on direct 'orders'. Or did I overlook something in my half-blind detest of the airy lord? Probably...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 08-11-2006, 05:35 AM

Bombadil must be avenged. . .

++Manwe

It is funny how we hardly even consider voting for "the minor works", maybe because we don't have that many feelings for them. . . It would be a shame if they won because of that.

Lalaith · 08-11-2006, 06:15 AM

Oh well. If I can´t get rid of the pet, I´ll get rid of the petter.

--INGWE

Do you have any particular reason for wishing to save Alf? If not, I would ask you to bear in mind my decisive support for Maglor ...

No particular reason but it is enjoyable to see people believing I care for him. That's right I have no particular affinity with him other than his evicition means Merry doesn't go today but I can get rid of Sauron so as to save Alf if needs be.

Yes I remember your support but I believe you remember some 'aid' I rendered to you and yours on a particular game that may have been pivotal at times.

Aye, and I have acknowledged that aid. But this time, I act alone (a certain Dwarf's vote for the W-K saw to that).

Nevertheless, a loose arrangement of sorts to reflect and revive the past co-operation between you and I could be of mutual benefit. I have already offered you my support on the Merry issue once Alf has gone, in return for your support in achieving that end.

mormegil · 08-16-2006, 08:14 AM

Fine I accept the offer.

--Sauron

++ALF

I guess my victory of Merry must wait.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 08-16-2006, 08:18 AM

I am still convinced that the "Minor Works" characters means something to Mormegil and I shall continue to vote for them. . .
