And I happen to really like Celebrian.

Umm, Goldberry's washing day allowed the hobbits stay a day longer with Tom. Respite has a value of its own--solace--even if it doesn't create action drama and heart thumping excitement.

Not that I'm commenting on today's vote. I'm still mulling over things. Are we going to end up with the Eagle being champion? *shakes head*

There may be some fans out there though probably not enough to have him win. I say he is next in my sights after Goldberry.

Though I wanted her out in the past, the size of the current Celebrian-waggon is downright frightening. I feel the need to add a true alternative, and I don't see Goldberry as one.

What has happened to the wave that swept the minor works characters away? Get the dragon gone I say!

What has happened to the wave that swept the minor works characters away...

Hmm..you have a minor works character in Goldberry who had three votes against her compared to Chrys' one. I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "true alternative," but if you really want to save Celebrian than Goldberry probably would've been your best bet.

Not that it really matters since Chrys will probably be the next or one of the next to go after Goldberry...

I repeat my vote from yesterday:

I don't regard Goldberry as a real alternative to Celebrian because the two are too similar to each other. Plus, Goldberry isn't a proper minor works character.
And I don't even want to save Celebrian - just thought a 15-or-so to 3 final result would be boring.

TB after years (centuries?) of incessant
rhyming. (And she'd be sure to get off a
trial by either temporary insanity or
justified homicide).

Why to wote her if I can wote her today?

I recounted the votes from yesterday and I received the same numbers, so nothing is going to change. Besides I don't think it makes much of a diference since Celebrian is gone today anyway.

Chrysophylax Dives - 2
Elbereth - 1
Goldberry - 5
Gloin - 1
Celebrian - 9

The villagers have decided and Celebrian is the one to be lynched today!

The angry viallgers grabbed the she-elf and roughly dragged her towards the gallows. They tied the rope around her neck and pulled the lever. Suddenly confetti sprang up from all around.

"Oops, wrong lever." the villager said, then he pulled the right one.

Celebrian's neck snapped, and she didn't transform. They had lynched an ord.

I think I miss modding Werewolf to much.

Remaining contestants:

From the Lord of the Rings Survivor
Gimli
Hama

From the Silmarillion Survivor
Elbereth

From the Hobbit Survivor
Smaug
Gloin

From the Second Age Survivor
Thorondor

From the Minor Works Survivor
Chrysophylax Dives
Goldberry

You may now start voting.

NOTE:
Since the end is approaching, I've been thinking how I want the final 3 to work (or is it final 2?). I thought that instead of having you vote for who you want to have win in the thread, you could PM the name of who you want to win. Then I could post the results. This would give more surprise, and suspense, no one would know who the winner is.

If you all think this is a terrible idea, and you want to do it the traditional way, just say so and it will be done.
