Well, it seems Fate has given me an omen. Just as I read the latest round, this quote appeared at the top of the webpage:

++Smaug the Smug
I love his wit and his vanity. So much more personal and interesting than any other dragon by Tolkien (or probably by any other author either). PS. I seem to belong to a minority since I find dragons nor awesome nor boring, but just plain "nice" or "ok"... ![]()

Hate to pile on against old Drauglin
but Smaug's acerbic wit gives him the edge. + + Smaug

Smaug-7
Drauglin-2 Old Man Willow vs. Master of Laketown In their own ways both were survivors. The Master not only efficiently ran his town, and was correct in doubts about the wisdom of riling the status quo by provoking Smaug, but then made out rather well with the worm's treasure until the tragic end of this statesman. Had he survived mayhap his descendants would have been valued bureaucrats in Eriador and Rhovannion. As for Old Man Willow the question is how mobile (and evil) were he and his followers. Could they have skittered all the way to Fangorn, in say, 500 years? ![]()

![]() However, with all due respect to Old Man, I vote the old man. ++Master of Laketown He was an interesting character. And only recently, I realised he was really the only known open supporter of democracy in Middle-Earth! Now come on, that was a great move from royalistic writer like the Prof. - I can well imagine him making a draft of the Master's character, thinking "He is a negative character... what character traits will I give to him? He will be greedy, cowardish, and... hmm... a democrate!" Quote:
