Indeed, Tulkas and Eol would've been my pet selections (along with Ar Pharazon) had I been choosing. Eliminating any of them would've been tough, but yes, probably Ar Phar gets the boot first, and then from the remaining two it would've been up to my mood whether I felt like picking the dark character or the good guy.

I feel fortunate I elected not to send my first choice tater, as seeing what has happened I definitely believe it would've fallen by the way alongside the Battle of the Pelennor Fields- which would've been a waste as it is a rather good tater. There ought to be a good opportunity to play it later....

That rhymed.

And the winner (because I should be online before noon, but I won't take the chance) is...Eol!

Eol, to me, demonstrates a more violent nature in his unpredictability. Tulkas' nature is not violent, though his actions sometimes are - he's more the sort to sing a Happy Fighting Song while swiming his Happy Fighting Hammer and then go back home and be still essentially calm at nature. Ergo, Eol wins!

Prince Boromir the 88th regrets to inform you that his internet has become infested with pixies, and that he is currently unavailable. He wishes to extend his congratulations to the phantom for yet another victory (), and assures me that he will return at his earliest convenience, at which time shenanigans will resume.

Didn't I say that!

I have nothing against the phantom winning a game, but hey, this game ends with the next tp victory...

So it is pretty simple: if you want to play the game, don't go with the phantom any more. Thus far it has not been too hard to read (well of course he will change from openly supporting any of his candidates from now on...). If you want this to end though, then do vote his candidate - and make all of us others who'd wish to continue with the game mad...


Btw. if we're going to take another round of this, I'd suggest we don't make a "winning condition" but will play for any predeterminend number of rounds (twenty - thirty?) whatever way the taters go. When playing this live I'm actually not interested in who got how many taters and if possible would prefer them not to be counted in the end, but well, here that is kind of impossible - as knowing any round's winner is an important part of the game - whereas in a long RL game you forget who has won and how much so you could actually end the game without knowing who "won" overall - which would be just fine.

A game that ends prematurely is always a disappointment.

Kudos to the phantom though, nicely played.

Will post new information up shortly.

I was not anticipating having so many connection issues at my new place. So, pretty much 4pm EST (8pm GMT) is one of the times I can guarantee to have internet. DL will be then.
