Tally
the phantom - 3 (Honest, Insane, Violent) Nogrod - 2 (Extraordinary, Peaceful) Gwath - 2 (Neglected, Charming) Kitanna - 1 (Deadly) Menel - 1 (Cuddly) ----- ROUND 10 Gwath, for "ridiculous" this could also be a challenging one to judge: Mablung (the Hunter) Entmoot Ban of the Valar Grima Wormtongue Farmer Maggot Oath of Feanor Uruk-hai Saeros Hurin **There were 2 problems that I couldn't get to until now because of my limitted internet, so there may be two more choices added on later/shortly** --- ROUND 11 Green tater: Weary (lazy, lifeless, apathetic) Judge: Kath

A difficult round to judge indeed...
I have to say I'm more taken with the "things" rather than the people. Entmoot, Ban, and Oath just sound better, and they are funny. Uruk-hai is also a bit funny, as it makes me think of Saruman experimenting with a new species and producing an army with arms growing out of their heads...

Mablung (the Hunter)- It's ridiculous that someone would send this in.
Saeros- Ditto above. Entmoot- This one made me laugh. It's kinda true. Ban of the Valar- Not so true, and not as funny. Grima Wormtongue- Despicable, rather. Farmer Maggot- He wasn't, & not in a funny way. Oath of Feanor- Deadly serious, and not funny. Uruk-hai- This one makes me laugh. Hurin- Qualifies as blasphemy to play Hurin for this.

Ridiculous (absurd, ludicrous, preposterous)
Not in any sense ridiculous, not to the point nor fun: Mablung (the Hunter) Entmoot (saying it was ridiculous only betrays the suggester being ridiculous.  )Ban of the Valar Farmer Maggot Oath of Feanor Húrin Which leaves only candidates which are neither brilliant or great either... Grima Wormtongue - sad character rather, or then despicable, or even evil if one wants to look at him that way. But not so much ridiculous unless you wish to maintain that all puppets are ridiculous by definition. Uruk-hai - To call the Uruks ridiculous sounds a bit odd as well. You could say deformed, twisted, cruel, maniacal, stupid; maybe mocking the nature and then by some way the products of a "ridiculous attempt at twisting nature" or something. Saeros - I think comes the closest of the three: comparing men to animals sure is ridiculous, especially if done from jealousy (which is kind of self-contradicting) - then again, trying to ambush Túrin and get better of him far outreaches plain ridiculousness (okay, might go as ludicrous or preposterous) - and his fate is far from anything fun or to be smirked about.

My choice is:
OATH OF FEANOR

I believe it would come down to the Oath of Feanor or Ban of the Valar (with the Entmoot being an outside humour chance).
And now...Menel finds himself with 2.

Rivendell The Old Forest Gorlim the Unhappy Maedhros Mandos Brown Lands Mirkwood Galion the Butler Ringwraiths Several places, but they rather fit and make sense with a few reasonable people too.  --- ROUND 12 I caved...and considering the alternative definitions this could also be interesting. Go crazy: Green tater: Chewy (rubbery, gummy, stringy) Judge: Lhuna
