Menel - 2 (Absurd, Handy)

ROUND 3

Gwath here's the energetic:

Beorn
Gondor
Butterbur
Thorin
Wargs
Beregond
Mayor Moneybags
Sauron
Bill Ferny
Varda

Beorn - Maybe. I'd say more driven and motivated than energetic, but that might just be semantics.
Gondor - I'd say Gondor is the opposite of energetic, looking at its conduct without a king.
Butterbur - Far too forgetful to be the best choice, to my mind.
Thorin - Gold-hungry, ambitious, mighty, yes, but energetic? Mmm, maybe...
Wargs - Now this is a choice I can get behind.
Beregond - Yes, I'd say he fits the description.
Mayor Moneybags - A humorous choice if anything.
Sauron - Hmm. In more ways than one - a firey eye would consume a lot of energy, let along the energetic nature Sauron has as a character.
Bill Ferny - A different sort of energy than we've mostly seen, but energetic nonetheless, I'd say.
Varda - As Queen of the Valar, I see her more as an elegant, beautiful figure than an energetic one.

Alright, so I'm just getting back now, since I spent my day at a high school with a bunch of 9th graders. But it appears I'm not the only one having a busy weekend.

So, continue on this round for another day, and hopefully people get some more free time. Mmm...I need a nap.

Gwathagor · 10-14-2012, 12:11 AM

Drat. I forgot about this.

Yeah... Just back from the wilderness (it was cold). Anyhow, out of those, I'd probably go for Wargs - just love the idea of them described as energetic.

No worries, busy weekend for many and I was insanely tired yesterday.

Do have your energetic winner picked by 8pm today.

Welcome back to the land of the wights Greenie, Legate, et all.

My darling prince finds himself suddenly preoccupied for the bulk of the evening. We shall thus continue discussion on the current taters until his return.

Gwathagor · 10-14-2012, 07:06 PM

And the winner is:

BEORN.

satansaloser2005 · 10-14-2012, 08:16 PM

Rune may now begin the traditional gloating period. At least it's not Menel again....

Boro will return to announce the next round when he deems it proper (read, when he is no longer otherwise engaged).

Boromir88 · 10-15-2012, 02:46 PM

Thank you my dear for handling that on short notice. I had an unanticipated obligation late last night, and if only real life was as easy as only feeling responsible for yourself.

But, yes Rune gets on the board, and I'll post the next round at 8pm tonight. I didn't want to do it in the afternoon and only allow 7-ish hours for everyone to send me their choice.

Boromir88 · 10-15-2012, 05:14 PM

Tally

Menel - 2 (Absurd, Handy)
Rune - 1 (Energetic)

ROUND 4

Green tater: Malicious (mean, hateful, spiteful)
Judge: Legate

Boromir88 · 10-16-2012, 05:53 PM

ROUND 4

So, I have a feeling Legate is going to put his brain through the grinder to decide this one.

Malicious:

Huorns
Dol Guldur
Dol Amroth
King of the Dead
Fellbeast
Grima Wormtongue
Mouth of Sauron
Gollum
Eol
Fangorn Forest
Glaurung
Ted Sandyman

(And I will send out everyone's new red taters soon).

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-17-2012, 03:26 AM

Whoa, whoa! Some pretty malicious folks (and not folks) over here. What strikes me in particular (obviously because of its innovative approach) is the idea of Fangorn, and seemingly somebody had had a very similar idea with the Huorns (so we had the same idea of innovative approach here, it seems!). If we are talking the "dark heart of the woods", certainly it isn't that off. Otherwise, I very much like Wormtongue, Mouth of Sauron, Glaurung and Ted Sandyman, and I could be talked into Gollum or Eöl. If people come up with some convincing arguments for anything, I may be swayed - so, go ahead and try your own assessments of the list, I'm most curious about your perception

Boromir88 · 10-17-2012, 05:26 PM

Tally

Menel - 2 (Absurd, Handy)
Rune - 1 (Energetic)
Lottie - 1 (Malicious)
