I'm going to tag along with Firefoot here and say...

++Treebeard

He just sits there and meditates in the woods all day and seems strained from the rest of the tribe.

I am sticking to my strategy of voting for the strongest tribe, in an effort to keep things even. So one from the Men tribe has to go.

Faramir seems to have taken it hard since Denethor was voted off. He just mopes around camp bewailing the fact that he was not able to save his father. Besides, if any of the tasks involve picking up hoops of gold from the road, he will be next to useless.

And he's a goody-two-shoes.

It's time for him to go.

I concur firefoot, ++Treebeard needs to pack his bags and leave, unfortunately he will still be packing and leaving after the game is over

Glirdan · 09-24-2005, 08:40 PM

I'm going to vote

++Merry

He keeps drinking the wine with Pip, not to mention the elf draughts!!!

The culling of Elves has gone on far too long. We need a Dwarf gone. Down with the ridiculous snobberies of the ludicrous and decrepit Gloin!

I think it's high time we get rid of Cirdan. I mean the old elf is truly useless. He never actually accomplished much during his thousands of years on Middle-earth. What? He built the Havens? No big deal I think pretty much anybody could have done that given the amount of time he had. Another thing about him, for his tribe he does little, just as in life. He sits around waiting for others to do things, only to give too little aid too late. He's always begging for help from men etc...

I say the old elf needs to retire

++Cirdan

I will defend Cirdan to the hilt. Besides, you are an oath-breaker now. Your faction declared Thranduil would be enough to sate their lust for blood.

As for your inane question, "what did Cirdan actually do?" it is akin to the question "what use are the Classics?"-spawn of a slacking intellect. I shall answer-

-Saved and fostered Gil-galad Ereinion, by whose hand Sauron eventually fell

-Acted as ruler of Harlindon under the High King and paticipated in the defence of Eriador against Sauron's armies

-Advised the destruction of the Ring

-Acted as bearer of the Elven ring Narya and-more vitally-guessed correctly which of the Istari would be best-suited to carry it in the struggle ahead

-Lent support to the beleaguered line of Arnor and the chieftains of Arthedain, assailed by Angmar

-Was on the White Council

-Harboured one of the Palantiri, and unlike all the other guardians never used it and got ensnared by it

-Probably helped overthrow the Necromancer

-Maintained the way to Valinor, ensuring peace and healing for many Elves and eventually for the Ringbearers

-Found time to grow a stylish beard

Lay off Cirdan, or your favourite characters will drop like flies again...
