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!

++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...

I said I would do it and I will.

++Faramir

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-25-2005, 05:44 AM

HAHA an indirect attack ++Faramir

Sorry for the long abense. Clirden should go period.

Whatever could have possessed me to vote for Cirdan before? It must have been the influence of that troublesome duo of Sauron and Saruman. But now that they are gone, I see the error of my ways and will join Cirdan's defenders.

But who to vote for today, strategically speaking? I too would like to see the insufferable Gloin sent packing. However, there are now three votes for Treebeard and three for Faramir. A vote for one of them seems more likely to help Cirdan, so I don't think I can vote for Gloin...yet.

I rather like Faramir. Besides, we can't get rid of him while Eowyn is still around. There's too much of a romance subplot going on between those two. And I have to go on a trip today, so I won't be back in time to employ the retractable vote. So I will have to cast my ballot for

++TREEBEARD.

If we get him started on his preparations to return to Fangorn now, there's a chance that he'll be ready to go by the time the game is over.
