I will be voting for Elrond now because of his retreat, the man, elf that is, left poor Gil-galad to die. He let his wife leave to Valinor and didn't go with her, essentially abandoning her and he's raised some no-good kids. Plus and most importantly he's lazy and always has everybody else do the work for him. Frodo for example. "Hey Frodo since I failed to get Isildur to cast the ring into Mt. Doom, do you think you could do it for me? You could? Great! I will sit here doing nothing and await your return. What's that Gondor is going to be crushed?....Meh"

Thoughtless and careless. A true drain on the tribe

++Elrond

++Elrond

now i'm dead because of him, good point Morm

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-26-2005, 04:56 PM

++Faramir

I cannot make a better argument than those of Formendacil.

But i am going to ad this : I belive Faramir is picking up some of those Identety Stealing habbits of Eowyn.

Ergo Faramir must go ! ! !

Lalaith · 09-26-2005, 05:10 PM

There I was, all set to vote for Faramir, Formendacil really said it all - but then mormegil really has made an excellent case against Elrond.
I shall wait and vote tactically.

++FARAMIR

His name is an anagram of air farm. Anyone who runs a farm to grow air has to be cracked and in need of a nice long rest back in Minas Tirith.

Faramir should clearly have been disqualified yesterday.

While all of the other contestants were busying themselves about camp with their daily tasks and allowing viewers to form their own opinions, Faramir was more concerned with hiring a (second-rate

) lawyer in an effort to persuade, cajole and bully viewers into not voting for him.

That's cheating in my book. He must go today.

++ FARAMIR

By the way, Boro, when there are only three Survivors left, do we get to vote for the one that we think should win?

Formendacil · 09-26-2005, 07:11 PM

Once again, I must vote:

++Faramir

For all the reasons above, and adding to them the reasons below. Here we now have the testimony of members of the OTHER tribes:

Pippin (on behalf of the Hobbits): "Faramir's a pretty hesitant guy. He promised to help out the Hobbit tribe one time, but he pulled back. Said that he didn't dare go across the road. Sent Frodo and Sam alone with nothing but walking sticks and grape nuts. Cheap walking sticks too. They didn't even make it to Mordor before the lousy things broke. Secretly, I think Faramir was trying too hard to impress all the wrong people."

Pallando (For the Istari Tribe): "I've spent quite a few years in the East and South, working undercover against Sauron, and I've heard nothing but bad things about this Faramir. He's a butcher of the first order, killing off innocent victims of Sauron's cruelty. Furthermore, he's wanted by SPCA for his criminal actions against Oliphaunts. And I've heard reports that he wanted to be Gandalf's pupil. That's really a major strike against him. Gandalf's a terribly useless old geezer, and all that uncloaking... I won't say why I think Faramir was attracted to him.

Gimli (speaking on behalf of the Dwarves): "Faramir seems like a very sickly fellow. The first time I ever saw him was in the Houses of Healing. He seemed well enough, if a bit pale. Looked like a man who'd never done much outside, the kind that likes to avoid work. What's more, the timing of his illness is remarkably suspect. Furthermore, someone as devoted as he was to the "Old Days" of Minas Tirith would be bad news for the Dwarves. Until King Elessar, Dwarves were hardly ever welcomed in the Seven-Circled City.

Galadriel (speaking for the Elves): "He's a very uninformed man. He believes the legends about the Golden Wood being a place of peril, but tries to have the best of both worlds while claiming to envy those who have spoken with Elves. He is clearly a xenophobe, however, because if he really wanted to meet Elves, all he would have to do is go up Anduin. It's not a long journey. Furthermore, notice which son of Denethor actually ends up going to Rivendell? Not Faramir. Personally, I believe that Faramir has an Anti-Elven complex.

Treebeard (speaking for the "Others): "He is a very hasty creature, this Faramir-ling. Always rushing about and working himself up into a very sweaty mess. All this flitting about Ithilien, Cair Andros, Minas Tirith, Osgiliath, and other such Gondorian places is not good for little one. He does not think things through, but makes decisions like sending away Rings of Power or to insanely hold the line in Osgiliath without barely the hesitation that a second's worth of time would bring. A most hasty little human."

Ugluk (for the Bad Guys): "Manflesh! He is weak, and deserves only to be crushed under the heel of Saruman's might!"

++Elrond

All he does is mope about Arwen and Aragorn. And his wife. And he stole Vilya from Gil-Galad when he wasn't looking.
