double lynching! i think...

Eowyn- 6
Glorfindel- 6
Galadriel- 3

Folwren · 10-09-2005, 02:01 PM

Hm. Hard choice, really. I like both Eowyn and Glorfindel...

But, due to the circumstances and evidence, I think that Glorfindel should be the one to go. Why? Because, out of the two of them, Eowyn is much more fit for the Island. Consider - Glorfindel...pushed off of his horse by Arwen (who, in herself, is a wimp) ... what's that say for the male elf? I mean, come on.

Eowyn, on the other hand, is very strong...she was somewhat rebellious, yes, but that's evidently what people want around here. *ahem* But towards the end of it, she really comes around. Decides that a woman's life is not meant to be a man's and marries for love and not for dreaming.

So...only to save Eowyn, though, mind, I do like them both - ++Glorfindel

Sorry but I must change my vote again. My Galadriel push didn't work out and Glorfindel is close to leaving so he needs my help

Ah. Mormegil. You're fond of Glorfindel.

Preference noted, vengeance drive ready to be begun...

Lalaith · 10-09-2005, 02:19 PM

Morm is just being perverse. He said he'd be happy to go for Pippin, you said you'd be happy to go for Pippin, I said I'd be happy to go for Pippin, so there we were, we could all have been happy, but what does he do...deliberately set out to annoy and upset everyone.

Anguirel · 10-09-2005, 02:21 PM

After the demise of Celeborn, Eomer, and now Eowyn, I'm quite frankly eager to cause mormegil as much unhappiness as possible. This natural inclination is presently striving with my anti-Hobbit nature...

Yes, but there are others. However he whom I wished to win was taken out far too early, which resulted in the destruction of your elven lord clan. Samwise Gamgee should have won this game and it's a shame he didn't.

Not so. I'm merely needing to save one of those I want in the final. However nobody went for Pippin today so it was fairly futile to go for him alone. If you would like I would go for him tomorrow.

Between Eowyn and Glorfindel, I think Glorfindel sounds funnier. I mean, really, say it aloud. Glor...fin...del. It brings images of Santa's workshop to mind.

Anguirel · 10-09-2005, 02:53 PM

I'm submitting to cynicism and taking up the no-brain role of prosecutor.

Let's have a look at this *Glorfindel's* career.

Not a member of the golden house of Finrod and yet a blonde. This means that clearly, sometime in the First Age, he stole hair dye from-

A. Celegorm. This would mean that this so called hero had spent time hanging around with a traitor, murderer, abductor and Lord Fauntleroy-lookalike.

or

B. Oropher. This would mean that he falsified his claim to be of the Noldor, is some rustic Sinda, and blagged his way into Gondolin, where he killed the real Glorfindel and stole his identity during the chaos of the Siege. The prosecution thinks this the more likely.

Then who is he really? Or should I say she? For the smooth-talking Noldorin Lord is none other than...

Marysueowen, notorious feminist, inept singer, ninja assassin, illegal half-elf, and mother of Legolas!

This explains her constant resurrection and her effortless victories over Balrogs and Ringwraiths. Get rid of this abomination before it's too late!

Dunwen · 10-09-2005, 03:16 PM

Let's see....
Glorfindel: Pretty horse
Dresses well
Nice hair
Fights evil by playing with matches

Vs. Eowyn: Devoted to family
Has earned the trust of her nation
Superb rider (did Glorfindel fight on horseback while encumbered by
hobbit? I think not.)
Dresses well (see appearance in Houses of Healing)
Nice hair (see note re: Houses of Healing above)
Fights evil by standing her ground and taking on Fell Beast and Witch
King
Sense of humor ("I am no man!")
Totally rocks
Had to put up with being hit on by Grima Wormtongue (which explains
a lot about that whole crush-on-Aragorn thing)

For the last reason alone, she deserves to survive!
