[The Saucepan Man]

Oh well, at least we managed to vote off a person as well as a concept ...

Ang, shouldn't that be Hurin? And, if so, shouldn't he be removed from the contestant list?

Possible candidates for eviction today, as I see it:

Turin: No point in keeping him now that the Curse has been lifted. Plus the greatest remaining mortal warrior (assuming that Hurin is dead) and a potential Dragom-slayer, and therefore a significant obstacle to Morgoth's forces.

Maedhros: Removing the Elven High King will perhaps sap their morale and thereby assist Morgoth's armies in wreaking havoc.

Melian: Remove her and Morgoth's hordes will be able to overrun Doriath.

Arien: If we plunge Beleriand into darkness, this will no doubt assist Morgoth's forces.

Telchar of Nogrod: A Dwarf and therefore potentially dangerous for Glaurung and the young Ancalagon. Also supplies powerful weapons to the Elves.

Any others?
