This we must find out... What WILL Wayne do if Galion stays?

Now, to convince the SPM that someone else is worthy of his wrath....

It appears that Bert is leading, so I present you therefore with data suggesting that this uncouth troll is, in fact, not worth as much as Galion.

Bert, as everyone ought to know, is a troll. This being the Barrow-Downs, everybody ought to want to get him off just for that reason. In fact, he ought to have been deleted out of the game by an all-powerful Admin for that very reason. Do we not have "don't feed the troll" notices up on this board? Don't we all eagerly neg-rep a troll down to the very depths of chasm below the Bridge of Khazad-dum?

Furthermore, Bert is an anachronism. Who can explain the presence of that accent and a name like "Bert" within the Legendarium that is Middle-Earth. His presence, and that of his comrades is one of the most glaring disruptions of the thematic whole, and has incurred the wrath of Davem, if of no others.

What's more, this Bert is a known cannibal! A cannibal with an appetite for just about every type of creature remaining on the board: hobbits, dwarves, elves, men, mutton. You name it, he'll eat it. Would we want our one and only Burrahobbit eaten and killed just because we didn't evict this dimwitted troll from this game?

Finally, I have to ask you why you even bother permitting a stone statue to take place in this game. We have evicted several old and dead Dwarves on the simple basis of them being dead and rotting, so should we not remove this Troll to a more suitable place, such as pedestal in some courtyard?

I call upon you all to do the wise thing, and vote:

++Bert

And remember, don't feed the troll.

Perhaps Galion will find more loopholes in democracy, like many other people do. For the present, Galion is just an annoyance, and as Formendacil stated Bert is bringing about cannabalism on the island. Bert is leading a secret group consisting of *NAME AND RACE WITHELD*. They might be planning on eating the remaining hobbits, and to stop this madness, we must put our ill feelings against Galion aside (yet again) and remove Bert from the island and the the hobbits from fear! Vote against Bert Today! Do it for the Hobbits!

For being an anachronistic, talking statue of a cannibal. And to find out what Wayne will do if Galion stays.

Sorry. Not convinced.

Well, apart from the fact that Bert is a Stone Troll and not a Net Troll, Trolls on the Downs can sometimes be quite fun. They liven the place up, get everyone talking and (despite the warnings not to feed them) inevitably suffer some humorous baiting. Moreover, just as good requires evil to reveal it's true nature, Trolls on the Downs show us how not to behave and also make us feel better about ourselves since we can observe how good our behaviour is by comparison.

Bert and his companions fulfil much the same role on the Island.

[Disclaimer: This should not be taken as encouragement to feed the Net Trolls when they do turn up.]

Simple. It's a translation of his Trollish name. Which is Bertram. And, as we all know from the films, cockney was a dialect extensively spoken in Middle-earth by creatures of darkness ...

Shame on you! It's his natural diet. Do we persecute cats and dogs for eating bits of diced up lamb and rabbit? And, strictly speaking, it is not cannibalism, as he is of a different species.

And since when has anybody watching the Middle-earth Survivor franchise ever been squeamish about picking on Hobbits, Dwarves and Men? (Elves, other than Arwen and Legolas, appear for some inexplicable reason to represent a special exception.)

Actually, he has been managing so far to keep out of the sunlight, so he's solidified (and tanned) only moderately so far. Besides, should he be caught out in the sun, he will provide a rather decorative feature which will serve the dual purpose of providing an excellent blade-sharpener for machetes, fish-gutting knives etc.

Besides, Bill and Tom will pine for him if he is evicted.

Ah well. The Trolls have to be separated eventually. Better to minimise their grief by doing it now, not later-cruel to be kind...

--OLD TOOK, ++BERT

And Saucie-Elves an exception? What about the mass motiveless Elf-slaughter in LOTR Survivor?
