The Hobbit Survivor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eonwe · 01-08-2006, 12:25 PM

Hear me people! There is much amiss in this town of Barrows! Do my eyes mistake me? How can one so lovable as Bert be so coldly thorwn into the hard, stony streets with so little remorse? How can this be, especially when such evils as those carrying red silk pocket handkerchiefs remain among us yet? And what is more, there is talk not of redress and penitance for wrongs done, but of the cruel sending forth of his brothers, Tom and William! Nay, I say to thee! It shall not be so! Not while Downers of courage, sense and fortitude remain yet among us!

++Elrond! A thousand times ++Elrond!

What a nancy, with a red silk hankerchief.

I agtee with what is being said about girion, i think he should leave.

You're all picking on the clearly weaker tribe.

I would ask you all to look long and hard at ++BOLG.

Backwards, this miscreant's name spells GLOB. This is clearly short for...

...globalisation!

Begone with the capitalistic fiend! If allowed to prosper, he'll subdue Gondor with a horde of Starbucks! The Rohirrim, growing obese on Big Macs, will become too fat to ride! The Hobbits will be put into Nike sweatshops!

Stop Bolg, aka Glob, before it's too late!

Lalaith · 01-09-2006, 05:31 AM

Well, I'm going to go out on a limb here and vote for
++ELVENKING

Thranduil is a shoddy excuse for an elf. He's greedy and materialistic, he lacks kingly grace and compassion, and those shenanigans with the Arkenstone were surely beneath the dignity of any of the Quendi.

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-09-2006, 08:00 AM

++ GIRION

So dull that I thought he'd gone already. Since he hasn't, he should go now.

Lalaith · 01-09-2006, 08:02 AM

I concur that Girion is boring but his necklace is lovely and I'll miss it when it's gone.

Kuruharan · 01-09-2006, 08:02 AM

Anguriel, I'll tell you what. You help me get rid of Girion (since he's got more votes at the moment) and then I'll help you get rid of Bolg.

Deal?

(I've never liked Bolg. I've always wanted to kill him. Don't know why. His name is also waaaay to similar to "blog" and that will just cause more confusion in this techno centered age.)

mormegil · 01-09-2006, 10:25 AM

Support?!?! I won't know how to handle that

++Elrond

Anyone that would allow his daughter to marry a ranger is not a good father, and let's not forget allowing his wife to leave without sufficient guard. Then he goes and become bitter about it getting mad at orcs and trolls when they only did what nature made them. Nature made elves smarter than that yet Elrond was demonstrated pitiful forsight in allowing her to be attacked.

What !? Nature has nothing to do with it and you know it. It was not nature that made orcs trolls and other grim beings. These are nothing but bad replicates made by Melkor the swindler.

Anguirel · 01-09-2006, 10:36 AM

I quite like Girion, but I can see that the witless anti-Elf lynch-mob psychology is starting to manifest itself...we need to stop before it sends the electorate into a Bacchic frenzy. The bigots mustn't be allowed the blood they crave!

--BOLG, ++GIRION

Everyone, Girion is now the official "save Elrond" vote...

Thinlómien · 01-09-2006, 10:40 AM

Okay, let's save Elrond.

++GIRION

Lalaith · 01-09-2006, 10:55 AM

I'm all for elves which is why I don't like Thranduil who disgraces the name.

Anguirel · 01-09-2006, 12:28 PM

Not in my view, no more than Thingol, or Eol, or Maeglin do. One of the major parts of my interest in Elves is the morally ambiguous, unpredictable, Faerie side. I like Elves who are more dangerous and less wise...
