The Hobbit Survivor

[WaynetheGoblin]

get rid of belledona took because she will win if she gets to the end.

[Kuruharan]

she will win if she gets to the end.

That's the general idea.

You probably really shouldn't waste your time on those two. Their ears (to say nothing of brains) are too waxed up with their narrow-minded dwarfism to pay any attention to anything else. They'll just continue to clatter and foam. What we need to do is find some way of lobbying new voters... Any ideas?

[Formendacil]

I'm with Sauce... Way back in the "good ole days" of Survivor: LotR, there were numerous complaints of the boringness of Hama there at the end: imagine the complaints should we end up with three Dwarves!

++ Kili

Let's "kili" him.

[Elu Ancalime]

++Kili

He would want to go, with his uncle and his brother will follow him.

D.A.I.N. says (a bit of collectivism) that while the ratio of dwarves to others drops, the ratio of female to male needs to be more equal. It should follow the dwarven ratio of 1:3.

I say:

Longbeards
Bombur
Fili
Gloin
Kili

Tribe of Venus
Belladonna Took

Clan of Idlesmen
Eagle Lord
Roac
Elrond
Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor)
Smaug
Chief Warg

Operation Olog
Tom
William
________
Extreme Vaporizer

Harsh words strongly spoken, Master Dwarf. I am, in fact, not prejudiced against any race in particular. As I have made clear almost from the outset, my aim is for a balanced final, rather than the all-Dwarf final that you no doubt hope for.

Well now it's three for Kili. And I am sure that Ang will see the sense in swapping one Dwarf for another with his vote. If so, you can save Belladonna by voting for Kili.

And as an added sweetener, I will pledge to join you in your quest to vote off Tom tomorrow. With Dwarfish numbers down, I will be happy to pare the Trolls down to one. Much as I like them, two does seem rather indulgent.

and vise versa!

++Belladonna Took

Fili and Kili are teh best of the Dwarven tribe. These are of young, strong stock, ones capable of taking over from the deseesed Balin and leading teh Dwarven race toward unparrallelled successes. If it's a Dwarf you want, take the incompitent Bombur, all he thinks of is food and sleep. (He is the one vote that i could actually sanction in good conscience).

[arcticstorm]

I believe that it will be reshuffled as so
Children/adoptees of Illuvitar
Elrond
Fili
Kili
Belladonna Took
Bullroarer
Bombur
Gloin

Abominations/creatures
Smaug
Tom
Bert
Roac
Eagle Lord
Chief Warg

as for my vote, i am voting for the hobbit woman as i know she will com e int he way of my final choice for victory, but i will not give you a naem because that wouldbe too hasty

Ah-ah-ah. This is utter nonsense. Your activities have had a disproportionately negative impact on one particular race. That would qualify under the definition for many of the professors under whom I have studied. In fact, they would be apoplectic.

I'm surprised your loyerly training even allowed you to make such a statement.

rather than the all-Dwarf final that you no doubt hope for.

On the contrary, I could tell from the beginning that no dwarf would win this thing. There were too many of them in the beginning (and this included a number of rather strange entrants in my opinion). This would set people against them from the start and certain people could be counted on to carry this out to extremes *cough*Elu Ancalime*cough* (among others). The momentum against them would ultimately prove insurmountable, everyone would have just gotten into the habit by the end.

So, being ever the realist, I decided to run some numbers and I scientifically calculated (using geological and scatological methods) that Belladonna Took was a shoe in for the victory. I remain confident because it should now be painfully apparent to even the most rabid dwarfist that their unreasoning crusade is not going to gain any traction this day. If they wish to cast a meaningful vote, they are going to have to come up for air from the watery depths of their obsessions and make a decision.

If you are really so interested in balance, then you should switch your vote to Tom because, since this is Hobbit survivor, it is only just to give them the greatest chance of winning in the end (especially given the fact they were rather underrepresented in the beginning). At this moment this means saving two hobbits.
