++Belladona Took

Bilbo the buffoon came from her and that in itself is a serious crime.

That Belladonna Took (as Belladonna Baggins, nee Took, daughter of Gerontius shall be henceforth referred to) is guilty of the crime of indecency, as convicted by Justice K.U. Ruharan on evidence presented by F.A.T. regarding a certain "PlayHobbitlass".

That case was thrown out of court due to preponderance of evidence. The charges were also not brought by F.A.T. but by a shadowy group styling themselves Lonely and Desperate (L.A.D.). It seemed they were a string of Belladonna's former boyfriends. Hardly objective witnesses.

Kuruharan the Prophet- a known Enemy of the State, and that her eviction is immediately required to quell his ego.

His Majesty My Avatar...I mean, the Emperor, utterly rejects this scurrilous statement and on this Island he is the state (at least until I find some new tangent to go off on).

Upon appeal to a higher court (presided over by Chief Justice Michael A. Joosten), this ruling was overturned.

I'm afraid, Master "Emperor", that you have no juridiction here that I do not supercede.

Please take note of the name by which I have assumed the throne: Formendacil. In the great tradition of my ancestors, the Kings of Gondor (descended from Luthien- a claim no Dwarf or Easterling- however noble- can make), I have taken the a name based on my conquests. In this particular case that is Formen, meaning North.

And I don't mean some piddly little section of Forochel, but the whole Northern Hemisphere, including any and all territories held by the Ming Dynasty. If you retain any titles at all, it is at my sufferage.

As for the Southern Hemisphere... we'll have all that in a year or two.

Besides, the "incident" with Belladonna and her ridiculous accusations are taking their toll on him. He is no longer the affable buffoon that arrived on the island, but a poor, tortured soul, riven with pain at the thought that such awful claims could be made against him and terrified that they will be believed in the world at large. He should be allowed to depart the Island so that he may clear his besmirched name.

In my eyes, he will (if he goes) leave with his (gnarled and warty) head held high.

Oh dear. Votes as they stand:
Tom 6, Belladonna 6, Gloin 1, William 1.

Dear Glirdan, dear Elu, can we sway you to our cause for today?
I never expect much from the likes Master Morm or That Rune. But you, Celuien, noble froglady? Well, I'm more sad than shocked.

Elu Ancalime · 02-01-2006, 04:10 PM

Well, Lalaith, if I cant have a dwarf evicted, the DAIN ideal is to keep Miss Took, so

His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Hongwu of the Great Ming Empire, Son of Heaven, Lord of Ten Thousand Years

To: The Pretentious Peasant styling himself Formendacil

His Majesty the Emperor has commanded me, His Imperial Majesty’s humble avatar bearer and lowly governor of this flyspeck of an island, to communicate to you a few pertinent points.

A) Your manner is unfit for communicating with His Imperial Majesty, it in fact being something of a capital offense.

Quote:

I have taken the a name based on my conquests.

-and-

including any and all territories held by the Ming Dynasty. If you retain any titles at all, it is at my sufferage.

B) His Imperial Majesty somehow failed to notice your alleged troops knocking about His Imperial Majesty’s dominions any time in the past few centuries. Seeing as how His Imperial Majesty would miss nothing of the sort, His Imperial Majesty thinks that this is nothing more than a whole lot of arrogant bluster. (And it is “sufferance”, not “suffrage.” Unless you are pretending to bestow the right to vote.

)

Quote:

In the great tradition of my ancestors, the Kings of Gondor

C) His Imperial Majesty’s real empire was larger than the fictitious one that could ever be imputed to this barbarian land known as “Gondor.”

Quote:

descended from Luthien- a claim no Dwarf or Easterling- however noble- can make

D) His Imperial Majesty is not particularly bothered that His Imperial Majesty literally rose from peasant straight to emperor. It means that His Imperial Majesty gained all from his accomplishments and did not gain it from a bunch of stuck-up useless slackers who had everything handed to them on a silver platter.

E) His Imperial Majesty seriously doubts that you even possess a proper style and title or could present it fittingly.

F) His Imperial Majesty is pleased to point out that His Imperial Majesty’s portrait makes a really spiffy avatar. His Imperial Majesty doubts that you even possess a portrait in your supposed regal regalia. And even if you did it wouldn’t make a really spiffy avatar.

G) His Imperial Majesty created some pretty potent alliteration based on the letter “p” earlier in this message.

Quote:

At least until it is cut off in the fifth of the Five Punishments.

Glad as always to live up to expectations and you are living up to yours

Now then why should we not wish to evict the annoyance named Belladona? Gender has no sway in my voting. Should men hang on to every man because he's a man? Why must we distinguish and segregate based on gender? This creates inequality in itself. Should Belladona win because she is the only female...give it to her by default.

Far be it from me to bring sadness to you.

However, I will unfortunately have to stand by my vote.

I am not revealing my preferred candidate for the win.
