Survivor: The Second Age - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

So, Kuru and SP, you want to immediately vote off someone who has done great and terrible things? And here I always thought you two were intelligent.

If we continue voting off the big names we will be left with naught but weak, little known characters, around which it is difficult to find real reasons to rally, and the game will become less of a battle of Middle Earth characters and more of a silly and ridiculous shouting match between Barrow-Downs members.

But if that is indeed what you want, go ahead and support the ugly beer-slopping Durin III over the great and powerful Ar Pharazon.

And Eomer, you seriously want Treebeard to win? Come now- the day an Ent wins a popularity contest is the day the world will end.

Who said anything about continue? A few of us want to see the back of A-P, for what seems to be an eclectic set of motives. That's all. Plenty of big names left after he's gone, the great golden fraud.

Exactly!!!

We don't call it the Alliance of DOOM for nothing.

The game is about vendettas, not characters.

Sigh.

--DURIN III TEDIUMHELM

Allow me to gently suggest that, in a co-operative attempt to stop these power-tipsy demagogues, those who wish to foster actual literary debate unite against a third, anodyne candidate?

++FUINUR

You know it makes sense...

Sure, Lalaith, there are other big names after A-P is gone, but he is one of the biggest and the baddest. A-P was the most powerful ruler of the entire second age! This is "Survivor: The Second Age", isn't it? Then how can you get rid of the Second Age's biggest dictator this early? That's stupid.

How absurd. If this game isn't about the characters, then I hardly think it qualifies as being Middle Earth related, and therefore the thread should be deleted by The Barrow-Wight.

If you want to be foolish and make the game vendetta driven, just generate a list of random names like "Bob" and "John" and don't even bother pretending that the process is somehow Tolkien related.

Nah. That's tactics.

That may be true, but it does not make what I have said untrue, for tactics other than my own are, without a doubt, stupid.

Nothing tactical about a straightforward charge towards someone you don't like!

Ah, my system wasnae perfect, but the narrative stuff would have protected poor Goldie in the early days...

For being tacky, and because bandwaggoning is fun!

Eonwe · 02-28-2006, 01:57 PM

I can see I'm gonna have a tough time of it here in the Second Age. I could see half of the contestents winning...

HOWEVER, there are some, namely

++Durin III,

that are less endearing than others...
