Amandil: I
Amdír: I
Elros: I

Those remaining:

Tribe of the Noldor:
Ereinion Gil-galad,
Elrond Peredhil
Galadriel
Celebrimbor
Glorfindel

Tribe of the Sindar:
Celeborn

The book Anthem and in paticular objectionalism says that if Herumor and Fuinur had the willpower and sole justification, then they are obliged to dominate weaker willed men, being the Haradrim. Dont hate the peeps, hate the theory.

(not like i belive that personally)

Yes, but Sauron was doing it for militaristic means. Because of their weak will, Sauron was able to use them in a frenzy to beef up his army. The principle is not that Sauron and Heremor and Fuiner were too weak to dominate anybody else, but they were smart enough to realize that theese people would listen to one who seemed supernatural(i.e. maia and Numenoreans)

As the Fourth day of voting drew to an end, it was clear that there was no one, single bandwaggon prevalent. The final distribution of votes is as follows:

Celebrimbor: I
Fuinur: I

Elrond: II

Amdír: IIII
Herumor: IIII

Once again, a King is killed- albeit, since it's Amdír, it's hardly a huge loss. One could almost make the case that since Herumor appears in the Silmarillion, while Amdír only made Unfinished Tales, Herumor is the greater loss.

Either way, they're both gone.

Those remaining:

Tribe of the Noldor:
Ereinion Gil-galad,
Elrond Peredhil
Galadriel
Celebrimbor
Glorfindel

Tribe of the Sindar:

This is the most hilariously awry case launched so far today.

I mean, how many of us can teach their descendants to behave themselves? It's quite tricky when you're a corpse...

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 03-04-2006, 05:22 AM

I feel there's something rotten here. Yes, I'm talking about Glorfindel's decaying remainders. I may not be as well aware of profitable tactics and strategies in this game as the rest of you, but I know one thing: Glorfindel's hardly a survivor.

Just take a look at his achievements:

Well, he managed to take a powder when some baddies came to Gondolin. Very brave. Too bad he got killed by the first enemy that passed his way after it.

Also, he was able to sprout some yellow flowers from his deceased body which itself is a nice trick, but really, do we want to watch how grass slowly grows taller on prime time?

To be fair, it is said that Glorfindel pulled a balrog with him as he fell off a cliff after a fight. But then again, what's so great in a battle that ends in a draw? Now, how did it go... a draw means that no-one wins which means that everybody loses. Great. He's officially a loser. Besides, I have my doubts that he even managed to kill the balrog. You see, unlike the balrog, Glorfindel didn't have wings (

) and it's a fact that he ended up dead whereas our balrog, well, after some skydiving he probably just fluttered away.

It is also said that without Thorondor, Glorfindel wouldn't have had any chance to beat the enemy he encountered on the mountains (actually, he wasn't able to win even with the eagles). Now that Thorondor has been voted off, I don't see much sense in keeping goldilocks around either. Therefore...

++Glorfindel

Oh, and for those who rely on anagrams when making their decisions on who should leave: Glorfindel = Old elf girn. What do we do with a decrepit complaining chap like him? One of the Noldor or not, I would ask you to consider whether you really want to keep such a wuss around.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 03-04-2006, 06:27 AM

++ERENDIS

Now that her not-so-loving-husband's gone you'd think she'd loosen up a bit; but she's still boring. Moaning, complaining, not having fun. I don't want her on the show, and I don't want to read her awful story ever again.

Anagram? Um...ok: DEER SIN I'm not sure what it means but I guarantee it's bad. String her up!

Formendacil · 03-05-2006, 12:20 AM

The Fifth day of voting drew to an end, one candidate having garnered an overwhelming majority of votes, although the number of players increased. The final distribution of votes is as follows:

Elros: I
Glorfindel: I
Erendis: I
Isildur: I
Sauron:

Elrond: II

Fuinur: IIIII IIII

Fuinur, little known and ill loved, was evicted by the largest vote thus far. Sacrificed for Elrond's sake, he departed the game, never to return (as stated in the rules...).

Those remaining:

Tribe of the Noldor:
Ereinion Gil-galad,

Formendacil · 03-05-2006, 12:26 AM

Attention People, your Moderator has a quick announcement to make...

The past Day started off the great Save Elrond campaign with the Phantom asking Elu Ancalime to explain his vote for Elrond.

Now, in the past couple games, the moderators had requested that all votes be accompanied by some sort of rationale- a rule put in place to stimulate debate.

When I set up this game, I deliberately didn't put any such rule in place. After all, the fun here is the alliances and the arguments and the petty squabling and revenge- right?

Well, maybe or maybe not.

This is, don't forget, a Tolkien-based game. So, I would like to see, if possible, some reasoning, preferably Tolkien-based, no matter how illogical or distorted, to accompany your votes.

This does not mean that votes without a rationale will necessarily be disqualified. As the day just ended shows, a little bit of lack of reasoning CAN stimulate debate and make for an awesome day.

However, just to make it quite clear, if the Moderator (that would be me) so desires, he can and possibly will, disqualify votes lacking a reason- votes such as Elu Ancalime made yesterday.

I might, or I might not. To vote without a rationale, therefore, is a gamble. I advise doing so with caution.

Thank you, you may return to the search for the lovely Amanda.

Anguirel · 03-05-2006, 02:02 AM

Those treacherously removed by the insidious Alliance of Ultra-Doom

Ar-Pharazon
Tar-Aldarion
Amdir

Those cunningly driven out by the Heroic Resistance of Individual Freethinkers

Thorondor
Durin III
Herumor

Those overwhelmed by the League of Extraordinary Barrow-Downers

Fuinur

The balance swings against the Alliance as a powerful new player enters the stage...

But as the Alliance is now in the unlikely position of underdog, it's possible that it will wheedle back some support.

As for me, I shall vote once more for a character I dislike who is, methinks, unlikely to have the League's backing...thereby keeping Individual Freethinking alive...

Down with grasping Maia! Down with cursed jewelry! L'Imagination Au Pouvoir!

Lhunardawen · 03-05-2006, 02:33 AM

How I have erred! Please accept my most humble apologies, Lord Phantom.

I have realized just now why I should keep Elrond around as long as possible. Mostly because of association, admittedly, but I still shouldn't give him my vote before others less worthy of staying in the game are booted out.

With that said, allow me to vote thusly:

++CELEBORN

The Sixth day of voting draws to an end, and despite the appearance of spirited debate, the voting came down heavily behind one candidate. The Noldor, it seems, were to be culled. The final distribution of votes is as follows:

Círdan: I

Erendis: II
Fimbrethil: II

Celeborn: III

Glorfindel: IIIII III

One the favourite "minor" characters in The Lord of the Rings, Glorfindel's popularity did not stretch to the Second Age. With an even half the votes, he was voted off.

Those remaining:

Ereinion Gil-galad,

The Seventh day of voting, despite an originally wide range of candidates, ended up coming down to a contest between two candidates: the Isildur the High King, and his loyal squire, Ohtar (or, should I say, his loyal Ohtar?). Only the kinsmen of the Moderator (if Lhuna is my sister, and Nilp is her brother, and Eomer is brother or cousin, then they're all my kinsmen, right?) remained aloof from the Isildur/Ohtar debate. The final distribution of votes is as follows:

Celeborn: I

Erendis: II

Ohtar: IIIII II

Isildur: IIIII IIII

Despite heavy defence from the Cavaliers, Isildur could not muster enough support to defeat Ohtar, and so went the way of Charles I, and was removed from the Survivor Game.

Those remaining:

Ereinion Gil-galad,
Elrond Peredhil

He's gotten a good press, but consider, he was
Ar-Pharazon's buddy until the king decided he
liked Sauron better. Then Amandil sulked (because
he was no longer the numero uno counsellor? Hmm?)

Quote:

In his youth Amandil was a great friend of Ar-Pharazon, the last king of Nùmenor. Amandil was also famed across Nùmenor for being a great sea-captain in the days of Nùmendil. However when Ar-Pharazon brought the conquered Sauron from Middle-earth, his friendship with Amandil withered.

Formendacil · 03-08-2006, 01:02 PM

The Eighth day of voting, like the Seventh before it, came down to a contest between two candidates: Gil-galad the High King, and the Black Easterling, Khamûl. But once again, the regicidal tendencies of the populace showed through, and despite numerous misspellings of both candidates' names (sorry, Nilp), the voting was as follows:

Elendil: I
Erendis: I

Celeborn: II

Khamûl: IIIII

Gil-galad: IIIII I

To the woe of Lhunardawen, Ereinion Gil-galad was voted off the game, his chances of winning erased.

Those remaining:

Tribe of the Noldor:
Elrond Peredhil
Galadriel
Celebrimbor

Tribe of the Sindar:

Formendacil · 03-09-2006, 10:50 PM

The Ninth day of voting was a furious contest in which the rivalry of the day before, of Gil-galad and Khamûl. Gil-galad may have been gone, but his supporters wanted revenge. Furthermore, another Elf was in danger: Celeborn.
For much of the day, it appeared to be a close race, but in the end there was a clear winner. The voting fell as follows:

Erendis: I
Anárion: I

Celeborn: IIIII II

Khamûl: IIIII IIIII II

And so was Lhunardawen avenged for the death of Ereinion, for Khamûl the Black Eastering was removed with the greatest number of votes yet seen for a candidate.

Not today... but that could be because I personally prefered Celeborn to remain over Khamûl. For the sake of interest, here's how the voting would have fallen, had I followed my more stringent tendencies:

Erendis: I
Ohtar: I

Khamûl: III

Celeborn: IIII

So, you see, good people, that if- one of these days- I should follow my more stringent side, the outcome could be very different. Very different indeed.

Meanwhile, today I did NOT do that. Tomorrow may be different.

Um...ok: DEER SIN I'm not sure what it means but I guarantee it's bad. String her up! __________________ Los Ingobernables de Harlond Last edited by Eomer of the Rohirrim; 03-04-2006 at 06:31 AM.

Posts: 3,328	The Fifth day of voting drew to an end, one candidate having garnered an overwhelming majority of votes, although the number of players increased. The final distribution of votes is as follows: Elros: I Glorfindel: I Erendis: I Isildur: I Sauron: Elrond: II Fuinur: IIIII IIII Fuinur, little known and ill loved, was evicted by the largest vote thus far. Sacrificed for Elrond's sake, he departed the game, never to return (as stated in the rules...). Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Day 6 begins now! Vote as you please. __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.

The past Day started off the great Save Elrond campaign with the Phantom asking Elu Ancalime to explain his vote for Elrond. Now, in the past couple games, the moderators had requested that all votes be accompanied by some sort of rationale- a rule put in place to stimulate debate. When I set up this game, I deliberately didn't put any such rule in place. After all, the fun here is the alliances and the arguments and the petty squabling and revenge- right? Well, maybe or maybe not. This is, don't forget, a Tolkien-based game. So, I would like to see, if possible, some reasoning, preferably Tolkien-based, no matter how illogical or distorted, to accompany your votes. This does not mean that votes without a rationale will necessarily be disqualified. As the day just ended shows, a little bit of lack of reasoning CAN stimulate debate and make for an awesome day. However, just to make it quite clear, if the Moderator (that would be me) so desires, he can and possibly will, disqualify votes lacking a reason- votes such as Elu Ancalime made yesterday. I might, or I might not. To vote without a rationale, therefore, is a gamble. I advise doing so with caution. Thank you, you may return to the search for the lovely Amanda. __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.

But as the Alliance is now in the unlikely position of underdog, it's possible that it will wheedle back some support. As for me, I shall vote once more for a character I dislike who is, methinks, unlikely to have the League's backing...thereby keeping Individual Freethinking alive... Down with grasping Maia!

I have realized just now why I should keep Elrond around as long as possible. Mostly because of association, admittedly, but I still shouldn't give him my vote before others less worthy of staying in the game are booted out. With that said, allow me to vote thusly: ++CELEBORN Teleporno. Need I say more? (Many thanks to Nilp, in LotR Survivor.) Besides, what a wimp he is, letting a woman overshadow him.

Posts: 3,328	The Sixth day of voting draws to an end, and despite the appearance of spirited debate, the voting came down heavily behind one candidate. The Noldor, it seems, were to be culled. The final distribution of votes is as follows: Círdan: I Erendis: II Fimbrethil: II Celeborn: III Glorfindel: IIIII III One the favourite "minor" characters in The Lord of the Rings, Glorfindel's popularity did not stretch to the Second Age. With an even half the votes, he was voted off. Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Day 7 is begun! Vote away! __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.

Posts: 3,328	The Seventh day of voting, despite an originally wide range of candidates, ended up coming down to a contest between two candidates: the Isildur the High King, and his loyal squire, Ohtar (or, should I say, his loyal Ohtar?). Only the kinsmen of the Moderator (if Lhuna is my sister, and Nilp is her brother, and Eomer is brother or cousin, then they're all my kinsmen, right?) remained aloof from the Isildur/Ohtar debate. The final distribution of votes is as follows: Celeborn: I Erendis: II Ohtar: IIIII II Isildur: IIIII IIII Despite heavy defence from the Cavaliers, Isildur could not muster enough support to defeat Ohtar, and so went the way of Charles I, and was removed from the Survivor Game. Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Day 8 is ready to go. The voting may now begin. __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.

Posts: 3,328	The Eighth day of voting, like the Seventh before it, came down to a contest between two candidates: Gil-galad the High King, and the Black Easterling, Khamûl. But once again, the regicidal tendencies of the populace showed through, and despite numerous misspellings of both candidates' names (sorry, Nilp), the voting was as follows: Elendil: I Erendis: I Celeborn: II Khamûl: IIIII Gil-galad: IIIII I To the woe of Lhunardawen, Ereinion Gil-galad was voted off the game, his chances of winning erased. Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Day 9 is ready to go. The voting can start immediately. The tribes of the Sindar and the Elendili lead the race in remaining candidates. __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.
