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

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.

++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!

Your petition is acceptable. As is your choice of candidate for removal. The less reasons the better, I think, as it annoys the phantom.

Because he was only a standard-bearer. A mere functionary.

I am disappointed that you have sunk to this level. I think it is time someone challenged you, SPM.

Actually, I'm considering cutting the apparatchniks and going straight for "Annatar".

It would be a blow to pompous, over-mighty Maiar all over the place...

But I'll only act if sufficient interest is shown.

Phantom made me get online just to do this. Not that I mind. I, too, am a big Elrond fan. So to save him...

You should, and thanks for your help.

Now we will await the other members of the League.
