You can't beat huuuman natuuure...

Firefoot, the illogicality and prejudice of the phantom's position (that the Noldor are wonderful and superior and should not be touched -oh, except Galadriel, of course 'cos she's a girlie - while most of the rest can go and hang) is frankly not worth responding to.

Kuruharan · 03-07-2006, 11:01 AM

...to cast a vote in an effort for a double lynching...errr...I mean eviction. Did I say "lynching?" What on earth would possess me to say that?

++ Isildur

CHAOS REIGNS SUPREME!!!

EDIT: Something nobody else has mentioned is that Isildur was a notorious Warg hunter.

Anguirel · 03-07-2006, 11:04 AM

I am prepared to change my vote to Isildur if, and only if, the mighty Lord Celeborn, husband of the gorgeous Galadriel, both of whom are far greater in station than Elrond, is threatened...

My adventures Amanda-seeking in Eregion are following shortly.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-07-2006, 11:28 AM

- - Celeborn + + Ohtar
Because, since it seems to be either Isildur
or Ohtar, consider Capt. Jack Aubrey's advice to
his officers when he was chasing that Frenchie
warship around South America

Actually, it was an American ship...they didn't tell Hollywood that though...

--SAURON, ++ISILDUR

I don't have much to say against the poor chap, except that he is an elder son. And we all know that the youngest son is always superior.

Okay, it's transparent that I'm doing this with an Ulterior Motive in mind.

Now, what you've all been waiting for...

(We see Eregion. It is evening. Everywhere there is the sound of clinking of tiny hammers and cunning tools. As Agent Anguirel comes into view, walking down a busy highway, we see piles of rings everywhere, bejewelled and pretty.)

ANGUIREL: Apparently, the Elves are forging many rings.

CELEBRIMBOR: (appearing from side-street) That's right, sir! Would you like to view our fine half-price selection?

ANGUIREL: Well...

CELEBRIMBOR: Investing in ring bonds is very wise in the current business climate, sir. Annatar Consultants Limited recently published a report that defied all the expectations of our outdated political establishment! To that end we're striving to evict Celeborn from his stupid foresty palace.

ANGUIREL: Right. Well...ah...this Annatar chappy...Gil-Galad seemed to think he might be Sauron...?

CELEBRIMBOR: What an absurd idea! Frankly, sir, when you met the High King, did he seem very credible to you?

ANGUIREL: Well, no.

CELEBRIMBOR: Was he, in fact, sober?

ANGUIREL: Well, no.

CELEBRIMBOR: Look, I'll introduce you to Annatar. Charming chap...

(Cut to Annatar Consultants Limited Head Office.)

ANGUIREL: So, Mr. Annatar, you've explained your gift-giving strategies to shareholders but can you refute accusations of Orc sweatshop labour?

SAURON: Those allegations are nonsense! Surely my alliance with Gwaith-I-Mirdain Orc-Slayers PLC should disprove that rubbish.

ANGUIREL: Well, maybe. And did a Miss Amanda Bobblehead pass through this way?

SAURON: Yes, of course! I mean...wait...no. Miss Bobblehead never came near Eregion and has definitely not been kidnapped by the secret army of Orcs I don't have and taken to Mordor, which I don't own.

ANGUIREL: Right. Thanks for your help.

(Next episode: Anguirel heads to Mordor by the first Assignment Express.)

Kuruharan · 03-08-2006, 08:36 AM

Oaths I have taken!

I must fulfill them, etc., etc.

++ Gil-Galad

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-08-2006, 08:39 AM

Lhuna will hate this.

the phantom · 03-08-2006, 09:20 AM

Hmm...

I have about the same desire to keep Khamul as I have to keep Gil, so neither represents a victory or defeat.

So who should I vote for?

Well, it seems there are several people who hate elves in general, and particularly want the Noldor to be defeated. This confuses me, because there is not a reason to be against the Noldor and the elves more than any other group.

So, simply to resist this foolishness, I will cast my vote for
+ + Khamul

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 03-07-2006, 11:51 AM

Ohtar? Seriously, give the poor guy a break. He's the only one from the Tribe of Elendili who successfully did what he was supposed to do: rescue the shards of Narsil. What did Isildur do? Yeah, left his three sons to die, run off with the Ring and dropped it into Anduin. Well, that's great.

Aragorn seemed to be quite happy carrying the shards around. He'd be appalled to see how you vote!

++ISILDUR

So much for the tie, Master Dwarf.

Thinlómien · 03-07-2006, 12:00 PM

++Isildur
I've never liked him.
