I'd rather evict him if he had humps.

Let me get this straight, you guys vote for Khamûl because when it's pronounced wrong, his name somewhat resembles the word camel. Well, that's just clever. I mean really, it must be the best reason I've ever heard.

Yeah, like he said.

Now, how did it go again? 'Don't hate the game, hate the player', or something like that.

I'm sorry for your loss, but it's hardly Khamûl's fault that Gil-Galad got voted off yesterday. You Khamûl voters could have saved the Elf King by voting for Celeborn then. Like this:

++Celeborn

Lhuna, yesterday you said:

"I'll willingly detract my vote for Khamûl if you help me get rid of Celeborn"

Well, wouldn't this be a good chance to get rid of him?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 03-09-2006, 07:10 AM

Ah Kuruharan, since you and your faction cannot buy me you mock me with snide words. Such a childish strategy will do you no good.

Anguirel · 03-09-2006, 07:45 AM

Lhuna, listen not to the spawn.

Gil-Galad's fall was engineered by the supporters of Khamul. They must suffer as a result.

Besides, attacking Celeborn is an orthodox and boring to do.

You'll see the same tired arguments coming out.

"He doesn't do much." To which I say, he's too cool to lower himself by getting involved in the plot.

"He's not as pretty as his wife." And your point is? The Queen isn't as pretty as Rosamund Pike; does that mean we should execute her?

"He's a Sinda and we don't need them around." You are a follower of the phantom. Allow yourself to be convinced that pan-Noldorism is counterproductive.

"He's got a stupid Quenya name." He was given a stupid Quenya name at a time when Tolkien was committing such errors as to declare Galadriel morally unambiguous.

"I'm swayed by Saucie's sequence of pictures." Read it from Celeborn's point of view. A decent host suffering a rather trying marriage.

To all Elf-sympathisers-in the words of Russellus Croweus Maximus Australianus, "the only chance we have of getting out of this place alive is if we stay together."

To all individualists-voting Khamul is a rare opportunity to annoy Saucie and the phantom at the same time...

JennyHallu · 03-09-2006, 07:46 AM

Yay! Perfect! Vote Khamul!

We have backup!

It is, as I have made clear on numerous occasions, no skin off my nose who goes. So to attempt to annoy me in this contest is a fruitless task.

I'm all for annoying the phantom and his Noldorian superiority complex, as and when the occasion presents itself, but today is not such a day.

And it has to be said that annoying you, Ang, is a most entertaining endeavour.

For some reason, Wolfman Sauce, I've never quite trusted your word on that. Oh! Do I hear the squeals of Pippin in my ears? How odd...

Besides, my contacts and researchers have it differently.

Now I'm happy to admit when I'm annoyed. Some people in this world have a sense of justice.

The vote has sung the so-called Alliance's tune long enough!

I don't see Pippin's name on the roster. Nor indeed that of any Hobbit.

Then your intelligence is either faulty or it has been "sexed up" to make it more palatable to you. Unfortunately, both rather common shortcomings in intelligence these days.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 03-09-2006, 08:34 AM

Anguirel, you try to be original and an individual so hard that you don't leave yourself much scope. If your vote depends on the amount of people who will get annoyed, it's hardly very independent.

Ouch! I was just asking her a question.

Your bright logics dazzle me, my good sir.

Isn't it obvious that if one doesn't want Khamûl to go, he or she votes for someone else. Usually the vote goes to a candidate who already has votes and thus makes the saving of, in this case, Khamûl possible.

It could have been Celeborn...

Anguirel · 03-09-2006, 08:37 AM

Well, unless you haven't noticed, that's scarcely a very tempting prospect to me either...

You lot can be sanctimonious about annoying people, because you're fighting the easy battle...

the phantom · 03-09-2006, 11:01 AM

Well, Ang, if it'll make you happy I'll vote for Khamul and force a tie for now. Since neither is a character that I think deserves to win, I wouldn't be terribly disappointed to see them both gone.

But Kuru and Lalaith haven't voted yet, and we know who they will vote for, so I don't really see the point.

Unless you can talk a few others into it like Eomer and Gil, my vote for Khamul wouldn't matter in the least.
