Yay! Perfect! Vote Khamul!

Quote:

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.

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.

What?? An unforgivable oversight.

Right.

I declare:

Sauron Baggins

The Witchroarer

and Khamwise "The Camel" Gamgee all demonically cunningly disguised Hobbits of the Shire.

Stop them, Downers, ere they consume Middle-earth! Also, Saucey will burst into tears when we evict them! Guaranteed!

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.

Lhuna, listen not to the spawn.

Ouch! I was just asking her a question.

Gil-Galad's fall was engineered by the supporters of Khamul

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.

Anguirel · 03-09-2006, 11:07 AM

You do yourself an injustice, phantom! Everyone will surely flock to follow your vote! Please leap to my side.

Besides, though Lalaith won't break the Alliance, I think she might just abstain in this situation.

I assure you that the newly dubbed hobbit is beloved of your foes. Strike Khamul!

the phantom · 03-09-2006, 11:10 AM

All right. Since I don't care too much, I suppose it would make sense for me to lend my vote to someone who does care.

To force a tie....
- - Ohtar
+ + Khamul

Eomer and Gil- it's a guarantee at this point that your candidates aren't going to be killed. If it's all the same to you, see if you can keep Khamul even with Celeborn if Celeborn pulls ahead, if for no other reason than Sauce so obviously wants Celeborn to get more votes than Khamul.

Kuruharan · 03-09-2006, 11:25 AM

The Diamond-encrusted one speaks sense...and she has the good taste to cite a work of literature that I participated in.

++ Celeborn

Ang, have you ever read The Art of War? There are a few good points therein you could profit by...particularly at the end of the first chapter relating to estimates and calculations.
