Um, just to let you know, if we continue on this course and kill Elrond, Sauron, and the other "worthy" contestants, and keep the minor characters alive, this game is going to suddenly get really really boring towards the end.

Seriously. Think about it.

The major characters have a lot of stuff written about them, thus endless possibilites for finding both real and humorous reasons to attack and defend them. If we cut the great down until we're left with minor characters, what kind of lame game would that be?

There's only so much you can say about minor characters. We're going to find ourselves in the position of trying to come up with arguments derived from just a few lines of text. That means the arguments won't be very long, and there won't be as many variations.

Sauron and Elrond, on the other hand- you can practically write a book either for or against them.

Don't we want to save the best for last?

Ah, but it's probably too late to save them anyway. The foolish masses have already spoken.
