++Fangorn

For alienating the ent-wives and thus dooming his own species.

Celuien · 03-21-2006, 07:13 PM

I don't see Eomer here. Here's my chance, though I'll probably pay for it later.

++FANGORN

Now, there's a difference between not being hasty and being painfully, terribly slow. Fangorn falls on the painfully slow end of the spectrum. Despite the attacks on the forest by Saruman and his creatures, he never would have done a thing about it if not for Merry and Pippin's arrival. Ostensibly, his job was to guard the forest from non-plant life. But it was only the persuasion of the definitely non-plant Hobbits that finally got him to do his job. What kind of steward is that? Yavanna would be very disappointed, I think.

Oh, and I can't support a Fan of the Gorn. I stand with Kirk.

It looks like we might finally be rid of the great leafy bore. It's about time.

I voted for him a few pages ago. Here's what I said-

Quote:

This is what Treebeard said to Merry and Pippin in the chapter entitled "Treebeard"-

Quote:

But if I had seen you, before I heard your voices- I liked them: nice little voices; they reminded me of something I cannot remember- if I had seen you before I heard you, I should have just trodden on you, taking you for little Orcs, and found out my mistake afterwards.

The only reason Treebeard didn't squash Merry and Pippin immediately was that he thought their voices were cute. That doesn't sound very nice to me.
-----------------------------------
I hate people who take to long to get to the point, and so I am very much anti-ent to begin with. And then consider, how much good do ents really do? Except for once every few thousand years they don't do anything of value. And they aren't even decent enough chaps to travel with their wives, but instead they just let them wander off to meet their fate alone.

+ + Treebeard

Heh heh... How much you want to bet he's made from extremely slow burning wood?

OFFICIAL NOTICE OF LENGTHENED DAY:

Due to the Barrow-downs having been down these past few hours, this Day will remain open to voting for a goodly number of hours, probably in the are of 15-20, until such time as I can end it.

Don't worry Treebeard, I still love you.

He could defeat anyone on that list in a fight. All he needs to do is step on them.

Let the Ent depart then; but let the ants fight among themselves for this dainty.

Lhunardawen · 03-24-2006, 02:19 AM

Your honesty is astounding, Moderadacil.

Lalaith · 03-24-2006, 04:50 AM

Oh, btw, to avoid vote-voiding, my wife-kitchen reference was actually the reason I gave for voting off Elendil in post 457. But the reasoning still holds as we are never told the name of Elros' wife....
There was clearly something weird going on in that family. The eldest boy, born to be king, abdicates instead. The only girl is called "daughter of twilight", and that's all we know about her. We don't know much about the two younger boys, either. I think Elros got very depressed by his decision to be mortal and infected his children with his gloom.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-24-2006, 07:54 AM

There are (I think) currently 6 votes for Narvi and 4 votes for Elros, although Gil-Galad’s vote for Narvi is questionable, to put it mildly.

Anyone else fancy altering the dull way this day is going and changing (or changing back) their vote to Celeborn? I’ll kick us off.

+ + CELEBORN

Previous reasoning applies.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-26-2006, 03:07 AM

I already did.

But thanks for the heads-up.

Lhunardawen · 03-26-2006, 03:27 AM

++CELEBoRn(IAN)

For reasons I've already stated, aeons ago.

And because Anguirel is away. Hush, okay? Tell him I voted for Celebrian and he's merely seeing an illusion if he thinks otherwise.

Save Tar-Miriel!

Lalaith · 03-26-2006, 04:14 AM

Whoops, sorry, Nilp, I thought that was part of yesterDay's voting.
