Survivor: The Second Age - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It wasn't my intention to engage in a debate about the game results. There is little point since it is over, and the winner has been crowned, and there is no chance of changing the result. So since you keep belaboring the point I read it as the ranting of a sore loser rather than anything really mirthful. I meant "childish" in the "a child throwing a fit" sense rather than the more pleasant connotations of the word. Which somewhat brings out the stern librarian in me, hence why I bothered posting about it.

As far as blowing up the island, you may wrestle the game away from all the others who have played it and turn it into your own private RPG, regardless of the vote counts, but really, where is the good taste in that?

The little old lady/children comment was a tongue-in-cheek reference to phantom's analogy, which I disagreed with, in case you misunderstood and took me seriously.

Not a debate, just an opinion. I just think that she was undeserving so I'm expressing my opinion in a mirth-based way, just as you are "celebrating." As you are a "stern librarian" I am a "stern boss." I have no wish to make any sort of game from that comment, I was simply making a response. Finally, I knew very well that Phantom made that comment, I just simply felt the need to respond to that "dig."

Let's just end this discussion now to avoid flames and whatnot.

(That Crusoe guy also has a stick that shoots fire. Combined with his deadly "beer" he could enter a rampage at any moment and burn the forest. Run from the island before you fall to the "Euro pean.")

Oh, am I too late, did the party break up?
Tar Miriel was my fave from the start, I have to confess. Where is Nilp, btw? I would have expected him to be hanging out the bunting, for sure....

I am not wholly displeased by this result, though Celebrimbor and Celeborn, the two rivals, were my main candidates. By Form's mercy Celebrimbor is second, at least. And after my Smaug triumph I suppose I owe Lalaith a chance to revel in victory.

So all power to Tar-Miriel. Pull out the stopper, let's have a whopper. And appropriately enough

God Save The Queen

Ah, thank you sir, most magnanimous of you, and welcome back. Sorry about helping to vote off Celeborn, but needs must, when milady Miriel was beset by eviction threats.

Anguirel · 04-11-2006, 05:46 AM

I have the satisfaction of knowing the anti-Celebornists were only able to take him down by cravenly waiting for my absence...another moral victory for Celeborn, just like LOTR...

Glug glug. Now to the Minor Works...

Celuien · 04-11-2006, 06:55 AM

Ah, well, I guess I can join the celebration. My preference would have been for Celeborn, Galadriel or Celebrimbor (in that order), but Tar-Miriel isn't so bad. I tried my best, but was outflanked by superior forces.

Pass that champagne over here, Ang.

It was quite shameless of us, but thank you for going on vacation anyway.
