Imagine how things would have been, if he at a party in Valinor casually had mentioned to the Elves that the race of men would appear at some point. . .

Day 3 wasn't quit as exciting as the first 2 days of All Star Survivor, but the votes were very close:

Celebrimbor - 4
Sauron - 1
Tar-Miriel -1
Tom Bombadil - 5
Arwen - 1
Manwe - 2

At the end of the day it was Tom Bombadil that received the most votes.

Tom stood up and walked away from his tribe. As he pranced away singing.........nothing terrible happened because he's one of my favorite characters. He just hopped a long singing happily, only slightly disappointed, and lived happily ever after.



Thus ends Day 3!

Remaining contestants:

From the Lord of the Rings Survivor
Merry
Gimli
Hama
Gandalf
Arwen

From the Silmarillion Survivor
Maglor
Sauron
Elbereth
Osse
Manwe
Ingwe

From the Hobbit Survivor
Smaug
The Bullroarer
Gloin
Durin
Bofur

From the Second Age Survivor
Tar-Miriel
Celebrimbor
Celebrian
Thorondor
Tar-Aldarion
Ar-Pharazon

From the Minor Works Survivor
Chrysophylax Dives
Goldberry
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Perry-the-Winkle
Princess Pam

***************************************

You may now start voting!

I'm going on a little road trip with my family tomorrow, though we are leaving early in the morning, and I should be back in time, just wanted to warn you incase the plan changes and I end up being late.

Is there actually any point in me voting for Maglor again? I can see that there are enough fans, I can't for the life of me understand why, but enough exist that he may be the favorite out there.

I could go with any bandwaggon getting rid of the minor works characters asap... Let's have a couple of double lynches first and continue the game then? We'll have to do away with them anyhow sooner or later, right? Or could someone of you really think of one of them as the winner?

Well, I agree with almost all of the minor characters getting the boot. But I think we should keep Goldberry around just a little longer. But I still want to get rid of Arwen (curse the usurper!) and Maglor...

Imagine you are the King of the Gods. You live high on Taniquetil. You are the Lord of the airs. You are both wise and powerful. You have a force of eagles over in Middle-Earth which allow you to intervene practically everywhere you desire in the nick of time. You even have a fancy sceptre. Shouldn't you be loved and praised and be called upon by all free peoples?

Yet...

The only ones who ever called upon you were some retarded* oathtakers and a bad marksman who clearly inhaled too much of the fumes of Thangorodrim. No matter how many people your eagles save, in danger they will call for the help of your wife, who did little more than to kindle some faraway stars. In fact, they will rather cry the name of a former immortal who's dead since millennia to come for their help.

This guy depresses me.

I'm going to stick with my Silmarillion schtick.

Macalaure's right about Manwe's always wife being favoured. In fact, most of the guys on Taniquetil seem to have this problem of being overshadowed by their wives. The eagles just don't dare enough. Wussies!

Do you have any particular reason for wishing to save Alf? If not, I would ask you to bear in mind my decisive support for Maglor ...

No particular reason but it is enjoyable to see people believing I care for him. That's right I have no particular affinity with him other than his evicition means Merry doesn't go today but I can get rid of Sauron so as to save Alf if needs be.

Yes I remember your support but I believe you remember some 'aid' I rendered to you and yours on a particular game that may have been pivotal at times.
