We don't need two dragons like we don't need chocolate or good music or many other things that are not strictly necessary but do make life better.

True, but chocolate & music don't get in jealous fights that lay waste to the entire island.

Think of the ratings my friend!

Seems that the saving Gandalf mission won't work today, but a try is better than none... And I'll simply keep the lane of not agreeing with morm.

++Gmaug, a greedy creature that gets killed in a useless journey of revenge, just because a hobbit stole his golden cup...

++Smaug

Not only is two dragons one too much, but a sorry excuse of a dragon like Smaug is absolutely superfluous. Dragons, especially flying dragons are a terrible misconception anyway. The bodies of these creatures are fortresses, with the only vulnerable spot being - their belly?? I mean, even if you don't know of it, being unable to kill a flying dragon with a lot of arrows is almost impossible, statistically.
Back to the drawing board, Master Morgoth.

I have decided to vote for:

++ Gandalf the Grey/White aka Mithrandir aka White Rider aka Grey Wanderer aka Grey Fool aka Stormcrow aka Greyhame aka Grey Pilgrim

You're right, he has way to many names.

Votes so far:

Gandalf - 6
Ingwe - 1
Smaug - 4

I would like to have had both of our prime contestans on board but it seems
pretty late now.

And I would say that three dwarwes is a way too much (dwarves: no offence, just too many of you on the game... )

So where is the balance?

(and if one must get rid of one dragon, why on earth get rid of Smaug with its personality?)

Quote:
=Firefoot about Ingwë
He's really not a very interesting sort at all; gets to Valinor and sits at the feet of Manwe blah blah blah.
So as my last desperate attempt, relying at first to Firefoot's accurate description just to get my vote in:

++ Ingwë
