++Gloin

Between him and Gimli, he's more useless. And the dragons are a lot more impressive.

littlemanpoet · 08-27-2006, 04:08 PM

++ Celebrian

So there. A whole lot of (1) votes. Lessee which one takes off today.....

The 1,000 Reader · 08-27-2006, 04:30 PM

++Celebrain.

Like I said, her only claim to fame was getting captured while foolishly wandering the wilderness of Middle-Earth.

+ + Goldberry

How many times do we have to say it? Goldberry is a bad example to all young girls and should be the most reviled character here. Tolkien didn't write enough about Celebrian to make her look as bad as Goldberry. Celebrian may need to go and I'll vote for her should her bandwagon look more likely to succeed, but it's more fair to get this simpering example of domestic brainlessness out of the way first.

Also, with all the complaining about interesting characters and bad guys going first, why leave Goldberry around? She's everything interesting is not. Plus, she's from the MW for all you haters out there. She's the perfect candidate.

mormegil · 08-27-2006, 09:10 PM

Wilwa, shouldn't Celebrian be off as the vote was tied and Celebrian was the first to reach it?

++Goldberry

Blueberry...maybe but not a gold one.

Boromir88 · 08-27-2006, 10:04 PM

morm, the vote was 9-8 -Durin receiving the most - (if I haven't recounted wrong 3 times). It was 9-8 with Celebrian having the most, but Mac retracted his vote for Celebrian and voted for Durin, which flips the score. (Good job Mac

)

Gurthang · 08-27-2006, 10:40 PM

Yes, I see you all have kept with my wishes and my two dragon friends are still sitting where I left them. Now, on to business.

++Celebrian

The only reason I'm picking her over Goldberry is that I know less about the Second Age than I do about Tolkien's Minor Works. I'm so logical, it's scary.

Diamond18 · 08-27-2006, 10:47 PM

Due to Mac, Morm, and Boro's comments I checked over the thread.

Edit: Ignore what was posted here before. I recounted again and Morm actually was right.

Unless I'm really missing something, the score should be:

Celebrian: 8
Durin: 8

This is how it went (leader bolded)

Menel > Gloin (Gloin 1)
Gil > Elbereth (Gloin 1, Elbereth 1)
Boro > Durin (Gloin 1, Elbereth 1, Durin 1)
Morm > Goldberry (Gloin 1, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 1)
Diamond > Goldberry (Gloin 1, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 2)
Reader > Celebrian (Gloin 1, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 1)
LMP > Gloin (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 1)
Esty > Celebrian (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 2)
Mac > Gimli (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 2, Gimli 1)
Bethberry > Celebrian (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 3, Gimli 1)
SPM > Celebrian (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 4, Gimli 1)
Diamond < Goldberry > Celebrian (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 1, Celebrian 5, Gimli 1)
Mac < Gimli > Celebrian (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 1, Celebrian 6)
Kuru > Celebrian (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 1, Celebrian 7)
Firefoot > Goldberry (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 1, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 7)
Nogrod > Durin (Gloin 2, Elbereth 1, Durin 2, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 7)
Menel < Gloin > Durin (Gloin 1, Elbereth 1, Durin 3, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 7)
Gil < Elbereth > Celebrian (Gloin 1, Durin 3, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 8)
Glirdan > Durin (Gloin 1, Durin 4, Goldberry 2, Celebrian 8)
Firefoot < Goldberry > Durin (Gloin 1, Durin 5, Goldberry 1, Celebrian 8)
Celuien > Durin (Gloin 1, Durin 6, Goldberry 1, Celebrian 8)
Morm < Goldberry > Celebrian (Gloin 1, Durin 6, Celebrian 9)
LMP < Gloin > Durin (Durin 7, Celebrian 9)
Mac < Celebrian > Durin (Durin 8, Celebrian 8)

Edit: changed to:

So either Celebrian should have gone instead of Durin or they both should have gone.
