Well she birthed one rather horrible son and died. Hur husband used the opening and remarried. - I really don't see why she deserves any points.

Now that was not nice at all. But I said that above - aside from deserving to be pitied, as a character, she is not the one whom I would nominate for a winner.

All right, but what now? Yes - hurt Túrin and Thuringwethil (the guy with pitiful fate and the overrated bat who may be an interesting character to work upon if you were ever to write a fanfiction, but who is really not that impressive by itself) and heal Thingol.

I was going to double-hurt Ulmo as a just revenge for the slighting of my kin, but now it seems my wrath has found a worthier aim.

Seriously, Thuringwethil is mentioned in one pitiful line.

What good is there in Miriel anyway? Bit if you like her, keep her.

Hmm.. Silm game doesn't seem as exciting as the LOTR one. I like Silm and have read it several times, but I don't have strong likes and dislikes for Silm characters as I do for LOTR ones… I haven't realized it before, but I don't really care for any of them. Am I the only one?

I said something a bit similar in the beginning, although I cannot relate wholeheartedly to what you say. It's more like that I just don't have that strong likes nor dislikes for Sil characters, indeed, it's not that I don't care at all, and also there are people I am really fond of, but it simply is not as strong as with the LotR (and Hobbit) characters. I think it's just natural in the way that the Sil is not that much about characters, it's primarily a mythology, only with some specific cases (like Beren and Lúthien's tale, and several recurring characters like Thingol or some sons of Fëanor) and tales from the UT and of course the most after the edition of CoH it's better. The CoH actually was a major blow, at last it helped me to feel many of the characters as really far closer to me, otherwise, they were a bit... distant. To sum it up, the Sil's main strength lies not with the characters, but in something else, while LotR relies strongly on the characters.

Anyway, /end thoughtful rant

Hurt Míriel and Azaghal (in order to call Groin Redbeard to participate in this game ), heal Thingol.
