I second Gorlim and nominate Eilinel (so that he won't be alone)

Legate of Amon Lanc · 02-25-2011, 03:44 AM

I second Brandir and nominate Tuor.

Galadriel55 · 02-25-2011, 06:12 AM

Can you nominate twice? If so, Hour and Emeldir. And a third Turin. And a second Barahir.

If I'm not allowed to do this, just ignore this post.

I second/third/whatever the following- Hurin! Huor! Morwen! Turin!

I nominate- Hador! Marach! Beor! Aradan! Amlach!

Since Urwen hasn't bothered to post the Rules, here's what we worked with last time:

The game starts when 20 contestants have been elected (=nominated, seconded and thirded).*

From 20 to 7 - each player has 3 votes: 2 hurts and 1 heal. Double hurts are allowed.

From 6 to 4 - each player has 3 votes: 2 hurts and 1 heal. Double hurts ar not allowed: a player has to hurt 2 different characters and heal one, or he may use only 1 hurt and 1 heal.

When but 3 characters are left each player has either a hurt or a heal.

Wait for at least three posters to vote prior to you voting again.

[*added by me; these weren't posted on the thread, but that's how we did it, IIRC.]

If you want to change these, Urwen, that's fine of course, this being your thread, but then you should say what your rules are.

Just summing things up...

So, as for now we have for certain, in any case:

Túrin (+2) - the first contestant to be in for sure
Nienor (+1)
Lalaith (+1)
Húrin (+1)
Morwen
Haleth (+1)
Brandir (+1)
Barahir (+1)
Gorlim (+1)
Tuor

And what Pitch said about the rules, that's a good point. Urwen, I think it's basically your call, since it's your thread. If we go by the previous rules, then Urwen's nomination of Eiliniel wouldn't count (but if it's not done, I can as well nominate her). Likewise, in such a case G55 should decide whether she wants to nominate "Hour" or Emeldir (she can do it for one of them, if I am counting right) and she has still one "seconding" of somebody left. Captain Jean-Luc should choose which three out of those four/five to second/nominate.

And when I am at it, I third Haleth, so make it:

Haleth (+2) - the second person to get into the contest for sure.

Also, speaking of it... maybe 20 contestants is a bit too much for us, don't you think? Especially if by Edain we mean just the First-Age Three Houses, then we can basically throw in almost everybody. So maybe the number of contestants could be lowered for this purpose? To, say, 15?
