Yep, that was the right pick. I was hoping you weren't feeling so mirthful and would pick my card, King of the Dead, but ah well...

Well-deserved victory, I say!

My pick, Halls of Mandos, could have been considered funny, random, or sarcastic, but it doesn't reach half as far as Lonely Mountain!

While I picked Weathertop, I probably would have gone with the Lonely Mountain as well.

Sometimes the taters align.

This was one of those times.

Nice pick Gwath!

I sent Merry and was actually a bit disappointed Wilwa didn't even consider picking him... I mean c'mon, he is always playing the second fiddle, and while everyone in the fellowship becomes a person and comes to the fore here and there, Merry is mostly just in the way and tossed here an there - and at the moment of his glory he is forgotten to the battlefield...

But to be honest, there were lots of other good choices to make as well. Although I don't think the Entwives was one. I would say them to be the opposite of neglected or ignored being constantly in the minds of the ents and as the dearest object of their daily longing.
