The question is, do we women possess the strength of character to stand up for good and important characters, no matter what their gender and despite the discrimination of the males here?!

We do!

I checked the list to see which character is most insignificant, and since we already evicted one bear, I choose

++Badger

to go next. Not needed, not helpful, and not nearly as interesting as the Badger in "Wind in the Willows".

Admit it, guys - you're secretly wishing you could dance with the Queen of Faerie!

It was my bandwagon before. Only seems fitting that I return to it.

I suspect they're voting her off exactly because they want to trip the light fantastic with her and can't. How silly.

Bêthberry · 05-13-2006, 08:27 AM

Ham does not belong to Fairie even though he battles a dragon and wields Tailbiter The Sword That Would Not Be Sheathed? Surely it is but a fantasy that swords can never be sheathed--or papal bull!

And now, with that reach, here's my vote: If there were a llama, I'd pick him first, but this annoying one must go.

last longer then BEARS ! But the anti-bear

Between the Queen and the Badger, I'd rather see the Badger go and see all the truly important characters slug it out in the final days.

Diamond18 · 05-13-2006, 11:04 PM

In a cruel twist of irony, if Ang had only voted for QoF instead of Giles, there'd be a double eviction today. But as fate would have it....

Badger: 5 votes

Queen of Faerie: 4 votes

Giles: 1 vote

And so, the badger was eaten by a SNAKE.

Day the Thirty-Second finds 11 characters remaining:

Those Who Belong to Faerie

Goldberry
Fíriel
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Smith of Wootton Major
Queen of Faerie

Those Who Don't

You've all heard my preamble, you've all kept her teetering on the brink. Now it's time for our good friend the queen of faerie to kick the bucket. Protect those characters you really like! Attack the weak one with no allies!

I'm feeling confident today. Today it's going to happen. Today we will see the long-awaited end of

No wishful thinking here, I can assure you. I can think of a lot better candidates for a romantic cheek-to-cheek in Faerie.

And surely all these so-called "feminists" cannot approve of her behaviour ...

Estelyn Telcontar · 05-14-2006, 06:09 AM

"Off with their heads!"

I agree with Alcarillo - let's keep the important characters for the finale. I am willing to sacrifice a female character, but let's take one with a less central role. Now, this is Mother's Day, so I will not vote for Nell, who is a mother. But we could do without Fíriel - she'll have to be forcibly dug out of the mud, of course, but with our concerted effort we should manage that. Therefore:

++Fíriel

Bêthberry · 05-14-2006, 08:03 AM

I think this allegation about voting by gender lies in the eye of the beholder. I certainly haven't been voting by gender and was one of the first to suggest we reform Princess Mee by teaching her a little independence.

And perhaps it is time to allow Fíriel to take that road not taken.

+ + Fíriel

Anguirel · 05-14-2006, 11:08 AM

Everyone, remember the money you've shelled out on Mother's Day cards? The breakfasts you've cooked, usually burning everything?

Mother's Day is a cynical capitalist invention playing upon the guilt of broken families in a world where consumerism has usurped filial kindness.

It is thus all the more appropriate that we now evict

++NELL

As a close follower of the proceedings

I can attest that was the guys who brought feminism up in the first place and are the ones talking about it more than anyone. It's taken a few days for anyone to pay attention to them and respond on the subject. I was starting to wonder.

One day, Ang, you'll hit on the right way to evict Nell. I'll be waiting.

Diamond18 · 05-14-2006, 11:09 PM

It would seem that Fíriel's reluctance to get on the last ship was foolhardy, since no one wanted her around anyway:

Fíriel: 5 votes

Queen of Faerie: 3 votes

Gram: 1 vote

And so, Fíriel was fed to the dragon, like many before her, and his burp was poetic.

I could vote with the block voting majority, or I could (as I have done so far) attempt to put forward alternative, more controversial, candidates. Either way, my actions have little effect on the outcome.

And so each day proceeds with a tedious inevitability towards the predictably tedious final outcome.

In such circumstances, the incentive for me to vote reduces each day to the point where I ask myself: "What is the point?" That point I have now reached.

This show has no controversy whatsoever. Hence, the ratings are tumbling. As one of the initial backers, I think it best that I simply cut my losses.

Of course, if there is any hint of an upset, I reserve the right to return ...

The problem with saying this, is that it ain't true. The game has more regular and semi-regular participants at this point than ever before. If anything it started out with low ratings and has steadily climbed. I readily accept your other reasoning, that you don't feel your votes are counting for anything and there's no point for you to keep voting the way you want to. But I don't see why your personal feelings of boredom have to be the rule for everyone else.

I speak of the viewers, not just the active participants. This is a television show, isn't it? Can you imagine how dull it is for the poor unwashed masses to have such predictable outcomes each day?

Besides, if I'm bored, I like to make sure everyone knows about it. I'm like a child that way.

Anyways, today looks to be shaping up as potentially interesting. I shall keep one eye on the proceedings ...

You're all nuts.

Literally. Diamond is a brazil nut, SPM is a walnut, Anguirel is a peanut, and LMP is an acorn... (not a nut, exactly, I know...).

Anyway, you're all going about this the wrong way. What we need to do is lynch off an interesting character to keep the fun going- preferably a controversial one. Yet, at the same time, we ought to double-lynch off somebody boring, just to be rid of them.

For boring, I propose Nell. Ang should be happy, though he voteth for Giles.

For the interesting candidate, I propose Goldberry. Let's face it, she's a LotR character and belongs in the Legendarium with Frodo and Tom.

And I'm bound to step on a few toes.

Do you want to know who IS a Werewolf? It's the Parson. He's already slipped out of a tricky vote twice- once helping us lynch his fellow Werewolf Artaxerxes. He's hidden too much behind his RPG cover. Enough! Down with this foul, lupine fiend!

Smaug is always rotten to the core, making him a magnificent example of Morgoth's work. Chrysophylax appears to want to play both sides of the evil issue, simultaneously (or nearly so) attempting to ravage what he thinks is a defenseless countryside and making deals with Giles. Can't have it both ways and be a proper dragon. Can't have it both ways and be a properly reforming dragon either.

Actually, that's when it's at its most interesting - provided that the bargaining is done between different "factions". The unfortunate thing is that there are certain "sacred cows" who remain tantalisingly beyond reach.

Diamond is a brazil nut, SPM is a walnut, Anguirel is a peanut, and LMP is an acorn... (not a nut, exactly, I know...). Anyway, you're all going about this the wrong way. What we need to do is lynch off an interesting character to keep the fun going- preferably a controversial one. Yet, at the same time, we ought to double-lynch off somebody boring, just to be rid of them. For boring, I propose Nell. Ang should be happy, though he voteth for Giles. For the interesting candidate, I propose Goldberry. Let's face it, she's a LotR character and belongs in the Legendarium with Frodo and Tom. And I'm bound to step on a few toes. ++ Goldberry, daughter of the River __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.

But when you vote against Goldberry you vote against ol' bombadillo . ++ Teddy For the record, I'm sort of in agreement with ol' saucepanillo. I think it's too predictable - when people discuss teaming up to vote, saying "I'll vote for him if you join me after on him" it sort of kills your will to participate. But apparently I'm still here. Sorry Teddy , with any luck you got far enough to be offered a job as host of own daytime home improvement show on ITV. bombadillo __________________ The 'hum' generated by an electric car is not in fact the noise of the engine, but that of the driver's self-righteousness oscillating at a high frequency.
