++ The-Man-in-the-Moon

Because I am obstinate and mule-headed, and want him gone.

Also because "Moonies" and "mooning" have some rather unsavoury connotations in our society, and one has to wonder exactly where this man is...

For reasons already said by the werewolf in ghetto armor and the guy who found religion.

Hmmmm.... Hmmmmm! I like that idea.

I've considered voting for the mewlips before, but I think the entire Mr. Bliss cast ought to go first. Just because I've never read the book and can't imagine it's any good if it's no better than Roverandom.

So.....sine a vote has already been cast in that direction:

++ TEDDY

Diamond18 · 04-19-2006, 11:11 PM

The defense of the Man-in-the-Moon waned on the ninth day, allowing a sneak attack by his staunchest detractors:

Man-in-the-Moon: 3 votes

The Barrow-wight: 2 votes

Teddy: 2 votes

The Mewlips: 1 vote

And so, the Man-in-the-Moon came down too soon, got spectacularly drunk, and staggered off into the deep jungle, never to be heard from again.

Day the Tenth finds 39 remaining contestants:

Do I hear some celebrating? Yes I do! And it's coming from the Formendacil in the crowd...

Anyway, I love seeing my chosen candidate voted off. Considering my oft-contrary tactic of voting, it's sometimes been a rather rare event. And the veterans of Suvivor: The Second Age can attest to my habit of gloating after a particularly successful day. (Galadriel, anyone?

)

Now, how to repeat this delightful event. How about...

++ Sergeant Boffin

A transplanted Hobbit if I've ever seen the name of one. "Boffin"?

Really, we should send him back to where he belongs: the Legendarium.

And you can add some joyful rattling of pans to that too.

Still on the anti-Mr Bliss trail I see, Ang. What do you have against the book?

I do so hate voting for characters that I know nothing of (by far the majority in this game), so I shall go back to petitioning for the eviction of that troublesome neighbour ...

out of here pronto! How much of the poem do I have to quote to convince people that they're very, very evil?!

The cellars where the Mewlips sit
Are deep and dank and cold
With single sickly candle lit;
And there they count their gold.

See, they're already making plans for evil projects with the prize money they haven't won yet...

That's okay, SpM. Have someone do the next Survivor
as an all-orc Survivor (although the show would probably
have to air after 10 P.M. in the United States due to language
and graphic violence).

Just had a thought. Imagine what an orc version of
Teletubbies or Mr. Rogers neighborhood
would be like.

The Only Real Estel · 04-20-2006, 10:34 AM

Dang, the poor Moon Man finally gave in to the relentless beatings of SpM & Form. Oh well, he wasn't my favorite to win anyway; I hope he at least gets to stop at the Inn on his way home.

Yes, but if you're incompetent at spelling incompetence
why not make that like a double negative and thereby
make you competent?

And why do I have a feeling
Bilbo might say something like that at a party?

A creepier, less likeable creature does not exist in the minor works.

I'll bet they were cannibals into the bargain. That's enough to want them out.

--GIRABBIT, ++SERGEANT BOFFIN

All these Boffins slope lazily off out of the story, and we can't have this idle example continuing to hold the position of Sergeant.

Diamond18 · 04-20-2006, 10:40 PM

The tenth day marked yet another blow for the battered Bliss tribe:

Sergeant Boffin: 3 votes

The Mewlips: 2 votes

Girabbit: 1 vote

Mr. Parish: 1 vote

Uin, the Whale: 1 vote

And so, Sergeant Boffin was sent to the Shire, where he tried to police the hobbit population and got his helmet smashed in.

Because the Man-in-the-Moon was voted out the day before last, the Roverandom Tribe has been fated to a slow and painful starvation. (please see post 75)

To try our best to delay this horrible death, I say we vote off whoever eats the most in that tribe. And that would be

++Uin, the Whale

But then again he could become a potential food source, sooo

- - Uin, the Whale

and

++The Little Boy

For being the least able to provide for his own food. Yes, yes, I know he's Tolkien's son, but sacrifices must be made for the survival of the tribe.

Diamond18 · 04-21-2006, 10:57 PM

The eleventh round marked yet another double send off, as two very different characters found themselves in the same boat. Literally.

The Little Boy: 3 votes

Mr. Parish: 3 votes

Uin: 1 vote

And so, Mr. Parish was consigned to a hell dimension where he was forced to fix his own roof every day for the rest of eternity, and the Little Boy was sent to bed without his supper.

Diamond18 · 04-22-2006, 11:26 PM

Voting early on the twelfth day was wide spread, then it seemed for a time that Niggle would get the boot for being too much like the Formen man. But two late votes saved the absent minded painter and ousted the dread creatures of the swamp:

The Mewlips: 3 votes

Niggle: 2 votes

The Wizard Ataxerxes: 1 vote

Girabbit: 1 vote

And so, the Mewlips' valley was fumigated, decontaminated, detoxified, flooded, and sprayed with industrial strength RAID until the Mewlips were effectly wiped out.

*sniff*

Diamond is sad. I can't help it, that's my favorite Tolkien poem.

Surely a good alternative.

Oh, by the way, if the diabolical anti-Smith of Wootton Major contingent succeeds today, I must perforce consider my stint in this game at an end since I identify with the good fellow so closely; I would be symbolically dead, and would thus have to symbolically be dead to this thread. (hee hee it even rhymed) So help save me, please!

Literally. The Little Boy: 3 votes Mr. Parish: 3 votes Uin: 1 vote And so, Mr. Parish was consigned to a hell dimension where he was forced to fix his own roof every day for the rest of eternity, and the Little Boy was sent to bed without his supper. Day the Twelfth finds 36 remaining contestants: Farmer Giles of Ham Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham) Gram, his dog The Giant from the Wild Hills King Augustus Bonifacious Chrysophylax Dives The Miller The Parson Sunny Sam (Fabricius Cunctator) The Blacksmith Smith of Wooton Major/Leaf By Niggle Master Cook Rider Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie Smith of Wooton Major Nell Queen of Faerie Niggle The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (Poems) Goldberry Badger Old Man Willow The Barrow-wight Goodman Maggott Princess Mee Fíriel The Mewlips Troll Roverandom Roverandom The Wizard Artaxerxes Mew, the Seagull Moon-dog Mer-dog Uin, the Whale Mr. Bliss Girabbit Mr. Day Archie Teddy Bruno Herbert Dorkins Egbert Dorkins __________________ All shall be rather fond of me and suffer from mild depression.

Anyone with a grudge against Formendacil is therefore advised to vote for him. ++ Niggle Like so. __________________ I prefer history, true or feigned.

But two late votes saved the absent minded painter and ousted the dread creatures of the swamp: The Mewlips: 3 votes Niggle: 2 votes The Wizard Ataxerxes: 1 vote Girabbit: 1 vote And so, the Mewlips' valley was fumigated, decontaminated, detoxified, flooded, and sprayed with industrial strength RAID until the Mewlips were effectly wiped out. sniff Diamond is sad. I can't help it, that's my favorite Tolkien poem.

To everyone who thought the Mewlips were really cool and besides responsible role models: arise! Oaths ye have taken! Let's start getting the cloud-headed goody-goodies. ++SMITH OF WOOTON MAJOR __________________ Among the friendly dead, being bad at games did not seem to matter -Il Lupo Fenriso

littlemanpoet Itinerant Songster Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: The Edge of Faerie Posts: 7,066	Two votes against Smith of Wootton Major!? As you can see from my avatar, I take this rather personally.... .... and will fight tooth and nail for this gentle soul's survival. Besides which, votes for such an innocent soul seem rather (ahem) diabolical to me. *TO ME!! TO ME!! ALL YOU GOOD SOULS WHO WOULD SPARE THE LIFE OF THE GOOD SMITH!!!! LET US OUST THE OUSTER OF OUR GOOD SMITH!!! TO ME!! TO ME!!* ++ Girabbit Surely a good alternative. Oh, by the way, if the diabolical anti-Smith of Wootton Major contingent succeeds today, I must perforce consider my stint in this game at an end since I identify with the good fellow so closely; I would be symbolically dead, and would thus have to symbolically be dead to this thread. (hee hee it even rhymed) So help save me, please!

Where did you get a colored version? The one in my copy is... not colored.
