But....but....but I knew who Fatty was and everything! And I liked him! (Granted it's because the duck told me about him, but still....) Then again Maggot had the super!shrooms so he couldn't be all bad either. I like mushrooms. They're tasty.

Heh I like how I'm more interested in the characters in the context of a silly game than I am in actually reading the books. Go me.

I thought it was kind of cool that Tom thought Maggot was a big shot.

But more importantly, he beat up Frodo when he was young, and chased him with his dogs.

Now, THAT's just not fair!!! You get to be Manwe's herald AND Iarwain?

And you don't randomly burst into doggerel. Sorry, but I just don't buy it.

I'd say pick on someone your own size, but the Face of Boe's not around very often, and I think you'd get along pretty well anyway.

Oh, and penguins, to send to a certain Downer.

And by complete accident this seal picture came up.

I recall seeing once an all-girl band doing
Pretty Woman. Perhaps an all-female cast,
or all-monster (Shelob qualifies for either ).
Not sure about Lobelia.

Maybe female orcs...that list might be short though. If we do all female will we get the chance to do all male too?

Either orcs or female is fine with me. I suppose Uruks and trolls could count as Orcs

Stay away from the fray for one day and it's all over...

But we had a great winner on this round! Congrats to all those who made Maggot win!

Some of the ideas that have been brought up in the past-
  • Elves
  • Men
  • Dwarves
  • Ainu
  • Females
  • Orcs (baddie minions)
  • Weapons & Armor

What sort of thing is everyone leaning towards for the next game? How about everyone giving a yes vote for anything and everything you like the idea of. Personally I'd give a yes to Weapons & Armor, Females, Orcs, and Ainu.

I'd say dwarves, women, or Ainur- but if Ainur you'd need
to include some Maiar to get to 20. Or some general mix
of the two.

Doh! Quite correct about Ainur covering both.

Btw, if maia included there would be difficult choices
since they include Osse, Uinen, Melian, Gothmog.
Sauron, etc. In that case should heavyweights like
Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron, be excluded if they've
already been participants- or seperate
games for Valar and Maiar?

But, of course, there are other interesting contests
suggested above and in the past.

I think Gandalf and Saruman should be included only if we refer to them by their Valinorean names.

I think we shouldn't artificially bring the list up to 20. If there are 15 Valar (including ol'Morgoth) so be it.

And that goes for Orcs, for instance. I don't think we will find 20 Orcs with anything like a distinct personality in LOTR+Hobbit. So we just list all we remember and so be it, IMO.

Maybe separate Vala and Maia contest would be the answer. They're each very different characters and I think people might get upset if they're favourite Maia gets missed out.

Yeah, maybe have the Valar, and then the non-Vala Ainu.... I'll add the Valar as another category.
  • Elves
  • Men
  • Dwarves (2)
  • Ainu (5)
  • Females (4)
  • Orcs (2)
  • Weapons & Armor (1)
  • Monsters (1)
  • Valar

We can make two parallel threads: Valar and Maiar contests.
