Orc-draught is spot on, no? Brandy Hall is also a bit funny because of the brandy part.

Spicy

ORC-DRAUGHT- Yep.
UTUMNO- Meh.
THORONDOR- Meh.
LONGBEARDS- Heh heh.
BEOR THE OLD- *snicker*
BULLROARER TOOK- Maybe.
CRAM- Heh.
BRANDY HALL- Nice.
GREAT GOBLIN- Meh.

So, toss out a few which leaves a simpler list-

FOR REAL

Orc-Draught

FOR FUNNY

Longbeards
Beor the Old
Cram
Brandy Hall

There's a clear choice for the real category, with Brandy Hall perhaps straddling the real and humor, and so far as humor goes it's all down to what is striking at the moment (is it funnier to call Beor, Cram, or Dwarves "spicy"?).

Round 24 will be our last round. By then most will be down to no more red taters or just 1 left.

If you pick one of the list of four tp offered as funny I promise to make an AKM article on 2013 about the gifted T-I-G player GwathWolf. If you pick mine I'll promise to tell how great player he is ine every match-analysis the AKM produces.

How's about that for bribing?

Excellent. But, unfortunately, they just aren't that funny, and so I'm going to have to go with:

ORC-DRAUGHT

My immediate kneejerk reactions there were Caradhras and Moneybags - however, I am willing to be swayed by good arguments for other options! Boro has the current winner if I don't make it back by deadline but I certainly intend to so give me some strong defences to read please.

I would add both Thranduil and Balin to the list of the best picks. Just think of that meeting of Bilbo & the dwarves and Thranduil at the Elvenking's Hall!

Also, I'm not sure Moneybags is such a good choice - while agreeing with Caradhras a lot.

Definitely Caradhras for a legit pick. Goldberry for the best joke.

Hah, only now on board... And you Kath didn't se the ingenuity of picking Thranduil, the cranky elven king?

I mean, as a child when I read the book the first time I hated him being such a cranky old man who for his crabbyness didn't even investigate the issue and locked the dwarves and Bilbo in for no good reason but his crankyness...

Ok Lhuna, you're next up and have "Bold"

Shadowfax
The Bald Hill
Osse
Durin's Bane
Wilderland
Elros
Turin
Grond
Beleriand
The Black Arrow
Farthing Stone

ROUND 24

Green tater: Creative (imaginative, artistic, original)
Judge: Nogrod

Since Nogrod has no more remaining he will judge the final round. After this everyone should have either none or 1 left, and we'll be finished.

If you have 1 left, please still PM it to me, just to make sure it matches with what I have down. A few times I repeated some of the red taters and I believe I caught those times before there were any mix-ups. But I would just like to double-check. Thanks.

Exactly.

I'd say, shortly (just going to sleep), that Ossë and Túrin make perfect sense.

Wilderland and Beleriand are interesting options thinking it outside the box.

Shadowfax is a nice one - and one could think of Grond fitting the description - as well as Durin's Bane.

I'd pick from those...

No strong candidates jumping out at me so far for this round. I'm very much pliable. Send me a cup of coffee and I'll pick your tater.

A cup of nice hot java! *here*

I hope you enjoy it and that it refreshes. And well, if a thought can refresh, then I hope it works, whatever the taters.

Personally, I probably would go with Bald Hill. Never pass up an opportunity to anthropomorphize inanimate objects. Plus, as my dad says, "Bald is beautiful."

My favorites for bold are definitely Turin and Shadowfax. They both repeatedly dashed into peril with confidence.

Apologies for deciding too early, but I need my sleep and I've already made up my mind on ++Túrin. The others just don't have, or at least were not able to show, the same daring - most of the time even reckless - nature.

No worries Lhuna, thanks for remembering in your daily hecticness.

Lottie's long saving of Turin pays off, that's back-to-back.

It's okay. I can't win, but I can at least tie the phantom.

I would like to thank all the little people whose names I can't remember...

As for 'creative', Helm's Deep, maybe, or The Sinking of Numenor strike me as particularly good choices.

Creative (imaginative, artistic, original)

Just the first impressions before going to sleep.


The Undying Lands, for sure.

Sinking of Númenor, for a funny - or creative - answer.

Formenos, for a pretty good one.

Mordor or the Golden Hall, maybe...


Or any other option if you can make me think it that way.

With Formenos leading off the list it was rather easy to eliminate the ones that came after- until reaching the Undying Lands. Both of those are very good. Formenos as the home of the ultra-creative Feanor and the Undying Lands as the home of the Ainur who sang creation into existence.

For a Feanor-phile Formenos probably wins, and for others the Undying Lands is the choice.

I like to think a lot of creation went into building the Wooden Whale...

Hirilondë - the most creative thing in that was the size... dismissed.

Mordor - anything Sauron "created" was a mock image of the real artistry of creation... twisted imitations, so nothing original. Dismissed.

The Golden Hall - doesn't even come near... dismissed.


Formenos - a great triumph of creativity (the fortress) where a lot of talent lived. A good one.

The Undying lands - A lot of the same as with Formenos, but with larger scale. A very good one.


But as no one rfeally put themselves into arguing anything the winner is

++ Sinking of Numénor

Just for the entertainment value of the idea of that being Eru's most imaginative idea of how to get rid of the too self-confident and vain Numénorians...

and you know what the liberalists talk nowadays about the "creative destruction"! To the point!
