LOTR Survivor

[Glirdan]

++Sam

Hate to break it to ya Perky, but Sam's gone already.

[The Perky Ent]

:o

He took my spices to the grave!?! There must be RETRIBUTION!!!!


++Celeborn


If he won't give up his spices, no one can have it!

[Firefoot]

++Bilbo

Nassy thief, we hates him. He stole our fissh, preciouss, that was our food rations for the day, and cooked them for himsself, nassty hobbit.

[Anguirel]

Noo! The scum won't let go of Celeborn!

I'll wait to see how things progress, but I'll definitely vote for one of those confounded Hobbits, and probably for Bilbo or Frodo.

They were slick practitioners and managed to censor the histories, but the Baggins Crowd was in fact the most demoniac gang in Middle-earth. They murdered Celebrian to encourage Elrond to pay collection money on time. They harassed endangered species of reptile. They stole left, right and centre, and were never punished due to bribes to King Elessar....

[Lalaith]

I would still really like to see the back of Grima, but for today I'll go along with Alcarillo's ++Gollum

I know he's useful - a good fisherman and seems to know his way around - but I just don't trust him, he keeps sneaking off and talking to himself, most unsettling. And he looks at people in a funny way.

[WaynetheGoblin]

I think celeborn should be getting all the votes.

[WaynetheGoblin]

Vote for celeborn its the best choich you can make.

[Anguirel]

Best choich, certainly. Choich is undoubtedly Orcish for "unbelievable piece of stupidity."

Oh, and I say we should hang Baggins the younger.

If you like Frodo, don't let him be separated from Sam.

If you don't like him, turf him off and be rid of half of the hated Baggins mafia!

++FRODO "NINE LIGHT FINGERS" BAGGINS

[Kitanna]

I think celeborn should be getting all the votes.
But why? What has Celeborn done that would make any of you vote for him? If you want to get rid of the useless get rid of the hobbits.

[mormegil]

But why? What has Celeborn done that would make any of you vote for him? If you want to get rid of the useless get rid of the hobbits.

If we are talking useless than I think Celeborn fits the bill. What has he actually done other than marry Galadriel? Now I would posit that that little fiend has simply ridden the proverbial coat-tails of Galadriel to get him through life. Galadriel still would be great without him but he would wither and die without her. I would say that Celeborn is analogous to a leech in this instance. Blood sucking little creature that hasn't done anything of actual value for Middle-earth and with his excessive vanity it's lucky that Galadriel gets to use her mirror at all, what with him looking in it constantly making sure every strand of hair is perfectly in order.

[Folwren]

I've already voted today and my vote went with Bilbo. I should have waited, but perhaps it's better that I didn't. Bilbo should definitely go instead of Frodo, but Celeborn should go before Bilbo.

Understand, I have nothing particularly against Celeborn, I just like Hobbits better than elves, and the more Hobbits around the better. But Bilbo is a grump, so I'd like to get him rid of before Frodo. He didn't like adventures before he'd gone on the one with the Dwarves and Gandalf and had to be fairly dragged in. Whereas Frodo spend all of his childhood wanting to do something fun. He even had the guts to go borrow mushrooms from Maggot, whereas Bilbo would have likely fallen on the edge of his land at the very first sound of one of the dogs howling, shouting 'struck by lightning! Struck by lightning!' *snorts in disgust*

Besides that, unless all of you people who voted for Sam are frauds and liars, then you want to keep Frodo around because you want to see how he does without Sam, remember? Saucey?

Anyhow, I think Celeborn should go becaues he's pretty much a useless character. He neither helps or hinders. He adds no excitement...no spark. And Anguirel, although I'm sorry to be getting rid of the one you seem to like so much, I can't say I'm very much pressed to not vote for Celeborn for your sake, seeing as you've now voted for Frodo.

-- Folwren

[Anguirel]

Arrrrrgh!

What has he done other than marry Galadriel? Rule various places and retake Dol Guldur, in pragmatic terms...

He would wither and die without Galadriel, would he? An absurd statement. He voluntarily separates from Galadriel on two major documented occasions-after being deposed from Ost-in-Edhil, and after Galadriel leaves from the Grey Havens.

On the latter occasion he hangs around for thousands of years as Lord of Rivendell, showing no apparent need to follow his wife in a hurry.

Whereas Galadriel, who wishes to return to the West after the War of Wrath, stays in Middle-earth because she can't bear to be parted from him...

Little leech? Rather larger (and more independent, and less leechlike) than Sam Halfwit, who actually takes over Frodo's house...

Excessive vanity? You have no source for that except your own bitterness. The hairwashing joke has been overused with Legolas, and wasn't very funny to start with.

And I'm voting for Frodo because I think he'll be happier outside, and I like the old rogue Bilbo's character up to point. Though the Baggins hoodlums must still be stopped.

[Celuien]

++Frodo. Not that I have anything against him.

I agree that he would be happier with Sam. Besides, with votes standing at Celeborn 4, Frodo 4, Bilbo and Gollum 2, and Goldberry and Aragorn 1, he's the only other candidate for whom I can vote to save Celeborn.

[Mithalwen]

Nothing personal (apart from all that irritating staring into space) .... but I am not giving up on the prettyboy trophy husband....

++Frodo

[Kitanna]

Oo Anguriel you beat me to my praise of Celebron. He is from from a leech of Galadriel.

[the guy who be short]

++Frodo the Samless for reasons already outlined by others. Plus he was too close to Sam and will undoubtedly now be plotting my downfall.

[Glirdan]

For voting out the faithful Hobbit and the one who saved Middle Earth, I will have RETRIBUTION!!! My retribution will be swift and you wisl all in the end come to hate what you have done to the poor Hobbits. I SHALL HAVE RETRIBUTION!!!!!

[Anguirel]

Oh yes?

Well, if you gun for Celeborn again...it'll get worse. The Elves of Lorien will not yield in their defence of their Lord!

Ain't that right, my fellow Marchwardens Kitanna and Celuien, and, naturally, the Lady of the Wood herself, Mithalwen the Elf-fancier?

We will hold true in the defence of interesting characterisation and/or pretty silver hair...

[Glirdan]

I'll hunt you all one by one and get rid of your favorites. I WILL have my retribution!!!!!

[Folwren]

Retribution. What a lovely word, Glirdan.

We'll be meeting again, TGWBS. I think.

Boromir, when does this day end and we begin to vote for new people to send off? It appears that my lovely, younger Baggins is being beaten. Poor fellow. It might be better for him to go home after all, though it's down right sad and absolute cruelty.

-- Folwren

[Anguirel]

I think this is the phrase you are looking for...

"I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you!"

Malvolio, Twelfth Night

[The Only Real Estel]

++ Frodo

Celeborn may be stoned all the time but Frodo without Sam to pamper him is absolutely useless. The excuses of shoulder pain have ground my nerves to pulp, I can stand it no longer.

[Glirdan]

Retribution. What a lovely word, Glirdan.

Isn't Folwren?? Glad you think so. As for when today ends, it ends at 5:00pm Est. time. So in a little while. Lets be patient, for the time being.......

[Celuien]

Oh yes?

Well, if you gun for Celeborn again...it'll get worse. The Elves of Lorien will not yield in their defence of their Lord!

Ain't that right, my fellow Marchwardens Kitanna and Celuien, and, naturally, the Lady of the Wood herself, Mithalwen the Elf-fancier?

We will hold true in the defence of interesting characterisation and/or pretty silver hair... 'Deed it is. The Galadhrim stand united behind their Lord! All those who oppose him, beware our wrath.

[Kitanna]

'Deed it is. The Galadhrim stand united behind their Lord! All those who oppose him, beware our wrath.
Indeed and I will vote for pretty much anyone else before I vote for Celeborn, with the exception of Galadriel. The Lord Celeborn will be triumphant.

[the guy who be short]

I refuse to ally myself to anybody. I shall simply do my utmost to remove the most idiots Islanders.

Folwren, try as you might, you will not beat Bilbo. We have "the greatest little hobbit of them all" on our side, after all.

[WaynetheGoblin]

Folwern will beat bilbo I will vote for him tomorrow.

[Boromir88]

Alright, voting's off. It looks pretty close, but I think Frodo may be going next. We'll see in a bit.

[mormegil]

I had written up a lengthy post explaining what is going on and what needs to be done but when I clicked submit the site went down so I will surmise what I said now.

Basically I see an alliance of pointy eared freaks forming. Elves and elf lovers agenda is becoming clear--"eliminate all others". Essentially they want genocide of all but themselves.

Now their current target appears to be hobbits. They eliminate the greatest of all hobbits and now want to eliminate his cohort. Their reasoning for eliminating Sam was flimsy at best and now they are showing their hypocrisy by choosing Frodo. They say that they want to do away with Sam because all he's good for is taking care of Frodo and it would be interesting to see how Frodo handles himself without Sam. So Sam is voted off. Now they are saying that Frodo should go because he useless without Sam--a point I won't argue against--but it does illustrate how hypocritical their reasoning is.

I ask who will be going next? Dwarves? Men? Istari? Will it ever stop until they have their own world? We must stop this madness and strike back. So I implore all those who wish to see a diverse Middle-earth tribe to help me in this cause. We need to strike at the heart of these fans of those who wear tights. Their apparent favorite is Celeborn our little trophy husband, who as I said early really has never done anything significant in the history of Middle-earth. So let's strike them to their core by voting him off and regaining some balance.

[Boromir88]

Votes are...

Frodo- 9
Celeborn- 4
Bilbo- 2
Gollum- 2
Goldberry- 1
Aragorn- 1

Frodo's kicked off too, the tribe's spoken. He never was much use, and only became more useless once Sam was gone.

Boromir, when does this day end and we begin to vote for new people to send off? It appears that my lovely, younger Baggins is being beaten. Poor fellow. It might be better for him to go home after all, though it's down right sad and absolute cruelty.~Folwren

I said 5 at the beginning of the thread. But, it's difficult for me to get on the comp by 5, so I may extend it to 5:30. This again is Eastern Standard time. Which the Time the downs is set up for (GMT) should be 9:30 pm. You can figure out what time it is for you from there.

Right now it's kind of ended more sporadically because I'm unable to get on at 4 sometimes depending upon the rush hour traffic. So, I've been thinking about extending it, and I think I will to 5:30 Eastern Standard time, or 9:30 on the barrowdowns.

Edit: Forgot the remaining contestants...

[Glirdan]

I will follow morm on this, or should I say that I'm most likely going to be voting as I have for the past few days. We have to strike the Elves or we will lose all the Hobbits and good Men and the White Lady of Rohan. Let us get rid of Celeborn!! We need to have some different races on the island, not just Elves!!! Cast them off!!!!

[Gil-Galad]

now ++Bilbo, we should just get rid of all teh nassty hobbitesse

[The Only Real Estel]

Yes, I see Morm's point too well. Celeborn should go, if only to prove that this island cannot be ruled by a small majority of itself. Still, I may vote otherwise if something presents itself (okay, now it's really sounding like WW :p)...

[Glirdan]

now ++Bilbo, we should just get rid of all teh nassty hobbitesse

Why do you wnat to get rid of ALL the Hobitt's!?!? I'm fine with getting rid of Bilbo and Gollum eventually, but not Merry and Pip. That would just be stupid. If Bilbo and Gollum go, it's ok, but not the troublsome duo.

[Gil-Galad]

first all the hobbits... then maybe all the elves... why do you want to get rid of the elves so bad hmmm?

++Glirdan!!!

your so lynched

[Firefoot]

++Goldberry

Frodo can't be without Sam, and Goldberry can't be without Tom. Look how she misses him - besides, she can't get her lilies anymore. She's just kind of there, and I never really liked her anyway.

[The Perky Ent]

++Goldberry


Don't let her suffer. Let her pass into the west...coast...whatever :rolleyes:

[Glirdan]

Not if I counter that Gil soo.....

++Gil

Looks like it's a double lynch.

I don't want to geet rid of all the Elves, only Celeborn for reasons I've stated before. He keeps saying "Tell me where is Gandalf for I much desire to speak with him". It's getting on my last nerve, as are you. :p

[mormegil]

While I was hoping for recruits from the Goldberry camp I will stick to my guns on this and vote

++CELEBORN

Down with the silver hairs!

[WaynetheGoblin]

++Bilbo I dont like him.

[Gil-Galad]

Glirdan follows the movie, i am dissapointed in you Glirdan... Celeborn should stay for now

[Glirdan]

Yes, I am following the movie. But I didn't like him much in the books either. Don't know why, I just didn't. As for my vote, I will wait a day before I go back on my "Get rid of Celeborn" campaign. For now, I will vote.....

++Bilbo

He's getting to old. He can't do any of the challenges and he keeps having the Ring lust. Not to mention, all he does is have riddle wars with Gollum and writes songs and poems in a corner. Most of the time he's sleeping though.

[Alcarillo]

++Gollum

Gollum may be great at catching fish, but eating them raw is just too much.

[The Saucepan Man]

Come on folks, the Hobbits have taken a pasting over the last few days. I was happy to see the two dull goody-goodies go, but let's keep the ones with character. It's time to call a halt to this Hobbit-bashing.

Notice how all the tribes have taken a hit except the Men and Dwarves? There are too few Dwarves to start voting them off. But we should really even things up to keep the show interesting.

I suggest that we get rid of ...

++ ARAGORN

... for being such a goody-two-shoes. These "perfect" characters make such dull viewing.

[Kitanna]

For the third day in a row I vote
++ Aragorn
I want to see an end to his endless whining about Arwen being gone and not being king, not to mention his bathing...

[Celuien]

I agree that it's time to put a moratorium on votes for the Hobbit tribe. After all, the Galadhrim really aren't trying to eliminate the other Children of Iluvatar. We're not that...evil. :rolleyes:

So today, I'll vote for

++I'M-STILL-NOT-THE-KING-ARAGORN

if for no other reason than to try and keep Bilbo here. Besides, I think that old Butterbur had a point when he said not to take up with Rangers.

[Folwren]

++Bilbo.

For unstated reasons that are there, but will remain unstated. You will have to guess.

-- Folwren

[Anguirel]

But-but-but-

I like Book-Aragorn. I fear I may have to separate from my comrades on this one.

I will not vote yet, but here is my suggestion. Grima has gone far too long unpunished. The slithering worm is always trying to persuade the other Rohirrim to lock up Eomer, and is generally a depressing influence, as his surname suggests. He's refusing to observe any rules of hygiene, and his black robe is really rather overdone. Besides, he's obviously trafficking drugs, and Eowyn needs to be freed from him.

[the guy who be short]

Aragorn is far too what we on th internet call "r0x0r" to be kicked off. After all, the man recreated an empire after thousands of years of crumbling. Napoleon couldn't do. Hitler couldn't do that. Plus, he knows how to wield a sword. And the whole rugged thing makes him incredibly popular. And he's a good, wise, popular king.

No, Aragorn stays. And Bilbo, dear Bilbo, must be saved from the vicious hands o the embezzled fools that would expel him!

Therefore my vote must go to that boring, pointless woman

++Goldberry.

Just allowing herself to be abducted? Disgusting. What kind of example does that set to young women everywhere.

[Celuien]

But-but-but-

I like Book-Aragorn. I fear I may have to separate from my comrades on this one.

Ah, but don't forget the grief he caused Celeborn, Galadriel and Elrond when he married Arwen.

None saw her last meeting with Elrond her father, for they went up into the hills and there spoke long together, and bitter was their parting that should endure beyond the ends of the world.
Spoiled-Aragorn has always gotten everything he wants, but he can't win the island too. Let's give our friends at least one victory over him!

[Lalaith]

What's with this Goldberry vendetta? There's few enough women on this island as it is,without voting off the ones we do have. What's more, I think we're really seeing a new side to the girl since that ridiculous little husband was kicked off, she's coming into her own - it's goodbye washerwoman, hello kick-*** River Woman's Daughter.

Anyway, thanks to the hobbit purge, I think the tribe of mortal men is getting way too numerous and powerful, we need to level the playing field. And what better way to start than by losing the creepy stalker:
++GRIMA

[Folwren]

Originally posted by the guy who be short:

Dear Bilbo my foot. I wonder if you even though of what very many of us might think of Sam leaving. No. Not a thought. Not a single thought. Bilbo is far less needed than Sam, or Aragorn, for that matter. I would keep Celeborn longer than I would Bilbo.

I'm doing everything in my power to take your Dear Bilbo from you, as you did everything in your power to take Sam away.

Just wait...just wait.

-- Folwren

[Glirdan]

Yes Folwren. We will get our RETRIBUTION (man I LOVE that word!!!) for Sam!!! We WILL get Bilbo!!! We WILL get Celeborn!!! Galadriel and Elrond are safe in my eyes. Well Galadriel is anyway, What the heck was Elrond thinking when he wore Arwen's silk purple cloak to the siege of Barad-Dur!?!? I'll get him....but not yet. RETRIBUITON!!!!!!!

[Mithalwen]

Well I always mentally shut my eyes very tightly and pretend Tombombalurina isn't there so for consistency

++Goldberry

The remaining women we have are of high calibre and much more interesting - I fully expect them to go to the wire - even Lobelia in whom I see the dogged spirit of "Bridget the Sheepwoman" (UK Survivor 2 - I loved her because she drove the other contestants mad with her rambling ovine anecdotes but they needed her :p )

But I Aragorn is high on my hit list - I have always thought he was a bit of a prig

[Glirdan]

I rather like the idea of having Goldberry here. What has she done wrong, besides go and get lilies for the group. She didn't do anything wrong. If you noticed, the weather cleared up when Bombadil got the boot. It was his doing!! Keep Goldberry, get rid of Bilbo!!! He's really starting to creep me out.

[Boromir88]

So far votes are...

Goldberry- 4
Bilbo- 4
Aragorn- 3
Celeborn- 1
Gollum- 1
Grima- 1

Let's make this interesting.

++Aragorn

I never liked the guy anyway. He's too much like Gandalf.

Remember voting will be done at 5:30 EST.

Also, I'm gonna be gone til most likely 6:30-7 tomorrow. So, would somebody (again hopefully this is the only day I have to work Sunday) do the voting for Sunday? It would be a great help and shall receive an award, though not quite sure what that will be yet. :D

Edit:

This leaves Bilbo, Goldberry, and Aragorn tied at 4.

[Glirdan]

I'll take over for you again Boro. Anytime you need someone to take over for you, just ask.

[Mithalwen]

Oh yes?

Well, if you gun for Celeborn again...it'll get worse. The Elves of Lorien will not yield in their defence of their Lord!

Ain't that right, my fellow Marchwardens Kitanna and Celuien, and, naturally, the Lady of the Wood herself, Mithalwen the Elf-fancier?

We will hold true in the defence of interesting characterisation and/or pretty silver hair...

We have already lost Haldir and Leggy-lulu so we have to dig in..... nothing wrong with being an elf-fancier pointy-eared, elegant and...... :p

[Glirdan]

I was sad at the loss of Haldir actually. I only had a vendetta against Legolas and Arwen and now Celebor. There's nothing wrong with Galadriel. I'm going to have to keep an eye on Elrond though...

[Boromir88]

Glirdan, great, then we have an accord. :)

We have already lost Haldir and Leggy-lulu so we have to dig in..... nothing wrong with being an elf-fancier pointy-eared, elegant and......
I don't think your precious elves seem to be in trouble right now.

[Mithalwen]

Quite, hence my vote for Goldberry ..... and if anyone is sharpening knives for Elrond -beware!!!!!

[Glirdan]

No problem Boro old chap.

And don't worry Mith, I'm not attacking Elrond....yet. I still think we should get rid of Bilbo......

[Boromir88]

Votings going to be done in 10 minutes if anyone wishes to break the 3-way tie.

[Glirdan]

Yes, those who haven't voted yet, do so now. Boro, if this does come down to a tie, how are you going to resolve it? Surely not a mass lynch, I mean mass eviction.

[Boromir88]

how are you going to resolve it? Surely not a mass lynch, I mean mass eviction.
Will have to, I did say earlier on the thread...
A tie would result in two (or more) cast offs.~Post 177

Can't go back now.

[Glirdan]

Ouch!!! 3 cast offs in one night!!! That's differnet. Well, I got my wish at least.

[Boromir88]

Final votes...

Goldberry- 4
Bilbo- 4
Aragorn- 4
Celeborn- 1
Gollum- 1
Grima- 1

Audios, Au revoir, and Ciao to Goldberry, Bilbo, and Aragorn. May be the saddest day on the island to see three go at once, but the voters have spoken. The Anti-Hobbit opposition continues successfully, Aragorn can now go back to his wife and Goldberry can now go back to her husband. (Tom is her husband...right?)

Remaining contestants are...

++Grima

He's made an alliance with Saruman! Kick him off the island!

[The Perky Ent]

++Denethor

He's senile, and above all, whiny. He just locks himself up, and leads us all to our deaths! (Good thing we're already dead). Shun him from the island I say!

[Kitanna]

++ Saruman
He stills has ties with Sauron. He simply cannot be trusted!

[WaynetheGoblin]

++celeborn he always says tell me where is gandalf for I must desire to speak with him.

[Gil-Galad]

++ Elrond

he stole my Pumpkin Pie...

[Folwren]

++Celeborn.

Compared to Aragorn's leaving, Celeborn being gone will be hardly anything. I can not believe that we got rid of Aragorn. Bilbo - yay. *sends something close to a nasty look in TGWBS's direction* But why Aragorn?

-- Folwren

[wilwarin538]

I like Celeborn so I don't want to vote for him. ;)

++Elrond

Because I worked really hard on that Pumpkin Pie. :p

[Boromir88]

My signature should clearly show where I stand on Elrond. I'm his biggest sponsor, as well as marketer, everyone turns to him for advice. How could one be so cruel in voting for the chap.

Folwren, I'm surprised you're not calling for my neck. I'm the one who forced the 3-way tie getting Aragorn out there. Though I wanted to make things interesting and make someone else choose who to boot off.

[Celuien]

What, Celeborn and Elrond tied in the lead with 2 votes each? This is intolerable. :mad:

Unite behind a...
++Grima the Grimy ...
bandwagon! He's treacherous. And since Eowyn doesn't care to run into a stalker, she's been avoiding all island activities where he might be present. We all want to see more of the famous Shieldmaiden of Rohan, and we're not going to as long as Grima is here.

[Firefoot]

++Denethor

He just burned down our shelter. The guy's a liability.

[Glirdan]

Well, I'm going back to what I've been trying to do for awhile now.

++Celeborn

My retribution has already started...

[Alcarillo]

What's this nonsense? People are voting for Denethor over Grima?! At least Denethor can make campfires, but Grima just broods in the forest all day long! Come on, people, Grima should be the one to go! He obviously has formed an alliance with Saruman, and spends all his time whispering with Theoden (not on the list. Was he voted off? I don't remember) since Gandalf left. Grima deserves your votes!

[The Saucepan Man]

Still too many in the Men tribe.

++DENETHOR

He spends far too much time gazing into the camp-fire with that deranged look on his face. Surely it's clear that he will burn down the entire camp one of these nights.

And he can't cook.

And his table manners are dreadful.

The guy's gotta go.

[Glirdan]

Those who voted for Elrond, beware. Not that I shouldn't beware either but....... You are in trouble by Mith now. She's gonna hunt you down. I think I'm going to go find a hole to crawl into so no one can find me.

*Runs off to The Shire*

[Anguirel]

++DENETHOR!

This man is tainted by mere politics-we might as well tolerate Tony Blair in our ranks. Down with the blasted republicans. I refuse to serve the Dark Tower or the White-down with the distinction-blurring despot, the Palantir wielding Padishah posing as President!

[the guy who be short]

What's with the Anti-Elvish Coalition? :eek:

++Denethor.

You'll all be for it when Mith gets here. ;)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

++Celeborn

Because Anguirel's sig intrugued me. :p

[Boromir88]

I'm going to vote and leave things off to Glirdan.

And actually I'm going to betray my father because he's a lunatic. He keeps on screaming "They're coming! They're after me! The Trees are moving!" And last night I saw him try to kill Faramir.

++Denethor

Votes go...

Denethor- 6
Celeborn- 4
Grima- 2
Elrond- 2
Saruman- 1

[Glirdan]

Those who haven't vote, hurry up and vote. Hopefully you'll tie it by voting for Celeborn. I know a few people who won't vote for Celeborn or Elrond. O well, I'll get my retribution. Yes preciouss, I will......

[Celuien]

Those who haven't vote, hurry up and vote. Hopefully you'll tie it by voting for Celeborn. I know a few people who won't vote for Celeborn or Elrond. O well, I'll get my retribution. Yes preciouss, I will......

We'll se about that. Yes preciouss, we will....

Have no fear, my friend. I'll call for your neck in due time. You not only tied the votes to get Aragorn excused, but also helped start the rampage against Sam. I have more than one mark against you. For the time, I had let things pass a little due to our writing together...I liked the Uncle Orin you played. But I may have to forget that and decide to do something about your atrocious voting record. We'll see

Or can I Mith? You don't know where I'm hiding. And you'll never find out!!! Muhahaha!!!!!

Well even if you were lying about the shire .... I can smell fear from a great distance ..... and while I prefer not to let the sun go down on my wrath - I can wait.... and wait.... don't mistake me for one of those nice people who believe in forgiveness ... :p

[Glirdan]

Oh i don't. ;) But you won't find me. Ever. Wait and wait all you want but you won't find me!! Anyway, those who haven't voted, hurry up with it!!! You have about 4 hours left!!! GET RID OF CELEBORN!!!!!!!!

[mormegil]

I've already explained my contempt for this elf

++CELEBORN

[WaynetheGoblin]

We shold get wrede of celeborn. He says the same sentence over and over again and again.

[Mithalwen]

No he doesn't.... It is the Anti-Celeborn people who say the same thing over and over again. Celeborn is a useful member of the tribe - he is really good at providing boats and other supplies. Get rid of Denethor, he is really picking on Faramir.

[Alcarillo]

Save Denethor for later, it's Grima who should go. Just look at how he follows Eowyn around camp all day. He makes her so depressed! And look at how Grima keeps on telling Theoden to do nothing and sit around looking grumpy. If Grima was gone, Theoden would be a much more productive member of the Men Tribe.

[Mithalwen]

Getting rid of Denethor is our best chance of saving Celeborn. Cute, clean elf boy versus grumpy, pyromaniac and messy old man... surely it is a no-brainer?

[Anguirel]

Grima will be next to fall. But the anti-Celebornists are keeping him in the game by their bandwagoning and plotting. In other words, all those who vote for Celeborn are on Grima's side...and are therefore tools of Saruman!

Depose Denethor and the White Wizard's ploy will be thwarted; the Lord of Lorien safe and the contemptible Worm ready for eviction.

[arcticstorm]

I am not sure about where the votes stand, but to save the Lord of Lorien.

++Denethor

[WaynetheGoblin]

No get rid of celeborn.

[Boromir88]

Hmmm, ok votings over, Be prepared Mr. Denethor will be exitting soon.

[Boromir88]

Votes...

Denethor- 8
Celeborn- 5
Grima- 2
Elrond- 2
Saruman- 1

Denethor seeing as he has lost and the tribe doesn't like him anymore. Sadly, he never got to leave the island. When seeing he had attracted the most votes he took a tiki torch and lit himself a fire. So passes Denethor son of Ecthelion.

How does he think it feels anyway when other people are waiting around half the day while he decides whether he wants to help rebuild the shelter Denethor burned down?

To those who have not voted, vote for Saruman in order to, in the very least save the wisest of the elves of Middle Earth during the third age.

Sorry, old Silvertop, nothing against you personally. Like you better than Galadriel, meself, and I really do have a high opinion of you.

It's just that you've become a sort of a rallying point for all these deranged 'Downers who wish to see you win, and I just really can't be having that. My whole voting tactic is to be rather unpredictable, and supporting a specific Elf's campaign just won't fit that.

So really, I have to vote you off.

Sorry.

[Anguirel]

++SARUMAN

For goodness sake, Anti-Celebornists...you're being seduced by the cracked, shrill voice of a senile old "man" in a ty-dye polka dot gown with a bad case of megalomania, who's been trying to steal all the tobacco on the island for himself. He's also building ugly 60s tower blocks and fashioning bling rings. Most undignified at his age.

[Celuien]

Celeborn is in danger? This is shocking. Not merely because I am an avid supporter of Celeborn, but rather because it is obvious that the island is falling under Saurman's spell. Can you not see what you are doing by voting for Celeborn? It's not a vote to eliminate the Elf Lord, but rather a vote to keep Saurman the betrayer, Saurman the strip-mall mogul, Saurman the tree-toppler, Saurman of the tacky multicolored robes!

For those of you who are voting for him simply to upset the Celeborn Defense Alliance, let me say this. Should we lose him, our wrath shall be great, our vengeance swift. And we shall never cease in our defense of the Elves. If the Lord of Lorien falls to this folly, we will unite behind another, fiercer and more determined than ever before.

You see this is exactly what I was talking about. To this alliance, you are not special unless your ears are pointy. They do intend to eradicate all non-elves from the Island. We need to strike at their heart and demonstrate to this silver-hair alliance that others here can weild power too. They have come to think of themselves as invinsible. Let's put an end to it and vote Celeborn.

[Anguirel]

Better pointy ears than the whips of Orthanc. But the loyalty of this alliance to Elvendom varies. There are non-Elven characters for whom I would personally sacrifice Celeborn...but you haven't struck any convincingly yet...

EDIT: Besides, chaps, your early talk of Elf-eradication, backed up by the demise of Legolas and Haldir, brought this upon yourselves...

Allow me to remind you that it is revenge for Samwise that we attack Celeborn so heartlessly. Evidently, the elves think they are so high and mighty that they must rid the island of Hobbits, lest they trip on them while not watching where they walk, and fall and soil their spotless garments. I've heard your plotting...intent on taking all the hobbits home. Why, I ask you? The elves had little hand in the destruction of the Ring, nor did they help save the world as Sam and Frodo did - which you have both excused from this game. Why? Petty reasons, every one of them.

Celeborn stayed and hid in his precious wood, while he shoved the company out of it, sending them on their way to keep him safe. And if you want to leave the Fellowship and the Destruction of the One Ring out of it (which you may, seeing as you killed the three heros of that story [i.e. Sam, Frodo, and Aragorn]), then I'll say this - He didn't even have the decensy, honor, love, or faithfulness towards Galadriel to go with her when she went to the Grey Havens. He stayed behind and sent her alone, with Elrond. I can think of no reason that could excuse a husband for doing such a thing. Why did he stay? What held him here in Middle Earth that would keep him from going across the sea with his wife?

There are some points against Celeborn. You ought to be sorry for voting Sam and Frodo off, and you should be ashamed to protect Celeborn.

This from the same Anti-Celebornist party...

If we are talking useless than I think Celeborn fits the bill. What has he actually done other than marry Galadriel? Now I would posit that that little fiend has simply ridden the proverbial coat-tails of Galadriel to get him through life. Galadriel still would be great without him but he would wither and die without her. I would say that Celeborn is analogous to a leech in this instance. Blood sucking little creature that hasn't done anything of actual value for Middle-earth and with his excessive vanity it's lucky that Galadriel gets to use her mirror at all, what with him looking in it constantly making sure every strand of hair is perfectly in order.

Sometimes they say Celeborn is tied to his wife's gleaming apron-strings, sometimes they say Celeborn heartlessly abandoned Galadriel. This inconsistency is a clear sign of a party scrabbling for ground, disordered in their minds, irrationally carrying out, zombie-like, the commands of a corrupt wizard.

Vote for Saruman the White/Many Coloured to dissipate this sloppiness and intellectual laziness...

[Folwren]

I must say, that was astonishingly humorous, Mormegil, but probably absolutely right.

Ah, but the things go hand in had. Mormegil said that he married her to look good...he got the best girl, he was down right lucky. He clung to his treasure as long as it stayed in Middle Earth, but when the time came for her to leave his beloved land, or whatever he clung to there, he decided she wasn't worth sticking to and that he would rather stay here, thank you very much. It's all for his own gains.

I actually haven't read any of anybody's argueing against Celeborn...guess it pays to do some homework on the matter sometimes. But I have real homework to attend to.

Vote Celeborn, folks. Saruman can wait. After all...his staff is broken. It's not like he can do any real damage.

This may or may not be true. :smokin: But there's only one way to really find out: a one-on-one showdown with a palatable non-Elf in the final voting round. Saruman just won't cut it for such a challenge. Now Celeborn against Eowyn might be interesting...

Get rid of Saruman ..the power is in the voice...

[Formendacil]

Shameless! Shameless how these Elves have made you people their unwitting tools!

I warn you, these Elves are using you for their own purposes! They can be very arrogant, the Elves. And they have never been above using Men as tools in those purposes... And precious little help they give back. "Go not to the Elves for advice, for they will say both yes and no". Or how about that Legolas? "Of the Fellowship, Legolas probably accomplished the least" (good thing we lynched... er... kicked off... Legolas!)

Elves have always been Men's "friends" when they needed help. Look at the First Age. Look at Sauron's invasion of Eriador. Look at the Last Alliance. Furthermore, look at what it cost Men to be Elvenkind's friends in those situations!

And inbetween, when Elves didn't need Men's help?

They stayed on their own. "To sheep, other sheep no doubt look alike. Or to the shepherd. But mortals have not been our study." They found themselves little havens and had parties there while Mankind laboured in the world outside.

Seriously, even the DWARVES have been better allies.

I'll grant that Saruman looks like he's gonna go this time, but I seriously emplore all Men (that includes you ladies, by the way) of independent minds and noble spirits to consider who truly is USING you for their own selfish ends.

Are you insinuating that Elladan and Elrohir, because they- alone among the Elves-truly loved and chose to stay with their Mannish kindred out of love, perhaps because in the end they chose to become Men, they were somehow more dangerous, somehow more "lethal" than those ordinary, lofty, selfish Elves?

And, as far as Isildur goes, I'm certain that Elrond and Cirdan combined could have taken him, had they REALLY wanted to. 2 to 1 odds... But no, the Elves didn't want to mess up their pretty hair.

You are so going down for that, short guy. Villainous rogue. We're not talking about Sam here. You got him booted a long time ago. I'm terribly glad that I got Bilbo gone before too long.

And he did not abandon Rosie. If he were as faithless as all that - as faithless as Celeborn - he might have left her and gone directly with Frodo. Instead he stayed in the Shire, with his wife, and had kids. He brought them up, he saw them married. He remained faithful unto death. Then when she went, he knew his time had come. His children were no longer dependent on him. They weren't 'little kiddies' any more.

But don't worry. We still have time. Time enough to counter all these elf feinds who want Celeborn here still..........

Why, you ask? Well I was requested to vote in this manner by a concerned citizen of Middle Earth and I thought that if this person was so desperate that it warranted bringing in outsiders (I have never posted in here before) it was worth taking a look at. Also, it seems to me that I would have a nice bargaining tool if I ever wanted something from them!

Oh, and on the subject of Sam, go TGWBS! But we should perhaps avoid bringing remnants of the Favourite Hobbit discussion into this thread.

Read the chapter again. Sam knew immediately that he couldn't go.

'Where are you going, Master?' cried Sam, though at last he understood.

'To the Havens, Sam,' said Frodo

'And I can't come.'

No questions - no begging. Just sudden realization that he and his master were going to be seperated. Sudden and heart-rending, though quiet and simple. Sam loved his Master, but he also loved Rosie, and he'd married her, and there wasn't a question in his mind about leaving her.

I'm not going to argue any further. The fact that you people even try to attack Sam in his moment of absolute grief is beyond my grasp of reasoning, and I find it depressing and horrible in itself. Revolting, even. As though you had laughed at some child lost in a crowd.

For the benefit of all Mankind, it would have been far better to have the Ring destroyed ASAP. Unlike Elves, Men have no Valinor to go floating off to in safety, should things get hot.

And as regards Free Will... Don't you advocate locking up deranged Mass Murderers in order to protect the rest of the people?

Don't you???

[Anguirel]

Fine. So, let's take what you say Elrond and Cirdan should have done.

Isildur is rugby-tackled and slain. Elrond picks up the ring-and fails. Cirdan reluctantly does him in-and also fails, because their task is impossible. Would you not then be declaiming against Elvish arrogance? Come on, you can't seriously claim to speak for human liberties and at the same time blame the Elves for not violently taking the matter into their own hands and starting a war with Men...

At least the War of the Ring broadly united Elves and Men. Internecine conflict would have been far more crippling. I'm glad the Elves had more sense than you advocate.

And your mass-murderer comment is disingenuous, because firstly there was no way Isildur could have resisted, so he was not to blame; (he even repented and began to journey to Rivendell for advice later) and secondly the punishment you are proposing is not imprisonment but the death penalty, a far more controversial issue, which I am dead against for one.

So, yup, this chap is criticising the Elves for not being more efficient at killing innocent men, while arguing Men's cause. Peculiar.

EDIT: Okay. I've seen Kath's post. The opposition are bribing and coercing voters! Boro, this is clear abuse of the system! Exert your wise justice!

Sorry Anguirel, it adds this survivor-like quality to the thread. Bribes, alliances, betrayals and back-stabbings...etc,. Now we even have our own parties forming, makes for an intriguing game. I'm just glad a computer and 1,000 of miles seperate both sides. Guess you'll have to start your own bribing to save Celeborn.

Though I will do my part...

++Saruman

I would prefer to keep Saruman around, never wanted to vote the guy out. But, I'll give the Celeborn side some time to bribe people of their own.

Saruman- 11
Celeborn- 8
Hama- 1

I hope this is allowed

Yes it is.

[Boromir88]

That does it, votings over and Saruman is the next to go.

His manipulative voice and the way he was beginning to sway all those he talked to began to worry the Tribe...His "Gibbets and Crows!" at the Goodbye Ceremony exposed who he really was. Audious Saruman

Also as a little note. I like how the thread is so competitive, and split, it adds to the survivorness (I think). However, I realize tensions could escalate and cause some problems. So, as a warning, keep the the competitive atmosphere, just don't get too out of hand and let it escalate or I may have the B-W close it down.

Golly, Glirdan, she's absolutely right. I don't know who to put my trust in now. *sigh* Poor Sam. Never to be revenged. I can not face the multitudes when you will not remain firm. I shall leave Celeborn (for now) and vote for he that Sam would like to see gone most of all, were he here.

[The Only Real Estel]

I’ve got to quickly cast my vote for: ++MoveGothmog

He ruined the waffle iron by hitting himself with it repeatedly, he refuses to trim those freakishly long nose hairs and he keeps talking about how the Age of Man is ending. That’s plain freaky. And I can’t stand the way he thinks he’s trash talking the other tribes with his stale “Fear...the opposing tribe is rank with it” line. :rolleyes:

[arcticstorm]

I will vote for him who has made a mockery of the true leiutenant of morgul, a true warg. I cannot bear to watch someone take the place of a glorious warg and be allowed to live this long.

++Gothmog (movie)

[Celuien]

I would like to get rid of Pallando, but I'll save that for another day.

++GOTHMOG

For all the reasons given above. And he's too good a leader for the Orc tribe. His insipid speeches have actually kept Grishnakh and Ugluk from fighting each other long enough to launch raids on the rest of the island.

[Lalaith]

Actually I think getting rid of all movie travesties would do this island a world of good so:

++GOTHMOG

I think I'll have a look at Faramir next.

Not that it will do anything.

Interesting story. I was pondering the "WWJD" bracelets you see around when I thought to myself: What would Pallando do? The answer is obviously run off into the East and abandon his tribe. Not good.

[Boromir88]

I'm gonna go with Thranduil today. I don't like the guy and considering Legolas is out...all Thranduil does is make profit off of others. He just sits around on a pile of his jewels all day and gets fat off people feeding him all the coconuts.

To all good citizens of Middle-earth:

My friends, the Shadow rises again. Dark forces are at work on the Survivor island. And how can I see this? In a horrifying move, many otherwise good folk are attempting to protect a foul beast of Mordor, the hideous pink movie-Orc Gothmog. And how do they seek to aid this monster in his evil deeds? By attacking one of the truest defenders Middle-earth has had against Sauron and his cruelty. Celeborn, Lord of Lorien, fairest of the Elf-realms remaining East of the Sea. And what has he done to deserve this enmity? Nothing, other than to inspire loyalty and courage in his followers, to exist in an equal partnership with his wife, Galadriel the Ringbearer, and to look really, really good with his beautiful silver hair. Can we allow this travesty of justice to occur? I hope not.

[mormegil]

Not being in the mood for another battle I will vote

++Thranduil

I must congatulate the anti-Celeborn camp and Pro-Sam camp on their hard work to get this wonderful victory. We have shown this alliance that they can't always push us around.

Edit: I must give kudos to Folwren for her unwearying leadership in this effort. :smokin:

Congratulations to the the other anti-Celeborners. It was a fun fight, especially the clandestine stuff.

He just wanders off into the forest each day saying that he's talking to the birds. He must be crazy.

Thank you, old fellow. I may have been unwearying during the fight, but now it's over, I tremble with the exursion. I just about blew up in poor Boromir's face when I recounted myself and found it to be even...I'd thought he cheated us on purpose. Good chap recounted and evened it out for us. Thanks, Boromir.

As for me, I shall withdraw from the game. I count Sam as avenged, for I have both rid the island of Bilbo and Celeborn.

Farewell, all.

-- Folwren

P.S. If you have any bones to pick with me for leading this band against Celeborn, write me so that I'm not clueless. And mind that it wasn't Glirdan's fault.

Ignore that. I was the leader in the attempt to be rid of Celeborn. But I could not have done it without the help of Folwren. If you have anything to say, say it ot both of us. I can't let you take all the blame friend.

I will not withdraw from this, yet.... I have people I need to protect but I will not attack any Elves for the time being, unless it's Thranduil.

My vote will be...

++Radagast

For reasons I've stated yesterday.

[Kitanna]

Ignore that. I was the leader in the attempt to be rid of Celeborn.
Being a leader means unwavering commitment to the cause. You changed your vote away from Celeborn every day. Therefore Folwren was the leader, I'm afraid.

[Glirdan]

It's more complicated than what you see in posts Kitanna. It goes into PM's between myself and Folwren and others. Yes, she is the leader for getting revenge for poor Sam, but I was going for Celeborn for how long now??? Go back and see how many times I voted for him. I changed once to help Folwren get rid of Bilbo for her payback on TGWBS. And yesterday was a ploy to lure everyone into a false sense of security. And I must say that it almost failed but worked out in the end, which I'm happy for.

[Formendacil]

For the moment, I will obey the hypnotic dictates of Davem's signature, and forget that I was ever a member of the Anti-Elven League, and return to attacking...

Oh, yes, Kitanna. It's much more complicated than all that. Glirdan did pretty much zero down our attack on Celeborn. My only target at first was Bilbo, but Glirdan so wanted Celeborn gone that I figured I could do that as well.

But as for him changing his vote - he only voted for Bilbo that once, and that was fore me, and for whoever he voted for yesterday, but that was for a plot that had to be made in order to get Celeborn off. It barely worked, but it worked all the same.

As for me not taking all the blame...ah, I'll take it. I don't mind too much. That's half the best part of causing tons of trouble. I couldn't live with myself if I was never made to pay for all the things I did. ;)

And I may take back the comment about leaving the game...I've been asked to stay. I'll have to see what I want to do.

Come now, Milord Felagund! How do you expect to oust ANY wizards when you go dividing up the vote like that? Thranduil is easily competing with any of them. If you certainly want a wizard removed, then you ought to decisively join a bandwaggon. Radagast has good odds, certainly, but I would rather draw your attention to my own peccadillo: The Anti-Pallando Society (TAPS).

[Mithalwen]

++ Ugluk ...

[Thinlómien]

We should really get rid of ++Pallando.

[Anguirel]

Today is a dark day, my friends. Today we mourn for the loss of one who was a hero and a captain to all the Fair Folk.

I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil. Yet mighty was the lord, meet was his passing. He waits across the sea. And he knows we shall rise and avenge him.

For Celeborn, Lord of the Galadrim, went not idly. Around him as he leant upon his notched blade lay the bodies of dozens of foes; great Lords of Men; Wizards of mickle power and craft; enigmas and halflings. And even the great Orc that undid him fell to his riposte.

Aye, Celeborn made his mark and defended his honour; no little leech he; no vanity-puffed Silvertop. Brave were his blows and sagacious his counsel. He leaves behind him an alliance of united friends; his foes are bitter and divided, squabbling over petty kingships.

Namarie Celeborn, Lord of Lorinand! We will remember you with each stroke of our vote. Namarie Celeborn of the Trees!

Heirs of Celeborn, well-garbed in robes
Alabaster of feature, swift-running fell archers
Together we'll harry the burners of leaves
With our arrows, our spears, and our well-formed speeches.
And thus I entreat you to fall on the yrch
And to massacre ++Ugluk, a girthed piece of brawn
A swiller of filthmead and spoiler of lands
In him let us plant our bright angry steel.

[WaynetheGoblin]

++Thranduril

He is very grouchy, and is hogging all the wine in his jail cellar!

[mormegil]

++Thranduil

Since this is LotR Survivor, so what's he got to do with anything anyway?

I think this is a great piece of advice. Plus he unjustly imprisons Dwarves and let's Gollum escape. We don't need this kind of nincompoopery on this camp.

++THRANDUIL

[Glirdan]

++Thranduil

He locked up the Dwarves and let Gollum escape, not that that isn't a good thing as we saw in the end. But as said before, this is LOTR Survivor, not Hobbit Survivor, and the only important thing he did was be the father of Legolas, and that's not exactly something to be proud of.

She is rugged yet soft. Strong yet weak...you get the idea.

quit right you are!

She is terribel to be around, you newer know were you have her.

[Alcarillo]

One big mood swing!? She is one of the heroes of the War of the Ring. She goes off to battle disguised as a man and you call it a mood swing? She kills the Witch-King and you call it a mood swing? The only mood swing of hers I know of is her switch from loving Aragorn to loving Faramir. She is now the hardest working member of the Men-and-Rohan-Lady Tribe, and they would be lost without her.

++Gollum
Now, how this little bugger made it this far is beyond me. He's a traitorous, mean thing. Not to mention he's (books) naked. COME ON! He's been around for 500 years or so, there's no way his clothes lasted that long, even as rags.

Aside from the nakedness, he annoys the heck out of all the other contestants. They have enough problems as it is, without him going on about "his precious" and fish. And the arguments he has with himself is just plain creepy...
