Voting will begin at 5:00 pm (Eastern Standard Time) til 5:00 the next day.

Edit: I posted this after 5 so for the first day I'll extend 5 minutes, unless it's not a big deal.

[The Perky Ent]

Well...i'm not sure exactly if it's time, or how this is suppost to work, but i'll go anyways

++Arwen

She's always whining, and never helps with the immunity challenges. And during tribal council, she always just sits there and whines.

++Arwen

[Boromir88]

Perky, you did it right, I guess I should add that you may vote anytime you want.

Voting goes from 5 pm until 5 pm the next day, vote anytime between that. Whoever has the most votes for that day will be off, then the next day of voting begins. Good choice.

I suppose I'll vote now too...

So many choices, you make a good case for Arwen, she has been rather whiny. But I got to go with Alatar, this guy just doesn't do anything. He just loafs around all day and is never any help. I'm sure his accomplice Pallando will have to go soon too.

So today...
++Alatar

[Kitanna]

I like the idea, though I'm not sure how this is working, but here goes...

++Lotho Sackville-Baggins
He's so lazy and selfish. The only time he ever helps is when it directly benefits him. He also whines too much and he keeps starting fights with other teammates. He simply must go.

[The Perky Ent]

*Puts on Balrog Mask*

Balrog-Ent: I vote ++Arwen. Like perky said, she brings down the morale of the group. I'd rather not have the wizards than have her.


I hope to make an avatar so you can see my Balrog form. If only i dind't leave photoshop back at my house...

[Celuien]

++Gollum

Arwen may be whiny and annoying, but Gollum is a plain nuisance. I'm tired of hearing him constantly lament his lost precioussss. And he's always causing squabbles between the Sackville-Bagginses and Bilbo by bringing up the story of his adventures. Furthermore, both Frodo and Bilbo are tired of being called "thief, Baggins" all day. It's putting quite a damper on the hobbits' spirits. And frankly, I don't want to hear it anymore either.

Besides, Gollum is always stealing my fish. It takes all day to catch a fish on this island, and hard work it is too. I just want to have some nice, tasty grilled salmon without having to hear about how I've spoiled the nice fissh or needing to play tug-of-war against Mr. Gollum's teeth.

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

I'd like to vote for

++Radagast!

Those birds of his keep flying all over the place and making such a ghastly mess all over everything. This is the third time I've had to wash my hair this afternoon alone. Either he and his birds go, or I do!

[Alcarillo]

I must band-wagon with the Perky Ent on this one.

++Arwen

After how she so rudely pushed Glorfindel out of the picture, she deserves it.

[The Saucepan Man]

Surely it's a no brainer.

++GANDALF

He gets out of the tasks by saying that he can only "guide" since some "higher authority" prevents him from direct participation. When things need doing, he disappears for hours on end on some unspecified "business" and then appears again all of a sudden without explanation. He is irritable, even more so now that the pipeweed has run out. And he can also be a bit of a bully, picking on Pippin and Denethor in particular.

What's more, if we vote him off now maybe he will return as Gandalf the White Survivor and be a bit more darn useful around the camp.

[Glirdan]

Yes I definetely agree with the Arwen arguement and therefore I shall vote...

++ARWEN

She pushed Glorfindel from his horse just to get a bigger role in the movie!! Why couldn't she have gone with her dear old dad into the West and never return and thus leave all of the rest alone.

[Durelin]

Wow. I finally get to off some of 'em.

But which one...

I'm leaing toward Thranduil, for having Legolas. What was he thinking?

Or maybe Sauron, for just being a total bi-otch and stealing the Witch-King's limelight.

Hmm... Well, here goes.

++The Saucepan Man

Woops...I mean,

++Thranduil (for reasons stated above)

[arcticstorm]

I am going to vote for

++Grishnakh

he is always quareling with the other members of his tribe and is all set on stealing things from the hobbit tribe.

[Boromir88]

Perky, sorry, I must discount Balrog-Ents vote unless we happen to have a tie, we can't have mass lynchings...I mean..cast offs.

Kitanna, don't know if you are familiar with the show or not, but basically there's 12 people sent to an island all by themselves (though I doubt it). The losing tribe in the challenge has to vote one of their players off. Well, here to keep things simple, simply vote for one of the LOTR characters on the list. At the end of the days' voting the person with the most is "cast off" and we continue to the next. Again, voting for this day will be done at 5 pm (Eastern standard time, which I think is 9 pm barrowdowns time, if you want to figure out yours from there).

Hmm... Well, here goes.

++The Saucepan Man

Haha, Durelin, ahh the werewolf is all in us. Good logic for Thranduil, what was he thinking?

So far the votes are...

Arwen- 3
Radagast- 1
Thranduil- 1
Alatar- 1
Gandalf- 1
Grishnakh- 1
Gollum- 1
Lotho- 1

And Saucepan- 1...oops, disregard that. :p

[Glirdan]

Hmm... Well, here goes.

++The Saucepan Man

Haha, Durelin, ahh the werewolf is all in us.

Yes GIl, it is, it is. The good old Werewolf game, which just happens to be my first and I've lasted this long!! :eek: I thought I would have been lynched or attacked by now. But I'm not complaining.

[Formendacil]

Although there are characters much more worthy of being destroyed... er, sent home, than those who have already been voted for, I will limit myself to that list for today's vote, for the simple fact that the list is otherwise enormous.

And so I add my vote to that of Kitanna's, and consequently vote for:

++Lotho Sackville-Baggins.

The evidence against Lotho is copious, and to go into it all here would be a pointless waste of many valuable seconds of my time. So, for the three main reasons.

LOTHO IS LAZY

Being stuck in Survivor Middle-Earth (Late Third Age Edition) is bad enough, without being lazy. There are only 42 people on this island, and everybody needs to do his or her fair share of the work. Not doing so is far more than unfair, it is practically criminal. And we all know that Lotho is among the laziest of hobbits.

LOTHO IS A WHINER

Even worse than being trapped with 40 people and one lazy person is being trapped with 40 people and one whiny person. One might be able to put up with Lotho doing no work. Putting up with Lotho's incessant whining just isn't going to happen.

LOTHO HAS NO ALLIES

Even his mother was alienated when she was sent to the Lockholes. And don't go looking to Grima or Sharkey for support.

Those are the three, main, judicious reasons. Reasons for which ANY islander would be executed... I mean, sent home. But there is a fourth, overwhelming reason.

"THE PIMPLE"

Lotho Sackville-Baggins is also known to history as 'the Pimple'. Witness any teenager's loathing and disgust of this eponym, and you will see why he ought to go. Never mind baddies like Sauron, or perverts like the Wormtongue, Middle-Earth Island will be a MUCH more pleasant place without the 'the Pimple'.

++Lotho Sackville-Baggins

[The Perky Ent]

No mass lynching? Awww, you got my hopes up :(

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Which Gothmog are we talking about? The winged one or the Man? :smokin:

Because I'm about to vote for Bombadil, so he'd stop confusing people, when I realised Balrogs (and the Third Age Gothmog) confuse people, too.

Meanwhile, I vote for

++Frodo

Because he does nothing around the camp except mope. And, 'Sorry, but I can't carry stuff around because I'm nine-fingered.' isn't a good excuse.

[Dimcollowen]

well...I would have to vote ++Arwen because she is just soo dang annoying! When she isn't whining and complaing she's attempting boss every1 else around! Like just because she is an Elf she can get her way!! DO you see Galadriel doing that??? I think not!!
Oh! and another thing! She is always hanging all over Aragorn at the immunity challenges!! And that whole thing with Glorfingel!!! The worst part is when she is back at camp away from Aragorn she is constantly flirting with Legolas or Celeborn! First off she's married to Aragorn why would she even consider flirting with them?! And Secondly Celeborn is married to Galadriel get over it Arwen!!! Jeez!! I think that one of these days we are going to a cat from those 2 over him....

[The Only Real Estel]

Boromir, is this 'book' Survivor or 'movie' Survivor?

Because if it's movie then I'm strongly considering Gothmog for obvious reasons...

[Mithalwen]

While there are other people I could do without - Arwen (bbok or movie) is going to have to get the vote. Unless one of the challenges involve sewing she is going to be in the chocolate teapot category of usefulness. And she is a disruptive influence. For some reason none of the guys seem to focus on the task when she is around. Also she insists on sittting alone under the one canopy the tribe have managed to rig up with their basic equipment and the basic rice rations are incompatible with her trendy diet.

She has to go.


++Arwen


I don't see why you are so down on Thranduil. Even if he wasn't thinking of the consequence of his ... err...actions, Legolas has long reached the age of discretion so I think is high time that Legolas was blamed for Legolas rather than his father.
And book Legolas is unobjectionable, only the film version is "Prince Legolas the Perpetually Confused, Officer in Charge of Stating the Blindingly Obvious and Designated Dumb Blond.

[The Saucepan Man]

Unless one of the challenges involve sewing she is going to be in the chocolate teapot category of usefulness.How ironic if Arwen goes and the next day's task involves the creation of a standard for a returning king ... ;)

[Cailín]

Everyone just jumps on the band-wagon to vote Arwen off. Hm, there's something suspicious about that.

Anyway, I shall have to vote Gollum. Though his constant preciousss may amuse some of you, I simply find it annoying that before every immunity challenge he has to have an extended debate with himself whether he has to do his best or screw it up for the others. He's just an unreliable teamplayer. At least with Sauron we know what we're dealing with. Also, who put him in charge of meals? I'd like my fish not so raw for once, thank you.

++GOLLUM

[Mithalwen]

Everyone just jumps on the band-wagon to vote Arwen off. Hm.there's something suspicious





There is always the possibility that a lot of people find Arwen annoying. I found film Arwen annoying ( Liv Tyler has one of those faces I just want to smack to make it look surprised for a reason - though I do feel a bit mean since she does seem from what one can tell to be a remarkably grounded person especially given her unorthodox background), whereas book Arwen is merely dull.

Cailin - I think you may be playing the wrong game ...... ;)

[The Only Real Estel]

How ironic if Arwen goes and the next day's task involves the creation of a standard for a returning king ...

++ Arwen

Surely if the next day's task involves a standard we can just have Elrond come up with one. ;) Arwen is a bit whiny, she's disobedient, she sits in her tent on her tushy while other people do her tasks, & the way she refuses to stop distracting Aragorn brings up memories of Rob & Amber. Arwen has to go.

[Boromir88]

Sorry, I was running a bit later than intended, but voting is closed, and I will count up the votes and see who the first cast off is.

Estel, it's movie, with the Pinky Gothmog.

[Boromir88]

Final Votes...

Arwen- 6
Lotho- 2
Gollum- 2
Frodo- 1
Radagast- 1
Alatar- 1
Thranduil- 1
Gandalf- 1
Grishnakh- 1

Arwen, has been chosen, the members could not take her whininess and stealing Glorfindel's horse. And for being so darn attractive The tribe has spoken, Arwen, has been voted off.

So, who's left...

Hobbits:
Frodo
Sam
Merry
Pippin
Bilbo
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins
Lotho Sackville-Baggins
Gollum

Men and Rohan Lady:
Aragorn
Boromir
Denethor
Faramir
Theoden
Eomer
Eowyn
Grima
Hama

Wizards:
Gandalf
Saruman
Radagast
Alatar
Pallando

Elves:
Elrond
Glorfindel
Galadriel
Celeborn
Legolas
Haldir
Thranduil
Cirdan

Dwarves:
Gimli
Gloin

Others:
Treebeard
Quickbeam
Tom Bombadil
Goldberry

Badguys:
Sauron
Witch-King
Gothmog (Movie)
Ugluk
Grishnakh

Voting for the next cast-off may begin. Books or movies can apply, with characters from both. Again, Gothmog the orc in the movie, not the Balrog, I suppose I should make that more clear... :p

[The Perky Ent]

++Grima

He's always making alliances, and then breaking them. You can't tell whose side he's on. He's really ugly looking, and making the tribe vommit. Moreso, he just looks untrustworthy!

++Grima

[The Only Real Estel]

++ The Witch King

Because it's not fair that he is guaranteed immunity unless a tribe with a female in it goes up against his tribe.

[Glirdan]

He's always making alliances, and then breaking them.

Wouldn't that be Saruman seeing as he was the one who double crossed the Council?

Anyway, my vote would be....

++Witch-King
Every time he talks, he makes a screeching sound. You can't understand him and it's annoying. Not to mention he keeps trying to stab people with his little poisonous dagger and try to kill Eowyn with his giant flail. Like come on.

[Boromir88]

You know I was coming in thinking about voting for Grima. He does slyly join and break alliances and you never know what he's up to. We know he's only working for himself, but...

Estel, makes a great argument for the Witch-king. He can become to powerful, he's right the only way he can lose is if a woman stands against him, which just isn't fair.

++The Witch-King

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

++ Haldir

Haldir, what on earth were you doing at Helm's Deep? You don't belong there at all. Ever. I don't care what Galadriel or Theoden or Peter Jackson or whoever sent you says, haven't you heard of striking? Next time Haldir, go with the picket signs...

[arcticstorm]

I agree with the Grima argument, you can never tell whose side he is on therefore:

++Grima

[Alcarillo]

++Gandalf

He always walks around the camp uncloaked. Can't he just keep his cloak on?

[WaynetheGoblin]

++GANDALF I agree with alcarillo.

[Formendacil]

Gollum had a fair bit of support last time, so I'll throw my vote in behind him, in the hopes that the old voters will pull through, and we will have the slimy creature lynched... I mean, voted off.

Gollum is, first of all, a very slippery character, going by the assorted names of Gollum, Smeagol, Stinker, Slinker, and My Precious, depending on the situation at hand. He is also physically slimy.

Furthermore, Gollum is definitely not a team player, a serious liability to whoever is unfortunately stuck with him on this Middle-Earth Island. Look at the evidence to that effect. He kills his closest friend for a shiny bauble. He is kicked out of his village (an important precedent to consider), and proceeds to live- ALONE- at the base of a mountain for several centuries.

Once forced into the open, he continues to play a solitary game. He betrays everyone: Mordor, Frodo, even his own stinking self. The only creature he teams up with is Shelob (a nasty teammate, I might add), but he ends up botching that too.

Gollum also has a decidedly greedy and petty nature, only interested in fish and gold rings, which he covets very greedily, and goes to any length to acquire.

Quite clearly, the fellow is nasty, and should be eliminated. Let us follow the example of his grandmother- his GRANDMOTHER, mind- and send him away.

++ Gollum

[The Saucepan Man]

++GANDALF

Same reasons as yester-Day (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=411540&postcount=9).

Plus he's been destabilising the Wizard tribe, undermining Saruman's leadership, ignoring Alatar and Pallando as if they were not there, and taunting Radagast for not being "sufficiently dedicated" to his task.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

According to the rules of Middle-earth, all votes made for the Witch-King by male mortals will be considered null and void. :p

Although I agree with the reasons for voting him out. He could kill all non-male mortal beings, and win by default. And since I'm not a mortal, I could vote for him. So,

++Witch-King

Oh, and one more thing: Decide what gender you want! Witch-King. Sheesh!

[Boromir88]

So far votes are...

Witch-king- 4
Gandalf- 3
Grima- 2
Gollum- 1
Haldir- 1


Gandalf's racking up a bunch of opposition...

[Firefoot]

++Gandalf

In addition to reasons already said, he's one of those guys who has connections to everybody. He's probably got a string of alliances going already, and no doubt he'll start pulling strings later in the game to keep himself in it. If we don't vote him out now, he's going to be running the whole game.

And really, we all know that he can make fire with just a word or two, so what's with all this loafing around? He could be a real help if he put his mind to it, but nooo.

[Gurthang]

Well, it's pretty widely known that Frodo is a freakin' pansy! Off with his Head!

Err, ehem... Yes, as Nilp pointed out yesterday, he does nothing but mope around the camp complaining. "My shoulder aches.", "My hand aches.", or "I feel so empty now that it's gone." And what's worse, all this keeps Sam from doing very much. Sam is a very good worker, but he's so worried about Frodo, he doesn't do anything but try to make him feel better. So Frodo has got to go.

++Frodo

[Kitanna]

++ Legolas
I was going to vote for Lotho again, but Legolas and his excessive prancing about and constant washing of his hair in the water supply is really riding my nerves! I will not rest until the pretty boy is brought down.

[Mithalwen]

Well I am quite happy to vote Gandalf today - apart from other factors (the uncloaked thing is unpleasant true) - on paper he is one of the strongest tribe members but he never does much - at least not without fatal procrastination. THe tribe cannot afford to wait 16 years for him to act on crucial information - and then merely delegate. At least the witch king is proactive and dynamic though I think Sauron may have an unnatural hold on him.

And he smells.

++ Gandalf

[Boromir88]

Votings closed, I'll tally em up.

[Boromir88]

Gandalf- 5
Witch-King- 4
Grima- 2
Frodo- 1
Legolas- 1
Haldir- 1
Gollum- 1

Gandalf, has been chosen. He thought he could be like Richard Hatch and win the million dollars by constantly being uncloaked, but it doesn't pay off with this trive. The tribe has spoken, Gandalf is the second to go.

Who's left?

Hobbits:
Frodo
Sam
Merry
Pippin
Bilbo
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins
Lotho Sackville-Baggins
Gollum

Men and Rohan Lady:
Aragorn
Boromir
Denethor
Faramir
Theoden
Eomer
Eowyn
Grima
Hama

Wizards:
Saruman
Radagast
Alatar
Pallando

Elves:
Elrond
Glorfindel
Galadriel
Celeborn
Legolas
Haldir
Thranduil
Cirdan

Dwarves:
Gimli
Gloin

Others:
Treebeard
Quickbeam
Tom Bombadil
Goldberry

Badguys:
Sauron
Witch-King
Gothmog (Movie)
Ugluk
Grishnakh

Voting may begin again, for the third person to be casted off.

[Glirdan]

I'm gonna stick with my other vote.

++Witch-King

For the same reasons as I previously stated.

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

I vote

++ Movie!Gothmog! He's got the mother of all sunburns, and he's a bit tyrannical to boot: All that sun must've gone to his head. I say we send him home to recover.

(and if anyone finds this vote suspicious, please ignore the giant "LYNCH ME" that must be written across my forehead... :p )

[The Perky Ent]

++Witch King


Let's just get him out of the way.

I move for a double lynch!

[The Only Real Estel]

++ Witch King

Like I said before, immunity should be something you have to work for.

[Glirdan]

The double lynching isn't exactly funny to me. Looks like this is our last day Azaelia. Good game though! ;)

[The Perky Ent]

EDITED because I need to hang out with the balrogs in the padded walls

[WaynetheGoblin]

Witch king like everybody else ++witch king.

[Alcarillo]

++Witch-King

[WaynetheGoblin]

No matter what witch king is next to go.

[The Only Real Estel]

Guys, I really don't think anything about the Werewolf games is supposed to posted or PMd or anything until after the game...

[Glirdan]

Guys, I really don't think anything about the Werewolf games is supposed to posted or PMd or anything until after the game...

Curses, curses and more curses! :mad: Oh well, I can wait..... anyway. As Wayne said, it's most likely buh bye Witch-King. And as Alca put it, go bandwagoning!!! :D

[wilwarin538]

I vote for

++Grishnakh

Because he has a weird name and he smells. :D

[Celuien]

Well now. I still want to vote for Gollum for the same reasons as before. But it seems that the tide of public opinion has turned against The Witch King today. So my vote goes to ++ The Witch-King despite my misgivings about Gollum. May I suggest that we look more closely at hs situation and lynch him tomorrow?

But I am happy to be eliminating old Witchy. He's a nuisance to have around and he scares me with his constant lurking in the shadows. Besides, who wears heavy black robes on a tropical island? That's almost worse than walking around...uncloaked. :D

[Firefoot]

++Witch-king

I mean, come on! Three people today have already come down with a case of the Black Breath! Thankfully Aragorn's still around, and there's athelas on this island...
Anyway, the WK is nothing but a liability to keep around. He's got to go.

[Kitanna]

++ movie Legolas

I will not stop until the nancing and prancing it put to an end!

[Formendacil]

Once again, just to be contrary, I'm not going to go with the primary vote, but with someone else, in hopes of creating a large enough bloc to get someone else lynched.

Don't get me wrong, the Witchking is a worthy target and all, but I feel that there are more important characters to get rid of first. At least the Witchking is a great and powerful member of his tribe, actually useful for something.

Legolas, on the other hand, is not.

Maybe it's all these years of having his once-noble image trod into prissyness, or maybe it's the tension of not knowing his true hair colour, or maybe it's the trauma of being associated with the "Legolas' hare" thread.

Whatever it may be, the poor Elf has gone insane, and is now totally useless to his tribe. Even Tolkien admitted it when he said that Legolas had, "probably accomplished the least of all the Fellowship".

Therefore, I vote:

++Legolas Greenleaf

[The Saucepan Man]

Yes, let's try to make this interesting.

For being a complete wuss and wailing Ai! Ai! A Bug! A Bug is come! when a tiny spider crawled across his bedding:

++LEGOLAS

[Boromir88]

I got news that my niece in Michigan is going to get married, and I'll be up there until Sunday, without internet access. So, there's a few options.

One can step up and take over the thread for a few days. (Friday thru Sunday).

Or, I can close voting at around 2-ish when I plan on leaving and we'll put the thread on hold until Monday. Whatever you are up to, please let me know before 2 (Eastern Standard time), so let's see that 6 GMT (downs) time.

[Glirdan]

I have no problem stepping up for you Boro.

Congrats my dear friend.

[Boromir88]

TY Glirdan, that'll be perfect.

Ok votes so far go...

Hmm, it seems like the WK's fate is pretty much sealed. I am interested in making this a challenge though, for I have never really liked Legolas, especially in the movies. As been said his screaming (and singing may I add) gets quite annoying. And really what's with his surfing too? Does he think he's some PacSun model?

++Legolas

Witch-King- 7
Legolas- 4
Grishnakh- 1
MovieGothmog- 1

[arcticstorm]

Legolas has been too afraid of messing his hair up to help in assembling the shelters or helping with anything. He is more of a liability than an asset.

++Legolas

[Formendacil]

Come on people!

More votes for Legolas!!! Let's rid Middle-earth of the injustice of his existence! Only two more votes and he ties the Witchking. Only three more votes and he's ahead. After that it's bandwaggoning time!!!

Come on, who here doesn't have a grudge against the Prince of Prissy? Not only is he girly, blond(e), dainty, eternally clean, Captain Obvious, somewhat dimwitted, and not much help- the girls are all over him! Come on men, let us rid the world of this unwanted, unliked competition! Come on ladies, let's rid the world of this embarrassment to any intelligent man-seeking woman! Come on those of you with unspecified gender! This guy gives you a bad name!

Admiral of the Anti-Legolas Coalition,

~Formendacil~

[Gil-Galad]

++Sam


hes never been my favorite...

[Nerindel]

While movie Legolas irratates me with is clean cut image and showy antics, Shield surfing I mean come on that was just too far :rolleyes: But I can't forget the haliriously funny comradery between him an a fellow dwarven contenter....so I will reserve judgement on him for now.

Now the Witch king there is one pushy guy..er..wraith... er...thingy I mean he pushes everyone about shouting about how no man can defeat him so cocky and self assure I think he needs brought down a peg or two, so this woman's vote goes to the ++Witch king :p

[The Saucepan Man]

I would point out that the Witch-King currently has only 5 votes. Those from Estel, Glirdan and Alcarillo do not count as the Witch-King will not fall by the vote of a Man. :p

[Anguirel]

Gloin is too old and decrepit for this kind of thing. It's undignified. Besides, food always gets caught in his tangled beard. He's a hygiene risk.

++GLOIN

[Lhunardawen]

Come on people!

More votes for Legolas!!! Let's rid Middle-earth of the injustice of his existence! Only two more votes and he ties the Witchking. Only three more votes and he's ahead. After that it's bandwaggoning time!!!

Come on, who here doesn't have a grudge against the Prince of Prissy? Not only is he girly, blond(e), dainty, eternally clean, Captain Obvious, somewhat dimwitted, and not much help- the girls are all over him! Come on men, let us rid the world of this unwanted, unliked competition! Come on ladies, let's rid the world of this embarrassment to any intelligent man-seeking woman! Come on those of you with unspecified gender! This guy gives you a bad name!
Now, now, Formendacil...that's not nice. :p

But then again, even among the women he is involved in competition. He hogs all the raspberry shampoo from that reward challenge to himself. (Have you seen poor Éowyn's hair (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=411943&postcount=7200)?) And he spends too much time washing his hair, thus causing the seawater to be so soapy that all the fish are driven away from the shore, so not even Gollum can catch a fissh so juicy sweet! He's a nuisance, I tells ya. Away with her, er, him!

++LEGOLAS GREENLEAF

Now don't you all go thinking I'm a werewolf just because I got on this bandwagon. *howls*

[The Only Real Estel]

Come on, people. We all know Legolas is a nuisance but what Saucepan Man said just illustrates the point:

I would point out that the Witch-King currently has only 5 votes. Those from Estel, Glirdan and Alcarillo do not count as the Witch-King will not fall by the vote of a Man.

He's just to powerful!

In the true spirit of Survivor I'm willing to make a bargain, a deal. If Witchie gets voted off this round I'll join the bandwagon for Legolas next round. :cool:

[Mithalwen]

I am not going to vote Legolas - there might be an archery challenge and with so many of the uglies around he is at least eye candy. Since you need more female votes and it is time we got rid of one of the true nasties

++ WITCH KING


NB - THat is not a lot of notice for a wedding Mr 88..... most people just go to the cinema if there is nothing much on at the weekend...... :p

[Hiriel]

I would vote for WK just because that mace has got to be a standing tetnis hazard after being on the island and his "little flying pet", Fluffums, has no conception of what and where the latrine is.

++Witch King

[Boromir88]

So far votes go...

Witch-King- 10
Legolas- 6
Grishnakh- 1
Gloin- 1
Sam- 1
Gothmog- 1

Sauce, even without the fellows vote for the WK I think he would still be gone, his destiny looks pretty set right now. Though, nice attempt to save him. :p

Anyway, those are the votes, I must be heading off. I'll leave things in Glirdan's hands until my return Monday.

[Glirdan]

Yes Saucy, very nice attempt. But I'm a Wight not exactly living either. I'm in the Halls of Mandos in a techinicallity manner, seeing as I am a Elf who has died. But I like it here in the Downs more, so I think I'll stay here.

And as Boro said, I will be taking over until his return. So, only about an hour left to vote people, let's get those votes for Witchie!! And as soon as he's gone, I'm going to bandwagon with the Legolas thingy. YAY FOR BANDWAGONING!!!!! :D

[Glirdan]

Well, voting is over. I'll be back with the elimination, though I'm sure we all know who it is..... ;)

[Glirdan]

Here are the tallied votes:

Witch-King-10
Legolas-6
Grishnkh-1
MiveGothmog-1
Sam-1
Gloin-1

The Witch-King has been voted off. Due to his constant screeching noises, his constant attack with a giant flail on Eowyn, his fettish of attacking people with poisned daggers, his constant lurking in the shadows and his Black Breath has taken down three other contestants, but thanks to Aragorn, they will be saved. The tribe has spoken, Witchie is out on Day 3.

The rest of the contestants are as follows:

Hobbits
Bilbo
Frodo
Gollum
Lobelia Sackvilee-Baggins
Lotho Sackville-Baggins
Merry
Pippin
Sam

Men and Rohan Lady
Aragorn
Boromir
Denethor
Eomer
Eowyn
Faramir
Grima
Hama
Theoden

Wizards
Alatar
Pallando
Radagast
Saruman

Dwarves
Gimli
Gloin

Elves
Celeborn

Glorfindel
Haldir
Legolas
Thranduil

Others
Goldberry
Quickbeam
Tom Bombadil
Treebeard

Badguys
Grishnakh
MovieGothmog
Sauron
Ugluk

Voting starts for the fourth person to be chucked ruthlessly by the rest off of the island.

[The Perky Ent]

Ruthlessly chucked off the Island? I know jsut the right man...or should i say ....elf....


++LEGOLAS!!!

[wilwarin538]

I will vote for someone who no one else will vote for, just to be special :D

++Gloin

[Glirdan]

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and vote for

++Legolas

He's girly, a wussy, Captain Obvious and always seems to have a full quiver of arrows, and never run out!!! :eek: How do you accomplish that!?!? :confused:

[Formendacil]

For the first time on this thread, I will go along on the bandwaggon. Of course, I WAS the one who started it in the last round....

Legolas, you may be pretty and have a legion of fans, but stating the obvious is not going to save you from getting on the first boat off of Middle-Earth. The time has come to end all pointy-eared anomalies (Elves do not have pointy ears. ;) )

++Legolas Greenleaf

[Kitanna]

++Legolas

[The Saucepan Man]

You know, it's dreadfully dull when everyone votes in the same way ...

So I'll be different.

++Tom Bombadil

For failure to apply himself to the tasks and camp duties. He's always off in the jungle talking to otters and chatting up some river-woman's daughter. He's completely lost interest in the competition. It's clearly of no import to him. And what does he add to the show? Nothing. Happily there are no carnivorous trees or barrow-wights on the island and, even if there were, the Ents and Sauron respectively could deal with them. The novelty factor of his outrageous costume has worn out, not least because his yellow boots are now covered in mud, and all those ring-a-ding-dillo's are beginning to grate.

It's time for him to go.

[The Perky Ent]

Well...the main reason I'm jumping to the band wagons is the sheer amount of people. There are some person (witch king, legolas, arwen, Sackville Baggins) who people just, as a group, hate. Maybe, if there's that much of a census, we should just throw several off the plank, so we can have more interesting debates on who should get voted off. Just a thought

[Firefoot]

I agree, SpM... too much bandwaggoning's not good for anyone.

++Frodo (movie)

That weakling... always falling over and tripping over his own feet. He's a horrible liability in team challenges, and he just gets in everyone's way in the individual ones. Sam is the only one who can get him to go anywhere and do anything; he's so annoyingly dependent. He doesn't always even pay it back in kind - sometimes the look in his eyes when he looks at Sam is down-right venomous. He doesn't do much around camp, either - complaining about some other heavy burden. As if everyone else doesn't have their own problems around camp.

Besides, he's a distractor to everyone else. Been paying attention to Gollum lately? or Boromir or Denethor or Saruman? And don't forget Sauron, of course...

Besides, he's an usuper of an amazing book character. He's just got to go.

[Gil-Galad]

++Sam again...

[WaynetheGoblin]

++LEGOLES I never liked him.

[Celuien]

Enough of this bandwagoning, already. :) I'll vote for ++Goldberry today.

Why Goldberry you may ask, with Gollum still around to bite everyone's ankles? There was a lot of talk in the Tom/Goldberry camp about spring cleaning and it's been cloudy and drizzling since we've been here, so I strongly suspect she's responsible. I'd really like to see the sun once in a while (so what if Gollum does complain about the Yellow Face) and eliminating Goldberry is the best way to try and improve the weather patterns. What's more, she's always pestering the rest of the tribe to find lilies for her. Hunting down flowers when there's work to be done is an unnecessary distraction. Finally, she doesn't seem to do much besides sitting in basins of water with her feet surrounded by those lilies everyone else spent the day searching for, so she doesn't contribute very much to the team effort. Send her home to the Old Forest!

[arcticstorm]

I have just one thing ot say.

the tasks that need to be done are many, but there is one player who is discouraging everybody from doing the tasks with efficiency, always saying, "son't be hasty" and things like that therefore

++Treebeard

it is time for him to burn

[Pallando]

The problems of there being another whom I would give my vote to... Oh well, I'll get that blasted Hobbit later... For now, a certain Gondorian is my target.

Now, why wouldn't I vote off a cruel, manipulative git like Denethor? He tried to take his own son, his final heir, to the firey grave he prepared to end himself. He wouldn't reliquish the rule of the country to its proper heir.

You may be a Gondorian noble, and one of the last (if not The Last) Ruling Stewards of Gondor, and you may have been named after a Nandorian hero (tradition, but you do not honor the name), but you, sir, are not deserving of whatever lies in store for the victor.

++Denethor

[Anguirel]

Come on, chaps. We can't expel Legolas this early. We'd miss hours of footage of inane dialogue, romantic tension, and Elvish Enlightenment ("The shower is cold this night." "Votes!" "An eviction!")

I suggest backing ++TOM BOMBADIL. I'm interested to see how chaste that saucy Goldberry proves without him. Tom may have his house to mind, but Goldberry ain't waiting anymore!

[Nerindel]

++Sauron

Yes my vote goes to the dark deciever! oh yes he sits there all dark and broody saying nothing but already he has all but driven poor Denethor mad with that rock of his, turned Saurman against his fellow wizards with same said rock I might add and that eye *shivers* roving about the camps searching; endlessly searching *shivers again* well it just gives me the creeps. :eek: and makes the hobbit tribe terribly uncomfortable so I say we poke him in the eye, smash his rock and send him packing into the void.

[Glirdan]

Here's how the votes are standing as of now.

Legolas-5
Gloin-1
Tom Bombadill-2
Frodo-1
Sam-1
Goldberry-1
Treebeard-1
Denethor-1
Saruon-1

Well, these votes have definetely been spaced out. If the votes for Tom get to a tie between him and Legolas, I don't know what Boro intended. But we'll wait and see......

[Alcarillo]

++Tom Bombadil

He sings way too much, and I think we should tie Legolas and Tom and get both of them off the island.

[Glirdan]

Ok, well there is only about an hour and a half left for voting. Now, if we get two more votes for Tom, we have a little situation on our hands that I'd like to get settled before we lynch...I mean kick someone off the island. ;) I don't know how Boro would have done this so will take a vote on what we want to do. Here are two options we have:

1) A double lynch is always a possiblity. Or....

2) We can do it how they do on survivor, a tie breaker. For those who don't know how it works, I'll explain it here, but a little different then how it actually works. Those who voted for Tom or Legolas CAN NOT vote again. Those who voted for someone else will be forced to vote for the one they don't like out of the two up on the chopping block and they will have to come up with a good reason, one which hasn't been stated previously. You will have half an hour to post your vote.

Is all that clear? If you need more explanation, PM me. For the decision on which way we will determine a tie, post your vote on here. We have until 5 for that. As I've previously stated, Boro left no info on what to do in the case of a tie, so I'm just doing this for the time while he's away.

[Celuien]

Perky, sorry, I must discount Balrog-Ents vote unless we happen to have a tie, we can't have mass lynchings...I mean..cast offs. (emphasis mine)

I don't think Boromir88 had double-lynchings...oops...cast-offs in mind, although I could have misunderstood. :D So I vote for the tie-breaker option should Legolas and Tom wind up with the same number of votes (at least until Boro returns to give the final word). That will make things more interesting than a simple double vote off anyway.

[Formendacil]

Well, we've got about ten minutes left and no likelihood of a tie...

But I think that should one occur, we would be better off to use the more "Survivor-esque" solution, if only to drag out the gory... I mean glory of the... ending.

[Glirdan]

Sorry for the lateness of this post.

Here are how the scores stand

Legolas-5
Gloin-1
Tom Bombadil-2
Frodo-1
Sam-1
Goldberry-1
Treebeard-1
Denethor-1
Sauron-1

Due to his girly attitude, wussy behavior, being Captain Obious and always miraculously having a full quiver of arrows, Legolas has been ruthlessly kicked off the island. It's time to for him to answer for his father's mistake.

The remaining contestants are:

Hobbits
Bilbo
Frodo
Gollum
Lobelia Sackvill-Baggins
Lotho Sackville-Baggins
Merry
Pippin
Sam

Men and Rohan Lady
Aragorn
Boromir
Denethor

Others

Quickbeam
Tom Bombadil
Treebeard

Badguys
MovieGothmog
Grishnakh
Sauron
Ugluk

You may now start your crack down on the remaining contestants.

Edit: Sorry about that everyone. I put the others list in now.

[The Perky Ent]

++Sauron

He's too powerful. None of us can beat him in an immunity challenge, even if we ally against him. Frodo, Gollum, and Sam are the only ones that can beat him. They're next on my list. He makes all these aliiances, but doesn't keep half of them, and is constantly at war. Plus, he keeps peeping at us at night with his Fiery eye taht sees all. It's a privacy invasion. Plus, he carries the mace of instant death. It's just not fair. I say we kick him off

[WaynetheGoblin]

++ARAGORN because he is the king and he can order us at any time to let him win.

[Alcarillo]

Actually, he's not on the list, but I'm voting out

++Tom Bombadil

The singing gets very annoying.

[Pallando]

That's it, I'm voting myself off! Adios, Saruman! No more shall you boss me around! And you... Bombadil... Your singing kept me up every single waking hour. I NEED MY SLEEP!

++Pallando

Looks around nerviously.

[Nerindel]

++Sauron

for the reasons stated before :p That eye just creeps me out!

[Kitanna]

I can rest easy now that Legolas is gone. So I will return to

++ Lotho

He is pushy, lazy, and sutbborn.

[Glirdan]

I will have to go with

++Sauron

That big Eye is just creepy and fiery. Not to mention Gollum is the only one who can beat him and all Gollum does is argue with himself. That's why I'm going to keep Gollum in for one more day. But the evil dude who wants to take over HAS to go.

[Glirdan]

I'll do this now and then I'll update it tomorow a few hours before the next contestant gets the boot. The votes stand like this:

Sauron-3
Aragorn-1
Tom Bombadil-1
Pallando-1
Lotho-1

[Formendacil]

As Alcarillo started to point out, you have inadvertantly left the "Other" tribe off the list, Glirdan. No granting special immunity allowed!

Others:
Treebeard
Quickbeam
Tom Bombadil
Goldberry

Anyway, to proceed...

Lotho Sackville-Baggins was my first pick to be removed, and the little worm remains. Having tried my hand at bandwaggoning, and not finding it to my satisfaction, I'll return to my previous hobby of Pimple-squeezing.

++Lotho Sackville-Baggins

[Anguirel]

Iarwain Ben Adar has sung away my patience. Send him home to go and pick lilies, and then watch Goldberry become emancipated and exciting! I tell you she's making eyes at Eomer...

++TOM BOMBADIL

[The Saucepan Man]

I really am getting all ring-a-ding-dillo'd out now ...

++ TOM BOMBADIL

[arcticstorm]

I will go back to my original decision. Grishsnakh and Ugluk have been having nonstop quarrels. I do not know what to say. We need to get rid of both of them and soon.

++Grishnakh

[Firefoot]

++Tom Bombadil

I have never liked him, and the singing is finally just putting me over the top. It's high time for him to go.

[the guy who be short]

++Pallando

Come on people, at least the others have uses! Pallando just vaguely wanders off the Island anyway, and nobody's ever seen him do anything. Let's just boot him out.

[Anguirel]

He may be shy and self-effacing, but his service with Orome gives him good hunting skills and a sense of adventure; he has excellent fashion sense (sea green robes!); Mithalwen discovered some time ago that he was a "swinging Maia of Love"; and he's quite good at driving off Easterlings as long as no one's watching.

[the guy who be short]

Ah, but Tolkien didn't like him. And that's all that matters.

And what does his name mean? Palla = wide, expansive. How is Wide-man, as his name should be rendered (obviously...) helpful? They don't have that much space! They're on an island, after all.

Nobody will ever forgive him for getting lost in the East, anyway, so it's best to boot him out.

[The Perky Ent]

In his situation, the best thing for him to do is pick a direction, keep walking in it, and don't stop til he hits water. Then...keeps on walking.

[Anguirel]

Tolkien didn't always have good taste. He scorned red hair, calling Maedhros "well-formed, although red-headed." He didn't appreciate the full coolness of such characters as Celegorm, Curufin and Maeglin. And he liked Gandalf. I mean, honestly.

[Glirdan]

I think we should keep Pallando for the time being, even if him and Alatar do keep wandering off and don't come back for days at a time. We should get ride of the baddys first, that includes Gollum and Denethor, even if Denethor wasn't bad. Then get rid of the useless people. Every now and then between them we could get rid of people who are annoying us, but get rid of Sauron first. Like come on, he does want us all to work for him after all and I'd rather not be enslaved thank you very much.

[the guy who be short]

Sauron has ambition. Pallando just wanders off a lot. At least Sauron can help when he's in the mood. Absence is not going to help the group in any way whatsoever.

[Glirdan]

Sauron has ambition. Pallando just wanders off a lot. At least Sauron can help when he's in the mood. Absence is not going to help the group in any way whatsoever.

This is quite true. I just don't like the thought that someone might get killed in the middle of the night. This isn't, after all, WW.

Anyway, here is the update I promised you.

Sauron-3
Aragorn-1
Tom-4
Pallando-2
Lotho-2
Grishnakh-1

If there is anyone who hasn't voted yet, get in here and vote. And if one person votes for Sauron and it stays that way, we'll (obviously) have a tie on our hands. In case you didn't read what would happen in the event of a tie, go back to post #96 and read the 2 event because that's what we'll be going by.

[Anguirel]

Not visibly. But Easterling hosts will be quietly disposed of. Meanwhile, the others can entertain themselves by speculating where the Ithryn Luin have got to.

Anyway, why the focus on Pallando? Alatar has a less pleasing name...

I still say we should tell Bombadil to hey merry come dol himself right off the island. And that view is currently the Will of the People!

[wilwarin538]

Bandwagoning!

++ Tom Bom

:D

[Glirdan]

Just a little info for everyone. I might not have computer access at five pm Eastern. If I don't, Wilwa said she would gladly fill in for me. I might however have a chance to do it a little earlier, so keep an eye out for it. Sorry for any inconvinience(?).

[Celuien]

Ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding-dillo
I cast my vote for ++ Tom Bombadillo.

He has to go home, home to his forest where he is Master.
Horrors! He has me speaking in rhyme, we must cast him out faster!

[Gil-Galad]

++Sam

it is like my never-ending quest to get rid of Sam...

[Glirdan]

it is like my never-ending quest to get rid of Sam...

I noticed Gil. It seems like you've been the only one voting for Sam for the past little while. Kind of like WW. Not going any further on the subject.

Anyway, scratch that last post I made, I will be able to, unless I don't have it done by no later than ten minutes after five Eastern time. Voting will be closed in ten minutes.

[wilwarin538]

Oh no! :eek: But Glirdan I already wrote it all out. :( Please can I do it? :D

[Glirdan]

Oh no! But Glirdan I already wrote it all out. Please can I do it?

AS IF!!!!!! :rolleyes: I'll be nice and let you take it away then. Have fun with it!! ;)

[wilwarin538]

Alright it's kinda pathetic but I still had fun. :rolleyes:

the votes:
Sauron-3
Aragorn-1
Tom-6
Pallando-2
Lotho-2
Grishnakh-1
Sam-1

Eomer of the....I mean Tom Bom has been chosen to be lyn.....kicked off the island. Because he sings to much, he's way to happy, and he's Sauron. ;) The tribe has spoken.

You may now start voting. :D

[Glirdan]

Good!!! I get the first vote now!!

Anyway, I'd have to go with....

++Denethor

Every time he gets angry, he bursts into flames and runs through the island burning all the trees. Not to mention he almost killed Faramir with that bit of stupidity and he doesn't seem to listen to Aragron. Mr. "Meenie Pants" Denethor has to go.

[Firefoot]

++Saruman

He's powerful, for one thing; always using that voice of his to persuade others to vote off his opponents. Note how Gandalf was one of the first to go. He also talks people into doing his chores and letting him win challenges. Also, he's got such a long string of alliances that he can't possibly stay true to them all; someone's going to get busted. He's willing to do anything to get ahead, and he's playing both sides plus his own right now. He's got to go.

[Kitanna]

++ Lotho

[AragornII]

++Lotho

Lotho is alway around causing trouble and poking his nose in where he doesn't belong. He's greedy and always wants what isn't his.

[Alcarillo]

++Haldir (movie version)

What was he doing at Helm's Deep? He was supposed to be collecting firewood!

[Lalaith]

++Haldir+

Ah, you beat me to it, Alcarillo, I was going to deal the first blow to that blond ponce.

[WaynetheGoblin]

++HALDIR we were staven and freezing that night.

[Alcarillo]

Haldir (movie version) is a terrible scourge to the Elf Tribe, who must be voted off the island as soon as possible. A list of reasons why:

1. Haldir is present at the Battle of Helm's Deep, a deep wound to those who love and cherish the books.

2. Haldir states: "I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell", when it is known that he serves Galadriel and Celeborn instead. Such clandestine alliances have no place on this island.

3. There are too many blond elves. Now that Legolas has been eliminated, I see no reason why we should not continue purging the island of these Legolas-like characters. (mwahaha)

We at the Anti-Haldir Coalition hope you make the right choice and vote Haldir off the island.

[The Perky Ent]

Good argument. I'll consider it. But what are you going to do about global warming?

[Alcarillo]

Good argument. I'll consider it. But what are you going to do about global warming?

Simple. The longer Haldir stays on tropical islands, the more greenhouse-gases he produces. Get Haldir off the island, and get rid of global warming. :p

[The Saucepan Man]

++ THRANDUIL

He keeps organising parties in the jungle for his Elf chums. But any time any of the others try to join in, Thranduil simply moves the party, leaving them confused and lost in the jungle. So all but the Elves spend all night trying to gate-crash Thranduil's parties and end up exhausted and wholly unfit for their day-time duties. Meantime, while Thranduil's around, all of the Elves are far more interested in partying than contributing and are thus perilously distracted from their duties. And all this exculsivity preventing any of the other tribes getting to know the Elves.

The occasional party is fine for boosting morale and all, but Thranduil's nightly and utterly exclusive bashes are competely counter-productive.

Boot him off and the island will be a much more productive and co-operative place.

[The Perky Ent]

I know this won't count...but...

++Children of Illuvatar

Makes things easier :D

[arcticstorm]

I know this won't count...but...

++Children of Illuvatar

Makes things easier :D

so perky you are voting off everyone except the wizards, the other, and Sauron if you count the adopted children? nice.

but I am going to vote for Legolas's evil father.

++Thranduil The sooner we get rid of everyone related to Legolas the better.

[Celuien]

There is one, and only one contestant on this island who truly does not want to be here. He spends all of his time at the shore, building ships and looking out over the water. In fact, this particular islander is so obsessed with leaving that he has covered the entire Western shore with newly built canoes. He is completely non-participatory in all island activities other than his private ship-building enterprise and just keeps saying something about waiting for the last ship to sail. Therefore, I say that we should speed things up and send ++Cirdan packing. He'll be happier and so will the rest of the contestants.

[Glirdan]

Boro, if I'm correct, is coming home tomorow and will resume his duties on this thread. So here's my last post of me being in control. The standings are as follows:

Denethor-1
Saruman-1
Lotho-2
Haldir-3
Thranduil-2
Cirdan-1

Bandwagon with me to get Denethor off!! He keeps burning the forests down and if that happens, they won't have wood for a campfire anymore and they'd all freeze to death. Do we honestly want that to happen??

[The Perky Ent]

Lotho

Stupid, fat hobbitses...

[Gil-Galad]

++Sam!!!!!!!!

[Anguirel]

Thranduil is quite right to ban the non-Elves from his parties. They're tedious, borish barbarians and they smell. Particularly ++GLOIN.

It's not good for him at his age. His rambling and uncanonical remniscences about Bert, Tom and Will are irritating Frodo. His beer intake is too high. And he's always being snobbish to the Hobbits, calling them grocers.

Onto the Gloin Bandwagon!

[Nerindel]

Ack! I see your game ++Sauron using that fool wizard Saruman's poison tongue to turn the others against our beloved elves, that peter Jackson disguise doesn't fool me! Mark me it will be hobbits next we must make a stand here and vote off this power hungary crazied lunatic....first the island....then what the whole of Middle earth????

[Mithalwen]

He may be shy and self-effacing, but his service with Orome gives him good hunting skills and a sense of adventure; he has excellent fashion sense (sea green robes!); Mithalwen discovered some time ago that he was a "swinging Maia of Love"; and he's quite good at driving off Easterlings as long as no one's watching.


I beg your pardon.... but could you explain or rephrase that?!!!!

[Anguirel]

You brought up that possibility when we were discussing poor Mrs Heren Istarion having to marry an entire order of Wizards...

[Mithalwen]

Oh yes I do remember now - but it was hypothesis not the findings of an experiment :p

As for voting - I am delighted that Tom Bomabadil has gone during my absence (ill) but I will not vote for Haldir - he is gloriously camp and has the best line in the film (The dwarf breathes so loud..) and it isn't his fault he is at Helm's Deep in that hideous frou-frou armour. Also he pays the ultimate sacrifice by receiving the kiss of death from Aragorn.

I have been convinced :

++Gloin

He smells.

And he has a beard.

[Anguirel]

Hypothesis is a good deal better than nothing when running a publicity campaign in favour of two such retiring types as the Ithryn Luin...but I do apologise for possible libel!

[mormegil]

I think Movie Gothmog must go. He has far too many tumors and will probably be dead soon enough anyway. Plus he's a leader of his orcs and yet he seems to have no compasion for them. I mean what kind of a team member is he when he won't give a reassuring hug to another orc and tell him that everything will be okay.

++MOVIE GOTHMOG

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

Because he's nasty and trying to order everyone about...and that warg thing that he keeps riding around on smells. I think it has fleas, and so does he. Plus, that face just creeps me out. He needs some serious acne cream. Get him off the island and into treatment, I say, the sooner, the better.

[the guy who be short]

++Haldir

For the reasons Alcarillo mentioned. Plus, he is easily confused with fauna in the forests he inhabits, hardly convenient. And there's a difference between campness and lovable campness. Haldir does not grasp this.

[Boromir88]

I'm back, ty Glirdan (and I see wilwarin too) for taking care of things during my absense. Thanks for the help.

Interesting picks so far, hmm...It'll certainly be tough. I don't know if I want Haldir to go yet, I like him.

I must say Celeborn should need to go off soon. His voice (movies) is so darn annoying (and I couldn't stand him in Kingdom of Heaven either). I'm so glad he didn't get a lot of speaking parts or I would have to rip out the VCR. It hasn't gotten any better, it would be better if he just kept his mouth shut, that voice just gets so annoying at night, especially when it gets dark. I mean the bugs already make it difficult to sleep, Celeborn's high annoying voice isn't enough?

++Celeborn.

[Boromir88]

Ok here we are, the votes go...

Haldir- 4
Lotho- 3
Gloin- 2
Thranduil- 2
MovieGothmog-2
Cirdan- 1

++Celeborn, for reasons in above post.

[Glirdan]

ARGH!!! I had a whole thing going on where I was going to give my reasons for wanting certian people out. Then something messed up on me!! Curses!! I'm just going to go with my...

++Sauron

For reasons I have already stated.

[Gil-Galad]

come on people! ++Sam!!!! hes only there for ratings, stick it too the man!

[Kitanna]

I will continue to vote as I have for these last few days.

++ Lotho

[Glirdan]

Well these votes are really spaced out. I will start a campagin(?) against Sauron. I don't care if he has ambition, he's evil and wants to enslave us for his evil purposes. Join the Sauron bandwagon!!! Let's ge the evil git off!!!

[WaynetheGoblin]

I also will vote for ++lotho.

[Firefoot]

++Treebeard

He's sooo slow. It's impossible to get anything done around camp or make any decisions that involve him because he requires multiple days to decide. And the only thing that ever seems to get him excited is the prospect of beating down Saruman - other than that, he is almost lethargic about his opinions on people.

[The Perky Ent]

++Quickbeam


He says he's fastest of the ents, but he lies. I've beated him in every contest where we're both in it. He's an usurper and an infidel! Purge him from this island!

*puts on Balrog Mask*
*Goes into evil mode*

[Celuien]

++Lotho

Many excellent reasons have been given here (http://forums.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=411572#post411572). I'd like to add that Lotho is the second most treacherous hobbit on this island. Just ask anyone who was in the Shire when he was "Chief." He's an egotistical, unpleasant, demanding and selfish character. Away with him!

[wilwarin538]

++Lotho

Cause I'm bored. ;)

[WaynetheGoblin]

Vots so far put lotho in the lead with 3 vots.

[The Only Real Estel]

Gil, Sam will probably be one of the last to go...he's loyal, works hard & puts up with a lot.

Personally I'm going with ++Grima++ this time.

The man creeps out Eowyn, is a sniveling, shriveling wimp, you never know when he's going to switch tribes & he's still snow-white despite all this sun. There's something not right about that. :eek:

[The Saucepan Man]

It's time for Frodo to start doing some work around camp, rather than having all his meals lovingly cooked and brought to him. Every time Frodo is delegated a task, there is always one other who volunteers to do it for him.

The poor guy needs a rest. So, for his own sake:

++SAMWISE GAMGEE

[Alcarillo]

++Gloin

They're right: he does smell.

[arcticstorm]

I agree with Saucie, we need to be like movie frodo and send Sam home.

With that said " ++Sam go home!"

[Anguirel]

Though I still think Gloin is a hygiene threat, something far more serious has come to my attention.

Too long have you haunted her steps!

Grima out! For the love of Eowyn!

++WITLESS WORM

[Lalaith]

For me, it's the hair that's decided it. Bleugh. He's not just creepy, he's greasy. I know it's the wilds, I know it's hard to keep clean, but really, the man looks like he rinses his locks in Mazola.

++GRIMA

[Mithalwen]

Well I am sorry about Haldir but since you come to mention it - while the prospect of an infernal quadrangle developing with Eowyn is quite amusing (Grima, Faramir and Aragorn seeking or eluding her affections) ... Grima is creepy and slimy - and with hair like that it has to be true that ..he smells

++Grima son of Galmod (AKA Wormtongue)

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I agree that it's time to break the alliance of Frodo and Sam. They'll do anything to get each other to the final three but they don't deserve it.It's time for Frodo to start doing some work around camp, rather than having all his meals lovingly cooked and brought to him. Every time Frodo is delegated a task, there is always one other who volunteers to do it for him.
Yeah, he's impossible. For example, if someone tells him to go fishing, Frodo conjures up lame excuses such as "it's 3rd October, I never do anything on that day". That's why we need to send Frodo packing. If there's always a bunch of guys organizing pony rides, bringing meals, fetching water and making diversions for him, it consumes the resources of the whole tribe.

++FRODO BAGGINS

[the guy who be short]

Are Folwren or morm around?

No?

Good.

++Samwise for being evil, as explained by myself in the favourite hobbit thread.

[Boromir88]

Votes go...

Lotho- 4
Sam- 4
Grima- 4
Sauron- 1
Frodo- 1
Celeborn- 1
Gloin-1

A tie would result in two (or more) cast offs.

[mormegil]

++LOTHO

If for no other reason than to save Samwise.

[Anguirel]

Oh, come on, Wormtongue is far more objectionable than cretinous Lotho Pimple. After all, he quite possibly ate him, and definitely murdered him...

[the guy who be short]

But morm... everybody knows Sam is a lying, thieving, cheating so-and-so! :p

[Boromir88]

Hey, I'm home on time today. Voting's closed and with mormegil's decisive vote we avoid a mass lynch....cast offs.

Lotho, has been voted off and kicked into the ocean. Those Sack-ville Bagginses are nothing but trouble anyway.

[Glirdan]

Will somebody join me to get Sauron off!?!?!? The evil git needs to go!! Fast!! Before he turns everyone against each other. People are voting for Sam, which would normally be the last thing anybody would do, with the exception of Gil of course. So, of course my vote is....

++Sauron

[mormegil]

++FRODO

He whines way too much. "Sam I don't think I can go on" "this burden is getting too heavy" " I can't remember life at home" All such quotes are demoralizing the camp, except Sam of course. So we need to get rid of this dead-weight

[Lalaith]

I can't say I'm sorry to see Mr Bad Skin go; now let's turn our attention to Mr Bad Hair.
I still say ++Grima must go, straight back to civilisation and a shampoo and set at Vidal Sassoon, if they'll let him through the doors, that is.

[Celuien]

What a disturbing development. The island nearly turned against poor Sam yesterday. There is indeed a dark force at work to cause so much mischief. But I don't think it's Sauron, at least not directly. Gollum (well, movie Gollum) turned Frodo against Sam once, and I think he's back at his old tricks again. For my original reasons and this new bit of treachery, I am voting ++GOLLUM again today. Let's get this troublemaker off the island.

[The Perky Ent]

++Celeborn

Looks much cooler than he actually is!

[Boromir88]

Finally, my anti-Celeborn motion gets some support.

++Celeborn.

[Nerindel]

Don't worry Glirdan I'm with you, Sauron has to go!!! He is evil and is turning the others against each other with his malicious whisperings and petty bribes, where did he get those rings anyway are they even allowed?

++Sauron

[WaynetheGoblin]

Im with you guys all the way ++sauron.

[Glirdan]

Don't worry Glirdan I'm with you, Sauron has to go!!! He is evil and is turning the others against each other with his malicious whisperings and petty bribes, where did he get those rings anyway are they even allowed?

Im with you guys all the way ++sauron.

Finally!! People who are joining my campaign against Sauron!!! We need more people!! Stop the malicious whispering and the creepiness of the Firey Eye!!! Join the Sauron bandwagon!!!!

[WaynetheGoblin]

Glirdin I dont know why I didnt help you before. Join us everyone we want sauron gone that rymes. :D

[Alcarillo]

++Frodo

Too whiney, and he never does anything for himself; he just tells Sam to do it. He's just dead weight.

[Kitanna]

Mmmm with Lotho and Legolas gone who to vote for...who...

++Aragorn

His lack of bathing is attracting flies to the food source. He is always whining about not being king. And his broken sword is not helping anything. And now he's complaining that Arwen is gone.

[Gil-Galad]

++Sam again...

[The Only Real Estel]

++Celeborn

It was clearly outlined in the rules that no weed or drug of any kind was allowed on the island, yet Celeborn is obviously stoned at nearly all hours of the day. Delibrate Rule-breaking deserves a cast-off.

[Anguirel]

Blast! Though I still long to punish Grima, the bad taste of these types in voting for Celeborn, one of the most underrated Elves we see, leads me to vote for ++SAURON to protect him; although I like Sauron too...

Lay off Celeborn! Give him some respect. It was, after all, he who helped drive Sauron's forces first out of Eriador in the siege of Ost-in-Edhil, and then out of Mirkwood. Aside from that, he's useful. While his wife wanders about giving away bits of her hair and making dark prophecies, it's Celeborn who gives useful gifts, like little boats to navigate the island's rivers.

Plus he has silver hair.

[The Saucepan Man]

Why are you voting all the interesting contestants off? Not only is it dreadfully predictable, it's also spoiling the show.

The Golden Rule of Reality TV is that you need friction and arguments between the contestants to make the show entertaining ( :rolleyes: ;) ). And it's the bad guys that cause all the tension and upsets. By voting them all off, you are simply making the show less entertaining to watch. After all, who wants to watch a load of folks sitting around all day agreeing with each other and pulling together? We need to keep some of the evil ones in to balance out all the boring good ones.

So I will vote, yet again, for one of the nicest but dullest of them all.

++SAMWISE (nice but dull) GAMGEE

Kind, hard-working, loyal and trustworthy he may be. But he does not exactly make compulsive viewing. And, as noted before, I want to see how Frodo copes without his little servant running around after him catering to his every whim. :p

[Nerindel]

SPM

:eek: who said anything about getting rid of all the bad guys oh no that would never do! But who needs just one guy stealing the show :p I wanna see more of the Faramir,Eowyn, Grima love triangle that has been so over shadowed by Saurons domianeering antics of late! will Eomer succeed in keeping the greasy haired leech he and the other Rothirrim bullied as a kid from his sister or will the elves give him a jungle make over and help him win the ladies affections and just think of all the mischief Saruman and the orcs can get up too without that creepy eye constantly watching over them all.

No Sauron has to go!!!!

So join us! Vote to send Sauron packing and watch the adventure really begin! :D

[WaynetheGoblin]

Dont get rid of Sam he loses all of his energy helping Frodo out all the time.

[Mithalwen]

Having lost Hadir - I must try to save another cute elf boy from biting the dust - and besides this guy's ego trip is annoying me....

++SAURON

[Boromir88]

Votes are...

Sauron- 5
Celeborn- 3
Sam- 2
Frodo- 1
Gollum- 1
Grima- 1

Blast! Though I still long to punish Grima, the bad taste of these types in voting for Celeborn, one of the most underrated Elves we see, leads me to vote for ++SAURON to protect him; although I like Sauron too...~Anguirel

My reason voting for Celeborn is based on his annoying voice. He just talks way too much.

Though I do agree with Sauce's Golden Rule, which may be why I'm voting for Sam next. Yes we all know he's loyal, got your back, won't betray anyone, but that makes him too strong of a contestant.

Plus all he does is start fights with Gollum who only feeds the whole tribe, by hunting and fishing.

++Samwise for being evil, as explained by myself in the favourite hobbit thread.

Evil? I'll warrant you it wasn't Morm's and my arguing that caused people to vote about him on the favorite hobbit thread! It was his lack of evilness that made people pick him! (Maybe it was Bilbo's proneness to being wicked that causes you to like him so...)

I'll vote ++Grima. His love to Eowyn makes me sick.

-- Folwren

P.S. I only wish Bilbo were still around...

P.P.S Not so, actually. Just trying to drive it home with the short fellow.

[WaynetheGoblin]

Samwise is not evil he is bad at challengies so why vote him of.

[arcticstorm]

[Anguirel]

How typically Orcish. Senseless, meaningless assault on Elvish culture.

Galadrim! Allies of the Golden Wood! Defend the Lord Celeborn...

[Boromir88]

Voting is now done and it appears Celeborn just slips through, and Sauron's off, but I'll go through the votes...

Sauron- 5
Celeborn- 4
Sam- 2
Grima- 2
Frodo- 1

Hmm, continue with my Celeborn push. (I'm sorry Mith, I don't see how this guy's attractive, plus his voice. Even if I did find him semi-attractive his voice is a turnoff).

Or, do I hop on the Sam bandwagon? As I said earlier, he gets in fights with Gollum, which is not good for tribal unity.

Also, another point to bring against Sam, whilst he is true-hearted and loyal he does not look out for the tribe, he solely works for Frodo. Certainly unselfish of him but why can't he help the tribe the same way he does with Frodo? Atleast Gollum is out and about finding food for everyone. And Sam doesn't even have the decency to give him credit.

[Glirdan]

I think I'm going to hop on the Celeborn bandwagon. Not only is his voice annoying, but the only thing is "Tell me where is Gandalf for I much desire to speak with him." You would think, seeing as he is from the Eldar days and him being married to Galadriel and all, would have given him more intelligence. WRONGO!!! How can he forget that he voted Gandalf off a few days back!?!?

++Celeborn

He has to go.

[Kitanna]

Once again...

++ Aragorn

This is also an attempt to save Lord Celeborn.

[mormegil]

Also, another point to bring against Sam, whilst he is true-hearted and loyal he does not look out for the tribe, he solely works for Frodo. Certainly unselfish of him but why can't he help the tribe the same way he does with Frodo? Atleast Gollum is out and about finding food for everyone. And Sam doesn't even have the decency to give him credit.

Oh you cruel nasty man. Haven't you seen him cooking and cleaning for the tribe? Without Sam everything would fall apart. We need somebody on the tribe who appeals to our sensitive side and Sam is our man.

Now I think I will be voting for Celeborn he doesn't respect Sam enough, though I wish I could vote TGWBS and SpM in this matter.

++Celeborn

[Firefoot]

++Thranduil

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

[WaynetheGoblin]

++Aragorn back a few days ago and you will see my reason why

[Gil-Galad]

++Sam

Nuff said


:smokin: :smokin:

[WaynetheGoblin]

Not sam but aragorn should be the one to go.

[The Saucepan Man]

This is getting a bit boring but ...

++SAMWISE GAMGEE

He's trying to get the audience on his side with his faux country accent, his apparent working class credentials and his so-called "earthy" wisdom and humour. But it won't wash with me. I can see right through him. It's clear now that he latched onto Frodo right at the outset just to make everyone think he was a genuine, nice, loyal, "salt of the earth" kind of fellow. But he's not. He's a fake. He's playing to the audience and you're all falling for it.

[Anguirel]

Boro, you're allowing yourself to be manipulated by the films!

See this link, everyone, for a splendid defence of Book-Celeborn; an essay called "That Tall Fellow Next To Galadriel"...

http://henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter_view.cfm?STID=1372&SPOrdinal=1

Celeborn isn't just a quiet Elf, and he certainly isn't Martin Csokas. Please stop bullying him. He's got a mind of his own. He's married to Galadriel but still isn't entirely happy. He's interesting, an intellectual, a pragmatist, and a general who saved Lorien more than once. Vote for him and you show your own bad taste.

I'm going to save my own vote for now, and see how things go. But if you chuck out Celeborn, there'll be trouble...

[the guy who be short]

++Samwise

Far too simple too help about the island - the little intellect he has is dedicated to furthering his evil schemes.

[Anguirel]

Another pro-Celeborn tract-

http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/tolkien/96308

Emjoy! And don't you dare vote for Celeborn!

[WaynetheGoblin]

I say right now to stop voting for poor sam. Who ever wants to join me please tell me and the more people that join the more chanch of sam staying.

[The Saucepan Man]

Oh, don't be taken in by old lovely dovely book Sam.

Who did Frodo entrust his account of the War of the Ring to? And so who had final editorial control over it? Yes, that's right. Sam and his family. So it's hardly likely to be an unbiased portrayal of him, is it? No doubt he heavily edited it to make himself look all humble and loyal and heroic.

The guy's a fake. Get rid of him now!

[Anguirel]

Saucepan Man, could you do me a great favour and post a link to your tremendous Lament for Celeborn here?

If you do I'll vote for the irritating Sam...always thought he was a bit of a parvenu.

[Mithalwen]

Hmm, continue with my Celeborn push. (I'm sorry Mith, I don't see how this guy's attractive, plus his voice. Even if I did find him semi-attractive his voice is a turnoff).

.

I didn't expect you to find him attractive ;).. not the cutest elf boy certainly but I think I argued elsewhere that he must have something about him to win Galadriel... he is a Teleri so he will sing well..but he lives in Lorien so he can't be a yottie (hurrah). And silver hair can be very, very attractive..............

[mormegil]

Without Sam there would be no Frodo or for that matter no Middle-earth :rolleyes: . I voted Celeborn to hopefully save Sam but I really want to get rid of Frodo. Take about a waste of space. Most hobbits are gainfully employed. What does Frodo do? Moves in with his senile relation Bilbo and leeches all his money from him. He's given a simple task (taking the ring to a nearby mountain) and he can't even succeed at that. It isn't any wonder that he's failing at all of the challenges. I say today that Celeborn who isn't content with anything

He's married to Galadriel but still isn't entirely happy.

Come on, where's his sense of family and loyalty? What, one of the greatest women of Middle-earth isn't good enough for this snivelling little prat? I say out of this camp and make Frodo and him go find a job. I hear the Gap of Rohan is currently hiring.

[The Saucepan Man]

Saucepan Man, could you do me a great favour and post a link to your tremendous Lament for Celeborn here?

You mean this one (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=358218&postcount=804)?

[arcticstorm]

++samwise

[Folwren]

*jumps around, pulling hair out*

No, no, NO! You fools! The island will go to wreck and ruin if Sam is gotten rid of! Who'll do your cooking for everyone? Who'll keep things nice and tidy, and make sure no one forgets the important stuff on the hikes? The chap who really needs to go is not Sam, nor Frodo, nor Aragorn, but Bilbo Baggins! That flippant liar who'll do anything to keep what's not rightfully his. You think Sam was so awful in picking some little petty fights with Gollum, consider what Bilbo did to him!!

Wayne, thank goodness you're with Morm and I. If Samwise is kicked off this island, I think we should lead a rampage to get Bilbo out of here.

My vote....

++Celeborn

Merely because he's the person with the next many votes to Sam. Sorry, those who like him. I have no particular dislike.

- Folwren

[Celuien]

++Samwise

A stack of documents from Sam's mayoral years was recently uncovered, which irrefutably prove Anguirel's shocking allegations. It seems that Sam used his position as Mayor to keep all pipeweed, fish and chips, chocolate cupcakes, and other tasty delights for himself and his large family.

Furthermore, Sam admitted in his diary that he plotted to seize the throne of Gondor for himself. Why else would he send Elanor out as a maid for Arwen? She was a spy sent to gather information and foment rebellion against the King while increasing the visibility of the Gamgee family for the Gondorian public.

Finally, the whole business of Sam's changing his family name to Gardner is suspicious. What was the need for an alias other than an attempt to hide his past? Additional investigations reveal that Sam used many other names, including "Sam the Snake" and "Sticky Fingers Samwise" during his years in the Shire's criminal underworld. There's no need for such an unsavory character here. It's time for Sam to go home.

[Boromir88]

I'd have to say Anguirel and Mith have done an excellent job convincing me not to vote for Celeborn.

So, like I said, it would either be Celeborn or Sam...

++Sam

Votes so far go...

Sam- 7
Celeborn- 3
Aragorn- 2
Thranduil- 1

[mormegil]

What a nefarious bunch we are when we will kick out the most honest and sincere hobbit ever to grace Middle-earth. This is awful! :mad:

[Anguirel]

Awful, yes, hee hee hee, tragic, ho ho ho, what vile slanderers we are, ha ha ha!

That's what you get for picking a fight with the Lord of Lorien...

[Glirdan]

What a nefarious bunch we are when we will kick out the most honest and sincere hobbit ever to grace Middle-earth. This is awful! :mad:

Quite agree mom. I can't believe you want to get rid of an innocent little person. If anybody should go, it should be Celeborn. I'm furious to know Sam is going home!!!! :mad:

[wilwarin538]

Yeah well to bad! :D

++Sam

:p

[Boromir88]

That wraps things up. I don't have to go through who lost, we all know it was Sam. And by a blowout. The Tribe's (excluding Frodo) last words while Sam exitted the Island were..." you go eat your nasty chips."

++Celeborn

he needs to go.

[Folwren]

How infuriating. What is the world coming to? Samwise Gamgee...best of all mortals and immortals on Middle-Earth put together. Wisdom enough to keep anyone alive, so much honestly that I bet you as a kid he didn't lie even to get himself out of trouble, and so much love and kindess that he couldn't bear to kill the vilest creature on earth. Well, we'll see...we'll see.

I think we should excuse Bilbo from this game and send him packing. If we're allowed to start voting again, then here's mine.

++Bilbo

If I have my way, Short Guy, your little hobbit friend (who might be good enough to be the main hobbit for The Hobbit, but not good enough for the LotR, by the way) will be leaving very soon.

And Saucey....I'd like to know who you like best. :D <--(wicked grin)

++Bilbo

death to hobbits?

++Goldberry

[Boromir88]

Bilbo to me reminds me of the old guy from the first survivor. Yes, I forget his name. Survivor fans help me.

Point in, I was sad when I saw the old guy go and even more disturbed when Richard Hatch won. So, I just can't vote for Bilbo.

[Glirdan]

Point in, I was sad when I saw the old guy go and even more disturbed when Richard Hatch won. So, I just can't vote for Bilbo.

Then bandwagon with me on the bandwagon that you started!! Get rid of Celeborn!!! He's not getting any smarter and he still says "Tell me where is Gandalf for I much desire to speak with him" which is getting on my nerves. Besides, all he does is sit there and let Galadriel do all the talking, for the both of them.

As a woman, I have to say that Celeborn also won major points with me when he rebuked Boromir for thoughtlessly using the expression 'old wives tales'. Not many people are willing to speak up for the wisdom of old women, and in a fandom which seems all too eager to brand Tolkien as sexist, Celeborn is a shining light. If ever there was a man unafraid of powerful women, or a husband willing to share glory with his wife without thinking that this in some way damages his own masculinity, Celeborn is the one.

What more can I say? I just can't vote against Celeborn after that. :D

I personally still think that Goldberry should go, although I haven't decided if I should vote for her yet.

Then bandwagon with me on the bandwagon that you started!! Get rid of Celeborn!!! He's not getting any smarter and he still says "Tell me where is Gandalf for I much desire to speak with him" which is getting on my nerves. Besides, all he does is sit there and let Galadriel do all the talking, for the both of them.
Problem is Anguirel and others did such a good job convincing me not to. So, I'm going to have to go with...

++Frodo

Who's been really depressed and has done nothing since Sam's departure. He really is of no use without Sam.

I find the anti-Celeborn league disgusting at best. And I refuse to cast my lot in with any of you.

++Gollum

Am I the only one who finds him creepy?

[The Saucepan Man]

Actually Samwise wasn't a fake at all. that was all just made up to get rid of the insufferable little goody two shoes. :p :D

And without Sam, Frodo is hopeless. Just hopeless. There's just no point in keeping him around.

WHY WON'T YOU GET RID OF CELEBORN!?!?!? He's USELESS!!! If no one else hops on the bandwagon, I'm going to give up...for the time being. ;)
