His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Hongwu of the Great Ming Empire, Son of Heaven, Lord of Ten Thousand Years

To: The Pretentious Peasant styling himself Formendacil

His Majesty the Emperor has commanded me, His Imperial Majesty’s humble avatar bearer and lowly governor of this flyspeck of an island, to communicate to you a few pertinent points.

A) Your manner is unfit for communicating with His Imperial Majesty, it in fact being something of a capital offense.

I have taken the a name based on my conquests.

-and-

including any and all territories held by the Ming Dynasty. If you retain any titles at all, it is at my sufferage.

B) His Imperial Majesty somehow failed to notice your alleged troops knocking about His Imperial Majesty’s dominions any time in the past few centuries. Seeing as how His Imperial Majesty would miss nothing of the sort, His Imperial Majesty thinks that this is nothing more than a whole lot of arrogant bluster. (And it is “sufferance”, not “suffrage.” Unless you are pretending to bestow the right to vote. ;) )

In the great tradition of my ancestors, the Kings of Gondor

C) His Imperial Majesty’s real empire was larger than the fictitious one that could ever be imputed to this barbarian land known as “Gondor.”

descended from Luthien- a claim no Dwarf or Easterling- however noble- can make

D) His Imperial Majesty is not particularly bothered that His Imperial Majesty literally rose from peasant straight to emperor. It means that His Imperial Majesty gained all from his accomplishments and did not gain it from a bunch of stuck-up useless slackers who had everything handed to them on a silver platter.

E) His Imperial Majesty seriously doubts that you even possess a proper style and title or could present it fittingly.

F) His Imperial Majesty is pleased to point out that His Imperial Majesty’s portrait makes a really spiffy avatar. His Imperial Majesty doubts that you even possess a portrait in your supposed regal regalia. And even if you did it wouldn’t make a really spiffy avatar.

G) His Imperial Majesty created some pretty potent alliteration based on the letter “p” earlier in this message.

In my eyes, he will (if he goes) leave with his (gnarled and warty) head held high.

At least until it is cut off in the fifth of the Five Punishments.

To: The Pretentious Peasant styling himself Formendacil

His Royal Majesty, King of Gondor and Arnor, Heir of Elendil, Overlord of the Northern Hemisphere, the High King Formendacil Telcontar deigns to reply to his conquered vassal.

His Majesty the Emperor has commanded me, His Imperial Majesty’s humble avatar bearer and lowly governor of this flyspeck of an island, to communicate to you a few pertinent points.

To which HRM Formendacil Telcontar will reply, as follows:

A) Your manner is unfit for communicating with His Imperial Majesty, it in fact being something of a capital offense.

His Royal Majesty is in agreement here, and notes that the conquered vassal should, in the future, be replied to in monosyllabic sentences, so that he will be able to comprehend what His Royal Majesty is saying.

To put it bluntly:

"I'll try to use smaller words from now on."

B) His Imperial Majesty somehow failed to notice your alleged troops knocking about His Imperial Majesty’s dominions any time in the past few centuries. Seeing as how His Imperial Majesty would miss nothing of the sort, His Imperial Majesty thinks that this is nothing more than a whole lot of arrogant bluster. (And it is “sufferance”, not “suffrage.” Unless you are pretending to bestow the right to vote. ;) )

His Royal Majesty is amused to note that the alleged Empire of the self-styled "Imperial Majesty" has, in fact, been gone for more than couple centuries, and is known in it's current form as "the People's Republic of China".

And, regarding suffrage/sufferance: perhaps His Royal Majesty mean that he willing suffers by allowing certain vassals to survive and insult him, such is his generousness to his conquered subjects.

C) His Imperial Majesty’s real empire was larger than the fictitious one that could ever be imputed to this barbarian land known as “Gondor.”

His Royal Majesty notes that by the conquest of the Ming Empire, Gondor added its possessions to its own, and thus is clearly larger than the former nation known as the Ming Empire.

D) His Imperial Majesty is not particularly bothered that His Imperial Majesty literally rose from peasant straight to emperor. It means that His Imperial Majesty gained all from his accomplishments and did not gain it from a bunch of stuck-up useless slackers who had everything handed to them on a silver platter.

His Royal Majesty notes that this is the sort of reply that an untitled pretender would make, and asks that he refer to the platter in question as mithril in the future.

E) His Imperial Majesty seriously doubts that you even possess a proper style and title or could present it fittingly.

Considering that "His Imperial Majesty" is an untitled peasant, he really shouldn't be talking about being able to present a proper title.

F) His Imperial Majesty is pleased to point out that His Imperial Majesty’s portrait makes a really spiffy avatar. His Imperial Majesty doubts that you even possess a portrait in your supposed regal regalia. And even if you did it wouldn’t make a really spiffy avatar.

His Royal Majesty would reminded the self-styled emperor that the regalia of the King of Gondor is, in fact, one of the icons of this website, a claim which the "Ming Emperor" cannot dispute.

G) His Imperial Majesty created some pretty potent alliteration based on the letter “p” earlier in this message.

His Royal Majesty notes that alliteration is hardly a defense of the self-styled emperor's pretensions to power.

Oh dear. Votes as they stand:
Tom 6, Belladonna 6, Gloin 1, William 1.

Dear Glirdan, dear Elu, can we sway you to our cause for today?
I never expect much from the likes Master Morm or That Rune. But you, Celuien, noble froglady? Well, I'm more sad than shocked.

Glad as always to live up to expectations and you are living up to yours ;)

Now then why should we not wish to evict the annoyance named Belladona? Gender has no sway in my voting. Should men hang on to every man because he's a man? Why must we distinguish and segregate based on gender? This creates inequality in itself. Should Belladona win because she is the only female...give it to her by default.

Not at all, mormy. I'm supporting Belladonna because is a seriously cool Hobbity person, irrespective of gender. And she's one of only two hobbits left in a show called Hobbit survivor.
But I suspect you and Rune are just voting Bella off because she's a girl. (You were both anti-Eowyn, too. I haven't forgotten.)

His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Hongwu of the Great Ming Empire, Son of Heaven, Lord of Ten Thousand Years

To: The Persistently Pretentious Peasant styling himself Formendacil

His Imperial Majesty is pleased to command me, His Imperial Majesty’s humble avatar bearer and lowly magistrate of this flyspeck of an island, to again take up the pen in the cause of furthering Enlightenment throughout All-under-Heaven.

Attend to the Rescript which follows.

His Royal Majesty, King of Gondor and Arnor, Heir of Elendil, Overlord of the Northern Hemisphere, the High King Formendacil Telcontar deigns to reply to his conquered vassal.

Your manner worsens in your latest missive. It is a crime to even compare yourself to His Imperial Majesty in any manner. This is utterly unacceptable. Worse, even in your fevered imaginings you can only style yourself “royal.” Even a legitimate possessor of the style of “royal” cannot articulate thusly to one whose style is “Imperial.” Your ignorance of the hierarchies does not speak well of your claims.

"I'll try to use smaller words from now on."

His Imperial Majesty realizes with the greatest sympathy that correspondence with the Dragon Throne will tax the linguistic resources of even the greatest in the world. How much more so of a ragged unknown pretender from the supposed north of a house perpetually bereft of lordship and dignity? However, the application of grandiloquence to His Imperial Majesty’s correspondence is pleasing to His Imperial Majesty’s perception of decorum. This being the case, His Imperial Majesty is pleased to state it is His Imperial Majesty’s Will and Pleasure to persist in employing such magniloquence in all subsequent epistles.

His Royal Majesty is amused to note that the alleged Empire of the self-styled "Imperial Majesty" has, in fact, been gone for more than couple centuries, and is known in it's current form as "the People's Republic of China".

His Imperial Majesty finds this an interesting remark from an alleged ruler of a kingdom that His Imperial Majesty can find no reference to in any reputable chronicle nor any evidence that it currently exists or ever has existed.

And, regarding suffrage/sufferance: perhaps His Royal Majesty mean that he willing suffers by allowing certain vassals to survive and insult him, such is his generousness to his conquered subjects.

His Imperial Majesty understood you better than you did. His Imperial Majesty knew what you meant. However, His Imperial Majesty also understood that you failed to employ a tome known as a Dictionary before dispatching your former message.

His Royal Majesty notes that by the conquest of the Ming Empire, Gondor added its possessions to its own, and thus is clearly larger than the former nation known as the Ming Empire.

His Imperial Majesty finds it passing curious that His Imperial Majesty can still find no evidence of this supposed event ever having occurred.

His Royal Majesty notes that this is the sort of reply that an untitled pretender would make, and asks that he refer to the platter in question as mithril in the future.

-and-

Considering that "His Imperial Majesty" is an untitled peasant, he really shouldn't be talking about being able to present a proper title.

His Imperial Majesty possesses the Mandate of Heaven. This is literally worth the world more than birth or any other qualification you could name.

His Royal Majesty would reminded the self-styled emperor that the regalia of the King of Gondor is, in fact, one of the icons of this website, a claim which the "Ming Emperor" cannot dispute.

His Imperial Majesty's original enquiry was to the location and detail of your (non-existent) coronation portrait. It is no great marvel to point to a (mythical) albino tree and say, “Thus am I a king!” It is a marvel to point to the largest and most cultured empire of one’s day that is under the benevolent guidance of His Imperial Majesty and say, “Thus are we an Emperor!”

His Imperial Majesty again points out that His Imperial Portrait makes a spiffy avatar.

His Royal Majesty notes that alliteration is hardly a defense of the self-styled emperor's pretensions to power.

His Imperial Majesty observes that it makes His Imperial Majesty’s messages a sublime delight to the intellect to read.

And some Imperial Emperor of the Ming Dynasty known as Kuruharan

What would happen if a group of other broke off seceded from the Northern Hemisphere and refused to recognize the Ming Dynasty? :p

For example, what if a conglomeration of peoples unhappy with the way the Northern Hemisphere is being ruled, formed their own communist country under the despot of an Elf? And what if then they laughed at the trifle between the Emperor and the High King, resulting in the satire of a Soap Opera in this new country called, hmmmmm.......Hyarmendor under the rule of Thranduil!?!?!??!? And made Belladonna Took the First Hobbit Lady!?!?!?!?

Need I remind you that this is based on the book not hobbits. Sauron was booted in "Lord of the Rings" survivor. He is the Lord of the Rings and yet didn't win his own survivor game.

I have no problem with females, in fact there are 3 of them in my house and I'm the only male. Now I don't see what's so great about Belladona. Really her main problem is her association with Bilbo.

That night at tribal council, the debating was mostly for getting rid of Tom or Belladonna(again). Yet the arguments against Tom won the uperhand. "He's still eating contestants!!" cried Roac. The voting at tribal council:

Tom - 8
Belladonna - 7

Angrily, Tom arose and walked all the way up to the top of the volcano (which was completely forgotten about until then) and jumped in, ending his misery. However, William's grief was even furthered with the second loss of his kin.

It's a new day... enough trading self-styled insults with a pretentious Dwarf...

Although, for the record, I am aware that Imperial is considered to be a higher term than Royal, but I deliberately chose to use Royal because:

A. I like it better.

B. It's more correctly Gondorian.

C. Imperial is a term that references Empire- and thus relates to people who rule Empires. It has nothing to do with the nobility of birth, whereas Royal is derived from the French "Roi"- or King, and is thus directly connected to the nobility of one's station.

(And, for those who have nothing better to do than listen to me chatter, there is a bit of a family legend on my Mom's Mom's Dad's side of the family that we are descended from a Prince Michael. Thus, I have some very slight, nefariously pretentious claim to real royalty. Those with proper pedigrees need not apply. :p )

Once more into the breach, eh my dear Morm?

I also, your sublime magnificence.

I would incidentally like to avail myself of the opportunity absolve the lovely Lucrezia Borgia of the terrible and very unfair slurs that popular historical propaganda has tainted her with. You know how poor old Canute has been so wrongly painted as the proverbial foolish king who thought he ruled over the sea, when in fact he was a wise man trying to show his obsequious subjects that his powers were limited? Well, his historical libelling is but a picnic in the park compared to that endured by Lucrezia, the so-called "femme fatale poisoner".
The real Lucrezia was an exceptionally beautiful and sweet-natured woman, who was in her youth used as a pawn in the political games of her insanely murderous birth-family. However, she never willingly participated in any of their wicked activities, and by the time of her third marriage, she was of an age and maturity to get away from their black influence, and show her true colours.
As Duchess of Ferrara, she was greatly loved by her subjects, ruling wisely and well, and assembled an elegant and cultured court around her. She was known, in fact, as "the Good Duchess." An astonishing achievement for a girl brought up in the most appallingly depraved surroundings.

A parallel with the Tooks and Bagginses could be drawn here. Or it could not. You decide.

Anguirel
02-02-2006, 08:25 AM
Tut tut, Lalaith! You've been reading too much Sarah Bradford, I deem...now, I like to keep Lucrezia as the Machiavellian survivor, femme fatale and patroness of the arts...

And then there was the "Roman Infant" business...all very murky, but it seems most likely she had Cesare's son. Particularly as he murdered her beloved second husband in a fit of jealous rage.

Why do Survivor debates lead inexorably to me discussing incest?

Lalaith
02-02-2006, 08:38 AM
Who's Sarah Bradford? I read some book about the Borgias years ago but I'm sure I've never heard of her...you may keep any picture of Lucrezia in your mind that pleases you but one thing is certain, she was certainly a true survivor. Cesare was of course barking mad (his death was hilarious, leading a one-man charge on a fortified city) and what he subjected her to in her youth is anybody's guess.

Morm, as to your point, a. I'm voting tactically and b. I don't like golf. And as I've already said, I'm keeping options wide open today....

Anguirel
02-02-2006, 08:46 AM
Sorry, shot in the dark. She published a biography of a "good duchess"-style Lucrezia a couple of years ago.

Actually, I'm a fan of Cesare, though his murder of Alfonso D'Aragona takes some forgiving. However flawed he was, he was a kind of genius, as Niccolo recognised. I love the image of him pursuing deer with packs of trained leopards, a veil over his face to hide the growing signs of syphilis. So enigmatic, almost beautiful. A sort of Maeglin figure on a Tolkien level I suppose...

Day 32 passed and once again, Belladonna was under a lot of pressure. However, most people were getting hungry and decided that it would be best to vote out Roac in order to eat him, just as they did with his father. The tallied votes at tribal council were like so:

Belladonna - 4
Bullroarer - 2
Roac - 5

So, they tied him up and cooked him over the fire. He turned out to be much more delcious than his father.

First of All, the Chief Warg is just trying to keep order in the camp by threatening to eat those who arecausing disorder, he never would go through with his threats unless someone were to continue trying to disturb the order. He knows, as does everyone, deep down, that order is better than chaos, even in ratings in Middle Earth. He is the greatest person on the island and the most deserving of the prize of ultimate survivor. But as for an alternate candidate, let us consider our options, obviously if we vote for Belladonna again, the leader of the warg will suffer for it, so let's vote out another threat to victory,

He is the greatest person on the island and the most deserving of the prize of ultimate survivor.I strongly suspect that you are not alone in this belief. Hence my vote for him. If nothing else, it may help to flush out those who support him.

I may be able to pull off this bluff though it's coming close each day. Morm - the double bluff ain't gonna fool anyone ... :p ;)

This is getting dull.Then why not try a different approach? Contrary to Kuru's analysis (or perhaps because of his hidden agenda :D ), Belladonna will not reach the final. You can be sure of that. There are enough people gunning for her and enough supporting alternative candidates to ensure her exit before we are down to the final three.

So why not try flushing out who is supporting who? It would be nice to have a day where the voting is spread and there are more than just two candidates for the chop.

SpM help us get this victory so we can move on.I am not holding out much hope for Belladonna, but I will not actively vote against her unless I have to. In the meantime, I am happy for you folks to continue your vendetta against her on the basis that it diverts attention away from other, more valued (by me), contestants.

Oh wait, I forget the soft spot you have for any and all Tooks; seeing past their ineptitudes and annoyances and thinking them lovable.I really don't see how anyone who knows their Tolkien can deny that the Tooks are anything but an exceptional and outstanding strain of Hobbitkind. Their adventurous and curious nature makes them by far the most interesting of all the great Hobbit families. It was down to Belladonna that Bilbo harboured his latent adventurous side. But for her, the Quest of Erebor would have been a disaster. But, seeing as you so actively dislike the incredible little fellow central to the tale that gave rise to this show, I wouldn't expect you to understand that ... :p ;)

See it makes no sense! You are only trying to save her because she is female. What did she do that is worthy of winning this.
While I don't expect or even necessarily want her to win, I think she's worth saving for awhile in the same sense I voted for dwarves-to thin out. There are plenty of males in various races/species for ones own choosing. I shall keep thinning out males until the ratio is a bit better, afterall, 1:4(or5) is better than 1:46.

Belladonna voted off now is a tactical error, people. While she's still around, and under threat, it's possible to set off all sorts of stalking horses and get them voted off by those seeking to protect her.

Current state of play:
Gwahir 4
Bella 4
William 1
Warg 1
Bombur 1

Now, I'd rather not vote for Gwahir unless I have to. I find Bombur rather tiresome but I did say to Kuru I wouldn't vote against dwarves and I shall honour that promise while I still can. And it's my opinion that there are too many baddies heading for the final. I think we should whittle them down to one or two, so I'd be happy to go for either William or Warg, although they're looking like wasted votes at the moment.
Personally, I think Smaug has a lot of secret fans and will win this. Anyone who supports another candidate should think quite carefully now.

Indeed.... one might almost call the Anti-Belladonna League an Unholy Alliance.

Personally, I would call Gwaihir one of my preferable candidates left, as of now, since he is neither a person favourite (such as Elrond) who would normally attract my rather ironic attention during a game, nor is he a loathsome beast... like William or the Warg.

However, if he dies, he dies.... Unlike "certain" people (I won't name names... except for Lalaith's :p ), I'm more than willing to see my favourites go by the wayside and rot.

++Gwaihir

Because...

1) Friend of Gandalf. Even if Gandalf is off the island we can't have any of his friends hanging around either. Gandalf is like the mob boss, he's got connections everywhere, and we got to weed out those connections. Which includes Gwaihir.

2) What's this crap about Eagles not being able to carry Frodo (or anyone) to Mount Doom. I mean they all claim that they get tired, and they can't carry people farther then a certain point, but Gwaihir only says in The Field of Cormallen
"I would bear ye," answered Gwaihir, "whither you will, even were you made of stone."
It seems to me the Eagles create this excuse just so they don't have to carry someone for a long distance, but in truth it was all a lie and Gwaihir proves it here.

3) With the Super Bowl approaching I still need to figure out what I want to eat and Spawn's picture of Gwaihir is quite appetizing. I've never had Eagle before.

Though I could hold off on Gwaihir and get rid of Belladonna since it will be no consequence to me, if thou shalt give me a good reason as to why it would be wise for me to do so. Bottomline is Belladonna will probably be gone in a few days, so she makes a weak opponent and one that can easily be cast off in the next few days so why get rid of her now?

Actually, I like the Malory Gawain. He essentially shines despite the amount of libel chucked at him. And the Orkney-de Galles feud is like the best of Greek tragedies. How often I've wished Shakespeare could have written it...Macbeth, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet meet...

I slew the bird, with a heavy heart, to save the lady. Gawain would have done the same and you know it.


It has proven futile and invoked more wrath. Perhaps she should have been sacrificed to save others...isn't that a noble thing Belladonna would have done?

Now, the god Tyr placed his hand in the mouth of the most evil warg the world has ever seen, the Fenris Wolf, while it was being chained. He lost his hand, but the beast was conquered.
Surely his near-namesake Tuor could ward off a few wargs on the downs.

Anguirel doesn't care about the Warg Rider, though. He's just sulking about Gwahir. I think he's a Smaugie. Or possibly an Elronder.

After many Days and many attempts to be rid of her, Belladonna Took was finally voted out. "You're to friendly with Gandalf for one. You're the mother of Bilbo and you're a Took! You HAVE to go!!" The voting at tribal council that night was rather unanimous with the few odd votes for the Chief Warg:

Belladonna - 12
Warg - 6

Being distraught, Belladonna arose and ran into the forest. She ran and ran, not knowing where she was going. She ended up falling into snake den. Did I forget to mention that they were poisonous?

I have reviewed my spreadsheets and see that I made a .2456 error in column 7 which aggregated in an astronomical fashion until it threw my calculations off by a whole contestant spot. In spite of mormegil’s hasty vote, Bullroarer Took is going to win. It is easy to see how the error occurred. Simple rounding error threw the calculation from one B. Took to another B. Took. Minor mix up.

And I see no point in not charging right into the heart of the opposition so,

So cruel to want this gentle giant among hobbits voted off. In hobbit fashion, he extends all hospitality to his tribe and during the challenges his fighting spirit erupts so that his tribe can have benefit of rewards and immunity!
I don't expect Mormegil to understand this many facetted person since Morm has an unnatural dislike of Bilbo and all who are related.
Don't vote for the Bullroarer who is neither evil (we have plenty of those), dwarve(plenty of those,too), or worse an annoying elf!

++Chief Warg

Lalaith
02-10-2006, 09:11 AM
It is no wonder that those who love the Wargs hate the Bullroarer. He after all fought off a Wolf raid during the Long Winter.
I think I know of another reason why the Warg lovers hate hobbits in general and Bullroarer in particular. Look at what Gandalf has to say about hobbits with reference to the Long Winter:
I began to have a warm place in my heart for them in the Long Winter, which none of you can remember. They were very hard put to it then: one of the worst pinches they have been in, dying of cold, and starving in the dreadful dearth that followed. But that was the time to see their courage, and their pity one for another. It was by their pity as much as by their tough uncomplaining courage that they survived.

In the reign of Bullroarer, amidst this great hardship, there flowered a society based on compassion, co-operation and helping those less fortunate than ourselves.
Wargs of course represent the opposite - a society based on greed and power-worship; a ruthless, dog-eat-dog, devil-take-the-hindermost philosophy.

But it's actually even scarier than that.
The wise Norsemen predicted, in their own version of the Armageddon, the Voluspa,(much loved by Tolkien) the last age before the end of the world. A society much like the one I portrayed above, when oaths were broken and brother killed brother. "Varg-old", they called it, the "Warg Age."

Is that what you all want? To bring about the end of the world? Then by all means vote to support your wolfish friend. For my part, however, I'd like our planet to soldier on a little longer.

2) Fili. Even duller than Elrond. Advantage of being a continuation of Dwarf-culling.
3) Chief Warg. On consideration, I'm afraid that the Warg and Warg Riders Society will force a Wargian victory if this contestant reaches the final round. It might be best for those of us who still want a non-Warg to triumph to unite now.

Also, you must suppose that, as soon as the Chief Warg goes, his followers may wish to die with him. ;)

*sigh*
I was hoping Elrond would make it to the finals, if for no other reason than to have him be defeated in a one or two on one contest with William rather than as a sacrifice to the Wargs. But if he goes now, not all is lost. :(

I just hope that we can eliminate the Warg fairly soon.

No Lhuna, I'm counting (mind you, I could very well be off with this):

Elrond - 9
Chief Warg - 8
Fili - 3

But, I could very well have missed those votes for Elrond (from Fili to Elrond). If somebody (other than Lhuna) could double check for me. I would be most grateful.

Edit: If anybody wants to do the cast out for me this time, be my guest. I do not have time to do it right now and may not get a chance until this time (approximately closer to 10:30 my time) tomorrow. Thanks.

As Big Leo in "The Freshman" said when asked whether he was also Leo, he
said something like: "Yes, I am. The terms are synonomous."

Actually, my cable service says my present computer isn't strong enough,
or whatever, to connect, so I have to use an older connection in my school library
(Tuor of Gondolin) and a newer one in free libraries (Tuor in Gondolin), and
I haven't the vaguest idea how to change the Tuor of Gondolin tag :eek: :(
being virtually computer illiterate. But
if Tuor of Gondolin doesn't count all I can do is to quote Larry
London, also in The Freshman:

Larry London: [sings in German] Mein Herz schwebt in Blut! That means 'My Heart Swims In Blood'.
Clark Kellogg: Yeah :D

Well, you all know who's gone today. He's dull, boring and really, REALLY old. That's right, Elrond has been evicted off the island. But, instead, the tribe tied him up, grabbed bows lined up in the form of a firing squad and let those arrows fly. As I once was in a game of WW, Elrond was turned into a pincushion.

I plead with all non-Warger Fili voters to reconsider and join me in an effort to rid this show of a menace. Please, help evict the Chief Warg before it devours us all.

Additionally, Wargers aside, the Warg's presence has been hurting ratings. Families can't watch for fear the beast will go on a rampage.

Not a good Warg-friend figure we make, Nilp.

Thanks, Alice. Sorry about that. It's just that, after ages of undergoing persecution from everyone--good, bad, apathetic citizens--I think that armed with the true knowledge of the nobility the Wargs we should uphold them as symbols of purity and excellence in an increasingly corrupt and mediocre world.

SAVE THE WARGS!

Well put, Nilpaurion. In any case, I heard that ratings were actually increasing (certainly in twisted Britain) because they want to see the Warg strung-up. There's nothing like watching something you hate. I had the misfortune of stumbling upon Young, Posh, and Loaded the other night and was rendered too numb to change the channel. :rolleyes:

We all know that, when you break up a double-act, the two individuals cease to draw. Without Kili, he's nothing, and has no right to be on the island. Get him out.

Hmm. Perhaps SpM should consider tests for these Warg Fanatics
to make sure they've not been bitten by a warg bug.
As a helpful aide for him consider:
http://werewolves.monstrous.com/werewolves_powers.htm



Ablation of heart or the brain

Werewolves can be killed by any wound that destroys the heart or the brain, decapitation of its head and removal of its heart, or any form of death that causes brain or heart damage (such as hanging or other oxygen-deprivation methods).

*

Silver bullets

It is said that shooting using silver bullets is very effective in killing werewolves. Even if the efficacy of silver has often been traced to pagan belief in the power of certain metals to ward off evil spirits, its appearence in werewolf mythology seems to be after the rise of the catholic church. Silver is a metal has long been considered to have mystical properties. Its influence ranges from zero to being the only thing that can injure or kill a were .
