So nice to see the free-spirit non-conformists putting in an appearance.

Let's go for a double eviction.

And they brought the Capitalist Exploiter with them. How nice.

Anguirel 01-25-2006 03:17 PM

Alienation not Naugrimation!

There is no such thing as society, and if there is it's most certainly nothing to do with me, as the great King Irvinemahtar Welshdacil did write.

Elu Ancalime 01-25-2006 05:09 PM

D.a.i.n.
 
Downers Against Idle Naugrim has released this important release of intentions:

-If double elimination is possible, it shall be supported

-Belladonna Took is the now endorsed by D.A.I.N. to win The Hobbit Survivor

Double Eviction!

--BOMBUR ++DORI

Elu Ancalime 01-25-2006 05:41 PM

The Current Bombur/Dori Ratio:

6:3

Ok, we need another voter to --Bombur ++Dori, and somehow get another vote...stupid odd numbers :rolleyes:

That may help

Sorry Kuru old chap but soon I'll stop my dwarf tossing...who knows maybe a dwarf will win.

Kuruharan 01-25-2006 06:27 PM

Silly people...
 
You do realize, of course, that if there is a tie I will swoop down and change my vote to prevent a double-lynching (if for no other reason than to annoy Anguirel and keep Dori around :p...he's so adorable when he's frustrated.)

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-25-2006 07:13 PM

Let it be done

++Dori

Elu Ancalime 01-25-2006 07:37 PM

So the Bombur/Dori ratio is now 5:5, but Kuru plans to foil it.

BUT

Who will Glirdan vote for?

(Assuming he can spare some time...)

It seems the double-lynch descision will be in his hands, not Kuru's.

It's like the 2000 presidential election!
<You might have heard of it even if you aren't in the US.....>

And.....If Formendacil is the Mod when Glirdan cant make it....I belive the voting has gone on since 10 PM on the 23? Even if that's the incorrect time as far as Zones, this has been in full swing for more than a day. So if Formendacil uses emergency mod powers to end this day.......

Sorry, Elu... not for another two hours.

Besides, I'm willing to give Glirdan a little extra time before snatching away his Modship. After all, I'm still not done with my own little Werewolf game, and I'll have the NEXT Survivor on my hands all too soon...

Elu Ancalime 01-25-2006 08:23 PM

I understand......I just want double eviction......... :p

The D.A.I.N. will speak yet!

Would that be Survivor: Rulers of Middle-Earth? Including The Master, Elendil, Will Whitefoot, etc. Heh, nevermind thats too far ahead, and anyway you've probably got somthing better up you sleeve ;)

Well, I will cast my vote and give Kuru a chance to cast his. I we might get another double lynch today, but who knows.

++Dori

Who goes and drops a Hobbit? Honestly!?

So Kuru, the fate of these islanders rests in your hands.

Kuruharan 01-25-2006 09:18 PM

Oh well, you can't win them all
 
No change for me. You won't be getting any double evictions off me I'm afraid since it is now Dori 6 and Bombur 5...I'll leave it that way.

Glirdan 01-25-2006 09:23 PM

Ok, cast out post coming up shortly.

Glirdan 01-25-2006 09:31 PM

Day 28
 
Today, three people were disscussed thoroughly, and the tribe finally came to the conclusion that it would be better to get rid of Dori. "It's your fault that he got dropped on the ground and got that concussion!!" Belladonna screamed. "Not to mention all the other things you've done. I don't remember exactly what they were, but there was a lot!!" That night at tribal council:

Warg - 1
Bombur - 5
Dori - 6

So, Dori arose in anger and stomped off. Oh his way to the boat, he went through a tunnel as a short cut. The roof was so low, even he had to duck. Right when he thought he was at the end of the tunnel, he stood up and knocked himself out and put himself in a coma.

A repeat performance. Charge, me braves! Then when we've a comfortable quantity of votes we'll go for another double eviction. Hope it works this time!

++GLOIN

Oh and Glirdan, there are fourteen contestants now, not thirteen, I think...

WaynetheGoblin 01-26-2006 06:21 AM

Well I posted here lately.
++Gloin
I will bandwagon all the time yay.

Glirdan 01-26-2006 06:51 AM

You are right. Oops! I'l change that. As for my vote...

++Elrond

This has lasted far to long, espicially since he's had a chance at the prize two times already!! Get rid of him I say!!

Tuor of Gondolin 01-26-2006 07:21 AM

+ + Roac

Does anyone think he'd stand a chance in the
finals against the Eagle Lord, Smaug,
and the most feared contestant:
Belladonna Took? :eek:

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-26-2006 08:28 AM

Your right as allways Tuor, Roac does not stand a chance. That does not mean that we need to get rid of Roac, no we need to get rid of that disgusting hobbit.

++Belladonna Took

mormegil 01-26-2006 09:09 AM

++Belladona Took

First she's a Took and then she's Bilbo's mother, I mean to raise such an unrespectable hobbit is a crime in and of itself

Celuien 01-26-2006 09:10 AM

Hurray!

++BELLADONNA TOOK

For being the inspiration for Arsenic and Old Lace.

Anguirel 01-26-2006 09:15 AM

This is madness, I know, but I feel myself caught up in the Bacchic fury...

--GLOIN, ++BELLADONNA TOOK

Rather galling that Kuru's negative psychology paid off at last...

Holbytlass 01-26-2006 09:43 AM

I'm glad to return to see Dori gone but wait a minute!! A call to all females-why should the only female alotted to us in this story-and by name only-be voted off?
Save the she-contestant!

++Tom

Kuruharan 01-26-2006 10:40 AM

With a sound like the rumblings of the later stages of the digestive processes emanating from the back end of a moose...the wrath of F.A.T. has been aroused!!!

Millions of lacivi...err, respectable and lovelorn husbands from across the fruited plain (and mountains and swamps and what have you...) are sounding the call to arms! Belladonna Took must be saved!!!

And lo! They have been joined by most unexpected allies. Millions of bloodthirsty femini...err, I mean millions of outraged women tired of putting up with the exploitative patriarchy are sounding a remarkably similar call to arms! Belladonna Took must be saved!!! Behold! They have formed their own wild-eyed, radical activist group called Help All Gals (H.A.G.).

The forces of H.A.G. have joined together in uneasy alliance with their husban...I mean with F.A.T. in order to save that most buxom of hobbit maidens, Belladonna Took.

(R.E.A.L. F.A.T., disgruntled over its utter failure to evict the Chief Warg yesterday, is just sitting in a corner pouting and plotting their revenge, relieved that H.A.G....I mean their wives...are out of the house for awhile).

Seeing an alternative has already presented itself, F.A.T. and H.A.G. hop on the bandwagon (well, at this moment it might be more like the band-little-red-wagon, but still...)

So because there is only one female in this story she should be given victory? I am sorry it does not make sence! Why not let Smaug win he is the only dragon ?

Of course there is a problem with the amount of women in this book, but the solution is not to give her victory. (at least not only because she is a woman)

Please try not to be influenced by the gender of the contestands and choose who you really think should win frome other criterias.

Anguirel 01-26-2006 11:09 AM

Those seeking to save Belladonna will regain my vote only if they switch en masse to one of the Dwarves...

Although if one of the remarkable daughters
of the old Took can be saved by a dwarf
eviction I am amenable to change.

Lalaith 01-26-2006 11:51 AM

Seems like I've arrived just in time. 'The famous Belladonna Took' in danger of eviction, whatever next?
You see, unlike a lot of these wannabes, Bella's already a celebrity. And doesn't it show? No camera-hogging or attention-seeking antics. Her pluckiness, spirit of adventure and insouciant cheerfulness on the island has been an inspiration to viewers. I also enjoy her interactions with the redoubtable Bullroarer, they make a great double-act and I'd like to keep them both in for the time being, for the sake of the viewers.

And quite what this troll love-affair on the board says about you all I just don't know.
++TOM for goodness' sake.

mormegil 01-26-2006 01:38 PM

Women by evicting Tom you are eviciting one of your own. Do you not know that professor Tolkien designated Tom as a woman? In Letter # 76 he stated

Quote:

I decided that Tom would be a female troll. Though its unlikely common knowledge as her name is generally that of a man's. This issue is resolved when one considers the many facets of Troll society. Trolls by their very nature are aggressive and overly masculine, this includes the females. Therefore when a female troll shows exceptional physical prowess she is granted the name of her choosing. Tom use to be Jane but thought this far too feminime for such a proud warrior.
So if your goal is to save women you are going about this incorrectly.

Kuruharan 01-26-2006 02:24 PM

Odd...in my reading of Letter 76, all I see is a brief discussion of the name Gamgee and a performance of Hamlet.

For something relevant to the discussion, in Letter 355 (to a M. Gros of Dijon) he writes...

Quote:

I was mistaken about the status of Elanor as the fairest of the Hobbits. By some grievous oversight, I crossed the word for "the Fair" with the word for "the Horse's Rear" (the two words being practically identical in Weston). Unfortunately, the publishers have failed to answer my demands to correct this problem. I'll see them in court! In answer to your question, Belladonna Took (Bilbo's mother) was actually the most beautiful of the Hobbits.
The producers won’t be able to stand it if the sex appeal is voted off the island.

Now for Tom, on the other hand, do we really need two trolls? They’ve devastated the native sheep population of the island.

Formendacil 01-26-2006 03:34 PM

Off with Belladonna Took.

Not so much because she's female, or because she's boring, or any of the usual suspects... but simply because Kuru has predicted her victory.

As the official disturber of predictions, I say that we cannot have that!

++ Belladonna, daughter of Gerontius

mormegil 01-26-2006 05:45 PM

Oh my mistake I mean letter #119 of course.

Tuor in Gondolin 01-26-2006 06:08 PM

It is firmly believed by the creme de la creme of
Tolkien scholars that Beladonna Took was specifically
added by Tolkien for his daughter Priscilla and that
he may have added a curse in Gothic [said into a dictaphone]
to anyone who would dare
esteem Beladonna less highly then any foul
creature encountered by Bilbo (see the long lost
unpublished essay What Tollers really told me about the
writing of The Hobbit that I didn't get around to including
in my biography of him

by H. Carpenter).

Belladonna Took must be saved!!!

Elu Ancalime 01-26-2006 07:41 PM

-D.A.I.N. goves continued support to Belladonna Took

-Balin set up a hinting outpost in Moria, to poach the last Balrog, and sell him to Sauron in Mordor for Rings and other riches, clearly the feelings for endangered species is absent in the Dwarven mind. Even Gimli was saddened by their faliure. The true story is, is that had Balin succeeded with Operation Black-Market-Balrog, Gimli would have found Moria in a splendour of sorts, and at home he would be welcomed to a Capitalist Erebor, and lived rich, never tithing to poor hobbits whose parents had to work to the age of 129 to keep the Beer bills paid.

Sorry, Anguirel, I don't hate dwarves, just like to see them thinned out a bit. I'm sticking with Tom today. We can always hope for a tied vote! :D

The Saucepan Man 01-27-2006 11:42 AM

Oh go on then.

++ BALIN

Because he's a Dwarf, there are still too many Dwarves, and he has the most votes out of the Dwarfish contingent.

Boromir88 01-27-2006 02:54 PM

Finally I have some time to catch up.

++Balin

1) He's a dwarf

2) I'm bandwagoning

3) It's a pretty rotten trick to fake your death so the Fellowship thinks all the dwarves in Moria are dead. Now he's on survivor? What a creep.
