			I could go with any bandwaggon getting rid of the minor works characters asap... Let's have a couple of double lynches first and continue the game then? We'll have to do away with them anyhow sooner or later, right? Or could someone of you really think of one of them as the winner?

			Well, I agree with almost all of the minor characters getting the boot.  But I think we should keep Goldberry around just a little longer.  But I still want to get rid of Arwen (curse the usurper!) and Maglor...

			Just because he was in a minor work does not change the fact that Chryspohylax is cooler than many of the characters here.  I don't really give a twit about any of the other MW peeps (since my other favorites didn't make it to the allstar game... seems a shame Perry the Pom Pom and Princess Pom Pomier got to be ressurected when far more worthy candidates such as Farmer Giles and Roveranndom did not) but really, you can't just expell Chrysi with the lame reasoning that the story he was in wasn't as long as the others.  Even if you do, might I remind you that he is a prominent character in what is arguably the finest RPG series to ever grace the 'Downs.  And length?  Oh, we got that, brothas and sistas. Anyway, who to vote for? + + Maglor Just because I feel sorry for morm.

			++Maglor I agree, let us get those pansy elves outta here! Also, I will demolish any who attempt to thwart my plan to see Smaug and Chrysophylax through to the final. Actually, scanning through the names, I've changed me mind. --Maglor ++Perry-the-Winkle Now that's a pansy name if I've ever heard one. And I don't even know what work he's from, so he needn't remain. To the plank with 'em!

			Perry Como(tose) was in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil -- he was a particularly fat hobbit who befriended a troll, and wore cardigans and crooned "Catch a Falling Star." I think I will stick with Maglor though. I mean, that letter from The Man himself was pretty damning. Thanks morm, for digging that up.

			Right, I´ve run through the lists and I´ve found someone I find even more annoying than the recently evicted TB. ++INGWE Is he a teacher´s pet, or is he a teacher´s pet?

			++Sauron. You can't trust him no matter how far you throw him. He repented after Morgoth was defeated but he refused to stand the judgment of the Valar and became a Dark Lord himself.

			Imagine you are the King of the Gods. You live high on Taniquetil. You are the Lord of the airs. You are both wise and powerful. You have a force of eagles over in Middle-Earth which allow you to intervene practically everywhere you desire in the nick of time. You even have a fancy sceptre. Shouldn't you be loved and praised and be called upon by all free peoples? Yet... The only ones who ever called upon you were some retarded* oathtakers and a bad marksman who clearly inhaled too much of the fumes of Thangorodrim. No matter how many people your eagles save, in danger they will call for the help of your wife, who did little more than to kindle some faraway stars. In fact, they will rather cry the name of a former immortal who's dead since millennia to come for their help. This guy depresses me. ++Manwe *be assured that, in the future, I will deny to ever have made this statement. |

			I'm going to stick with my Silmarillion schtick.  Macalaure's right about Manwe's always wife being favoured. In fact, most of the guys on Taniquetil seem to have this problem of being overshadowed by their wives. The eagles just don't dare enough. Wussies! ++Manwe

			++ Manwe  The eagels always seemed to me to act on their own accord tho rather than on direct 'orders'. Or did I overlook something in my half-blind detest of the airy lord? Probably...

			Bombadil must be avenged. . .  ++Manwe It is funny how we hardly even consider voting for "the minor works", maybe because we don't have that many feelings for them. . . It would be a shame if they won because of that. |

  As the MWS mod I can hardly condone the act of voting them off purely because of their category.  After all, it might be amusing to see how upset people get if they stick around longer than they ought to.  Every game needs its pet controversy.

			I have been studiously avoiding this game up to now, as my view as to how the game should be played always seems to be diametrically opposed to most other players and very few people ever seem to share my favourites (just like Big Brother   ). Yet now two characters, both of whom deserve the boot, are leading in the voting stakes, and I perceive the opportunity for a most satisfying double eviction. For mormegil (to whom I owe many debts in this game) ... + + MAGLOR The vastly over-rated son of the vastly over-rated Feanor. Need I say more?

			++Manwe At least Maglor is rather complex; the same really can't be said for Manwe. Totally goody-goody, ruler of the Valar, close to Eru... there's nothing terribly interesting about all that. |

			Thank you Saucie but Firefoot I implore you to retract your vote so a double eviction can take place.  I am actually a fan of Manwe so it saddens me but I'm willing to sacrifice him to get out the son of Feanor.

			Day three was a very close call, it came very near to a double lynching...I mean, a double cast off.    Maglor - 7 Perry-the-Winkle - 1 Ingwe - 1 Manwe - 6 But Maglor, the second son of Feanor, was the one cast of the island on Day 4. Maglor stood and began to walk away. When suddenly the Maglor Fan Club (of course its real  )  had formed an angry mob and began to stampede towards the "set" of Survivor All Star, in their excitement of forming an angry mob they didn't notice the object of their desire and ran over him, stomping him to the ground. Thus ends Day 4 (and Maglor)! The remaining contestants: From the Lord of the Rings Survivor Merry Gimli Hama Gandalf Arwen From the Silmarillion Survivor Sauron Elbereth Osse Manwe Ingwe From the Hobbit Survivor Smaug The Bullroarer Gloin Durin Bofur From the Second Age Survivor Tar-Miriel Celebrimbor Celebrian Thorondor Tar-Aldarion Ar-Pharazon From the Minor Works Survivor Chrysophylax Dives Goldberry Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie Perry-the-Winkle Princess Pam *************************************** Sorry I ended up being so late, we stopped a couple of times on the way home. I work til two tomorrow, so the day will end half an hour late. Sorry if this causes any inconveniences.   You may now start voting!

			Why would anyone want to save the lil daddy's boy Manwe?  His name has Man in it, but he sure doesn't act that way.  Always having someone else do something for him, because he's not 'man' enough.  I mean instead of him going to the Black Gate to do away with the Nazgul, he's got to send the Eagles.  Which creates an even bigger plot hole as fans question, why in the heck couldn't the Eagles of carried Frodo to Mount Doom?  No...I wonder why couldn't Manwe have dealt with the ring?  Well, because he was a panzy that made others do things for him. ++Manwe SpM, go with your heart, this is survivor, you don't owe anyone anything.

			++Sauron Do not trust him! I wholly disagree with those who want to boot off the Bullroarer. You have to admit it's a cool name (better than his real name) and he helped the Hobbits defeat the Orcs at the Battle of Greenfields. Let's honor him for his part in keeping the Shire green.

			OK Boro, morm. Let's get that Celebrimbor bandwaggon rolling.   The guy has the most ridiculous name of all. I feel embarassed just typing it. It's far too ungainly. Say it out loud a few times. Cel-e-brim-bor. Pure nonsense! And the last syllable sums him up really. What! that's not good enough for you? Well, let's rehash all those old arguments. He must take the lion's share of the responsiblity for the whole Ring farce. He was vain enough to be flattered by Sauron into cooperating with him to make the other Rings of Power. Not only did that give Sauron the knowledge he needed to make the One Ring, but it also gave him the incentive to do so. The main purpose of the One Ring was to give Sauron power over the Elves through the domination of the Three Elven Rings. Who made those Three Rings? Why, Celebrimbor of course! Ergo, Celebrimbor (darn, I hate typing that name) was responsible for the creation of the One Ring and, in consequence, all the suffering that occured during the War of the Ring. And the buffoon ended up impaled on a the standard borne by Sauron's armies. How embarassing is that? He does not deserve to come anywhere near the prize for this contest. Vote him out now. + + CELEBRIMBOR
