The Middle Earth Popularity Cup

[skip spence]

Just a heads-up that the voting deadline (yes, there is a deadline now, check the op for more info) will pass in a little more than 2 hours at 12.00 AM board-time. Currently the standing is Sauron 5 Tuor 5. With no further votes Sauron will progress however as he was the first to reach 5. There's still a chance for you to change that though!

There are so many interesting characters in Tolkien's works and some are going to be left out unless you add a round. The next step for an expansion would be 64 participants however and I think that's too many. As it is Glaurung is in but Smaug isn't. I have been known to give in to popular demand though and I do take bribes.
