Here are the tallied votes:

Witch-King-10
Legolas-6
Grishnkh-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

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

The Perky Ent · 09-09-2005, 03:18 PM

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

++LEGOLAS!!!

wilwarin538 · 09-09-2005, 03:20 PM

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

++Gloin

Glirdan · 09-09-2005, 03:25 PM

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!!!

How do you accomplish that!?!?

Formendacil · 09-09-2005, 04:03 PM

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

The Perky Ent · 09-09-2005, 04:52 PM

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 · 09-09-2005, 05:12 PM

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.

Firefoot · 09-11-2005, 03:19 PM

++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 · 09-11-2005, 03:21 PM

++ Lotho

AragornII · 09-11-2005, 04:09 PM

++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.

Kitanna · 09-09-2005, 04:23 PM

++Legolas

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-09-2005, 04:46 PM

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.

Gil-Galad · 09-09-2005, 05:13 PM

++Sam again...

WaynetheGoblin · 09-09-2005, 05:55 PM

++LEGOLES I never liked him.

Celuien · 09-09-2005, 06:08 PM

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 · 09-09-2005, 06:36 PM

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 · 09-09-2005, 08:51 PM

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
