Well, it's been a very fun, eventful, joyous time here during these passed weeks.

It's been a very tough, tough decision for me. On one hand you have a Dwarf, who I think are the hardiest of races, able to stand up to Sauron's threat and say no, and on the other you have a hobbit who epitimizes (sp?) Tolkien's theme of Friendship.

At first, Firefoot's and Lalaith's comments got Merry out to a quick lead.

But, Anguirel's fiery words in Gimli's defense swayed it back towards Gimli.

Then we have Sauce's post of Merry's friendship. And as we see friendship is a key theme in Tolkien, it was the whole reason the Hobbits were in the Fellowship and not someone like Glorfindel. The Fellowship didn't need powerful elf-lords, they needed a group of friends that could get through the good, the bad, the ugly, the rough, and the trying.

But one comment really sticks out which was...
Quote:
For once, Merry deserves some recognition. He should be the sole survivor.
Gimli is Lord of Aglarond, and he's going to The Undying Lands after this contest anyway. It's about time Merry gets the spotlight...

++Merry

And it's done, it's been fun y'all.

I've had great fun, even though Sam didn't win and the person who won did so based on friendship (come on who's the best friend in the whole Middle-earth) and thank all who participated but especially Boromir for thinking up such a wonderful game. I look forward to voting off Feanor rather quickly on Silm

Merry won! I can't quite believe it. Thanks Boromir, and thanks for a wonderfully entertaining and intense game, though I fear some of the members who have played here will remain enemies for life now!
