Don't think it would help us completing our task though.

Celuien has two sugestions of who to vote for as for Orodreth: Are you sure that it will be Finduilas who is made queen? Maybe it will be Galadriel.

I think it would be interesting if we were to vote of "the curse of Morgoth"

Well, we could vote off Arien, thereby plunging Beleriand into darkness, because moonlight is so much more romantic. But then, a bunch of nitwits went and voted off Tilion (and therefore the Moon) ...

Still, the stars would remain. And candlelight is pretty romantic. Surely such conditions would be bound to make all the ladies swoon for a chap like Turin ...

Plus, if it's dark enough there'll be impossible to seperate people and a few loving couples could be created by pure luck!

But wouldn't ME be a gloomy place without both the sun and the moon?

As always, there's plenty of ways to deal with this problem. If we're going to make Turin's lovelife more convoluted, we can either make more women fall for him, make more men fall for Finduilas, make Finduilas fall fall for more men and so on. I've always thought the "romantic situation" was tricky and tragic enough without any more twistes.

I wonder how a removal of the curse of Morgoth would help in this situation? By removing this heavy burden, do you think Turin will attract more women? Or be more willing to give his heart to someone?

And if we removed Orodreth and if Finduilas was to be queen and thereby drawing more suitors to her, would that make things much worse? What I would like to do is to add a second girl, someone to love Gwindor but be loved by Turin. That would be the ultimate situation, but could that be done? Maybe not but I'll think about it and see if I can come up with a solution...

Dare I suggest that Galadriel might be a little more relaxed and open to joining in without a certain Sinda...?

Though it cuts at the heart to bring it up...

Are you suggesting Celeborn, Ang? Cuz I thought of him, but thought that if that's going to work, we'll need a little help from the mod in the upcoming write-up

That was indeed my point. And I do try my best to be vaguely impartial. In this case, I don't see Galadriel sitting demurely at home after something happens to her husband...even if I like him.

Another option-vote off Morwen, emancipate Nienor and throw her into the mix. Incidentally, I see I've been mispelling her as Nienna...must go back and correct...

Well, my personal opinion is that Finduilas should ascend to Queen as Orodreth's daughter. But I can't speak for what goes on in the mind of our Ang-mod. At any rate, it would initiate another power struggle and political intrigue, which is always interesting for romance. At any rate, a Galadriel/Finduilas face off would be fun.

I'm not sure that I want to plunge Middle-earth into darkness again by voting off the Sun. At least, I don't want to do that while the baddies are still here.

I'm leaning somewhat toward the Curse of Morgoth. Having a curse hanging over his head is a major dampener on Turin's life right now. Who knows what he'll do as the dashing, handsome hero without having to mope about complaining about being the son of ill-fate?
