Yes, Celuien, I'm not too happy at all about Galadriel being gone. What's Tory Boy playing at? I thought he liked her?

Your shortlist makes sense, though. However, Tuor is the only Man left, I think we should leave him. Ditto Idril, the only remaining Lady of the Noldor.
Of the three remaining candidates, I'm inclined to vote ++GLORFINDEL because I think we're going to need the other two in the long term.

I do like Galadriel. And Celeborn. And Celebrimbor. And Nienor.

Unfortunately they form almost the entire contestant population of Nargothrond, and I felt it would be a bit unconvincing if the great horde of Morgoth destroyed the kingdom but only succeeded in slaying a Petty-Dwarf...

And let's keep my poor beleaguered Jacobite liberal Royalist Romantic Cameronista pro-hunting politics out of this, if you please...

+ + Glorfindel seems the most logical. Some other way of dispatching
a Balrog can be envisioned, say, an attack by the Eagles putting the
Balrog offbalance and falling off a cliff.

Without Manwe, the Eagles aren't coming...

I say Idril. Her escape route is already built for the others, and I wish to be revenged on her for her prissy, disdainful treatment of Maeglin. Besides, with Idril gone Glorfindel, who I made fall in love with her if you recall, will have no incentive to turn traitor.

++Arien. An everlasting darkness will aid Morgoth. Why, you ask? Well, the reason is........

........it's all about the special effects.

This is a hard decision to make because the fall of Gondolin will happen no mather what. . .

It seems that our quest is to get even more people killed or lessen the loss of Morgoth's forces.

I will go with the last one and the thing that would insure a even more devestating victory is too. . . . Get rid of Arien. This way Gondolin will have even shorter time to muster their defense in and therfor they will not be abel to kill as many Balrogs/Orcs/whatever.

++Arien

Actually, I may decide to keep Gondolin standing if your choice is especially flimsy. Don't rule out the possibility!

OK, forget this quote it did not happen!

What I really wrote was : This is a hard decision to make because it is highly unlikely that Gondolin will not fall, unless we forget our objective and vote off Morgoth or Mandos, Doom of
