Well, as my Thorin bandwagoning tactics have not seemed to be working, i will must look for an alliance.

++The Master

There is nothing so unsavory as a bad good guy!

Exactly. The Master is no glamorous dashing rogue, he is weak-willed, cowardly and sleazy.

Anguirel · 12-01-2005, 01:51 PM

I embrace them too; because no one else will.

Besides, the Master's one of the most representative human figures in Tolkien, and the sole representative of the merchant bourgeousie, a class from which half of me springs, the sharper, cannier half (not saying that much...) I want the Master to stay for the sake of political satire if nothing else...

Eonwe · 12-01-2005, 02:16 PM

merchant bourgeousie, huh? more like thieving rouge if you ask me.

Anguirel · 12-01-2005, 02:22 PM

Many indeed have equated those terms! Ah, Marx, what damage though hast wrought (pace Rune)...

Lalaith · 12-01-2005, 03:55 PM

Thieving rouge, was he? That's more grist to the mill....

Anguirel · 12-01-2005, 04:00 PM

Eonwe, you're, groan, mixing him up with Legolas...

I stick to what I said earlier. These redundant dwarves have got to go, and fast with While Thrain, Fundin and the other ancestors probably have some insight to offer and several of the dwarves on the Quest contributed a lot, there are still some who are downright useless (Ori was one of these then, but he did redeem himself by going to Moria later).

In order from most helpful/important to "useless guy just along for the ride" in my opinion, the thirteen Dwarves from the Quest (Moria factored in):

Thorin
Balin
Gloin
Dori
Oin
Ori (voted off)
Fili
Bombur
Dwalin
Kili
Bifur
Bofur (voted off)
Nori

As Nori is dead last in terms of usefulness, having very few lines and contributing pretty much nothing,

++Nori
