To play the Devil's Advocate, I will make this appeal to the Davem demographic of voters (not that Davem is voting in this game, nor has a demographic appeared that follows his views... but whatever: I'm having fun).

Kili is a character found only in The Hobbit, where he comes to his unfortunately sticky end. As such, he is never seen as a living or breathing character in the true Legendarium- and is only met through Appendix A III. Gloin, however, is a living and breathing dwarf that we are privileged to meet in Rivendell.

Furthermore, Gloin is a rare example of a character who gets wiser with age, for surely anyone can see that he had become less critical and more kindly in his old age.

I agree that the Dwarves need culling- although I'm standing by my Beorn vote for now- but if push comes to shove, then I think I'll transfer my vote to Kili, to save the older Dwarf's skin.

Anyway, if the argument of "Thranduil is Legolas' father = eviction" is valid, then Gloin ought to be kept for the same reason.

Wayne just voted for Beorn. Wayne-annoying is one of my hobbies. So...

--BEORN
++KILI


Kili sounds too much like Kiwi. I can't respect a Dwarf who's named for a bird and a green fruit.
