Oh go on then.

++ BALIN

Because he's a Dwarf, there are still too many Dwarves, and he has the most votes out of the Dwarfish contingent.

Finally I have some time to catch up.

++Balin

1) He's a dwarf

2) I'm bandwagoning

3) It's a pretty rotten trick to fake your death so the Fellowship thinks all the dwarves in Moria are dead. Now he's on survivor? What a creep.

Ang, wasn't Balin teh one you had slated to win? Just checking...

We certainly do need two trolls! Three would be ideal, but some lot voted one off when i had my back turned. Native sheep poulation? The producers bought the island, and they can just as well live without sheep on it, if they get the ratings they want. And everyone like the antics these two are pulling: what with their strange societal ways they make for a bit of inter-tribe conflict. This would be serverly undermined if one were voted off: as Troll society is so very communal, the remaining Troll would feel the neel the need to gain assurace by assimilating into the mainstream of his tribe, thereby cancelling any culture-clashing.

I beleive its something like this:

Balin (woot): 5

Belladonna Took (holla): 5

Tom (save the Trolls!): 4




Error of margin: +/- 2 votes

The Reason for this Post: To motivate someone to get the accurate tally

There is one male hobbit and one female hobbit left.
If either of them are voted off, how will the hobbit strain continue? That my friends is hunting an endangered species.

Dwarves spring out of the ground. We dont need any more, they will just attack everybody for jools and loot.

Lalaith, you voted for Tom. Again if Tom is gone, then *checks list of remeaining characters* Then William will be without a friend, it was bad enough to vote off poor Bert, that's like breaking up the Blues Brothers, or Larry Curly and Mo, or 'W' and Blaire, or squash, beans, and corn! If your going to traumatize the trio by evicting one, leave the others alone for a chance for victory in Bert's name!

A vote for Tom is a vote against friendship.

Okay, it's well over 48 hours since the last cast out (28 minus 25 DOES equal 3, correct?). That being the case, I'm going to exercise my replacement-mod authority and tally up the votes...

Today, the threat of eviction hung over the heads of many... Gloin, Elrond, Roac, Belladona Took, Tom, and Balin. Belladonna, the sole female, bore perhaps the greatest fear, but in the end, the voting went as such:

Elrond: I
Roac: I
Belladonna Took: IIIII
Tom: III
Balin: IIIII I

Once again victorious, the Dwarf-cullers had removed Balin. Ever gentlemanly, the old Dwarf stood up, bowed low, and departed the Island for parts unknown. Whether or not it was deep, Balrog-infested caverns, or Hobbit holes... well, that's why I said the parts were unknown.

Once again, Belladonna Took was in major threat of eviction. But her loyal fans rallied around her banner to evict another of the Dwarven tribe. As Ms. Took told reporters: "I like to live on the edge, as long as I don't get pushed off."

The day's voting went as follows:

Belladonna Took: IIIII I
Tom: II
Kili: IIIII II

In inimitable style, Kili stood up, faced the eviction police, and was slaughtered in a valiant attempt to remain at his family's side. Apart from Fili, no one seemed to really notice his departure.

Pshaw! Believe me, nobody wants Tom gone any more than William. The two of them brawl incessantly, call each other all sorts of horrible names, and Tom hogs all the good loot. William would throw a party if Tom were voted off. He’d probably serve roast mutton with a side of villager.

Quote:

Yes, above I said “trolls” and “loot” in the same sentence. It is the trolls that are the looters. They’ve been raping and pillaging ever since they arrived on the island…and now somebody is trying to cover up their depravity by accusing the innocent (note the trollish spelling…of course, I would never suggest that anything so unpleasant as bribery could possibly be the root cause of all this).

Of course, this probably only increases this individual’s credibility in the eyes of some of our more unsavory electors.

And this same individual is now trying to paint us a picture of defending poor imposed upon Belladonna while keeping these brute beasts about on the island. After her victory she shall be delivering this individual a stern reprimand. (The creatures have made off with most of the money she brought with her. It is a miracle she has any left. However, it would be cruel for me to suggest that this individual wants to keep the trolls about the island in order for them to get the chance to rob the poor lady down to the very last penny... )

EDIT: Let's see if more people can't be persuaded to act more sensibly today.

For reasons mentioned earlier. I think even Ang and Saucie should have sated their dwarf-lust by now.
