Survivor: The Second Age - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oh, but you have. See, the Saucie/Kuru Alliance of DOOM (to which you generously contributed the name) was partially constructed to annoy you.

Believe me, I know what I am talking about here, you have power when people want to annoy you.

Although, at the moment, I'm admittedly more interested in annoying phantom.

Why don't you join us for a bit? Then we could have the Ang/Saucie/Kuru Alliance of Uber-DOOM!! (Notice how I offered to give you top billing.)

Edit: Maybe we should offer Lalaith a spot in the Alliance of DOOM and call it the Alliance of Ultra-DOOM...

Anguirel · 02-28-2006, 02:43 PM

That would entail you releasing Goldie and hunting Fuinur, about whom, to be fair, we know zilch. The fellow hasn't opened his mouth yet. He's obviously banking on playing the ethnic minority card to secure victory...

If you think talentless people should be given a free ride by virtue of their melanin while interesting extroverts go down like dominoes, go ahead, vote for poor maligned Ar-Pharazon, and I hope you're pleased with yourselves...

Very. We're annoying already.

My master The Saucepan Man will be pleased.

Oh, please. You could stretch your alliance to include nearly every member of the Downs and it still wouldn't be worthy of using the term "uber"- not when its goals are opposed to what is right (ie what the phantom says).

The only alliance deserving of a grand title around here is Kuru and SP's alliance with uber-idiocy.

A spot? What sort of spot?

Anguirel · 02-28-2006, 03:58 PM

Transparently a berth in the bilges...

Announcer: And we’re back to Second Age Survivor, brought to you by Fast Fat. Remember, to gain back all that tricky weight you lost while dieting, take Fast Fat! I’m joined in the booth by Bob, but now for a report by our sideline reporter Amanda.

Sideline Reporter: (Lower the camera angle!) Thank you Cliff. The recent action has been the most boring so far in Second Age Survivor. Not since the finale of Hobbit Survivor has anything been duller. Even the contestants are bored and have started a conga/limbo line.

Announcer: mmmaaaahhh…what, sorry! Whuh, Bob!

Color Commentator: Whaat?!

Announcer: Your analysis.

Color Commentator: Oh, uhhhh, Isildur made it through the limbo without any trouble whatsoever. Sauron was stuck for a moment but then he decided to step over. Tar-Miriel pulled out a broadsword and chopped the limbo stick in half. This caused a bit of a problem until everybody grabbed Fimbrethil and used her as the limbo stick. When Treebeard came through, he’d forgotten that she was there and accidentally trampled her. This caused the dance to break up in confusion as paramedics stormed the building, inflicting a few more casualties.

Announcer: What will happen now?

Color Commentator: I’m going to order a nice brandy.

Mr. Billy Club hits Bob on the noggin

Color Commentator: I mean, I think Kuruharan will vote for…

++ Amandil

…completely at random to show solidarity with those who are protesting all the group think that was going on earlier.

Announcer: We’ll be right back.

How marvellous. The Alliance of Doom has already scored one victory.

Glad to have you aboard, Lal.

You speak as if we were the only ones here. Every Reality Show has it's fair share of uninformed and/or dispassionate voters who frustrate the true fans by consistently voting off the contestants that they like. The Alliance of Doom is merely reproducing that effect for this show, thus providing it with the necessary degree of reality.

I am, in any event, fairly dispassionate about the Second Age, so it's a natural role for me to fulfil.

I am reserving judgment at the moment.

Fimbrethil and Fangorn were originally brought onto the program to increase the romance factor. Unfortunately, Entish romance has turned out rather dull owing to the extreme non-hastiness of the society as a whole. Fimbrethil is a bit more hasty than Fangorn, given her long years of wandering. Besides, she has important skill as a gardener for the farming challenges. Fangorn just lets the weeds spring up where they please. And so:

++FANGORN
