The first day of voting is over. The Remade citizens of Arda sit back and note with amusement the following final distribution of the votes:
Sauron: I Glorfindel: I Anárion: I Fuinur: I Durin III: IIIII Ar-Pharazôn: IIIII I With six votes out of a total of fifteen cast, Ar-Pharazôn narrowly heads off Durin III for the first dismissal. It would appear that the voters of Arda Envinyanta haven't forgotten the man who did more than Melkor to destroy the world as we know it. Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Amdír Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Tar-Aldarion Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Durin III Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Thorondor Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Herumor Fuinur Those Voted Off: Ar-Pharazôn the Golden Day 2 is up! Vote to your little hearts' contents.

Ahhh...the sweet smell of our first victory!!
Announcer: Welcome back to the Second Age Survivor brought to you by Swallow Hard, your cure for all gall bladder complains. Remember, when you have excess gall, use Swallow Hard. And we’re back to the action. I’m joined here in the booth by Bob. Bob, what is your take on the action?
Color Commentator: Well Cliff, the main development has been the reformation of the Saucie/Kuru Alliance of DOOM! This limping juggernaut may or may not have a discernable impact on the course of the game. They are currently offering a spot to the Elector Lalaith. This would simply involve the three of them combining votes until such time as they all ran out of mutually agreeable targets for eviction. At that point they will undoubtedly turn on each other. However, by that point they will probably have burned through about five or six candidates that they don’t like. (did you get all that Lalaith?  ) Kuruharan is currently hoping that Holbytlass will put in an appearance because he has a deal to propose.Oh yes, and there may have been a successful eviction or some rot like that, I can't be bothered with following the details when I'm analyzing the game. Meanwhile, whether or not the Alliance of DOOM has a discernable impact on the voting, they are already succeeding in annoying Anguirel and the phantom. This has been great for the ratings. Announcer: And why is that Bob? Color Commentator: (Where is my Martini James Bond?!! Somebody is going to be fired for this!!!)…ahem, sorry. The viewers find the spectacle of the phantom losing it to be irresistible. When he starts cracking up (and we are seeing signs of this) he has a tendency to sometimes become hysterical, which is hysterical. The viewers love hilarity. He also is one of the top targets on H.A.G.’s hit list because he is a male chauvinist. Anything that annoys him is good in their eyes. (They also resent the fact that he won’t try to seduce them…but I won’t say anything about that because we’ll be sued again.) F.A.T. and R.E.A.L. F.A.T. also (oddly enough) can agree on the fact that they don’t like him because he is better looking and more successful with the ladies than they are. Announcer: (That git!) Color Commentator: They are just green with envy. Uhh…Cliff, you don’t look so good…turning an interesting shade of teal… Announcer: Nonsense! The phantom is more than welcome to see our show and watch our commercials. Sideline Reporter: THE PHANTOM?!! Did you say the phantom?!! He’s watching now?!! And I’m without my leather!!! Announcer: No fair, I’ve never seen you in your lea… SSSHHHHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSHHHHHHHHHHH Director: We interrupt this program to give a stern talking to in the general direction of the broadcast team about proper behavior, and to get the stiff drinks out of the booth. We will take advantage of this opportunity to show a few more hours of commercials. BAWH-HAWH-HAWH-HAWH!!!

The most boring character ever. Oh, look at me! I'm in a mutually unsatisfactory relationship! But do I try to add any drama to my story? Answer's no. A total waste of space. I've decided that both he and Erendis must go. As long as this is brought about, I shall be happy.

The Second day of voting is over. The Remade citizens of Arda sit back and note with amusement the following final distribution of the votes:
Fangorn: II Thorondor: IIIII II Tar-Aldarion: IIIII II Once again, a King of the Númenoreans received an eviction notice from the game. It seems that the good voters of Arda Envinyanta were highly Catholic in their thinking, and looked down in disapproval on Arda's foremost example of marital strife. However, Tar-Aldarion was not alone in his eviction, but was accompanied from the game by Thorondor. The voters did not feel, it seemed, that he had a real right to be present. Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Amdír Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Durin III Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Herumor Fuinur Those Voted Off: Ar-Pharazôn the Golden Day 3 begins now! Vote away as you please.

The Third day of voting is over. The final distribution of votes is as follows:
Amandil: I Amdír: I Elros: I Glorfindel: II Durin III: IIIII III There seems to be a clear anti-king trend among the voting. Once again, a male ruler gets the axe, in this case the Dwarven King. Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Amdír Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Herumor Fuinur Day 4 begins now! Vote away as you please.

Save the Kings! Down with the pox-ridden republicans!
A clear destabiliser of monarchy was ++HERUMOR whose methods were so depressing even Tolkien couldn't write about them for long, it seems...oops, that would be the Fourth Age chappie. Ah well. Still a blimming anti-monarchist schemer. Get him.

The book Anthem and in paticular objectionalism says that if Herumor and Fuinur had the willpower and sole justification, then they are obliged to dominate weaker willed men, being the Haradrim. Dont hate the peeps, hate the theory.

As the Fourth day of voting drew to an end, it was clear that there was no one, single bandwaggon prevalent. The final distribution of votes is as follows:
Celebrimbor: I Fuinur: I Elrond: II Amdír: IIII Herumor: IIII Once again, a King is killed- albeit, since it's Amdír, it's hardly a huge loss. One could almost make the case that since Herumor appears in the Silmarillion, while Amdír only made Unfinished Tales, Herumor is the greater loss. Either way, they're both gone. Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Fuinur Day 5 begins now! The only tribes untouched are the Noldor and the Elendili- the tribes the Phantom and Anguirel have respectively sworn to protect, interestingly enough. Vote away as you please.

The Fifth day of voting drew to an end, one candidate having garnered an overwhelming majority of votes, although the number of players increased. The final distribution of votes is as follows:
Elros: I Glorfindel: I Erendis: I Isildur: I Sauron: Elrond: II Fuinur: IIIII IIII Fuinur, little known and ill loved, was evicted by the largest vote thus far. Sacrificed for Elrond's sake, he departed the game, never to return (as stated in the rules...). Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Day 6 begins now! Vote as you please.

Attention People, your Moderator has a quick announcement to make...
The past Day started off the great Save Elrond campaign with the Phantom asking Elu Ancalime to explain his vote for Elrond. Now, in the past couple games, the moderators had requested that all votes be accompanied by some sort of rationale- a rule put in place to stimulate debate. When I set up this game, I deliberately didn't put any such rule in place. After all, the fun here is the alliances and the arguments and the petty squabling and revenge- right? Well, maybe or maybe not. This is, don't forget, a Tolkien-based game. So, I would like to see, if possible, some reasoning, preferably Tolkien-based, no matter how illogical or distorted, to accompany your votes. This does not mean that votes without a rationale will necessarily be disqualified. As the day just ended shows, a little bit of lack of reasoning CAN stimulate debate and make for an awesome day. However, just to make it quite clear, if the Moderator (that would be me) so desires, he can and possibly will, disqualify votes lacking a reason- votes such as Elu Ancalime made yesterday. I might, or I might not. To vote without a rationale, therefore, is a gamble. I advise doing so with caution. Thank you, you may return to the search for the lovely Amanda.

Those treacherously removed by the insidious Alliance of Ultra-Doom
Ar-Pharazon Tar-Aldarion Amdir Those cunningly driven out by the Heroic Resistance of Individual Freethinkers Thorondor Durin III Herumor Those overwhelmed by the League of Extraordinary Barrow-Downers Fuinur The balance swings against the Alliance as a powerful new player enters the stage... But as the Alliance is now in the unlikely position of underdog, it's possible that it will wheedle back some support. As for me, I shall vote once more for a character I dislike who is, methinks, unlikely to have the League's backing...thereby keeping Individual Freethinking alive... Down with grasping Maia! Down with cursed jewelry! L'Imagination Au Pouvoir! ++ANNATAR, LORD OF TACKINESS EDIT: In other news, this evening I am due to arrive at Mithlond, Lindon, to attend a rock concert performed by Ereinion Gil-Galad and his backing group, Cirdan and Elrond...perhaps I shall find Amanda this time...

The Sixth day of voting draws to an end, and despite the appearance of spirited debate, the voting came down heavily behind one candidate. The Noldor, it seems, were to be culled. The final distribution of votes is as follows:
Círdan: I Erendis: II Fimbrethil: II Celeborn: III Glorfindel: IIIII III One the favourite "minor" characters in The Lord of the Rings, Glorfindel's popularity did not stretch to the Second Age. With an even half the votes, he was voted off. Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Day 7 is begun! Vote away!

The Seventh day of voting, despite an originally wide range of candidates, ended up coming down to a contest between two candidates: the Isildur the High King, and his loyal squire, Ohtar (or, should I say, his loyal Ohtar?). Only the kinsmen of the Moderator (if Lhuna is my sister, and Nilp is her brother, and Eomer is brother or cousin, then they're all my kinsmen, right?) remained aloof from the Isildur/Ohtar debate. The final distribution of votes is as follows:
Celeborn: I Erendis: II Ohtar: IIIII II Isildur: IIIII IIII Despite heavy defence from the Cavaliers, Isildur could not muster enough support to defeat Ohtar, and so went the way of Charles I, and was removed from the Survivor Game. Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Day 8 is ready to go. The voting may now begin.
