Survivor: The Second Age

[the phantom]

Hmm...

I have about the same desire to keep Khamul as I have to keep Gil, so neither represents a victory or defeat.

So who should I vote for?

Well, it seems there are several people who hate elves in general, and particularly want the Noldor to be defeated. This confuses me, because there is not a reason to be against the Noldor and the elves more than any other group.

So, simply to resist this foolishness, I will cast my vote for
+ + Khamul

[lord of dor-lomin]

I was waiting for you to post, phantom, because I thought that you'd at least try to come up with something different- but you didn't, so now it's up to me.

Vote for Orophir!! He's still hanging about in the Sindarin camp. He has to be the most insignificant King in the game. If you Gil-galad voters pick him, you will still get to kill an elven King, and you Khamul voters- most of you are voting for Khamul simply to save Gil-galad, so why should you care?

Vote for
+ + Orophir

Wouldn't it be nice to have everyone get on the same page for one day?

[the phantom]

Um, lord, I doubt most of these people are bright enough to know a good compromise when they see one.

These are the same fools that chose to cast out the great Isildur before his little Ohtar, the same pack of idiots who voted off the most powerful tyrant of the age, Ar Pharazon, before the completely useless Durin III.

I think that the ability to think, reason, and come to logical conclusions is beyond at least half of the participants on this thread.

EDIT: Plus, I doubt there is time to get enough people to change their votes anyway. It's late in the day. You should just vote for Khamul and take the double lynch. The way I see it, a double lynching gets this game over with quicker.

No, I think that they are bright enough, they are just choosing to vote stupidly. I'm just trying to convince them to vote smart like they could.

I doubt there is time to get enough people to change their votes anyway.

Ooh, I didn't even think about that.

Okay, okay- I'll do the double lynch like you say.
- - Orophir
+ + Khamul

If I may jump in, I'm going to say...

++Gild-Galad

Because his name alliterates and so really, can you take him seriously?

[the phantom]

Because his name alliterates

Same goes for Daffy Duck, but you have no problem displaying him in your avatar.

PS Hi, haven't seen you in forever, Diamond.

Well, I try not to take him too seriously, either.

PS Hi, haven't seen you in forever, Diamond.

Oh, I've been around. Scarce, to be true, but here and there, laughing in dark corners and all that. I've seen you.

[Anguirel]

(A crowded train carriage. It is filled with Parents, Celebrities, Teachers, Maths Problems, Llamas, and Jack Russell Terriers. It is, to wit, an Assignment to Mordor.)

(We see Anguirel, armoured as usual, in the midst of the press. Closer up.)

ANGUIREL: For the Mordorient Express, this train is running suspiciously efficiently. No delays, no stops, no breakdowns...yet...

(Close up on the llamas. There's something slightly odd about them.)

(The Jack Russell Terriers chase the Teachers and Parents out of the carriage. Ominous music is heard. In fact, it's Britney Spears.)

CELEBRITIES: Ewww!

(They depart en masse. Their envy is positively rhythmical.)

(There really is something odd about those llamas.)

ANGUIREL: My, my...this carriage is certainly emptying quickly! You'd almost think they were about to cut the coupling to it and murder me, ha ha ha...

(The Maths problems sweep out. There is a crack and the carriage skids out...)

ANGUIREL: ...oh, right, they are.

(Pan-out. The carriage is falling off a vast suspension bridge over the Mountains of Mordor.)

(The llamas are falling about. They look really unworried. What is it that's peculiar about them? There are nine of them...)

ANGUIREL: Only one thing for it. Time for a stunt.

(He dives out of the window, twirls in a figure of eight, and lands unscathed on a convenient ridge. To his surprise, he sees that the llamas have done the same. Their convenient ridges are conveniently within convenient reach of his convenient ridge...even if you have splayed feet.)

ANGUIREL: Wait! You're not all llamas! One of you is a camel!

(Anguirel, the Secret Agent, draws Anguirel, the sword.)

LLAMAS AND CAMEL: Any last requests...mortal?

ANGUIREL: (Suavely, in one-liner mode) Yeah. Jump on this sword.

(An epic fight ensues. One by one, seven Llamas are sliced apart or knocked to their doom, emitting high-pitched screeches. Another Llama, wearing a spiky crown, kicks Anguirel hard.)

WITCH LLAMA: I bear a charmed life...

(Anguirel hacks it in half too, though it squeals "I'll be back." He swivels and points Anguirel at the Camel's throat.)

ANGUIREL: Who do you work for?

CAMEL: Haven't you guessed?

ANGUIREL: The Alliance of Ultra-Doom? The League of Extraordinary Barrow-Downers? Ohhhh...Sauron! Annatar! The Lord of the Gift Vouchers! Of course! Where is Amanda now, you fiend?

CAMEL: (cackling menacingly) At her parents' house.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Such jealousy is being demonstrated here. Why are so many great characters being voted for and killed off (effectively)?

++ERENDIS

If you're going to bandwagon, then go after someone worth killing. If you go to a restaurant with two friends and one of them orders lasagne and the other orders chicken, and you don't like lasagne that much but you really hate chicken so you panic and gasp to the waiter "I'll have lasagne!" even though you really want pizza...

...then you're an oddity.

I know this doesn't apply to all of you but it's an attitude which is too often found here!
