OFFICIAL NOTICE OF LENGTHENED DAY:

Due to the Barrow-downs having been down these past few hours, this Day will remain open to voting for a goodly number of hours, probably in the are of 15-20, until such time as I can end it.

Don't worry Treebeard, I still love you.

He could defeat anyone on that list in a fight. All he needs to do is step on them.

Let the Ent depart then; but let the ants fight among themselves for this dainty.

Oh, btw, to avoid vote-voiding, my wife-kitchen reference was actually the reason I gave for voting off Elendil in post 457. But the reasoning still holds as we are never told the name of Elros' wife....
There was clearly something weird going on in that family. The eldest boy, born to be king, abdicates instead. The only girl is called "daughter of twilight", and that's all we know about her. We don't know much about the two younger boys, either. I think Elros got very depressed by his decision to be mortal and infected his children with his gloom.

There are (I think) currently 6 votes for Narvi and 4 votes for Elros, although Gil-Galad’s vote for Narvi is questionable, to put it mildly.

Anyone else fancy altering the dull way this day is going and changing (or changing back) their vote to Celeborn? I’ll kick us off.

+ + CELEBORN

Previous reasoning applies.

Yep. Celeborn is rather dull, no match for girl elves.

- - Narvi

+ + Celeborn

I don't know, Sauce. Even if I change my vote back to Celeborn, that will only increase him to 3 votes and reduce Narvi to 4 (possibly 3 considering Gil's vote). Whereas Elros has 4. As I see it, such a move on my part at this point would be just as useful as changing my vote to Elros.

Only if no one else follows. But if you (like the admirable Tuor) lead the way, others will surely follow.

What we need here is leadership, a quality in which Celeborn, skulking pathetically behind his wife, is sadly lacking ...

For reasons I've already stated, aeons ago.

And because Anguirel is away. Hush, okay? Tell him I voted for Celebrian and he's merely seeing an illusion if he thinks otherwise.

Save Tar-Miriel!

Celuien has just left Hobbiton.

Then is Celeborn doomed? Will no one else come to our aid?

It seems that unjustly besmirching the names of the female characters (Fimbrethil, Celebrian, Tar-Miriel) is the favorite passtime of a few players here. Unfortunately for them, their game is too obvious.

if my vote becomes void because i didn't think tar-Miriel handled herself as queen good enough then all the Celeborn votes for him being incompetent should be void too
