Ah well, in that case ...

No. I'll stick with my vote. While I like Giles as a character and find his tale to be the best of the Minors, I prefer to vote in a way which enlivens the game than purely according to my tastes. It amuses me to see most of the major minor characters go down and I think it is likely to make for a more interesting finale.

Besides, it doesn't look like it would make much difference now.

And I was truly grateful for your vote yesterday.

Pipe It doesn't do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations.

My! Someone I haven't yet voted for. I must correct this oversight. Or, in the immortal words of many a WWII submarine adventure: dive, dive, dive!

Now's my chance!

Down with the Latin-naméd blunderbuss-brandisher!

++Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)

After all those days of voting for him, I finally get to see his head on the chopping block...

What a deadly boring day...

Say what you like, man of many Saucepans, but this blind coalition of Giles-voters are dead boring. Where is the suspence in a predetermined race?

Sauce at least has a good excuse... but most of you? Pathetic.

Alas, but there is virtually nobody to join with to form even an attempt at a counter-bandwaggon. But I shall try- for the sake of interest.

-- Nell, ++ Alf, King of Faerie

I too have memories of Alien Alf- and I was an easily scared child at the time...

Hello!

Just thought I'd jump in to join the bandwagon!

++Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)

++And your little dog, too! ( )

Oh, guess I can't do that.

--his little dog, Gram

I best stick around; got to make sure Bêthberry doesn't off my personal favorite!

Silmaril End of Day the Thirty-Fifth

Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham) - 8 votes

Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie: 1 vote

Queen of Faerie: 1 vote

Chrysophylax Dives: 1 vote

And so, The Only Real Estel gleefully shot Giles with his own blunderbuss. However, the wound was not fatal, so Alcarillo assigned him to Mordor for anakronistic usage of said blunderbuss. (Giles, not TORE.)


Day the Thirty-Sixth finds 7 contestants remaining:

Also, I've rearranged the tribes on a whim:


The Dudes:

Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
The Parson


The Chicks:

Goldberry
Queen of Faerie
Nell


The Beasties:

Gram
Chrysophylax Dives

Okay, the "chicks" really do need culling. Let's even out this field a little...

And the dullest of the lot is clearly Nell.

Once again into the breech....
