Day 14

Voting

Sauron - 9
Bofur - 8
Durin - 1

A close race but surprisingly not very heated day came to an end with Sauron inching out Bofur. As the votes were tallied the Dark Lord rose from his seat intent on keeping as much dignity as he could muster only to find himself breaking down into tears, not tears of sadness, but rather, of joy as he was presented his going away ring. He thought his ring had been found and now he would take over this puny island all by himself. However, much to his shock and dismay as he slipped on his ring he simply ceased to exist. People just didn't care enough anymore.

The remaining contestants:

From the Lord of the Rings Survivor
Gimli
Hama
Gandalf

From the Silmarillion Survivor
Elbereth
Osse
Ingwe

From the Hobbit Survivor

Gurthang has just left Hobbiton.
Well, I've been missing out. Let's see what we've got to work with.

*looks at list*

Looks like we've got a few too many dwarves left in the competition. I'm saddened that I come too late to change what happened just a few moments ago. Time to do some 'weeding out' of the... *coughStuntedcough* 'plants'. So away with them dark dwellers.

Again, why do we have to keep one of the most useless characters in The Hobbit around for this long? I don't recall Bofur contributing much to the Quest at all except for looking after the ponies with Bombur at one point. Seriously, we need to get rid of him.

At least there won't be any more uncloaking jokes coming this way!

This one's not bandwaggon. I seriously want him gone, the useless Dwarf.

There seems to be a distinct case of dwarf-o-phobia and it sickens and saddens me to see such raw hatred against such a noble race. Bofur useless! Never have I heard such inflated tales of treachery and I've spent time with Saruman too. I guarantee that Bofur did more for that little adventure than any other including Gandalf, Bilbo and Thorin. He should stay and be praised but you all seem bent on diminishing such a noble and valiant character...for shame!

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!

I can't remember anything significant about him at all. I can think of something for more than half the dwarves, but not Bofur. Morm, I notice you don't bring up anything specific...
