I'd say dwarves, women, or Ainur- but if Ainur you'd need
to include some Maiar to get to 20. Or some general mix
of the two.

I'm all up for Ainur--which I believe include Valar and Maiar.

Tuor in Gondolin · 04-23-2009, 08:27 PM

Doh! Quite correct about Ainur covering both.

Btw, if maia included there would be difficult choices
since they include Osse, Uinen, Melian, Gothmog.
Sauron, etc. In that case should heavyweights like
Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron, be excluded if they've
already been participants- or seperate
games for Valar and Maiar?

But, of course, there are other interesting contests
suggested above and in the past.

I think Gandalf and Saruman should be included only if we refer to them by their Valinorean names.

Gordis · 04-23-2009, 11:26 PM

I think we shouldn't artificially bring the list up to 20. If there are 15 Valar (including ol'Morgoth) so be it.

And that goes for Orcs, for instance. I don't think we will find 20 Orcs with anything like a distinct personality in LOTR+Hobbit. So we just list all we remember and so be it, IMO.

The votes thus far-

Elves
Men
Dwarves (2)
Ainu (4)
Females (3)
Orcs (2)
Weapons & Armor (1)
Monsters (1)

Who else has an opinion on what we do next?

I'd prefer Ainur or females, too.
