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

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.

Maybe separate Vala and Maia contest would be the answer. They're each very different characters and I think people might get upset if they're favourite Maia gets missed out.

Yeah, maybe have the Valar, and then the non-Vala Ainu.... I'll add the Valar as another category.

Elves
Men
Dwarves (2)
Ainu (5)
Females (4)
Orcs (2)
Weapons & Armor (1)
Monsters (1)
Valar

We can make two parallel threads: Valar and Maiar contests.
