Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril
Eilinel is my fourth nominee. There would be four nominations and four secondings.

As for Nienor and Lalaith, I want them in.

Oh yes, I knew I made some mistake - I miscounted the people Pitch had nominated. Sorry about that. Anyway, what Lottie said would solve it in any case. Though...

Okay, I would say, also with what Lottie said and what I have said earlier, let's have four nominations and secondings for this game. It seems rather sensible under these circumstances, and there seems to be generally support for it, or at least not outright disagreement.

As for the latter: well, Urwen, then you have to wait and hope that people will second them. Maybe you can nicely ask them if they wouldn't vote for your favourites.

Hey, all right, somebody has to make "the cut", right?

I am going to post this here as the "official rules" so that people will be able to continue in the game from now on. If anybody disagrees with this, then you can raise your voice later, but until that happens and unless somebody raises some convincing argument against it, we shall go normally by these rules:

OFFICIAL RULES FOR THIS THREAD:

Everyone has four nominations and four secondings. You cannot second the person you have nominated.

A nominated person with two secondings gets into the contest.


IN
Túrin
Haleth

NOMINATED
Nienor (+1)
Lalaith (+1)
Húrin (+1)
Morwen (+1)
Brandir (+1)
Barahir (+1)
Gorlim (+1)
Marach (+1)
Aerin (+1)
Andreth (+1)
Eilinel (+1)
Tuor
Huor
Hador
Emeldir
Beren

Remaining votes (nominations/secondings):
Urwen: 0/3
Galadriel55: 0/1
Sally: 4/2
Pitch: 0/2
Lottie: 2/1
Legate: 2/1
TPotSS: 2/3 (I didn't count in your original four secondings, just the Morwen one which you said also later, because even though according to these rules you could now second four people, Túrin is now in, so it would be an unnecessary waste of vote, so I find it the best if you manage it by yourself and use your votes as you see fit now...)

If I have miscounted something, please correct me (but at least by comparing the number of people who are in and number of votes dealt with the number of votes people have left, it seems to fit, so that should be right).

Andreth is the third one in! And I might as well just second Lalaith, so she's in too. Happy now, Urwen?

No.

But if someone seconded Nienor, then yes...

I nominate Dorlas.

And, for that matter, the folk of the Gaurwaith also count among the Edain, right? At least with most of them, it is said that they were originally from some of the Three Houses. Well, who in the Beleriand wasn't, anyway! So I have no idea why neither of them has been nominated yet? They are great!

So my last nomination will be Andróg, who is just a wonderful character.
