With it being a holiday over here and things slowing down I was actually going to announce let's have a break today and continue again on Tuesday.

Enjoy the day. Cheers.

That's the only right answer this round, Sally. I'm not going to bother making opposing arguments.

And now- I'm off to enjoy my schedule-free day!

Nogrod · 09-03-2012, 01:16 PM

Surprise us Sally and don't go with the trump card.

Think fex. of Fingolfin's Melodramatic story - being rewarded from his righteousness after all the toil, sorrow and heroic crossing of Helcaraxë, becoming the High king through his might and trueness - and his son's deeds.

And how does it end? Hearing a false story of his side losing he rides ALONE to challenge Morgoth himself into a duel! And he deals Morgoth a good deal of blows nobody had done or would (fex. making him to limp for the rest of his corporeal being)... and dying, of course, like any melodramatic hero needs to do. But even in death his body was rescued by none else than Thorondor and a cairn was built to honour his memory...

I mean what melodramatic is in Gandalf cloaked or uncloaked in comparison to that story?

Galadriel55 · 09-03-2012, 06:24 PM

When I was already out of town I realized that I forgot to tell you guys I won't be here for a couple days. Sorry.

For melodramatic, I would say Aredhel and Sack of Nargothrond are quite accurate, but Mr. Uncloaked trumps them all.

PS: Boro, I didn't get a new red tater to replace chewy one. May I please...?

Meneltarmacil · 09-03-2012, 08:44 PM

I'm not sure why Gandalf the Grey Uncloaked seems to be the obvious choice here. Sure, it's hilarious, but how is it melodramatic?

Gwathagor · 09-04-2012, 01:03 AM

Or even dramatic. But melodramatic?

Boromir88 · 09-04-2012, 01:49 PM

Due to complications Sally is going to be about a half an hourish late. I will post all the next round stuff soon after.

Boromir88 · 09-06-2012, 07:11 AM

I was informed this morning there was a mistake, as someone accidentally sent their "attractive" choice to the judge, G55.

So, what I'm going to then is have MCR judge the upcoming round "attractive." And then G55 will judge the following round.

Boromir88 · 09-07-2012, 01:56 PM

Still nothing from wilwa? Hopefully she has the time to come on soon and make a decision. If not would anyone object if I name the winner, despite knowing everyone's taters?

In the meantime we'll just proceed to attractive and MCR will judge this round.
