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.

satansaloser2005 · 09-04-2012, 03:12 PM

Melodramatic? Yes. Ridiculous? Certainly. Uncensored, uncloaked, and unacceptable.

++Gandalf the Grey Uncloaked

Predictable, but....sometimes there are just those cards, you know?

Sorry for the delay, everyone. Busy day.

No problem with the delay, but you should be sorry for your unimaginative decision...

Boromir88 · 09-04-2012, 03:21 PM

Lottie is the winner of "melodramatic"

Tally

the phantom - 3 (Honest, Insane, Violent)
Nogrod - 2 (Extraordinary, Peaceful)
Gwath - 2 (Neglected, Charming)
Menel - 2 (Cuddly, Ridiculous)
Kitanna - 1 (Deadly)
Lhuna - 1 (Weary)
sally - 1 (Chewy)
Lottie- 1 (Melodramatic)

----

ROUND 14

Nogrod for "rank"...again have fun picking the winner out of this grouping:

The Prancing Pony
Azog
Aragorn
Orthanc
The Dead Marshes
Turgon
Harry Goatleaf
Chief Wolf
Tom Huggins
Aule

*I caught another error (at least it was minor) that The Prancing Pony was actually not an red tater sent to me for "chewy" so, it's been removed from the previous list it has since been sent to me for this round.*
----

ROUND 15

Green tater: Dangerous (threatening, hazardous, fortified)
Judge: Wilwa

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 · 09-06-2012, 01:54 PM

Wilwa is having lots of RL smush, so we'll extend this round another day. And let her have the time to read the arguments for the most "dangerous" red tater.

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.

-----

ROUND 16

"Attractive" -

Anduril
Tilion
Forlong the Fat
Lotho Pimple
Luthien
White Tower of Ecthelion
Silent Watcher
Arkenstone
Boromir

And how about this...

Earendil
Elwing

heh

----

ROUND 17

Green tater: Sensitive (susceptible, sympathetic, tender)
Judge: G55

*Everyone should at this point have 7 red taters left. All of them have been used, or are currently in players hands...erm pm boxes?*

Have you Boro considered a concept of a double-win?

MCRmyGirl4eva · 09-07-2012, 04:18 PM

Hmmm... those are both VERY attractive options... I'll have to do somethinking for this one...

Maybe we should vote or something.

But wilwa will probably be here before the voting will be over, so it's also kind of pointless...

MCRmyGirl4eva · 09-08-2012, 10:40 AM

Okay, as I'm filling in as judge, I pick:

*drumroll*

THE ARKENSTONE!
