LOTR Survivor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boromir88 · 09-06-2005, 06:22 PM

Perky, sorry, I must discount Balrog-Ents vote unless we happen to have a tie, we can't have mass lynchings...I mean..cast offs.

Kitanna, don't know if you are familiar with the show or not, but basically there's 12 people sent to an island all by themselves (though I doubt it). The losing tribe in the challenge has to vote one of their players off. Well, here to keep things simple, simply vote for one of the LOTR characters on the list. At the end of the days' voting the person with the most is "cast off" and we continue to the next. Again, voting for this day will be done at 5 pm (Eastern standard time, which I think is 9 pm barrowdowns time, if you want to figure out yours from there).

Hmm... Well, here goes.

Haha, Durelin, ahh the werewolf is all in us. Good logic for Thranduil, what was he thinking?

So far the votes are...

Arwen- 3
Radagast- 1
Thranduil- 1
Alatar- 1
Gandalf- 1
Grishnakh- 1
Gollum- 1
Lotho- 1

And Saucepan- 1...oops, disregard that.

Yes GIl, it is, it is. The good old Werewolf game, which just happens to be my first and I've lasted this long!!

I thought I would have been lynched or attacked by now. But I'm not complaining.

Formendacil · 09-06-2005, 08:10 PM

Although there are characters much more worthy of being destroyed... er, sent home, than those who have already been voted for, I will limit myself to that list for today's vote, for the simple fact that the list is otherwise enormous.

And so I add my vote to that of Kitanna's, and consequently vote for:

++Lotho Sackville-Baggins.

The evidence against Lotho is copious, and to go into it all here would be a pointless waste of many valuable seconds of my time. So, for the three main reasons.

LOTHO IS LAZY

Being stuck in Survivor Middle-Earth (Late Third Age Edition) is bad enough, without being lazy. There are only 42 people on this island, and everybody needs to do his or her fair share of the work. Not doing so is far more than unfair, it is practically criminal. And we all know that Lotho is among the laziest of hobbits.

LOTHO IS A WHINER

Even worse than being trapped with 40 people and one lazy person is being trapped with 40 people and one whiny person. One might be able to put up with Lotho doing no work. Putting up with Lotho's incessant whining just isn't going to happen.

LOTHO HAS NO ALLIES

Even his mother was alienated when she was sent to the Lockholes. And don't go looking to Grima or Sharkey for support.

Those are the three, main, judicious reasons. Reasons for which ANY islander would be executed... I mean, sent home. But there is a fourth, overwhelming reason.

"THE PIMPLE"

Lotho Sackville-Baggins is also known to history as 'the Pimple'. Witness any teenager's loathing and disgust of this eponym, and you will see why he ought to go. Never mind baddies like Sauron, or perverts like the Wormtongue, Middle-Earth Island will be a MUCH more pleasant place without the 'the Pimple'.

++Lotho Sackville-Baggins

The Perky Ent · 09-06-2005, 08:15 PM

No mass lynching? Awww, you got my hopes up

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-07-2005, 07:36 AM

Which Gothmog are we talking about? The winged one or the Man?

Because I'm about to vote for Bombadil, so he'd stop confusing people, when I realised Balrogs (and the Third Age Gothmog) confuse people, too.

Meanwhile, I vote for

++Frodo

Because he does nothing around the camp except mope. And, 'Sorry, but I can't carry stuff around because I'm nine-fingered.' isn't a good excuse.

Dimcollowen · 09-07-2005, 09:20 AM

well...I would have to vote ++Arwen because she is just soo dang annoying! When she isn't whining and complaing she's attempting boss every1 else around! Like just because she is an Elf she can get her way!! DO you see Galadriel doing that??? I think not!!
Oh! and another thing! She is always hanging all over Aragorn at the immunity challenges!! And that whole thing with Glorfingel!!! The worst part is when she is back at camp away from Aragorn she is constantly flirting with Legolas or Celeborn! First off she's married to Aragorn why would she even consider flirting with them?! And Secondly Celeborn is married to Galadriel get over it Arwen!!! Jeez!! I think that one of these days we are going to a cat from those 2 over him....

The Only Real Estel · 09-07-2005, 10:57 AM

Boromir, is this 'book' Survivor or 'movie' Survivor?

Because if it's movie then I'm strongly considering Gothmog for obvious reasons...

I don't think Boromir88 had double-lynchings...oops...cast-offs in mind, although I could have misunderstood.

So I vote for the tie-breaker option should Legolas and Tom wind up with the same number of votes (at least until Boro returns to give the final word). That will make things more interesting than a simple double vote off anyway.

Formendacil · 09-10-2005, 02:51 PM

Well, we've got about ten minutes left and no likelihood of a tie...

But I think that should one occur, we would be better off to use the more "Survivor-esque" solution, if only to drag out the gory... I mean glory of the... ending.

Glirdan · 09-10-2005, 03:15 PM

Sorry for the lateness of this post.

Here are how the scores stand

Legolas-5
Gloin-1
Tom Bombadil-2
Frodo-1
Sam-1
Goldberry-1
Treebeard-1
Denethor-1
Sauron-1

Due to his girly attitude, wussy behavior, being Captain Obious and always miraculously having a full quiver of arrows, Legolas has been ruthlessly kicked off the island. It's time to for him to answer for his father's mistake.

The remaining contestants are:

Hobbits
Bilbo
Frodo
Gollum
Lobelia Sackvill-Baggins
Lotho Sackville-Baggins
Merry
Pippin
Sam

Men and Rohan Lady
Aragorn
Boromir
Denethor
Eomer
Eowyn
Faramir
Grima
Hama

Wizards
Alatar
Pallando
Radagast
Saruman

Dwarves
Gimli
Gloin

Elves
Celeborn
Cirdan
Elrond
Galadriel
Glorfindel
Haldir
Thranduil

Others
Goldberry
Quickbeam
Tom Bombadil
Treebeard

Badguys
MovieGothmog
Grishnakh
Sauron
Ugluk

You may now start your crack down on the remaining contestants.

Edit: Sorry about that everyone. I put the others list in now.

The Perky Ent · 09-10-2005, 03:38 PM

++Sauron

He's too powerful. None of us can beat him in an immunity challenge, even if we ally against him. Frodo, Gollum, and Sam are the only ones that can beat him. They're next on my list. He makes all these aliiances, but doesn't keep half of them, and is constantly at war. Plus, he keeps peeping at us at night with his Fiery eye taht sees all. It's a privacy invasion. Plus, he carries the mace of instant death. It's just not fair. I say we kick him off

WaynetheGoblin · 09-10-2005, 03:59 PM

++ARAGORN because he is the king and he can order us at any time to let him win.

Alcarillo · 09-10-2005, 04:11 PM

Actually, he's not on the list, but I'm voting out

++Tom Bombadil

The singing gets very annoying.
