Don Carlo. Rather a Maeglin character, I suppose, if we scrabble for a parallel...I saw the Schiller play Don Carlos a while back, very Germanic and serious-minded but majestic...I expect Verdi's take will be a bit different...

Votes:

Tilion-3
Androg-2

Morm's plan seems completely off-the-wall. But somehow, it's appealing. Plus, there's new research available to prove that petty-dwarf women are indistinguishable from males by moonlight, even to the sight of other petty-dwarves, but that the special glint of their eyes behind their beards can been seen by all in starlight. Therefore, if Tilion is removed, Mim and company should have an easier time with their...search. And hopefully, their quest will take them far from the vicinity of Androg's bow.

Enjoy the opera!

++ANDROG. He is an idiot. I can't understand what have you got against Tilion; he's a nice guy.

Those not already voted: Vote for Androg! He is a nasty guy, who wants to kill everybody without reasons. He is irritating. See Alcarillo's quotations.

I'm absolutely no big fan of Androg. His a stuck-up, trigger happy maniac. No, the world would be better without him and the Petty-Dwarfes would certainly be helped by the removal of him. But the fact that this is just a short term solution stands. We need to insure that there are dwarf women around for the lonely boys in Amon Rudh. To remove Tilion is a long shot, but worth a try. I don't see much of an option here, as the situation is somewhat desperate.

++Tilion

And send some sort of curse on Androg when your at it, Ang!

Votes-

Tilion-5
Androg-3

Any thoughts on whether voting should close late or early?

arcticstorm · 10-29-2005, 08:04 AM

I will go with one of my original gut influences and ++Androg

Anguirel · 10-29-2005, 08:35 AM

Actually, I can't count 1,000 reader's vote-it breaks the rule I laid out at the beginning about including at least some reasoning. The tally remains the same for the time being-

Tilon-5
Androg-3

I say again: early or late?

Wow! That Tilion idea is so crazy it just might work!

Ah, well, probably not. And Androg's absence (together with
Curufin's) would immeasureably improve the moral character of
Beleriand residents, so:
+ + Androg .
