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 .

Lord! We need some more Moon-haters!

Tilion-5
Androg-4 (potentially 5 if 1000 reader kindly provides some reasoning)

I like being on morm's side. It makes a change. I wonder if Saucie will swallow our recent feuding and take up the, er, unorthodox cause?

I've decided that the voting will close late. Expect a write-up at about 10:30 am GMT tomorrow...

But I can't vote with you, Ang. I'd have to award myself the apple!

Actually, I am content with the removal of Curufin - for the time being. But I do feel that the "short-term" solution is the better one here. Androg was responsible for more petty-dwarf deaths than anyone else I can think of. Remove him and we give them a better chance of finding suitable - er - partners (wherever they may be). Besides, if I vote for Androg, we may achieve a tie, which (assuming morm's crazy theory works) is best for them all round.

For the simpel reason that I like Tilion, but I do think that mormegil's plan is fantastic.

You forget Hurin my dear Saucie...one of my favorites and the actual extinguisher of the Petty-dwarf race so your logic is flawed in this as I see it.

A straightforward proclamation of anti-dwarfism. Notice how Androg refers to himself in the third person, a characteristic usually found in psychos.

He shows an apalling willingness to slaughter dwarves in their own home.

Androg has already slain one dwarf, let it not go any further!

I am all for a double eviction, and hopefully winning this challenge in any way possible.
