++Ori

Was there even a point to bringing him along? He contributed absolutely nothing to the Quest, as did quite a few other Dwarves on it. Come on, we need to get rid of some of these redundant characters!

I dont know why I didnt notice this was here but I will vote for a random.
++william
I picked a random villain I want the villains to lose.

Anguirel · 11-30-2005, 03:58 PM

To save William I will join Gurthang's campaign against the fairly nondescript Dwarf

++ORI

Celuien · 11-30-2005, 04:04 PM

I feel rather sorry for William myself. Poor little blighter. I suspect he's really not such a villain after all, just misunderstood and lonely.

++ORI

Glirdan · 11-30-2005, 04:05 PM

On second thought, I'm going to go after another useless Dwarf

--Great Goblin
++ Ori

I know I might be joining the bandwagon but I have another reason for voting for him. What kind of recorder ( I think) goes and gets himself killed by orcs in Moria. I mean come on!!

Oh really? Why's that? As is traditional, I would rather the villains won.

I most certainly agree that the Trolls are a class act, and therefore that none should be evicted just yet. They are, as it happens, rather accomplished chefs (speciality mutton garnished with Hobbits' toes), and so fulfil a useful function within the camp.

I also agree that we should continue to thin out the Dwarves. But I would question the today's bandwagon choice of Ori. Why single out one of those who accompanied Balin on his noble, though ill-fated, Quest to reclaim Mordor? Moreover, as Glirdan points out, he was a contributor to the celebrated Book of Mazarbul. Unlike Glirdan, however,I see that as a point in his favour. As a talented writer he will no doubt publish a behind-the-scenes expose of all the goings-on on the island, which will most likely prove to be sensational - provided he stays in, that is.

So I would rather vote for his decidedly dull and stay-at-home brother who is contributing little either to the camp or in entertainment value. I mean, out of the two brothers, who would you rather see go? The adventurous one who bravely stood in vain defence of Moria and left us the account of its last days or the dull one who just stayed at home to enjoy the rewards of the Quest of Erebor (to which he contributed little) and the accompanying prestige?

So my vote goes to:

++ NORI

The Saucepan Man does have a point here. I forgot Ori was on the trip to Moria. And I was actually going to vote for Nori until the Ori bandwagon started rolling, so...

--Ori
++Nori

Stop voting. I will have the cast out post in a few minutes.
