For being an anachronistic, talking statue of a cannibal. And to find out what Wayne will do if Galion stays.

Sorry. Not convinced.

This being the Barrow-Downs, everybody ought to want to get him off just for that reason. In fact, he ought to have been deleted out of the game by an all-powerful Admin for that very reason. Do we not have "don't feed the troll" notices up on this board?

Well, apart from the fact that Bert is a Stone Troll and not a Net Troll, Trolls on the Downs can sometimes be quite fun. They liven the place up, get everyone talking and (despite the warnings not to feed them) inevitably suffer some humorous baiting. Moreover, just as good requires evil to reveal it's true nature, Trolls on the Downs show us how not to behave and also make us feel better about ourselves since we can observe how good our behaviour is by comparison.

Bert and his companions fulfil much the same role on the Island.

[Disclaimer: This should not be taken as encouragement to feed the Net Trolls when they do turn up.]

Quote:

Who can explain the presence of that accent and a name like "Bert" within the Legendarium that is Middle-Earth.

Simple. It's a translation of his Trollish name. Which is Bertram. And, as we all know from the films, cockney was a dialect extensively spoken in Middle-earth by creatures of darkness ...

Quote:

A cannibal with an appetite for just about every type of creature remaining on the board: hobbits, dwarves, elves, men, mutton.

Shame on you! It's his natural diet. Do we persecute cats and dogs for eating bits of diced up lamb and rabbit? And, strictly speaking, it is not cannibalism, as he is of a different species.

And since when has anybody watching the Middle-earth Survivor franchise ever been squeamish about picking on Hobbits, Dwarves and Men? (Elves, other than Arwen and Legolas, appear for some inexplicable reason to represent a special exception.)

Quote:

Finally, I have to ask you why you even bother permitting a stone statue to take place in this game.

Actually, he has been managing so far to keep out of the sunlight, so he's solidified (and tanned) only moderately so far. Besides, should he be caught out in the sun, he will provide a rather decorative feature which will serve the dual purpose of providing an excellent blade-sharpener for machetes, fish-gutting knives etc.

Besides, Bill and Tom will pine for him if he is evicted.

Anguirel · 01-05-2006, 03:10 AM

Ah well. The Trolls have to be separated eventually. Better to minimise their grief by doing it now, not later-cruel to be kind...

--OLD TOOK, ++BERT

And Saucie-Elves an exception? What about the mass motiveless Elf-slaughter in LOTR Survivor?

That, of course, is the exception to the exception.

But you could prove me wrong by evicting some Elves in the coming days.

Let's start with ... oh let me see ... the drunken butler?

Anguirel · 01-05-2006, 09:31 AM

Ah. But I don't accept your original exception as an exception. In fact, I take exception to your exception.

In other words, vote Bert! Or better still the Old Took...

Glirdan · 01-05-2006, 09:37 AM

Ahhh!! How I remember the heartless Elf slaughter!!

So fun!!!I want to do it again!!! But there's not enough Elves to do that.

Oh well. I'll get the drunken butler out....eventually!!! (Uh oh, there goes the unbiastness

) Maybe I'll give up that vendetta..... Oh, and it wasn't motivless Ang. There was complete motive behind. Ask Folwren. It was for revenge. And we accomplished what we set out to do.

Evict the Old Took! The poor buffer hates every minute of his stay on the island; he was forced onto the show at the last minute by popular acclaim, but he'd far rather be tucked up at home in Tuckborough with a few crumpets.

Hey! Get with the program. Underhand deals and machiavellian changes of votes are part of the scenery on this show.

More votes for The Old Took, please. That way, both the drunken butler and the totally cool troll get to stay another day.

Consistency?

We are consistently doing our best to drive others nuts (that would be me), to further our petty feuds (Anguirel comes to mind...), and to see if Wayne will, in fact, go nuts.

No inconsistency there.

Oh....

You meant voting criteria!

The Old Took is an acceptable eviction candidate, to me. Anything to ensure Galion's survival- not that that won't possibly change tomorrow.

See what I mean. Just a few days ago, this gentleman was one of the die-hards for getting rid of the wasted pointy-ear...to the point of simply voting that way as a matter of course. Now he's swung wildly in the other direction.

This is the sort of unsteady characteristic that is potentially so destabilizing that only I am allowed to possess it.

Otherwise, there will be no relying on anyone.

Here's the cast out post!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 22 was a rather interesting day. Everyone kept changing their minds on who they wanted to vote for. In the end, they decided that to vote of Old Took would be the wisest choice. "He's far to old to be hear!" Belladonna cried. "He was dragged out of Tuckborough from his hearth, where he should be at this present moment, and put on this ridiculous, yet rather fun, show!" "And we must save our fellow troll!!!!" Tom and William cried. That night at voting council:

Smaug - 1
Galion - 4
Old Took - 6
Bert - 3

"Thank you all so kindly for letting me leave," Old Took said with great delight. "Now, I shall return to my home and relax in front of my hearth." And he did just that.

You are all very strange people (judging from your votes during this game) and I have come to the conclution that it would be a waste of time to build up a great argument for voting of Bert. Instead I will just do so.

++Bert

arcticstorm · 01-05-2006, 09:08 PM

you have seenmy arguements since almost day 1, you have also seent he arguements others have made to prove my point. What does galion do to help the tribe?? What has he ever done??? How does he improve ratings?? Drunken humor may be funny to a few people, but only for a while. And frankly, when Galion gets drunk, which is all the time, he just falls asleep. OOOH that really improves ratings!!! it is time we got him out of there
++Galion

Glirdan · 01-07-2006, 10:13 PM

After another exhausting day, the tribe has finally decided to get rid of Galion, the drunken idiot who keeps stealing the wine, lowering the shows ratings and does absolutely nothing around camp. "He's another useless bum in my services!" Thranduil shouted. "Begone with him!"

However, Galion was not going down alone. "There are far to many trols. I say we get rid of the one who starts at the top of the list." Belladonna suggested. That just happened to be Bert. "He keept eating the other contestants who were trying out for this show and now he's pigging out on our food!"

That night at voting council:

Galion - 6
Bert - 6
Elrond - 1

With that, Bert turned into stone as the sun shone on him and he became the islands statue which eventually turned into a fountain. In outrage and in vengeance of their fallen comrade, William and Tom ate Galion up. Al that was left was his bones.

How can this be, especially when such evils as those carrying red silk pocket handkerchiefs remain among us yet? And what is more, there is talk not of redress and penitance for wrongs done, but of the cruel sending forth of his brothers, Tom and William! Nay, I say to thee! It shall not be so! Not while Downers of courage, sense and fortitude remain yet among us!

I say we get rid of the one who starts at the top of the list." Belladonna suggested. That just happened to be Bert. "He keept eating the other contestants who were trying out for this show and now he's pigging out on our food!" That night at voting council: Galion - 6 Bert - 6 Elrond - 1 With that, Bert turned into stone as the sun shone on him and he became the islands statue which eventually turned into a fountain. In outrage and in vengeance of their fallen comrade, William and Tom ate Galion up. Al that was left was his bones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contestants voted out: Bofur Ori Durin (The first King Under the Mountain) Nori Fundin Gandalf Nain (father of Dain) Bungo Bagins Chief of Guards Thorin Bilbo Golfimbul Carc Gollum The Master Dwalin Bifur Great Goblin Bard Azog Oin Dain Necromancer Old Took Bert Galion (Elvenking's Butler) The remaining contestants: Dwarves/Bad Guys Balin Bombur Dori Fili Gloin Kili Thrain (father of Thorin) Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Bolg Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Men/Elves/Others Beorn Elrond Elvenking Girion Eagle Lord Roac Belladonna Took Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) FINALLY!! Ugh, I mean, ummmm..... start voting!!! __________________ *I'm going to buy you a kitty, I'm going to let you fall in love with the kitty, and one cold, winter night, I'm going to steal into your house and punch you in the face!* Fenris Wolf

He's got that...errr And he has this terrible...ummm When he sneezes he doesn't even...well... Oh bother! He's so dull I can't even think of anything to say about him. That puts the viewers to sleep and drives down ratings. The producers will thank us. __________________ ...finding a path that cannot be found, walking a road that cannot be seen, climbing a ladder that was never placed, or reading a paragraph that has no...

He HAS to go! __________________ *I'm going to buy you a kitty, I'm going to let you fall in love with the kitty, and one cold, winter night, I'm going to steal into your house and punch you in the face!* Fenris Wolf

How can one so lovable as Bert be so coldly thorwn into the hard, stony streets with so little remorse? How can this be, especially when such evils as those carrying red silk pocket handkerchiefs remain among us yet? And what is more, there is talk not of redress and penitance for wrongs done, but of the cruel sending forth of his brothers, Tom and William! Nay, I say to thee! It shall not be so! Not while Downers of courage, sense and fortitude remain yet among us! ++Elrond! A thousand times ++Elrond! __________________ I've got bridge club on Wednesday, Archery on Thursday, Dancing on a Friday night!
