I may have hinted at my reasoning, even though what was posted was more light. This comes back to campaign against charactar or campaign for vendetta. The literary character of Elrond Half-Elven has not generated any broad and lasting support throughout these 'sessions of persausion.' If there is not a popularity to defend him, I have the justification to make effort for his removal.

Huh. I think I may have unknowningly compelled myself into the DOOM Factor.

=KuruVery. We're annoying already.

Quote:

=KuruThe game is about vendettas, not characters.

Quote:

=Kuru Ooo...get to annoy Anguirel and the phantom

I would say a delicate balence, because Phantom was right about 'Joe' and 'Bob,' but then certain character would be off automatically.

I guess I should present myself to SpM in chains now...

Well, since this is now indisputably war, let's have a look at the statistics.

Those treacherously removed by the insidious Alliance of Ultra-Doom

Ar-Pharazon
Tar-Aldarion
Amdir

Those cunningly driven out by the Heroic Resistance of Individual Freethinkers

Thorondor
Durin III
Herumor

Everything lies in the balance still. The fate of Arda Envinyata could go either way...

Let's finish the good we began, albeit half-heartedly, yesterday.

Fuinur is an anagram of RUIN UF (short, I presume, for UFO). So to add to his numerous other crimes, we now know that Fuinur spent his time vandalising the spacecrafts of respectable aliens!

Take him dooown...Heroic Resistance...with me!

So, if I understand you correctly, Elu, you are voting for Elrond because in past games he hasn't been popular.

I suppose that is a reason, but it's not what you would call a solid reason.

Reason should matter in this game, wouldn't you agree? If someone has given good solid reasons not to vote for a certain character you should not vote for them unless you have some good solid reasons of your own to combat the defender.

Your reason "I voted for Elrond because he wasn't popular in the last game" is not a solid reason compared to my text-based defense of Elrond, therefore I don't see how can you justify voting for Elrond. A decision like that adds nothing but randomness to the game.

When anyone, without much of a reason, votes for someone who has been very well defended with Tolkien quotes, he is basically saying "I ignore people's arguments." And if you ask me, that sort of thinking makes this entire game pointless. This game should be about arguing, debating, and convincing, not about voting for a character on a whim and refusing to change it despite good arguments from others.
