Anguirel, you try to be original and an individual so hard that you don't leave yourself much scope. If your vote depends on the amount of people who will get annoyed, it's hardly very independent.

Ouch! I was just asking her a question.

Your bright logics dazzle me, my good sir.

Isn't it obvious that if one doesn't want Khamûl to go, he or she votes for someone else. Usually the vote goes to a candidate who already has votes and thus makes the saving of, in this case, Khamûl possible.

It could have been Celeborn...

Well, unless you haven't noticed, that's scarcely a very tempting prospect to me either...

You lot can be sanctimonious about annoying people, because you're fighting the easy battle...

Well, Ang, if it'll make you happy I'll vote for Khamul and force a tie for now. Since neither is a character that I think deserves to win, I wouldn't be terribly disappointed to see them both gone.

But Kuru and Lalaith haven't voted yet, and we know who they will vote for, so I don't really see the point.

Unless you can talk a few others into it like Eomer and Gil, my vote for Khamul wouldn't matter in the least.

You do yourself an injustice, phantom! Everyone will surely flock to follow your vote! Please leap to my side.

Besides, though Lalaith won't break the Alliance, I think she might just abstain in this situation.

I assure you that the newly dubbed hobbit is beloved of your foes. Strike Khamul!

All right. Since I don't care too much, I suppose it would make sense for me to lend my vote to someone who does care.

To force a tie....
- - Ohtar
+ + Khamul

Eomer and Gil- it's a guarantee at this point that your candidates aren't going to be killed. If it's all the same to you, see if you can keep Khamul even with Celeborn if Celeborn pulls ahead, if for no other reason than Sauce so obviously wants Celeborn to get more votes than Khamul.

The Diamond-encrusted one speaks sense...and she has the good taste to cite a work of literature that I participated in.

Ang, have you ever read The Art of War? There are a few good points therein you could profit by...particularly at the end of the first chapter relating to estimates and calculations.

You smug Machiavelli/Sun Tzuist, spouting your strategems. I defy you and your cohorts. I trust in passion and taste. And the (admittedly suppressed at present) propensity of truehearted voters to support the underdog.
