Fra Lippo Lippi?

O Phantom! You try to suggest a partnership and then bash Treebeard immediately?

No deal!

Well, actually…however, I doubt if you would see the applicability (or humor) of that particular remark...a phantom probably wouldn’t either…

Alas, that was not the tale I meant.

...although, now that I think about it, the two notions I've had could be tied together.

I suppose I could help preserve Treebeard for a short time, but do you really want Treebeard to win this thing?

If so, then I guess there can be no deal. Too bad.

Hey, who said the partnership was with you?

Actually, I myself wouldn't mind being somewhat on your side, Eomer, but how can you support a scumbag like Treebeard?

As of right now these are the fast paced and ever changing stats:

Amandil: 3 votes

Elrond: 2 votes

Erendis: 2 votes

and 1 vote each for Celebrimbor, Fangorn, and Orophir.

Amandil leads? No, no. In defense of Amandil, he was the leader of the secret faction that opposed Ar-Pharazôn in its earliest stages. This was a great risk!

Also, it has been said that voting Amandil off gives him what he wants. But consider that it was a great risk to journey to Valinor, and indeed we don't even know what happened to him. He headed for Valinor to try and save mankind, not because he thought he'd be drinking martinis with Manwë, after all! And the thanks he got? He could be dead at the bottom of the ocean for all anyone knows. So saying that he would desire to leave the game is fairly ungrounded, he only left Númenór because he was desperate to save Númenór and was willing to die trying.

This game is not about saving men, ergo no reason for him to leave.

I don't want to see Elrond go, first of all he has a really cool name, and second of all he was one of the last great Elves to remain in Middle-earth, so I don't see him as much of a quitter. The tra la la's are pretty damning, I must admit, but for now at least I would rather see more of a sideline character go, such as:

A very fine defense of Amandil, Diamond.

Anguirel- please consider Erendis as your candidate.

++Erendis

I really don't know how this guy is. Maybe I'm Middle-Earth deficient. Either way, I like the other ones better than this.

She's probably the best choice of those that have votes. I mean, what did she do, besides get angsty and bitter in her later years?
