Survivor: Surviving the Minor Works - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Actually Esty with Survivor you can pop in and out of the game as time and inclination permit... so if you ever have a hankerin' to toss in your two cents don't hesitiate.

How untoward! Championing the reign of the heir before the predecessor is dead and buried?

Do you honestly expect me to begin killing... er voting... off people here before Tar-Míriel... I mean, before I've officially counted the votes for my own game?

Pffffle!!!

++ Sunny Sam

What kind of a medieval name is that? I mean, "Sunny" sounds vaguely hippy, modernish... More the name of a cartoon character than a blacksmith.

And Sam Gamgee already has dibs on the name "Sam".

Those "hey dol merry dols" really begin to grate after a while. Rather like Elrond's "tra la la lallies".

Only Mr Bliss is entirely unknown to me; I've read Roverandom but completely forgotten the contents...

++PRINCESS PAM

Clearly a case of that villainous Tolkien fellow plagiarising Sony's Mariocart, just like the time when he infamously stole the plot of EA Games: Lord of the Rings, and the occasion when he imported the Whomping Willow from Harry Potter.

Honestly, the man should be arrested. Next he'll try ripping off Peter Jackson's Oscar winning masterpiece, The Return of King Kong or whatever.

Well, since I can do this without committing myself for the whole game, I will cast a vote for

++The Mewlips

just because they creep me out - and because their poem aggravates me, as it has no direct quotes that I can use for the "minor works" quotes and Palantír threads!

Maybe I need to quote a few lines from the poem to prove my point:

Quote:

The shadows where the Mewlips dwell
Are dark and wet as ink...

You sink into the slime, who dare
To knock upon their door...

You go to find the Mewlips - and the Mewlips feed.

Who wants to have creatures like that around?! When they say they want to have you over for dinner, the invitation could be the last one you accept!

I need to get around to reading Roverandom, so um, raincheck on this game for a little bit....

++Everyone other than Tom Bombadil.

Who the heck are they?

Tom saved the hobbits twice. That's worth some merit.

++The Giant from the Wild Hills

HE boasts about his exploits to the unknown lands but was driven off by a stout little farmer and his talking dog!!! And in order to save face, he claims that the farmer's blunderbuss was a large number of mosquitos!! He is a fool, he should go

Perhaps I should have mentioned this before, but, you can only vote for one character at a time. Everyone other than Tom is 51 contestants.
