Survivor: Surviving the Minor Works - Page 10 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Bêthberry · 05-10-2006, 07:58 PM

Hmm. We have two choices with collars, a dog and a parson. Perhaps I can add reasons a bit more flamboyant for defrocking the Parson. How does this sound: For the unconscionable faux pas of spilling beer and, even more, for being such a straight-faced parson in announcing the name of a sword that is almost as saturated with innuendo as Lord Halfulion's sword in REB.

++ The Parson

The 1,000 Reader · 05-10-2006, 08:30 PM

++Moon-dog.

In the movie Gidget, there was a character called Moon-doggy. I thought the movie stunk, so I'm getting back at it.

Diamond18 · 05-10-2006, 10:59 PM

Moon-dog: 5 votes

The Parson: 3 votes

Farmer Giles: 1 vote

Nell: 1 vote

And so, Moon-dog was sent to the moon. Naturally.

(Thus, the last Roverandom character was expelled from the game.)

Day the Thirtieth finds 14 contestants remaining:

A forgettable character from a forgettable minor work. He should not be anywhere near a finalist.

Isn't his only claim to fame being hit by a reckless driver?

I wonder. Bet he was walking in the street when he belonged on the sidewalk, a behavior that has been assigned to Mordor. Thus, he shouldn't even be here, but should instead be having a meeting with the Grand Anakronist. Let's send him where he belongs.

EDIT: This image shows the reason why Mr. Day should go.

I did a quick nose count statistic of the remaining characters. There are:

4 males
4 females
5 animals (1 dog, 1 dragon, 1 badger, 2 teddy bears)

I say that's one teddy bear too many, and as a teddy bear named Teddy could be considered archetypal, I vote to send off

++Bruno

Again, how many of you have actually read the Mr. Bliss story? And even if you have, do you remember which bear did what? Do you really want a supremely negligable and unimportant character like that to survive to the very end of the game?! Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.

Anguirel · 05-12-2006, 12:45 AM

Thankyou for the statistics Esty. Most interesting.

Fascinating that there are now as many women as men. How nice and equal and lovey dovey.

Has the feminist junta taken over your minds?

You've sent all the menfolk packing and not a single woman's been brought to book!

They're distracting you with petty Brunoesque bait while planning to take over the world and use the few men they spare for fertilisers in a twisted neo-Amazonian hegemony!

Stop the suffragettes before it's too late! Unite or die! Today is a test-do you have the willpower to get rid of an entirely unexeptional woman, or are you all in chains to feminine burblings?

(Naturally women may vote against this. But of course their votes don't count anyway...)

This will sound highly amusing to those with knowledge of my current career plans, but I'd like to plead guilty to being chained by those feminine burblings.

Can't vote for Bruno, though. That's too cool a name for a Teddy Bear. How about Teddy himself, then? That's short for Theodore Roosevelt, you know, and if it's acceptable here to go kicking off kings, let's make things equal and kick off a presidential stand-in.

Ye Olde Scorekeeper™ would like to point out that:

Mrs. Knight, Princess Pam, and Princess Mee were expelled. Of course, the princesses were not women in the strictest sense of the word (an elf and a mermaid) but close enough to count. Oh, and I'm slightly disappointed that you forgot Mrs. Knight, since I boiled her in a vat of bleach and all.

And Form, I thought you were going to take up being a puzzled baby?

I'm merely expressing the opinion of the viewing public. Have you seen the latest audience ratings? This show is bombing. People want conflicts between the big characters, not meaningless babble over a few obscure teddies.

And, Ang, if you're going to go for one of the womenkind, at least go for someone meaningful. Like ...

+ + Queen of Faerie

Away with her and her discraceful flirtations with daydreaming wanderers in her realm. Tsk tsk!

Anguirel · 05-12-2006, 07:02 AM

Nell is meaningful precisely because she is meaningless. I see you've never voted with me against her. I suspect you of sentimentality!

Help me get Nell out and I'll join you against the Queen of Faerie later.

Quite frankly, Ang, I don't see much point. The pro-Smith brigade is far too strong for me to have any reasonable expectation of evicting any Smith character on my own terms.

So all I can really do is continue to rail against them and generally make a nuisance of myself.

The Only Real Estel · 05-12-2006, 09:08 AM

Actually, Sauce, I think the game is doing rather well, especially for being minor works that people are certainly less familiar with than the characters in previous Survivors.

That said it would be too clichéd to have a Smith vs. Farmer Giles (I’m not writing out his ‘full’ name) final so I’ll vote for Smith if you’ll vote off long-name. The only catch would be that I want Giles gone first...

And if you really want to take on bigger characters then this would be a good way to do it.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-12-2006, 09:13 AM

Sorry. No can do, as there is no guarantee that Smith will follow. An additional vote for Smith will not be enough, whereas an additional vote for Giles will probably see him off.

C'mon. Smith is much more of a challenge. Don't you like challenges?

Or you could just vote for the Faerie Queen today as a token of good faith ...

The Only Real Estel · 05-12-2006, 09:38 AM

If Giles goes before Smith than voting for the Faerie Queen today is a possibility...

Anguirel · 05-12-2006, 10:06 AM

Ho-hum.

And yes, that spelling's deliberate and a rather nasty Middle English pun to back Sauce's rationale.

Same here. In fact, my ideal scenario involves a final round with Smith vs Giles. I'm sure everyone can guess what I want for the outcome.

Anguirel · 05-12-2006, 02:35 PM

Yeah, and the Faerie Queen is a frooping massive character.

Come on, everyone. A little variation. Women, do you possess the strength of character to evict a woman?
