++ Smith of Wootton Major

The one whom I owe allegence to has called me....oathkeeper, I am!

I think Tolkien might have been bored when he was righting this one, and ripped off The Adventure of Link, Halo (Master Cook!?) and Feast of Good Children is definetly straight from Santa Claus' early ideas and experiments. Let's git rid of the (as we say in the 'Souf',) "bo-bo brand.

++ Smith

Mainly to prevent a Smith/Giles showdown because that would be a horrible groaner.

And should Smith go I, at the very least, will have SpM's vote against Long-Name tomorrow...

A dog on a medieval farm is certain not to have all of the proper shots. God knows what horrible diseases the animal carries. I wouldn't be surprised if half the contestants have rabies by now.

It was a banger of a day -- reinforcements were summoned on both sides, and the mod actually had to write the votes down instead of counting them on her fingers. Like, work.

Smith of Wootton Major: 9 votes

Gram: 8 votes

Queen of Faerie: 1 vote

And so, as Sauce gave a delirious whoop for joy, Smith was trussed up like a chicken and given a sound drubbing with saucepans, frying pans, soup pans, and those fun leather whips with the ball bearings and sharp tacks woven in. He fell to the ground, whimpering, "I just wanted to eat cake," before he bled out his life upon the Watchers Rock. His heart was removed and used for some vile purpose that involved hula dancing and ritual cannibalism.

Ang leered nastily at the weeping widow, Nell, and Smith's supporters gnashed their teeth, vowing revenge.

Day the Thirty-Fifth finds 8 contestants remaining:

Those Who Belong to Faerie

Goldberry
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Queen of Faerie
Chrysophylax Dives

Those Who Don't

Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)
Gram, his dog
The Parson
Nell

Gram?

Fie on you, Anguirel, to abandon so soon your standings of old.

I who played Kingmaker yesterday shall try my hand at it again. To the vote of Nell, I summon thee!

++ Nell

If nothing else, watching the broken remnants of the Pro-Smith party make a ruckus of defending his widow should be interesting.

tom bombariffic · 05-17-2006, 03:29 AM

you won't make me give up that easily.

++ QUEEN OF FAERIE

Right, you can all see that I personally don't like her. But think about it! She's manipulating, a temptress, practically a kidnapper. A very bad influence.

There's a word for people like that. Jailbait.

Do the right thing.

Indeed. You will pay.

Let's whip the boy, the usurper, the liar and thief. Not to mention his smarts was in his gut, seat, and hand instead of his head.

Anguirel · 05-17-2006, 09:14 AM

Unlike some, I do not jealously cling onto hegemony and success, attempting a monopoly of my candidates.

Lady Celuien, you have my full support. However, I would appreciate a movement against the turbulent priest tomorrow.

What, you vote for my death, then ask for my support? I find that a difficult option to accept. Very difficult.

I'm afraid I won't be able to join you tomorrow unless I am forced to out of necessity.

I'm not telling what that situation would comprise that necessity.

Will anyone ever understand what Ang is trying to achieve?

I know exactly why Ang won't vote for Nell anymore... and it makes me giggle. The boy is so easy to mess with.

Anguirel · 05-17-2006, 09:34 AM

Let's wait for things to progress to see who's been messed with, alright, almighty Moddess?
