I think I'll join morm on the Elf slaugher...for now. Besides, why do we want a winner who was won to win again??
Back to back would be a serious accomplishment...if it is achieved. But, I would encourage for TV rating purposes to hold out on Maglor, all the viewers will be caught up in 'Can it be a repeat performance' hype, and 'How long of a run can Maglor make it...' You want to get rid of an Elf, join me in kicking out Celebrimbor...the guy made some cheap rings to his own profit.

Boromir, I see your point. I'm ready to switch to your campaign if the situation looks bad for Maglor. He's a brother of my favourite, after all. (Though Celebrimbor is my favourite's nephew... Darn.)

What about Ori? He's useless and doesn't have a personality either. Besides, his name means "stallion" in Finnish. Get rid of this dwarf-horse, I say!

I'll go for Ori, I want interesting match ups, feuds, and storylines...Ori just stands there and is non existant anyway. Plus, he doesn't adds no interest to the series at all

Lommy is making a lot of sense here!

Why to carry a minuscule stallion dragging us down here? The lack of personality or any specialness is a reason for lynching that beats just someone being a teflon-faced pop-star...

What exactly does Maglor do except walk around singing and acting all sad and tragic?

Why do I vote Ori? Well, I agree with the things Lommy has to say, he reminds me of Stargate and I realy want to upset Mormegil. . .

Past greviances coming to the front eh?

I seem to make more enemies than friends in these.

No it creates a very boring character.

Are you saying that Maglor is more boring character than Ori? The nobody stallion-dwarf? (And his brother's not lovely, btw...)

And tell me what Ori does with goblins!

And if you're interested in a pacifist campaign, morm, I could support it - but we just have to start with Ori, not Maglor!

Makes him a far more interesting person than Ori.

Don't get caught up in alliances/grudges, like me, being random seems the best route.

Just for a little poll, who's everyone's favorite to win? I mean me personally a Manwe Sauron finale would be absolutely killer, the battle of ultimate good vs. ultimate evil and who will win can't get any more exciting than that.

How can you even consider eliminating Maglor?!


Having said that, I'm very fine with the ending of the existance of Ori. What did he do on Bilbo's companionship anyway.
