Gimli has committed and offense so agregious that it really should be punished by death, the least we can do is evict him. What did he do you ask? Why he befriended and Elf and there is no greater crime in all of dwarven society than that.

In Dwarvin society yes. Therefore, I encourage all dwarves to take up your cause.

As it is, it looks like your trying to punish Gimli for trying to redress years of strife between the two races, a noble enough effort. Or in other words: You're promoting racism, morm. O_O

Now of course Gimli isn't perfect & there are probably many reasons why he should be voted off but surely not this one!

Therefore, since I'm with Menel more or less in his reasoning of evening up the scores:

++ Gloin

Being the son of Groin (inventor of the mithril cup) is a tough act to follow, but he's less deserving of a spot on the island than Gimli is.

++Gloin

He's boring, has no character really (except for starting fires, which, may I add, he and his brother failed miserably at!) and is far worse than Gimli.

Not really. And even if she is, she is completely useless. If she'd had any spunk she'd have murdered her husband. As it is, she is a threat to the harmony of the thread because she's so open to subversion.

Best be rid of her.

This is All Star, not All Dwarf.

Let us get rid of Gloin then, though I would have liked to go for Gimli a little more.

Three dwarves at this stage of the game I would call a slight overepresentation...

So:

++ Gloin

As he seems to be the one we may have chances to evict from the island today.
