Eh, Nogrod is just a bit upset that Gandalf is gone and a couple minor works characters are still around.

That said, now that Gandalf is gone (hurrah!) and I need a new person to vote for, I think I'll help out Firefoot's long suffering campaign against

+ + Goldberry

If we're getting on women for being subjugated by their husbands, I think we'd do better to look elsewhere than Tar Miriel. At least she had the decency to be miserable. Goldberry was kidnapped and turned into a domestic slave and enjoyed it.

EDIT... Er, Firefoot, this is rather awkward.

Well, I still stand on principle and think G is a worse offened than T-M in the wimpy wife department.

++ Celebrian

How about a three way tie and just get all the wimpy women off at once?

++Tar-Mirel.

Like I said in Second Age Survivor, Tar-Mirel is completely useless and accomplished nothing at all. If you removed her from the story, you'd have no real changes. The only reason the Prof. even made her was just to fill up space to give a final push to the ignorant that Ar-Pharazon was evil. Like any good author, Tolkien decided to mention the death of a named character, and nothing more. Seriously, at least Goldberry had powers. Hama was a faithful brave warrior.

Well, with the voting as it is right now:

Gloin - 6
T-M - 6
Goldberry - 1
Celebrian - 1

This seems unlikely.

Eh, so, in order to actually matter today it seems one must vote for either Gloin or Tar-Miriel.

- - Goldberry

+ + Tar-Miriel

The more dwarves the merrier.

Plus if Gloin had been married to Ar-Pharazon I'm sure Numenor would never have sunk.

Bêthberry · 08-26-2006, 07:31 AM

Just for fun, let's make it a two-for-one.

+ + Gloin

Although really I don't understand why you people want Hama around.

Because he's sympathic.

++Tar-Miriel

Gloin is, after all, one of my favourite dwarves.

Estelyn Telcontar · 08-26-2006, 08:03 AM

As I see it, there are still a couple of Dwarves around, more than some other races. Therefore, in the interest of equal rights

++Gloin

wilwarin538 · 08-26-2006, 09:06 AM

Vptes so far:

Gloin - 8
Tar-Miriel - 8
Celebrian - 1
