Survivor : All Star

[Diamond18]

1. Smaug flies over a town, letting out an enormous blast of fire, setting ablaze a large portion of the place. The fire shines light on his jeweled belly, and an awesome opera theme plays. Bad***.

Until he gets skewered by an arrow and flops to the ground like a bowl of petunias.

2. Chrys...well, he doesn't really have anything for an intro. Lame. That, and this being the internet, he has a make-shift Kevin Bacon factor to Puff the Magic Dragon. It's like a fight between the Terminator and Pee-Wee Herman. Chrys is going down.

Ironic, considering in reality it was Smaug who went down and Chrys who stayed up.

The fight today isn't between Chrys and Smaug, however. It's between Chrys and Thorondor. Which is a shame, because the issue of either dragon vs. Thorondor is frankly a non-competition. Either one would just fry him mid air and be done with him. So why should he survive longer than either?

So what's the alternative - to rely on others' opinions? That would totally defeat the purpose of playing in the first place if I didn't go by my own opinions. Ignorance? Maybe. Apathy? No. I do care. And I don't want a character that I'd never heard of prior to this game to win - that is my conviction. Sorry. Maybe it is "my fault" that I've never heard of them, if fault it can be called. But it is what it is.

Well, you could try reading Farmer Giles of Ham. I mean, it's not unheard of for Tolkien fans to read Tolkien's minor works. I understand you feel a bit persecuted for your stance, but honestly, this is a Tolkien forum and when you loudly and proudly voice your ignorance of a Tolkien work, you're going to catch some flak for it from those who actually have read it.
