Thanks for pointing that out Legate; though, Bill is still better than William.

Difficult choice, but Bill does
have more of a storyline then Bill
so

+ + Bill.....(Ferny)

Ferny was a slimy little punk who got pwnd by an apple.

William and company on the other hand ate half a village of people or so and sacked a dozen sturdy dwarves and would have succeeded in eating them if not for Gandalf.

Plus he initially suggested letting Bilbo go-

Quote:

"Poor little blighter," said William.

Isn't that interesting for a troll to show sympathy? And when one of the others suggested holding Bilbo's toes to the fire to make him talk, William wouldn't let him.

He's a unique chap.

phantom actually summed up all the important things about William, and that's exactly why I like him. However, I can't help my affection for traitors.

Say, it's just this Breelander, who'd sell anything to anybody... and he was dealing with the Black Riders! Now, William would have been really cool had he had a contact with the Black Riders... alas, he didn't.

Can't differentiate between the three trolls as my memory is faint, but they're all awesome.

Employing the Power of One Skip
decides this round for William.

William-4 Bill Ferny-3

Next, an interesting match:

Shagrat vs. Grima Wormtongue
