Skip Spence is quite correct. I missed his
vote because it was at the end of his post
(not seperate before or after the body of the post).
That means that my posted results were incorrect,
since Morgoth wins on a tiebreaker.

Results shoul;d have been
Morgoth
-5 Grima Wormtongue-5 .

So corrected final four are:
Carcharoth vs. Smaug
Glaurung vs. Morgoth


Sorry, everyone. especially Grima fans
like Legate for the error.

Gosh. In that case, Morgoth is already dead.

Bwahaha *evil laugh*

This is just the kind of victory old Morgy will relish.

But Grķma almost won in such an admirably traitor-ish way.

Grima earned his victory just looking at the way it did almost happen... it's his character that won! Now this is ME Bad Popularity Cup! Do you really think something as fair as "rules" should apply here? I'm very disappointed with the final decision and hope the evil powers will twist the ending for real (like the Downs getting down just as a less known baddie is in the lead and then we can protest if someonwe wants the obvious and foreseen winner to have more time to be voted for or something).

So Morgoth seems to win... how lame indeed.

I thought people would have had some sense of sportsmanship here.

Okay. I need to wait to see which one could beat Morgoth in the final! Speak up people! Let's form a conspiracy against Morgoth and gather our banners behind the one we would be happier to see meeting Morgoth; forgetting our differences between the great werewolf and the keeper of the lonely mountain! Our enenmies just love to see us split in our ranks.

I'd go for Carcaroth but I'll be ready to vote for Smaug if it would get the better hand in the final...

And for sure I will vote for Glaurung in the next semifinal...

Very well done, Nogrod! I suggest we forge several Rings and make all the voters wear it, while we are going to secretly forge one more to rule them all. (And I will of course forge another for myself to rule that one.)

I think Smaug, if anybody, deserves victory over Morgoth and he is far likely to gather support than the wolf, I'd presume. To vote Glaurung is without question, even though I might like Melkor more in some ways, but he just does not deserve to win. That'd be truly too dull outcome of all this voting.

Exactly!

It's time for meta-reasoning up here! So take your time.

I'm ready to vote for Smaug if it's the one you would think that would be able to challenge Melkor. And let's join forces to beat Morgoth on the next round already. That would be our safest option...

And Legate & the subject of the rings... you just try your magic but don't be too confident with it... there may be forces stronger than that - and we need to count that in as well! Jut look what happened to Sauron with his obsession with Rings...

It's a shame Sharky isn't here...

Because I don't want the final to be between two dragons - boring.

Welcome to the world of politics.

Actually, my "favorite" baddie wasn't even in the running to begin with. Where was Gollum?

Exactly...

But happily this doesn't affect our daily income, prospects or general possibilities as politics do.
