I kind of feel sorry for using up all my secondings. So many great characters nominated!
But on the other hand, the ones that I seconded were good ones as well.

If anyone seconds Nienor, it'll be perfect

My last seconding goes to Sador, which puts him in.

This is what we have now:
IN Túrin Haleth Andreth Lalaith Morwen Aerin Brandir Andróg Hurin Marach Gorlim Sador NOMINATED Hador (+1) Nienor (+1) Barahir (+1) Eilinel (+1) Beren (+1) Tuor Huor Emeldir Dorlas Hunthor Do you think we should try to make it 20 nominees, or stop at 15?

I'd say so too. That means 3 more characters. It's now up to those who have secondings left to decide on the last nominees.

Agreed with 15. I don't really like (and understand) the fact that Tuor has so little votes this far (or in fact, none), but I guess not every day's a holiday. I am wondering what to do with my last vote,
By the way: interesting observation of something unusual for Tolkien's writings (in general): we have quite a good ratio of women this far (almost 50:50), with the chance of still nominating a few (I am basically debating between voting Eilinel and Barahir, most of all).

Speaking of that, I really cannot decide between the two, Barahir and Eilinel. The more I think about it, the more often I switch opinions. But I think I will decide and cast my vote later today. Anyway, we need at least two other votes from somebody to conclude our 15.

So this (at times quite warped) game is back, eh?
Second Tuor (the crowd gasps in surprise) Second Beren Third Sador (Am I correct, the three seconds also include thirds?). If not, just let me know. If so, I think Sador is in. IN Túrin Haleth Andreth Lalaith Morwen Aerin Brandir Andróg Hurin Marach Hador Sador NOMINATED Nienor (+1) Barahir (+1) Gorlim (+1) Eilinel (+1) Tuor (+1) Huor Emeldir Beren (+1) Dorlas Hunthor

Tuor - Sador was already in. If we counted correctly, He already got 2 secondings (each nominee has to have 3 votes - 1 nomination and 2 secondings. I think that got you confused.) You still have 2 secondings left this way.

IN Túrin Haleth Andreth Lalaith Morwen Aerin Brandir Andróg Hurin Marach Gorlim Sador Beren Barahir Nienor NOMINATED Hador (+1) Eilinel (+1) Tuor (+1) Huor Emeldir Dorlas Hunthor That makes it exactly 15! And Urwen's wish is granted, all her family is in.

Good! Only a pity Tuor didn't make it in. But fair enough, in general. So now we can start?
Reposting the rules from earlier, just in case: Quote:

Seems G55 crossposted with Lommy, I have accounted for both of their votes, so this should be correct - now adding my vote: hurt Morwen, hurt Beren, heal Barahir.
