Not quite yet, Sally. And possibly never in this kind of a game... possibly...

The reverse thing starts to bite when the number of players lessen in numbers (like in werewolf or that *what was it where we voted one person out every round -game?*). But this is different as there will always be 10+ choices. Maybe...

Maybe Orome actually rode around the woods giving hugs to cuddly furry animals.

I can't believe you think I have a strategy for Taters to Taters. I think I'm being rather honest, as evidenced by the round in which I had no entry whatsoever.

"Rather honest"?

the phantom · 08-24-2012, 05:29 PM

Sorry- I should've said I'm "insanely honest" I guess...

Of course you are, O One Who Doth Outhine The Sun.

Boromir88 · 08-25-2012, 10:07 AM

MCR get your Round 5 winner in as soon as you can, thanks. As it is though, we'll just proceed...

Tally

the phantom - 2 (Honest, Insane)
Kitanna - 1 (Deadly)
Gwath - 1 (Neglected)
Menel - 1 (Cuddly)

----

ROUND 6

the phantom pick the most extraordinary from this list.

Gondolin
The Void
Lembas
Music of the Ainur
Isildur
Girdle of Melian
Arwen
The Green Dragon
Mithril
Thuringwethil

----

ROUND 7

Green tater: Violent (furious, vicious, destructive)
Judge: Lottie

(And is it just me or could many of the cuddly options also pass for violent? I suppose those two things aren't mutually exclusive)

satansaloser2005 · 08-26-2012, 07:04 AM

Our lovely Boro will not have internet access today, so there will be no new round until tomorrow. Phantom can still pick a winner, of course (and by pick a winner I mean pick my card).

the phantom · 08-26-2012, 08:15 AM

Well then- more time for people to weigh the final four options.

MCRmyGirl4eva · 08-25-2012, 10:53 AM

Alqualonde
Mumakil
The Wacher in the Water
Gimli
Smaug
Orome
Goblin-town
Morgoth
Fellbeast
The One Ring
Celeborn

Out of all of these, there aren't any that I would consider cuddly. So, I shall judge according to the funniest. And the winner is *drumroll*:

MORGORTH!

Merci. And the holder of Morgoth was...

Menel

(I first saw the PM at night...laughed so hard it drew shifty eyes looks from others. And opened up the PM again in the morning, just to laugh again. A cuddly Morgoth.

the phantom · 08-25-2012, 11:22 AM

See? MCR was perfectly safe choosing one of those I had set apart.

And apparently it's my turn now...

EXTRAORDINARY

Gondolin- pretty awesome city
The Void- one-of-a-kind and unfathomable
Lembas- weight loss would be no problem
Music of the Ainur- created the world, and would've sounded spectacular
Isildur- not your ordinary King
Girdle of Melian- a magical web of trickery would be very cool
Arwen- I'd love to see Luthien 2.0
The Green Dragon- where funny folks say funny things
Mithril- adamantium's cousin
Thuringwethil- vampires in Middle-Earth

So, should I stay quiet and let everyone fight and promote, or should I say which cards have tickled my fancy and then let people fight and promote?

Lhunardawen · 08-25-2012, 11:35 AM

Haha Boro, should you get a prize for half-guessing the winner?

I'm not sure how to spin this one at all. Possibly someone just getting rid of a card to get a new one.

You had me pinned.

Nogrod · 08-25-2012, 12:24 PM

Existence or non-existence, thats the problem. A void is a mystery, but being maybe more so: why is there something rather than nothing?

the phantom · 08-25-2012, 01:39 PM

Okay, let's go ahead and narrow things and see who cares to have a say.

NO

Gondolin- A super city, but not what I'm looking for.
Lembas- A cool food, but not what I'm looking for.
Isildur- An important fellow, but not what I'm looking for.
The Green Dragon- A nice gathering place, but not what I'm looking for.
Girdle of Melian- A handy defense, but not what I'm looking for.
Arwen- A great lady, but not Kate Beckin- I mean not what I'm looking for.

CONTENDERS

The Void- Certainly one-of-a-kind, and beyond the norm.
Mithril- I so wish Mithril weapons were real, and that I had one.
Thuringwethil- What would Twilight be if Tolkien had written it?
Music of the Ainur- For a music lover, hearing this would be the ultimate dream.

Ew. Don't besmirch the name of Tolkien like that.

Oh ye of little faith.

But in the meantime, it seems that no one is interested in swaying me towards one answer or the other. How disappointing...
