Today is a dark day, my friends. Today we mourn for the loss of one who was a hero and a captain to all the Fair Folk.
I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil. Yet mighty was the lord, meet was his passing. He waits across the sea. And he knows we shall rise and avenge him. For Celeborn, Lord of the Galadrim, went not idly. Around him as he leant upon his notched blade lay the bodies of dozens of foes; great Lords of Men; Wizards of mickle power and craft; enigmas and halflings. And even the great Orc that undid him fell to his riposte. Aye, Celeborn made his mark and defended his honour; no little leech he; no vanity-puffed Silvertop. Brave were his blows and sagacious his counsel. He leaves behind him an alliance of united friends; his foes are bitter and divided, squabbling over petty kingships. Namarie Celeborn, Lord of Lorinand! We will remember you with each stroke of our vote. Namarie Celeborn of the Trees! Heirs of Celeborn, well-garbed in robes Alabaster of feature, swift-running fell archers Together we'll harry the burners of leaves With our arrows, our spears, and our well-formed speeches. And thus I entreat you to fall on the yrch And to massacre ++Ugluk, a girthed piece of brawn A swiller of filthmead and spoiler of lands In him let us plant our bright angry steel.

He locked up the Dwarves and let Gollum escape, not that that isn't a good thing as we saw in the end. But as said before, this is LOTR Survivor, not Hobbit Survivor, and the only important thing he did was be the father of Legolas, and that's not exactly something to be proud of.

One big mood swing!? She is one of the heroes of the War of the Ring. She goes off to battle disguised as a man and you call it a mood swing? She kills the Witch-King and you call it a mood swing? The only mood swing of hers I know of is her switch from loving Aragorn to loving Faramir. She is now the hardest working member of the Men-and-Rohan-Lady Tribe, and they would be lost without her.

++Gollum
Now, how this little bugger made it this far is beyond me. He's a traitorous, mean thing. Not to mention he's (books) naked. COME ON! He's been around for 500 years or so, there's no way his clothes lasted that long, even as rags. Aside from the nakedness, he annoys the heck out of all the other contestants. They have enough problems as it is, without him going on about "his precious" and fish. And the arguments he has with himself is just plain creepy... |

Well, I'm back!
I'm glad to see that the Elven tribe has been thinned out in my absence. But there are still far too many of the self-centered, pointy-eared xenophobes running around on the island for my liking. So I will go with the popular choice today:
++ THRANDUIL His exclusive parties are still causing a problem for morale. If you ask me, he is at the centre of this Elf-superiority thing which has been so divisive on the island. Without him, perhaps the remaining Elves will integrate better (and therefore give us less reason to be rid of them).

  Like Hairdressers in Big Brother, the Elves seem to think that they have an Eru-given right to be on the island, so they need a reality check every so often. I don't want to get rid of all the Elves. I just want to make sure that things are kept even. Unlike the self-styled "Elf Alliance", which wants to purify the island of all but Elves ... Once the Elvish numbers are checked, I am quite happy to move on to the next strongest tribe. The arguments against Eowyn are persuasive, but I really dislike the "goody-two-shoes" types, so Faramir looks a safe bet for my next vote.

Yes, Faramir is also on my "to do" list.
However, be warned that any attempt to evict Eowyn from this island will bring upon you a fell wrath that will make Anguirel's fury over Celeborn look like a toddler's tiff. Ditto Lobelia or Galadriel. I shall defend the triple aspect of femininity - Maiden, Mother and Crone - to the death. But for now, I will happily see the amphibious back of ++GOLLUM

Whoever said he was an asset, what planet are you living on? I know, I know, you said more of one than Gollum - sorry, more important than the creature that rid Middle Earth of the Ring? Sure! The guy did nothing more than spawn (love that phrase) Legolas! Please don't let him create the like again! And he doesn't seem like a great father for all that either, I mean think about it, the others get introduced like so: Aragorn son of Arathorn Gimli son of Gloin Then Leggy - Legolas of the woodland realm - no mention of a father.

Doing what I do best...
...disseminating a wee bit of propaganda. Those of you who plan to vote or have voted for Thranduil, take a minute to peruse this well-written and readable essay-
http://henneth-annun.net/stories/cha...56&SPOrdinal=1 By voting for Thranduil, you are following a stereotype trod by thousands of Legolas fangirls, demonising the "evil father"; and neglecting the evidence in the Hobbit and the LOTR appendices, which definitely settles on Thranduil being a good, even great king. Remember also that he was the last Elvenking on Middle-earth; truly the last whose realm was free, if not "fair and free", of ancient Sindarin race and great practical abilities. You are also rejecting the closest Tolkien's Elves come to a truly beautiful and chilling piece of our folklore; the fay wood-dwellers, the Hunters of the forests, in a word, the elfin-court, as celebrated in its marvellous, terrifying brilliance in ballads like Tam Lin: "I used to go out hunting But I fell from my horse one day. The Queen of Fairies captured me And in their land I must stay. "The faerie land is a pleasant place But there's a darker side as well. At the end of every seven years They make a sacrifice to hell. Later on: The faerie horses came riding by In the middle of the night And some were black and some were brown But Tam Lin's was milk-white. She pulled him down from off his horse With her arms around his shape. The faerie court gave an angry yell "Tam Lin is trying to escape!" And: At last he was himself again So she wrapped him in her cloak. She was rejoicing in her victory When the Queen of Faeries spoke. "If I had know, Tam Lin," she says "that you were up to no good I'd have taken out your green eyes and put in eyes of wood." "If I had known, Tam Lin," she says "you would have always been alone! For I'd have taken out your mortal heart And put in a heart of stone." Incredible, heartrending, poetic tradition; represented by Thranduil the Elvenking. I entreat you all, if you are swayed, change your votes to Gollum.

Furthermore, as the evidence of Tolkien's work will show, Thranduil has clearly been spreading anti-Dwarven xenophobia. The Elves and the Dwarves are both small, non-human tribes as of now, and really ought to be working together against that insidious menace which is everyone else... Quote:
Allow me to remind me you of the true meanings of "chilling", "fay", and "terrifying". Basically, you are saying that you want to save a cold, crazy, and scary Elflord? At least Gollum's down-to-earth...

If you insist on cheapening this, then I would argue that a "cold, scary, crazy Elf-Lord" "makes better TV" than some inarticulate product of the grimy Hobbit underclass.
Besides, with poor Celeborn gone, there's every chance of illicit romance with Galadriel...what gets better viewing than that?

WOW!!! People are really starting to get on each others last nerves!! I think we should have a BD Survivor!! Oh!! Right. We have that already..... I never knew that what me and Folwren started would bring this much fun and rivlary and so much competitiveness!!! Awsome!!!
What has Eowyn done? She never did any harm! She helped us be rid of that stupid evil Witch-King!! Now if that isn't an accomplishment in life, than I don't know what is.

I don't know where Boromir is, but you all may be interested in knowing that the voting is over for today, and the one who say goodbye is...Thranduil. Wow. Didn't expect that. It was a vote of seven to nine. Gollum was almost as bad as an orc...I would have been alright with that.
Farewell, Thranduil.  I'll leave the rest to Boromir to fix up. -- Folwren
