Of all possible characters we end up with Faramir winning?

OMG.

I mean nothing against him, a nice chap and all that stuff: well a good and stout fellow... erm... a warrior, yes, but looking at the starting line-up...

How is this possible?

For my meager part in the events, I can offer two explanations for the win:

1). I like sniping.

2). Faramir's hot.

Fate is cruel. Repeatedly I have been unavoidably absent at the final bitter moments of the struggle in Hurt and Heal, thus unable to aid my favourites. Bah.

What would be a next good topic? Elves only? Hobbits? Baddies? Second-age?

Fair enough. Any votes on which one to select? This would be open to all not just tummy.

And all-animals/sentient swords/other weird things, please?

For now, though, I'll put my vote towards hobbits. I am a shameless fan. *bows*

Hobbits? It might be fun to try to choose the one I dislike less...

What about Orcs:Shagrat, Gorbag, Grishnakh, Ugluk, Snaga etc...

Sounds really interesting, but you realize that Anglachel would win hands down. Would Beorn fall into this category?

Dwarves is something I'll be looking forward to, but to start things off, I'd choose Orcs.

That's an interesting category.

Btw, how would Tom Bombadil be classified?
And Melian (elf or maia)? She was there and back
again to Aman, but her "career" was basically
as an elf in Beleriand.

But hobbits or nassty orcsees would be fine next.

And at some time it might be interesting to have a
"Tournament of Champions" Edition.

A cool category would be the weapons and armor of the Dwarves vs. those of the Elves. The First Age old feud continued even in the Seventh Age.

I agree that it would be fun to have one with objects. Maybe one for just weapons and armor even?

Anguirel, Anglachel, Belthronding, Angrist, Herugrim, Morgul Blade, Glamdring, Orcrist, Sting, Ringil, Anduril, Narsil, Aeglos, Aranruth, Grond, Black Arrow, Red Arrow, Guthwine, Mithril Shirt, Dramborleg, Dragonhelm

And I agree that an orc game would be fun. But as a hobbit game was one of my suggestions and Mnem really wants to do it, I'd be fine with doing that first.
