Ok, it's been 4 hours now and Boro still isn't back. I'm finding this rather disturbing. But I will not continue until he returns. Anybody else sharing my thoughts?

I didn't say I was going to be out last night? Hmm, thought I did, but looking through now I guess I didn't. I seriously think I'm losing my mind.
What we'll do is at 5:30 today I'll start the next day of voting. Sorry, about that I could have sworn I asked for Glirdan or someone to cover because I was going to be out all night. Though it appears I am losing it. So, votings closed (though I will take all votes up to this point) and at 5:30 (EST) we'll start the next day. Looks like Thranduil will go bye-bye.

I would've thought you'd prefer Ent-draught, Perky.
 Though maybe Pip's been drinking that, too?For myself, I believe it is time for ++Treebeard to go. His slow-ness is seriously starting to get on my nerves... how has he lasted so long, anyway? |

I'm going to tag along with Firefoot here and say...
++Treebeard He just sits there and meditates in the woods all day and seems strained from the rest of the tribe.

I am sticking to my strategy of voting for the strongest tribe, in an effort to keep things even. So one from the Men tribe has to go.
Faramir seems to have taken it hard since Denethor was voted off. He just mopes around camp bewailing the fact that he was not able to save his father. Besides, if any of the tasks involve picking up hoops of gold from the road, he will be next to useless. And he's a goody-two-shoes. It's time for him to go. ++ FARAMIR

The culling of Elves has gone on far too long. We need a Dwarf gone. Down with the ridiculous snobberies of the ludicrous and decrepit Gloin!

I think it's high time we get rid of Cirdan. I mean the old elf is truly useless. He never actually accomplished much during his thousands of years on Middle-earth. What? He built the Havens? No big deal I think pretty much anybody could have done that given the amount of time he had. Another thing about him, for his tribe he does little, just as in life. He sits around waiting for others to do things, only to give too little aid too late. He's always begging for help from men etc...
I say the old elf needs to retire ++Cirdan

I will defend Cirdan to the hilt. Besides, you are an oath-breaker now. Your faction declared Thranduil would be enough to sate their lust for blood.
As for your inane question, "what did Cirdan actually do?" it is akin to the question "what use are the Classics?"-spawn of a slacking intellect. I shall answer- -Saved and fostered Gil-galad Ereinion, by whose hand Sauron eventually fell -Acted as ruler of Harlindon under the High King and paticipated in the defence of Eriador against Sauron's armies -Advised the destruction of the Ring -Acted as bearer of the Elven ring Narya and-more vitally-guessed correctly which of the Istari would be best-suited to carry it in the struggle ahead -Lent support to the beleaguered line of Arnor and the chieftains of Arthedain, assailed by Angmar -Was on the White Council -Harboured one of the Palantiri, and unlike all the other guardians never used it and got ensnared by it -Probably helped overthrow the Necromancer -Maintained the way to Valinor, ensuring peace and healing for many Elves and eventually for the Ringbearers -Found time to grow a stylish beard Lay off Cirdan, or your favourite characters will drop like flies again...

I can see clearly now that Saruman's gone...
Whatever could have possessed me to vote for Cirdan before? It must have been the influence of that troublesome duo of Sauron and Saruman. But now that they are gone, I see the error of my ways and will join Cirdan's defenders.
But who to vote for today, strategically speaking? I too would like to see the insufferable Gloin sent packing. However, there are now three votes for Treebeard and three for Faramir. A vote for one of them seems more likely to help Cirdan, so I don't think I can vote for Gloin...yet. I rather like Faramir. Besides, we can't get rid of him while Eowyn is still around. There's too much of a romance subplot going on between those two. And I have to go on a trip today, so I won't be back in time to employ the retractable vote. So I will have to cast my ballot for ++TREEBEARD. If we get him started on his preparations to return to Fangorn now, there's a chance that he'll be ready to go by the time the game is over.

Today I think my vote will go to
++HAMA His group is still pretty large and compared to the others he didn't exactly do much. Unlike today's seemingly preferred Treebeard, who destroyed Isengard and kept Saruman out of the final battle, as well as being a pretty likeable person in my books. So he's a bit slow, he gets there eventually. And Pippin too. Leave the poor little thing alone! He found the palantir, and his looking in it helped the wise ones to make their decisions over what to do. Without him doing that Gandalf would have gone back to Edoras and might not have got to Minas Tirith in time. And he finds Merry and saves him.

No, no! Don't killed Hama! And don't kill Faramir, either!! Treebeard is a far better candidate to go!
Why go for Hama? He's so loyal, in the books...and even when he's being loyal and his master is half mad, he uses his head. He didn't like Grima Wormtongue and always doubted him. It's not like he fell under the lies or anything. And then at the gate at Helm's Deep where they killed him...and honorable death. Will you give harrah to the nasty orcs who killed him and hued his body where it lay? Leave Hama alone! And as for your defence of Peregrin. *chuckle* The Palantir is one of the craziest, dumbest things he could have gone. He got off scot free, too, which is possitively astonishing. Gandalf only grumps a little bit and everybody pounces on him for being mean to poor Pippin, where as that young fool of a Took gets everybody's pity when really he deserves loads more than Gandalf would ever give him. Pippin's stupidity is a poor substitue for Hama's bravery and loyalty. -- Folwren

On second thought
--Hama ++Cirdan
Let's get rid of the shipwright. All he does is sit there and build boats. The only thing that has been good for was to get himself and others off the island. I say "Down with the Shipwright!!! Up with Treebeard!!!"

And Treebeard will be made into novelty pencils. --GLOIN, ++TREEBEARD

Cirdan is old and wants to go home. Peregrin is still young and adventurous. It'd be a crime to send him back so soon. This sort of stuff fits him like a glove. -- Folwren

Cirdan- 7
Treebeard- 5 Faramir- 5 Pippin- 2 Gollum- 1 Cirdan says bye-bye, it's not too bad, he already have a boat ready for his departure...It's like he yearned to leave. Hobbits Gollum Lobelia Sackville-Baggins Merry Pippin Men and Rohan Lady Boromir Eomer Eowyn Faramir Hama Wizards Alatar Pallando Dwarves Gimli Gloin Elves Elrond Galadriel Glorfindel Others Quickbeam Treebeard Badguys Grishnakh Ugluk I like Sauce's strategy in weakening the strongest group. So, I'm going to go for ++Faramir After all he was a friend of Gandalf's. I would have gone for Hama, but he had the guts to stand up against Aragorn and was able to think for himself. Faramir was just seeking his dad's approval the whole time, and sucked up to Gandalf.
