Survivor: The Second Age
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Arda Envinyanta- Arda Healed, where we all live in peace and happiness under Eru. In his benevolence, King Manwë has granted us permission to host a show for your amusement known as "Survivor". We are pleased to have enlisted some of the great and famous names of the Second Age to participate in our game. The contestants are:
Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Amdír Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Tar-Aldarion Erendis Ar-Pharazôn Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Durin III Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Thorondor Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Herumor Fuinur Interviewing of the contestants prior to the game reveals extreme confidence from Annatar about winning: "After three previous rounds, I think my chances of winning at next to none. After all, I've got the most experience. And I'm the prettiest." Fellow three-tries-at-it-already contestant, Elrond Peradan, was less optimistic: "I'm always voted out." Although the contest contains several old fan-favourites, viewers were disheartened by the lack of a great dragon. Members of an fan group known only as "F.A.T.", however, claimed to be pleased with the new edition's selection. "Lots of babes," said an anonymous member approvingly. "Galadriel, Celebrían, Erendis... even that tree girl, Fimbrethil. Much better than the last round." But enough interviewing. The game starts NOW. Each day, one (or possibly more, if I decide to allow double-lynches, which I probably will most days) person will be evicted from the game by the voting of YOU the readers. The days will be more or less regular in duration, but due to the irregularities that are a working bum's life, the exact duration of the day will not be herein specified, so as to allow me the chance to open/close the days as I please, and to allow for a greater air of uncertainty (no holding votes back to the deadline, guys). Votes are retractable. They should appear like this: ++ Nilpaurion Felagund (who is not a legitimate candidate). Okay, I think you guys know how this works. You may begin. Oh, and Nilp, your vote for Ar-Pharazôn is not pre-registered.

++DURIN III
Rather unoriginal to be the third Durin, isn't it? Being the second is dull but excusable. Being a triple is unpardonable.

The first day of voting is over. The Remade citizens of Arda sit back and note with amusement the following final distribution of the votes:
Sauron: I Glorfindel: I Anárion: I Fuinur: I Durin III: IIIII Ar-Pharazôn: IIIII I With six votes out of a total of fifteen cast, Ar-Pharazôn narrowly heads off Durin III for the first dismissal. It would appear that the voters of Arda Envinyanta haven't forgotten the man who did more than Melkor to destroy the world as we know it. Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Amdír Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Tar-Aldarion Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Durin III Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Thorondor Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Herumor Fuinur Those Voted Off: Ar-Pharazôn the Golden Day 2 is up! Vote to your little hearts' contents.

Ahhh...the sweet smell of our first victory!!
Announcer: Welcome back to the Second Age Survivor brought to you by Swallow Hard, your cure for all gall bladder complains. Remember, when you have excess gall, use Swallow Hard. And we’re back to the action. I’m joined here in the booth by Bob. Bob, what is your take on the action?
Color Commentator: Well Cliff, the main development has been the reformation of the Saucie/Kuru Alliance of DOOM! This limping juggernaut may or may not have a discernable impact on the course of the game. They are currently offering a spot to the Elector Lalaith. This would simply involve the three of them combining votes until such time as they all ran out of mutually agreeable targets for eviction. At that point they will undoubtedly turn on each other. However, by that point they will probably have burned through about five or six candidates that they don’t like. (did you get all that Lalaith? ) Kuruharan is currently hoping that Holbytlass will put in an appearance because he has a deal to propose.Oh yes, and there may have been a successful eviction or some rot like that, I can't be bothered with following the details when I'm analyzing the game. Meanwhile, whether or not the Alliance of DOOM has a discernable impact on the voting, they are already succeeding in annoying Anguirel and the phantom. This has been great for the ratings. Announcer: And why is that Bob? Color Commentator: (Where is my Martini James Bond?!! Somebody is going to be fired for this!!!)…ahem, sorry. The viewers find the spectacle of the phantom losing it to be irresistible. When he starts cracking up (and we are seeing signs of this) he has a tendency to sometimes become hysterical, which is hysterical. The viewers love hilarity. He also is one of the top targets on H.A.G.’s hit list because he is a male chauvinist. Anything that annoys him is good in their eyes. (They also resent the fact that he won’t try to seduce them…but I won’t say anything about that because we’ll be sued again.) F.A.T. and R.E.A.L. F.A.T. also (oddly enough) can agree on the fact that they don’t like him because he is better looking and more successful with the ladies than they are. Announcer: (That git!) Color Commentator: They are just green with envy. Uhh…Cliff, you don’t look so good…turning an interesting shade of teal… Announcer: Nonsense! The phantom is more than welcome to see our show and watch our commercials. Sideline Reporter: THE PHANTOM?!! Did you say the phantom?!! He’s watching now?!! And I’m without my leather!!! Announcer: No fair, I’ve never seen you in your lea… SSSHHHHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSHHHHHHHHHHH Director: We interrupt this program to give a stern talking to in the general direction of the broadcast team about proper behavior, and to get the stiff drinks out of the booth. We will take advantage of this opportunity to show a few more hours of commercials. BAWH-HAWH-HAWH-HAWH!!!

++TAR-ALDARION
The most boring character ever. Oh, look at me! I'm in a mutually unsatisfactory relationship! But do I try to add any drama to my story? Answer's no. A total waste of space. I've decided that both he and Erendis must go. As long as this is brought about, I shall be happy.

Ok, I'm spotted.

The Second day of voting is over. The Remade citizens of Arda sit back and note with amusement the following final distribution of the votes:
Fangorn: II Thorondor: IIIII II Tar-Aldarion: IIIII II Once again, a King of the Númenoreans received an eviction notice from the game. It seems that the good voters of Arda Envinyanta were highly Catholic in their thinking, and looked down in disapproval on Arda's foremost example of marital strife. However, Tar-Aldarion was not alone in his eviction, but was accompanied from the game by Thorondor. The voters did not feel, it seemed, that he had a real right to be present. Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Amdír Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Durin III Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Herumor Fuinur Those Voted Off: Ar-Pharazôn the Golden Day 3 begins now! Vote away as you please.

The Third day of voting is over. The final distribution of votes is as follows:
Amandil: I Amdír: I Elros: I Glorfindel: II Durin III: IIIII III There seems to be a clear anti-king trend among the voting. Once again, a male ruler gets the axe, in this case the Dwarven King. Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Amdír Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Herumor Fuinur Day 4 begins now! Vote away as you please.

Save the Kings! Down with the pox-ridden republicans!
A clear destabiliser of monarchy was ++HERUMOR whose methods were so depressing even Tolkien couldn't write about them for long, it seems...oops, that would be the Fourth Age chappie. Ah well. Still a blimming anti-monarchist schemer. Get him.

As the Fourth day of voting drew to an end, it was clear that there was no one, single bandwaggon prevalent. The final distribution of votes is as follows:
Celebrimbor: I Fuinur: I Elrond: II Amdír: IIII Herumor: IIII Once again, a King is killed- albeit, since it's Amdír, it's hardly a huge loss. One could almost make the case that since Herumor appears in the Silmarillion, while Amdír only made Unfinished Tales, Herumor is the greater loss. Either way, they're both gone. Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Fuinur Day 5 begins now! The only tribes untouched are the Noldor and the Elendili- the tribes the Phantom and Anguirel have respectively sworn to protect, interestingly enough. Vote away as you please.

The Fifth day of voting drew to an end, one candidate having garnered an overwhelming majority of votes, although the number of players increased. The final distribution of votes is as follows:
Elros: I Glorfindel: I Erendis: I Isildur: I Sauron: Elrond: II Fuinur: IIIII IIII Fuinur, little known and ill loved, was evicted by the largest vote thus far. Sacrificed for Elrond's sake, he departed the game, never to return (as stated in the rules...). Those remaining: Tribe of the Noldor: Ereinion Gil-galad, Elrond Peredhil Galadriel Celebrimbor Glorfindel Tribe of the Sindar: Celeborn Círdan Orophir Celebrían Tribe of the Númenoreans: Elros Tar-Minyatur Erendis Tar-Míriel Tribe of the Elendili: Amandil Elendil Isildur Anárion Ohtar Tribe of the Other Speakers: Narvi Fangorn (Treebeard) Fimbrethil Tribe of the Baddies: Sauron The Witch-king Khamûl Day 6 begins now! Vote as you please.

Announcer: And we’re back. This portion of the program is brought to you by the number twelve. Remember, anytime you need a number following eleven or preceding thirteen, think of twelve. Bob, what do you make of the action?
Color Commentator: Well Cliff, the results of yesterday’s voting have reduced Kuruharan to a state of hysteria. Let’s go to the field. Announcer: We can’t! We’ve lost our sideline reporter! Color Commentator: We still have a cameraman and a microphone. Let’s listen. Kuruharan: My tie, my beautiful TIE!! It was RUINED!! It was such an exquisite compromise, so wonderfully crafted, so elegantly conceived, so, so…perfect. It would have left everybody equally angry and bitter. weeps. All spoiled by that interloper, that, that shameless…well, ooookay. It is kind of hard to stay mad at spawn. But I’ll have you know I was this >< close to being really angry. Announcer: Well, I’m glad we got that out of our system! But ranting and raving won’t cure the hole that has been torn in my poor little heart! Waaaahhhhh Color Commentator: Oh, will you stop?! Here have a drink of vodka! Officer Walley: Stop right there! Contraband! You’re under arrest! Color Commentator: You’ll never take me alive copper!!! jumps out of booth window Announcer and Officer Wally: Gosh I hope not! Meanwhile, Alas, Secret Agent Double Oh-Point Five was so close, but so far. As he was being whisked off to Mordor in an attempt to do away with him, the object of his affectio…quest was mere miles away. Scene: Inside the Khazad-dum Sigin-tarag Flagship Resort et Casino. Sideline Reporter: What do you mean we can’t stay to see the Tu Duo concert!!! That was why we came here!!! DON’T YOU LOVE ME?!! gets the whole big eyes and trembling lips thing going Tar-Aldarion: (Ugh! That reminds me of somebody!!) Of course, I love you darling. It’s just…we have to get out of here! Sideline Reporter: Why, boopsie? Tar-Aldarion: I…seem to have…gambled away most of the revenues of Numenor. Sideline Reporter: So? I have money. Tar-Aldarion: Oh, I didn’t gamble away most of that. Sideline Reporter: See. Tar-Aldarion: I gambled away every little bit of that. Sideline Reporter: WHAT?!!!!!!! Tar-Aldarion: Now, don’t get like that. I know how much you love me… Sideline Reporter: DON’T YOU DARE TRY THAT ON ME!!! Tar-Aldarion: We have to get out of here. King Durin has threatened to hand us over to Nari the Mad and Fali the Brokenbeard. I have a nasty feeling we don’t want to meet Nari the Mad and Fali the Brokenbeard. Sideline Reporter: They’d probably treat me better! Tar-Aldarion: Where are you going? Sideline Reporter: To find myself a real man!! Sideline Reporter exits casino, after telling the bouncers where to find Tar-Aldarion Sideline Reporter: (talking on cell phone) Daddy, get the bedroom ready and tell Mom to brace herself, your darling little girl who you love very much is coming for a visit!

My line of attack is growing tedious.
