It doesn't count if you reshuffle the tribes in your favour.

Ahhh, you caught on to me.

But, if you're interested, you can know my mind for a brief second and a thinking as to why I reshuffled them the way I did.

I was looking to make interesting combinations to provide for some interesting friendships. For instance, the one I was sold on doing from the beginning was combining Elves and Dwarves, because after all, they are such great friends. Plus you got creepy Gimli in there moving in on Galadriel as soon as Celeborn left.

So, it basically came down to the others and whether to split it 5-5 or 4-6. 5-5 either being Men, Wizard, Orc, and Hobbits, Ents...Or Men, Ents, and Hobbits, Wizard, Orc.

Or making it 4-6...Men, Wizard and Hobbits, Ents, Orc...And I decided that this way would make the combinations more appealing.

So, that's a look into the mind of Boromir88, fascinating isn't it? I bet I just creeped out a lot of people.

++Grishnakh

He fights, he cheats, he smells.

Celuien · 10-02-2005, 02:16 PM

++TREEBEARD

I want to save Alatar. An island without magic tricks is boring.

So I think the vote now stands at:

Alatar - 5
Treebeard - 4
Grishnakh - 2

Come on Grishnakh voters and switch to Treebeard!

Anguirel · 10-02-2005, 02:43 PM

++TREEBEARD needs recycling.

Boro, you are so cruel to separate the golden lurrrrvahs Eomer and Galadriel...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-02-2005, 02:48 PM

--Grishnakh ++Treebeard

arcticstorm · 10-02-2005, 02:52 PM

Burn the ENT!!!!!!!

++Treebeard

the guy who be short · 10-02-2005, 02:57 PM

Stay this madness!

Treebeard is part of the Super Happy Friends Club of Tolkien Characters. Without him, generations of children will be deprived of joy and happiness and turn to delinquency.

Do you want to be responsible for a generation of delinquents during your retirement years? Well then. Vote Alatar.

Kath · 10-02-2005, 03:00 PM

++ALATAR

I believe I put my reasons for not voting for Treebeard a long time ago, so there!

Boromir88 · 10-02-2005, 03:14 PM

Well as I said on another forum I must be off. I'm going to close about 10 minutes early.

This leaves it as

Treebeard- 7
Alatar- 6

Treebeard has been voted off and as Anguirel said a long long time ago it would take forever for the Tree just to get off the island so the tribes agree to chop him up and use him as firewood.

Dwarves/Elves: (AKA- The "G"-eeebees)
Galadriel
Glorfindel
Gimli
Gloin

Orc/Ents/Hobbits:
Grishnakh
Quickbeam
Lobelia
Merry
Pippin

Men/Wizard:
Eomer
Eowyn
Hama
Alatar

the guy who be short · 10-02-2005, 03:18 PM

F...firewood?

That's it, you fools, you've ruined our retirements.

++Alatar. I need his blood. It's a ritualistic kinda thing...

Lalaith · 10-02-2005, 03:36 PM

I'll vote for either Hama, Gloin or Grishnakh today.

Any other takers?
(you know properly speaking Boro you should've stuck Grish in with the elves...he was one once, after all...or his great-grandaddy was....)

Alcarillo · 10-02-2005, 04:13 PM

++Alatar

It's time to get rid of this lazy slob once and for all.

The Perky Ent · 10-02-2005, 04:44 PM

++Alatar

Glirdan · 10-02-2005, 04:53 PM

++Alatar

His wandering is really annoying.

WaynetheGoblin · 10-02-2005, 04:53 PM

++altar poor treebeard.

Formendacil · 10-02-2005, 05:28 PM

So Faramir be gone...

Good!

I regret my absence, and inability to participate against Treebeard in the past votes, but I will respect my promise, and vote with Firefoot as she needs it.

A promise is a promise.

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-02-2005, 06:08 PM

Gah! I missed the voting yesterday! Still, I would probably have voted for Treebeard, so it made little difference.

The tribes may have been re-shuffled, but there are still three from the original "Man" tribe.

Hama's cool with me. Eowyn is one of the two remaining females. So it's gotta be:

++Eomer

He's being far too over-protective of Eowyn. He won't let her do any of the physical tasks and, more importantly, he's stifling any chance of a love interest now that Faramir has (thankfully) gone.

And he's another goody-two-shoes.

mormegil · 10-02-2005, 06:26 PM

++LOBELIA

The old hag has got to go.

Gil-Galad · 10-02-2005, 07:15 PM

++Alatar then men...

Firefoot · 10-02-2005, 07:23 PM

++Alatar

Just to get him out of here. As others have said, he just sort of wanders off and doesn't do much, which gets wearing.

arcticstorm · 10-02-2005, 07:28 PM

We need to unite to save Alatar
++Eomer

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-02-2005, 07:31 PM

Then you need to vote:

++Lobelia

I would myself have let the old booger go, and voted Eomer off myself, but a promise is a promise.

++Alatar

Sorry, old fellow, but you DO sort of deserve it. Disappearing into the east of the island, and leaving all the work in the wizard tribe to old Gandalf? Not cricket! Can't have you doing the same to your new tribe-mates.

Lalaith · 10-03-2005, 02:21 AM

Vote off Eomer? The only decent-looking bloke left? Don't be daft, you'll lose the female audience.
As for Lobelia she is a woman of resourcefulness and spirit and the ageist rabble who conspired against Cirdan shall not be allowed to claim her too.
I would have liked to see Alatar stay longer, his skills are of use to the tribe, but it's looking like I'm going to have to vote for him. I'll hold off a little while though.

Anguirel · 10-03-2005, 02:53 AM

I'm voting for Quickbeam, for the others' safety. He's a hasty fellow and Treebeard's fate has not gone down well with him...he's made all the palm trees into Huorns...

++QUICKBEAM

Thinlómien · 10-03-2005, 08:35 AM

++Alatar

Celuien · 10-03-2005, 09:04 AM

++QUICKBEAM

Hasty, angry Ents are dangerous. Not only are the palm trees now Huorns, but he's tearing up the campsite tents and threatening to squish all of the other contestants as well.

Boromir88 · 10-03-2005, 11:46 AM

I have no more need for Alatar being around. Plus I hear he's trying to put the moves on Eowyn, during the long...cold...rainy nights of the Island.

++Alatar

Votes:

Alatar- 10
Quickbeam- 2
Eomer- 2
Lobelia- 2

WaynetheGoblin · 10-03-2005, 01:35 PM

I have gotten my revenge. I am so happy

. Never mess with the goblin.

Boromir88 · 10-03-2005, 03:15 PM

I hope there's no objections to this, I must go early again today. These Manager meetings I tell you. Atleast this ones a blow out.

Alatar, is off, and he mysteriously disappears into the east with his buddy Pallando.

Contestants...

Dwarves/Elves: (AKA- The "G"-eeebees)
Galadriel
Glorfindel
Gimli
Gloin

Orc/Ents/Hobbits:
Grishnakh
Quickbeam
Lobelia
Merry
Pippin

Men/Wizard:
Eomer
Eowyn
Hama

Glirdan · 10-03-2005, 03:19 PM

Now to get rid of some others. Let's get rid of Grishnahk. The ugly, smelly theiving orc.

++Grishnahk

wilwarin538 · 10-03-2005, 03:22 PM

More random randomness

++Eomer

I'm just a tad hyper right now.

Some know why.

mormegil · 10-03-2005, 03:30 PM

Okay now orc/ents/hobbits are the largest and of those the hobbits. I say either Lobelia or the annoying Pippin. Any takers?

Glirdan · 10-03-2005, 03:34 PM

I'll help with the Lobelia part if you need me to. Or we can get rid of that annoying orc Grishnahk. What say you?

mormegil · 10-03-2005, 03:35 PM

Sounds fine to me

++Lobelia

Glirdan · 10-03-2005, 03:38 PM

--Grishnahk ++Lobelia

wilwarin538 · 10-03-2005, 03:48 PM

Whatever makes you happy.

--Eomer ++Lobelia

Kath · 10-03-2005, 03:51 PM

++Lobelia

Mad old Hobbit with a lethal umbrella!

Lalaith · 10-03-2005, 03:53 PM

Noooo....don't do it.
C'mon mormegil, rethink.
+Pippin
The tribe need Lobelia, they'll starve without her, she's the only one who can cook. Pippin's unquenchable cheerfulness is getting very grating, however.
