Formendacil · 02-27-2006, 03:39 PM

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.
