Smaug won? Wow, that comes as a shock to me.

For those who want to know I really did want Hama to win. I really wanted him to win the first survivor and he didn't there and so I was going for him all along, with a little help from well placed downers , I thought we may have a chance but to no avail. He has a good showing though.

Thanks to all for a wonderful game. These truly are memorable and fun moments. Sorry to all those *rune* I offend it's only in fun.

Active awesomeness has claimed victory. Go Smaug!

Yes, dragon victory! That's all that matters.

I should have been paying more attention; I totally missed the vote. Oh, well, I would have either voted for Smaug, resulting in the same outcome, or for Chrys, resulting in a tie for the two dragons! Disappointing that I missed out, but it turned out okay... all's well that ends well, I guess. Yeah, Dragons!

I don't belive it! One of my favourits (from the start) WON ! ! !

I think it is a bit Ironic that Smaug won because TORE was telling people to vote for Chrysophylax Dives in his sig. I saw it 50 min before the voting ended, before that I didn't know that the voting for the winner had started.

Three hurrahs for Smaug! Surely one of my favourites from the beginning.

And Gah! How near Elbereth made it! I mean, someone who gives you the stars! Just consider the world without them - how boring as a character that one giving them to us might be...

In the beginning this looked grim indeed but the result surely gives me some pleasure. Although I agree with Morm about evicting Hama being most unfortunate. Still of the final trio I liked two and the third one didn't win...

Fun!

Thanks all!

Let's make the next one (whatever that could be) even more exciting, making more claims and arguments than in this one!

I also honestly wanted Hama to win. I just got deflated and smashed after he was gone as there was no appealing characters to me, not even Smaug. (Thanks for the attempt of those who tried to keep me interested)

Great job to you Wilwarin, did what you had to do, and you kept all of us troublemakers in line.

I too was a little less than thrilled with the final characters. As we got to the end, I realized that I really didn't want any of those characters to win.

Let's do survivor: Hama where he is the only contestant.

Don't forget a bunch of elves you can vote off, before declaring Hama for "Awesomeness Incarnated"

And it is not at all as if some of us planned and worked for this almost from the beginning...no, not at all.

Congratulations to Smaug, our first (and probably only) two time winner!

We wonders, precious. Aye, we wonders. There's mischief from those two, I'll warrant.

It's astonishing that I voted with Kuru, Morm, and SPM in a Survivor thread. What is this world coming to?

Oh that? No, no, not telling people to vote for him (if I did that they probably would vote otherwise just to annoy me)...suggesting maybe, but not telling.

I too find it ironic that I voted the same way as morm, Kuru, & SpM - especially morm & Kuru.

Well, I cannot be too disappointed in the outcome. My only hope for the game at the outset was to have Smaug and Chrysophylax duking it out in the final, as they were the only characters really to excite me in the game. I thought it would be next to impossible so I'm glad it turned out otherwise.

It's no secret I would have rather Chrysi won, but Smaug was my second choice. I mean, he did die a stupid death but he's a Dragon and that counts for something! So congratulations to the big fiery dope.

Well, if it cheers you up, the death was highly situational, and what I call a "hari-kiri death", where the character dies, but in a way that they keep their awesomeness and respect. Smaug, Gandalf, Boromir, Hama, and the Witch-King classify as this.

With a tie, I would have probably chosen the one I liked the most. Which would have been Chrysophylax, cause he has a cool name.

It was the same reason I used when voting for Chrysophylax. . .
