The Noldor are now indeed Doomed...
I'll repair the damage. I'll, er, defend the Elendili with every breath in my body. And you can quote me on that...

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.

Once again, Elu Ancalime, you have voted for Elrond without saying why. Are you going to give a reason?

I may have hinted at my reasoning, even though what was posted was more light. This comes back to campaign against charactar or campaign for vendetta. The literary character of Elrond Half-Elven has not generated any broad and lasting support throughout these 'sessions of persausion.' If there is not a popularity to defend him, I have the justification to make effort for his removal.
Huh. I think I may have unknowningly compelled myself into the DOOM Factor. Quote:

Well, since this is now indisputably war, let's have a look at the statistics.
Those treacherously removed by the insidious Alliance of Ultra-Doom Ar-Pharazon Tar-Aldarion Amdir Those cunningly driven out by the Heroic Resistance of Individual Freethinkers Thorondor Durin III Herumor Everything lies in the balance still. The fate of Arda Envinyata could go either way... Let's finish the good we began, albeit half-heartedly, yesterday. Fuinur is an anagram of RUIN UF (short, I presume, for UFO). So to add to his numerous other crimes, we now know that Fuinur spent his time vandalising the spacecrafts of respectable aliens! Take him dooown...Heroic Resistance...with me! ++FUINUR

So, if I understand you correctly, Elu, you are voting for Elrond because in past games he hasn't been popular.
I suppose that is a reason, but it's not what you would call a solid reason. Reason should matter in this game, wouldn't you agree? If someone has given good solid reasons not to vote for a certain character you should not vote for them unless you have some good solid reasons of your own to combat the defender. Your reason "I voted for Elrond because he wasn't popular in the last game" is not a solid reason compared to my text-based defense of Elrond, therefore I don't see how can you justify voting for Elrond. A decision like that adds nothing but randomness to the game. When anyone, without much of a reason, votes for someone who has been very well defended with Tolkien quotes, he is basically saying "I ignore people's arguments." And if you ask me, that sort of thinking makes this entire game pointless. This game should be about arguing, debating, and convincing, not about voting for a character on a whim and refusing to change it despite good arguments from others.

A new season, how lovely!
I feel there's something rotten here. Yes, I'm talking about Glorfindel's decaying remainders. I may not be as well aware of profitable tactics and strategies in this game as the rest of you, but I know one thing: Glorfindel's hardly a survivor.
Just take a look at his achievements: Well, he managed to take a powder when some baddies came to Gondolin. Very brave. Too bad he got killed by the first enemy that passed his way after it. Also, he was able to sprout some yellow flowers from his deceased body which itself is a nice trick, but really, do we want to watch how grass slowly grows taller on prime time? To be fair, it is said that Glorfindel pulled a balrog with him as he fell off a cliff after a fight. But then again, what's so great in a battle that ends in a draw? Now, how did it go... a draw means that no-one wins which means that everybody loses. Great. He's officially a loser. Besides, I have my doubts that he even managed to kill the balrog. You see, unlike the balrog, Glorfindel didn't have wings ( ![]() It is also said that without Thorondor, Glorfindel wouldn't have had any chance to beat the enemy he encountered on the mountains (actually, he wasn't able to win even with the eagles). Now that Thorondor has been voted off, I don't see much sense in keeping goldilocks around either. Therefore... ++Glorfindel Oh, and for those who rely on anagrams when making their decisions on who should leave: Glorfindel = Old elf girn. What do we do with a decrepit complaining chap like him? One of the Noldor or not, I would ask you to consider whether you really want to keep such a wuss around.

Now that her not-so-loving-husband's gone you'd think she'd loosen up a bit; but she's still boring. Moaning, complaining, not having fun. I don't want her on the show, and I don't want to read her awful story ever again. Anagram? Um...ok: DEER SIN I'm not sure what it means but I guarantee it's bad. String her up!

Actually, I'm considering cutting the apparatchniks and going straight for "Annatar".
It would be a blow to pompous, over-mighty Maiar all over the place... But I'll only act if sufficient interest is shown.

Announcer: And we’re back to Second Age Survivor, brought to you by Hack-n-Cough, your cure for the common cold. I’m joined in the booth by Bob…
Color Commentator: Hello. Announcer: And on the sidelines by…wooboy! by the lovely in black leather Amanda! Sideline Reporter: Bye losers! I’m off to a rock concert to find myself a real man…or throw my room key…and other things, at the band members. If that doesn’t work then I’ll stand in line after the show is over and maybe one of the band members will autograph my leg! Point is, I’m splittin’. walks off Announcer: She can’t do that! Security! Stop her! Officer Walley and Mr. Billy Club attempt to tackle the Sideline Reporter. The Sideline Reporter administers one swift kick to the YEEEEEOUCH!! and Officer Walley drops to his knees. The Sideline Reporter finishes him off with another kick to the head. Color Commentator: I guess she can do that. Announcer: What is your analysis? Color Commentator: I think this so-called League might be in a spot of bother. They seem to be earnestly defending the Noldor, even though this will ultimately lead to disaster as surely as, well, as your love life is going to go down the tubes Bob. smack Color Commentator: Anyway, we can already see this process beginning. Multiple Noldor are now being mentioned as potential eviction candidates. Particularly troublesome from the perspective of this so-called League is the repeated intervention of Elu Ancalime against Elrond. Sooner or later persistence will pay off. Also alarming from the perspective of the League is the intervention of dancing spawn. She is dangerous because she has an uncanny ability to draw people over to her side. I think this may be the beginning of the end for Glorfindel unless somebody can convince her otherwise. While these are trends, at the moment Erendis has emerged as a serious candidate for eviction today. Announcer: That’s enough from you! And now for a report from Amanda! Amanda? Hello? Oh, yeah…right. weeps Color Commentator: Oh, get over it! We’ll be right back.

I wish to announce, incidentally, that I am not affiliated with this League and have very little idea what is going on, but that I am undoubtedly enjoying it.
Oh and Kuru, Bob needs to get Amanda back, otherwise ratings will collapse, and your security just isn't up to it. I'd be happy to undertake to to track her down and tempt her back into this game. Black leather transcends petty differences...

No, Kuru, you're confused. The League is a League. An alliance like yours, it seems.
The Heroic Resistance is a wider concept. A cause. Now how about my offer?

Perhaps. But surely it's better to appeal generally to a sense of justice than to bind thralls in vassalage?
And mum's the word. Donning Galvorn mail. I'll be setting off from Andunie in just under an hour...

++FUINUR I too love and respect Elrond. My help may not prove important, but if it affords my Erendis campaign a little sympathy then it could be doubly worthwhile. Spawn, you are wrong to call Erendis 'the snappish one' or a generally exciting anti-establishment malcontent (as you so clearly implied ![]() Eviction is too good for her. I say we feed her to the wolves.

Update on the Hunt for Amanda
HEAVILY ARMOURED FIGURE: (speaking through visor) Well, here we are in Andunie, and before I take ship for Middle-earth I'm intending to interview Her Majesty Queen Erendis, who may have important evidence regarding Amanda's location.
ERENDIS: May have? Is that any way to address your sovereign? HEAVILY ARMOURED FIGURE: Well, er, technically... ERENDIS: Particularly when her feckless husband had sailed away with some slag to a rock concert, leaving her heartbroken... ANGUIREL: (for it is he) Wait! Slag? Rock concert? Where was this... ERENDIS: Silence, rascal. Do not befoul my regal and tragic dignity with your coarse questions. ANGUIREL: No, no, Your Majesty, that wasn't the intention at all... (Enter the Elendili, carrying imposing swords.) ELENDIL: Is that journo spiv giving you trouble, Ma'am? (Anguirel clanks from the scene as subtly as possible.)
