lets go with ++Gloin.

while his name does not sound quite Disneyish, it is arguably worse than Bofur's (which i quite liked, by the way

).

Only if you pronounce it incorrectly!

News just in-Fundin stands for Fund in Nurn. This Dwarven blackguard is clearly accepting subsidies in a dark pact with the Necromancer himself!

++Durin

Though they call him the deathless his corpse is stinking rather badly and is distracting all.

Though I will be going for Bilbo soon!

Nain....

A homonym of "neighin' ", which clearly suggests that his name means "Old Horse Face" in Khuzdul. Clearly, an unsavoury character, and we have too many Dwarves as it is. And he ought to be dead by the time of The Hobbit anyway. Let's help him fulfill his destiny!

++Nain, son of Gror

And shouldn't Galadriel and Saruman be in the game?
They presumably participated on the attack on the
Necromancer. Not to mention the nazgul.

I guess, but were they mentioned in The Hobbit?

Hmmm. Who to go for. There's a long list gathering up here.

I think I'll go for

++Great Goblin

If he's so great, why did he go and get killed by a measely wizard?

Meneltarmacil · 11-30-2005, 03:41 PM

++Ori

Was there even a point to bringing him along? He contributed absolutely nothing to the Quest, as did quite a few other Dwarves on it. Come on, we need to get rid of some of these redundant characters!

I dont know why I didnt notice this was here but I will vote for a random.
++william
I picked a random villain I want the villains to lose.

Oh, com'on! Bert is like the most loveable bag guy ever! You can't vote him out yet!

I still say The Master should go, but I don't think my campaign has enough steam to go the distance.

But another dwarf will go, so let's see what we've got:

Balin - sounds like a crybaby. (<-----bad puns abound.)
Bifur - a bumbling baffoon.
Bombur - an ever-hungry bumbling baffoon.
Dain - who is this guy? Some town-maker or what?
Dori - put him on hinges in a doorway. (<------bad pun again.)
Durin - could endure to the end. (<------oh, another groaner.)
Dwalin - talks funny.
Fili - a 76er's fan, no doubt.
Fundin - I bet he's fun. (<-----bad, bad pun.)
Gloin - makes me think of groin....?
Kili - he's a killer, let him stay.
Nain - ????...?
Nori - blameshifter. [nor I] (<-----bad puns abound.)
Oin - just got hit in the groin. (<-----still abounding.)
Ori - what kind of name is Ori anyway
Thrain - well, he might have sthrain for victory. (<-----okay, that's the last one.)
Thorin - pompus windbag
Thror - what a boar. (<-----sorry, couldn't resist.)

So after that 'in depth analysis', I will go kick out the most fun/friendly/caring/peaceful dwarf and leave the bloodthirsty/offensive/deadly/egotistical/grumpy/stupid(/entertaining). With that in mind, I narrow it down to three.

Dain
Nain
Ori

That's tough, but I think I'll go with

++Ori

because he loves himself too much.
