Formendacil is quite convincing
++BERT
For being an anachronistic, talking statue of a cannibal. And to find out what Wayne will do if Galion stays.

Ah well. The Trolls have to be separated eventually. Better to minimise their grief by doing it now, not later-cruel to be kind...
--OLD TOOK, ++BERT And Saucie-Elves an exception? What about the mass motiveless Elf-slaughter in LOTR Survivor?

Ah. But I don't accept your original exception as an exception. In fact, I take exception to your exception.
In other words, vote Bert! Or better still the Old Took...

Ahhh!! How I remember the heartless Elf slaughter!! So fun!!!I want to do it again!!! But there's not enough Elves to do that. Oh well. I'll get the drunken butler out....eventually!!! (Uh oh, there goes the unbiastness ) Maybe I'll give up that vendetta..... Oh, and it wasn't motivless Ang. There was complete motive behind. Ask Folwren. It was for revenge. And we accomplished what we set out to do.

Excellent. I'm not that keen on losing Bert myself.
--BERT, ++OLD TOOK Evict the Old Took! The poor buffer hates every minute of his stay on the island; he was forced onto the show at the last minute by popular acclaim, but he'd far rather be tucked up at home in Tuckborough with a few crumpets.

In the event of a Galion/Bert double lynching, I wish to be registered as voting for Bert. In all other situations-send Gerontius back to his hearthrug!

Here's the cast out post!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 22 was a rather interesting day. Everyone kept changing their minds on who they wanted to vote for. In the end, they decided that to vote of Old Took would be the wisest choice. "He's far to old to be hear!" Belladonna cried. "He was dragged out of Tuckborough from his hearth, where he should be at this present moment, and put on this ridiculous, yet rather fun, show!" "And we must save our fellow troll!!!!" Tom and William cried. That night at voting council: Smaug - 1 Galion - 4 Old Took - 6 Bert - 3 "Thank you all so kindly for letting me leave," Old Took said with great delight. "Now, I shall return to my home and relax in front of my hearth." And he did just that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contestants voted out: Bofur Ori Durin (The first King Under the Mountain) Nori Fundin Gandalf Nain (father of Dain) Bungo Bagins Chief of Guards Thorin Bilbo Golfimbul Carc Gollum The Master Dwalin Bifur Great Goblin Bard Azog Oin Dain Necromancer Old Took The remaining contestants: Dwarves/Bad Guys Balin Bombur Dori Fili Gloin Kili Thrain (father of Thorin) Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Bert Bolg Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Men/Elves/Others Beorn Elrond Galion (Elvenking's Butler) Elvenking Girion Eagle Lord Roac Belladonna Took Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) Day 23 starts now.

You are all very strange people (judging from your votes during this game) and I have come to the conclution that it would be a waste of time to build up a great argument for voting of Bert. Instead I will just do so.

you have seenmy arguements since almost day 1, you have also seent he arguements others have made to prove my point. What does galion do to help the tribe?? What has he ever done??? How does he improve ratings?? Drunken humor may be funny to a few people, but only for a while. And frankly, when Galion gets drunk, which is all the time, he just falls asleep. OOOH that really improves ratings!!! it is time we got him out of there

++Elrond
He is petulant to all dwarves and not in a humorous way. Also his insistence that the elves sing inane songs is highly irritating and belittling to the elven race.

What Galion does may not benifit the tribe, but he surley isnt hurting it. Bert eats people. Now, would you rather have someone who eats people or someone who is just asleep all the time?

ah Elu,
but Bert does not eat any of the contestants, mostly castoffs and animals. Also his eating of people is helping to raise the ratings. |

That drunken butler has just stayed around too long. Plus, some are now complaining that he's keeping all the wine to himself.

Day 23
After another exhausting day, the tribe has finally decided to get rid of Galion, the drunken idiot who keeps stealing the wine, lowering the shows ratings and does absolutely nothing around camp. "He's another useless bum in my services!" Thranduil shouted. "Begone with him!"
However, Galion was not going down alone. "There are far to many trols. I say we get rid of the one who starts at the top of the list." Belladonna suggested. That just happened to be Bert. "He keept eating the other contestants who were trying out for this show and now he's pigging out on our food!" That night at voting council: Galion - 6 Bert - 6 Elrond - 1 With that, Bert turned into stone as the sun shone on him and he became the islands statue which eventually turned into a fountain. In outrage and in vengeance of their fallen comrade, William and Tom ate Galion up. Al that was left was his bones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contestants voted out: Bofur Ori Durin (The first King Under the Mountain) Nori Fundin Gandalf Nain (father of Dain) Bungo Bagins Chief of Guards Thorin Bilbo Golfimbul Carc Gollum The Master Dwalin Bifur Great Goblin Bard Azog Oin Dain Necromancer Old Took Bert Galion (Elvenking's Butler) The remaining contestants: Dwarves/Bad Guys Balin Bombur Dori Fili Gloin Kili Thrain (father of Thorin) Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Bolg Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Men/Elves/Others Beorn Elrond Elvenking Girion Eagle Lord Roac Belladonna Took Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) FINALLY!! Ugh, I mean, ummmm..... start voting!!!

I mean, talk about useless and boring. He's got that...errr And he has this terrible...ummm When he sneezes he doesn't even...well... Oh bother! He's so dull I can't even think of anything to say about him. That puts the viewers to sleep and drives down ratings. The producers will thank us.

Hear me people! There is much amiss in this town of Barrows! Do my eyes mistake me? How can one so lovable as Bert be so coldly thorwn into the hard, stony streets with so little remorse? How can this be, especially when such evils as those carrying red silk pocket handkerchiefs remain among us yet? And what is more, there is talk not of redress and penitance for wrongs done, but of the cruel sending forth of his brothers, Tom and William! Nay, I say to thee! It shall not be so! Not while Downers of courage, sense and fortitude remain yet among us!
++Elrond! A thousand times ++Elrond!
