Survivor : All Star - Page 15 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

wilwarin538 · 08-28-2006, 12:07 PM

I recounted the votes from yesterday and I received the same numbers, so nothing is going to change. Besides I don't think it makes much of a diference since Celebrian is gone today anyway.

Chrysophylax Dives - 2
Elbereth - 1
Goldberry - 5
Gloin - 1
Celebrian - 9

The villagers have decided and Celebrian is the one to be lynched today!

The angry viallgers grabbed the she-elf and roughly dragged her towards the gallows. They tied the rope around her neck and pulled the lever. Suddenly confetti sprang up from all around.

"Oops, wrong lever." the villager said, then he pulled the right one.

Celebrian's neck snapped, and she didn't transform. They had lynched an ord.

I think I miss modding Werewolf to much.

Remaining contestants:

From the Lord of the Rings Survivor
Gimli
Hama

From the Silmarillion Survivor
Elbereth

From the Hobbit Survivor
Smaug
Gloin

From the Second Age Survivor
Thorondor

From the Minor Works Survivor
Chrysophylax Dives

***************************************

You may now start voting.

NOTE:
Since the end is approaching, I've been thinking how I want the final 3 to work (or is it final 2?). I thought that instead of having you vote for who you want to have win in the thread, you could PM the name of who you want to win. Then I could post the results. This would give more surprise, and suspense, no one would know who the winner is.

If you all think this is a terrible idea, and you want to do it the traditional way, just say so and it will be done.

Glirdan · 08-28-2006, 12:13 PM

Ooooo! I like!! I vote

++PM!!

(You think you miss Werewolf!? Try having to get a game started up again!!

)

And my vote to cast out will be,

++Gloin

He's still in and he's still useless!!

The Only Real Estel · 08-28-2006, 12:16 PM

Sounds like a cool idea - I'll go with what the majority wants.

In the meantime I'm nothing if I don't keep my promises*:

I mean, she got caught by a dodgy bloke with a blue shirt, yellow boots and a feather in his hat and spent the rest of her time doing his washing and listening to his excruciating verse. It doesn't speak well of her, I'm afraid.

Anyone who enjoys Tom Bombadil's singing, or at least doesn't try to stop it, has to go.

Meneltarmacil · 08-28-2006, 07:24 PM

++Gloin

He's useless! Useless I say! So he helped a little on the Quest, but so did most of the other random Dwarves. And he fathered Gimli, but that doesn't mean much either as we don't generally keep people like Arathorn or the Gaffer around much.

littlemanpoet · 08-28-2006, 07:32 PM

Never minded Goldberry much. Nice, dutiful wife who knows her place and all.....

The Only Real Estel · 08-28-2006, 07:47 PM

Psst, nobody tell lmp his vote is missing the "++s" so his vote won't count!

The 1,000 Reader · 08-28-2006, 10:17 PM

++Gloin.

As far as we know, Goldberry has some spiritual thing going on, and being the possible daughter of Ulmo, she may influence the waters of Middle-Earth. Also, she liked Tom, and wasn't beaten over the head with a club and dragged off. Therefore, we have no idea what powers she might have. Gloin on the other hand, didn't really do much that to stand out.

Diamond18 · 08-28-2006, 11:31 PM

No woman in her right mind would actually want to be married to Tom.

No, I fear that the tally was correct, Diamond. You missed Thin's vote for Durin.

It always baffled me too. An old geezer like Tom should have a stout, twinkly wife, with greying hair, sleeves rolled up and flour on her elbows. Not some ethereal blonde flitting around. It's undignfied for all concerned, like Donald Trump or Rod Stewart, ageing bores with trophy wives...bleugh. Off with her.

Quote:

But one day Tom, he went and caught the River-
daughter,
in green gown, flowing hair, sitting in the rushes,
singing old water-songs to birds upon the bushes.

He caught her, held her fast! Water-rats went scuttering
reeds hissed, herons cried, and her heart was fluttering.
Said Tom Bombadil: 'Here's my pretty maiden!
You shall come home with me! The table is all laden:
yellow cream, honeycomb, white bread and butter;
roses at the window-sill and peeping round the shutter.
You shall come under Hill! Never mind your mother
in her deep weedy pool: there you'll find no lover!'

True, no beating with a club, but that looks like being dragged off to me...

And lmp:

Lalaith · 08-29-2006, 04:26 AM

Good heavens, Celuien, that is dreadful. He's no better than Ar-Pharazon himself.

Poor Goldberry, she needs to get off the island as soon as possible and into the hands of a good psychiatrist, to sort out her Stockholm Syndrome.

wilwarin538 · 08-29-2006, 12:58 PM

The votes ta the end of the day are:

Gloin - 9
Goldberry - 11

Goldberry is the character who has been voted out today!

After being voted for many times Goldberry expected this coming. So before the votes were tallied Goldberry ran away, before anything terrible could befall her. Though, she was never heard from again so something terrible probably befell her anyway.

Thus ends day 22!

If he hadn't been the doorguard, someone else would have. Why should he be treated specially by allowing his survival?
