Says he who instigated the ethnic cleansing of Elvendom! Hypocrisy, hypocrisy...
You're aplying superficial, sterile, anachronistic, generalistic and transatlantic values to a Dark Age Old English world. For heaven's sake, Eomer doesn't know what a quarterback is! Neither, indeed, do I!

Oft the unlooked for guest proves the most welcome. If any of you who are not usually Survivor participants read this and feel some pity for the young King on the brink of destruction, lend your swords against Grishnakh.
If ever you have gasped at "he was young, and he was king, the lord of a fell folk"... Then vote with your hearts and aid Rohan. If you know what it feels to thunder upon a horse... Vote with your legs for Rohan. If words like "north, sword, helm, frost, vale" excite you... Vote with your heads for Rohan. Down with the crooked Orc dupe!

tgwbs's stout aid brings it to-
Eomer-11 Grishnakh-11 Merry-1 Friends of the Rohirrim would still be eagerly accepted. We wish to save our King as well as trample our foe...

"Thrash on, you thrustful fellow, you threaten too much
It seems your spirit is struck with self-dread." That I say to the Eomer evictors. For Gawai...I mean, Eomer Eadig...

Well I'm tricksy, aren't I? And to all those who voted for Eomer:
I place a curse on you! You shall never rest until you fufil your oath to Grishnakh! Go now, and dwell under the mountain!

Say bye-bye to the sole trouble-maker on the island...Grishnakh. Now there's nothing left to left to go for except gushy muck, and "he's so great." No more conflict, no more drama, this show would cease to exist on National TV, but the show must go on...

Because... dare I say it? ... I rather like Eomer... But if that's who it's necessary to vote off today, I'll switch. But Quickbeam and Eomer... the two really just can't compare. |

I don't understand half of the insults being thrown back and forth concerning Eomer. It probably doesn't help that I never went to school, nor watched any of these alleged "flicks". My opinion of Eomer is of a big brother under a lot of stress, but who holds up so well that it takes a threat to himself and his sister before he loses his temper. He uses his head, you know? And that's needed around here. -- Folwren

See, you fools, without any true villains on the island you all have lost the necessary motivation to continue! Even our biased announcer has no real idea who to vote for! Perky has betrayed his fellow Ent! You have doomed yourselves. May the grace of the Valar save you.

Hmm, perhaps I should withdraw from the voting and run a book on the remaining contestants. Here's my thoughts: Dwarves/Elves Galadriel: 2-1 joint favourite Glorfindel: 2-1 joint favourite Gimli: 20-1 Gloin: 50 - 1 Hobbits/Ent Quickbeam: 200 - 1 Merry: 16 - 1 Pippin: 24 - 1 Men/rohan lady Eomer: 8 - 1 Eowyn: 3-1 Hama: 25 - 1 That seems the most likely to me with the kind of mentality we have round here at the moment.

I can see Quickbeam will wall anyway, so I'm going to vote for a character I actually dislike unless Eomer is seriously threatened...
++GLOIN I really can't believe this geriatric snob is still here. To all you fools who say the departure of Grishnakh ends conflict...nonsense. Conflict between supposedly "good" characters is more morally ambiguous and fun. Examples: Will Gimli overcome the urge to take an axe to Quickbeam? Will Eomer or Gimli win Galadriel's heart? Who will prevail in their duels? Will Glorfindel do an Aegnor and carry off Eowyn? How will Eomer and Hama react? Will Quickbeam continue to ravage the island with palm tree huorns to revenge Treebeard? Will Merry and Pippin form a sworn hobbit assassin's guild and slay Gloin for impugning their kinsman Bilbo's honour with slander about groceries? And so on. Now say you'd think this was boring on TV.

At the very last people, are we going to do some kind of thing where all the people who were voted off come back? If we are, I think we should save Eomer, just so we can crush his hopes so close to the finish line when all the islanders vote agaisnt him!

There's been no problem with this, I'm quite pleased with how this has turned out, and I'm enjoying doing it. But, with us winding down here to the final days, I have a concern that things may get more heated, we all have a pretty good idea on who we want to win...do we not? So, as a Reminder, let's keep our posts on reasons and arguments why someone should stay or leave, don't make anything personal. I wanted to address this before any problems that may rise, especially since we're getting down to the nitty-gritty.
Quote:
Here's how I planned the last day to go...and I'm laying it now so there's time to make changes if anyone thinks we need them, and to sort of give you an idea how the last day will go so it's not total chaos. I think the last day with three people left should sort of be the grand finale, the cream-of-the-crop, the best quality from the thread. So, I'm altering rules around a bit, which all go towards making the last day of voting the best. 1) You vote for the person you WANT to win. 2) Votes will be irretractable. By this time you should know who you want to win. If you decide to take back your vote, NEITHER of your votes will count. 3) I will not vote unless we have a tie. This I think benefits in a few ways. First, take my word for it (I'm asking you to trust Boromir of all people ) that if there is a tie, and I have to decide it will be unbiased. In the event of a tie, is the only time that I CAN vote. The way I'll judge is creativity and it's got to be atleast related to LOTR in some way of the arguments you give for your person and against the others (I'll give some examples). So, my decision will be based on how convincing you make your arguments for why the person you voted for should win, and why the other two should lose. This also, I think makes sure I just don't get a bunch of votes in here, and that we get the true thread quality at the end. This way, JUST in case if there is a tie, the decision will be up to me, on how well you have argued for your person. For kind of what I'm looking for in the arguments at the end, here's the way to do it, and the way not to do it. As I said, I'll be looking for creativity and whether it's related to LOTR in any way. For example, I'll use Gil, I fail to see how stealing his pies is LOTR related. Though it may be creative, unless he can convince me what stealing his pies has anything to do with LOTR, I'll have to say that this would not be a good argument. For a good example...funny I'll use Gil again. When voting for Elrond he said..."Yeah, I'm dead because of him, that jerk." I found this extremely funny, and it does relate to LOTR...Gil-galad...dead because of Elrond. Also, I found Formendacil's Eomer the Uruk, Galadriel the Balrog, Quickbeam the troll, quite hilarious as they're basically polar opposites. Though Formendacil, I'll say I think Glorfindel would be a better balrog candidate then Galadriel. Anyway, that's in case if there will be a tie. Everyone agree...disagree...thoughts, Input?
