Apologies for missing the Khamul appeal earlier, Ang! Celeborn was safe, at least. Though I miss Gil-Galad already.

This is why. He was an embarassment to the title of Elf Lord in the Third Age. I can't imagine that he was any better in the Second.

He's been sitting in the back of my mind for a while, now. He's just not that interesting of a guy - rather flat. I don't see any outstanding merits of his that would earn him the right to winning Survivor. Galadriel sure didn't have the greatest of tastes. |

I already gave reasons the other day. If it comes down to Khamul and Celeborn, I will vote to save Khamul. Celeborn isn't one of my favorites, and we need bad guys to keep things even.

Why? His name shares an uncanny resemblance to that most icky of vegetables, the dread celery stalk, as is well documented in Chapter the 64th of this most accurate and estimable historical tome. I rest my case.

phantom, by supporting the attackers of Celeborn, even if obliquely, you become a pawn of none other than the Alliance of Ultra-Doom.
No longer shall the name of the phantom be loved, worshipped and feared! Nay, little children shall giggle and point in the street-"There goes the thrall of Saucey..."

Lhuna, listen not to the spawn.
Gil-Galad's fall was engineered by the supporters of Khamul. They must suffer as a result. Besides, attacking Celeborn is an orthodox and boring to do. You'll see the same tired arguments coming out. "He doesn't do much." To which I say, he's too cool to lower himself by getting involved in the plot. "He's not as pretty as his wife." And your point is? The Queen isn't as pretty as Rosamund Pike; does that mean we should execute her? "He's a Sinda and we don't need them around." You are a follower of the phantom. Allow yourself to be convinced that pan-Noldorism is counterproductive. "He's got a stupid Quenya name." He was given a stupid Quenya name at a time when Tolkien was committing such errors as to declare Galadriel morally unambiguous. "I'm swayed by Saucie's sequence of pictures." Read it from Celeborn's point of view. A decent host suffering a rather trying marriage. To all Elf-sympathisers-in the words of Russellus Croweus Maximus Australianus, "the only chance we have of getting out of this place alive is if we stay together." To all individualists-voting Khamul is a rare opportunity to annoy Saucie and the phantom at the same time...

Besides, my contacts and researchers have it differently. Now I'm happy to admit when I'm annoyed. Some people in this world have a sense of justice. The vote has sung the so-called Alliance's tune long enough!

Anguirel, you try to be original and an individual so hard that you don't leave yourself much scope. If your vote depends on the amount of people who will get annoyed, it's hardly very independent.

Quote:
![]() Isn't it obvious that if one doesn't want Khamûl to go, he or she votes for someone else. Usually the vote goes to a candidate who already has votes and thus makes the saving of, in this case, Khamûl possible. It could have been Celeborn...

Well, Ang, if it'll make you happy I'll vote for Khamul and force a tie for now. Since neither is a character that I think deserves to win, I wouldn't be terribly disappointed to see them both gone.
But Kuru and Lalaith haven't voted yet, and we know who they will vote for, so I don't really see the point. Unless you can talk a few others into it like Eomer and Gil, my vote for Khamul wouldn't matter in the least.

You do yourself an injustice, phantom! Everyone will surely flock to follow your vote! Please leap to my side.
Besides, though Lalaith won't break the Alliance, I think she might just abstain in this situation. I assure you that the newly dubbed hobbit is beloved of your foes. Strike Khamul!

All right. Since I don't care too much, I suppose it would make sense for me to lend my vote to someone who does care.
To force a tie.... - - Ohtar + + Khamul Eomer and Gil- it's a guarantee at this point that your candidates aren't going to be killed. If it's all the same to you, see if you can keep Khamul even with Celeborn if Celeborn pulls ahead, if for no other reason than Sauce so obviously wants Celeborn to get more votes than Khamul.

The Diamond-encrusted one speaks sense...and she has the good taste to cite a work of literature that I participated in.
++ Celeborn Ang, have you ever read The Art of War? There are a few good points therein you could profit by...particularly at the end of the first chapter relating to estimates and calculations.

You smug Machiavelli/Sun Tzuist, spouting your strategems. I defy you and your cohorts. I trust in passion and taste. And the (admittedly suppressed at present) propensity of truehearted voters to support the underdog.

I told you those two would vote for Celeborn, Ang.
Unless you can convince others within the next few hours, Celeborn is toast.

The Alliance! What is the Alliance?
A dagger of the mind, a false creation... Wait! Lalaith's vote does not count. It is not reasoned. Can you give any reason, lady, any reason for voting Celeborn but that you are swung by your masters? Only...two...more...votes...

I don't sink that low.
And I can do "any", but "enough" is proving difficult. Where is the League that was monopolising, to paraphrase Theoden?

Clearly, I am a moral vacuum
![]() ++ Khamul the Easterling He is somewhat insubstantial - can't tell if he is Bactrian or a dromedary. But it might explain this nazgul's strange relationship to water. And Celeborn is the silverhaired, prettyboy trophy husband of the Age.

I always felt sorry for Celeborn. He was a great man in his own right, but so eclipsed by his wife, who felt free to run rough-shod over him whenever she pleased. Vote Khamul and support helpless, henpecked, husbands!

Celeborn is awesome. He stormed Mirkwood and drove out the baddies, he's supposedly the wisest guy around in the 3rd Age... I like him and don't want to see him go.
Khamul, on the other hand, is merely a cronie. Sure, he's got his own name, but he's a minion. No will of his own. No point in keeping him around. ++Khamul |
