So long as Smaug is here, threatening to make roast dwarf for dinner, it would seem unwise to evict as skilled (if dull) an archer as Bard. Now, Bifur seems to serve little purpose on the island, not doing much more than assisting Bombur in devouring the dwarves' rations. Therefore, my vote will go to
++BIFUR

Day 16
After having the useless Dwarf Bifur on the island for 16 days, people finally decided that it was time for them to get rid of Bifur. "He's lazy and useless. I say that's reason enough. " Balin said. That night, at tribal council, the voting went a little something like this:
Great Goblin - 1 Bifur - 6 Bard - 4 "Fine be that way!!!" And with that he went off in search of his brother, Bofur who was resting peacfully in The Lonely Mountain while Smaug was away. 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 The remaining contestants: Dwarves Balin Bombur Dain Dori Fili Gloin Kili Oin Thrain (father of Thorin) Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Men/Elves Bard Beorn Elrond Galion (Elvenking's Butler) Elvenking Girion Bad Guys Azog Bert Bolg Great Goblin Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Others Eagle Lord Roac Necromancer Belladonna Took Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) Old Took Be my guest to start voting for Day 17!!!

Three votes in a row. It could mean something.

It's Bard or Beorn for me. I will go to whichever appears to have the best chance of being ousted. I will admit that I would rather Beorn be gone than Bard.

There is nothing wrong with Bard and certainly nothing wrong with Beorn. There is, however, something deeply disterbing about someone that threatens to 'knash' people he doesn't like.
++The Great Goblin (actually, this is more of a protest vote, as i don't really mind the guy myself.)

Nothing wrong with Bard ! ! !
Bard built his kingdom around the feudal system, what defines feudalism is that the power of the ruling class (the aristocracy) rested on their control of the farmable lands, leading to a class society based upon the exploitation of the peasants who farm these lands, typically under serfdom.

I refuse to join any bandwagon today.
 ++Belladonna Took Being named for a toxic member of the nightshade family is no coincidence. In fact, Belladonna Took is an infamous serial poisoner, adding the deadly substance to wine and burying her victims in her cellars. Who knows when she'lll strike next? No one is safe until she goes home.

I had a promise from Ang to vote for Azog but the votes are going otherwise, and really I care little which goblin we kill. I want to save Bard, he is a bit of a prig but I respect a man who can shoot a straight arrow.

Day 17
Today was a very back and forth day. People couldn't decide on whether to get rid of Bard, the King of Dale, or The Great Goblin, who inflicted many woes upon travallers. "I say we look at both of them and compare!" Gloin suggested. "Well let's see. Bard is a useless leader who we don't really need at this point in time to lead us. He's also very dull and a rule follower. We need some conflict!!" Girion said. "The Great Goblin took us hostage, whipped us and almost killed us not to mention hurt many other travallers on their way throught the Misty Moutains. He's also in league with tha Chief Warg and that's never a good thing!!" Bombur said. " I have an idea!!" Elrond cried. Everyone looked at him in expectancy. "Let's get rid of them both!!!" The voting that night went a little something like this:
Bard - 4 Beorn - 1 The Great Goblin - 4 Bombur - 1 Belladonna Took - 1 "Ok, now how do we get rid of them?" asked Beorn. As if on cue, Gandalf reappeared and beheaded The Great Goblin then disappeared. "Well, that takes care of one, but what about the other?" asked Old Took. Once again, as if on cue, a whole army of orcs arrived and slew Bard where he stood. They to then disappeared. "Well, that was the wierdest thing I've ever seen!!" cried Elrond. "And I should know 'cause I've seen some pretty wierd things!!" And with that, they left for camp. 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 The remaining contestants: Dwarves Balin Bombur Dain Dori Fili Gloin Kili Oin Thrain (father of Thorin) Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Men/Elves Beorn Elrond Galion (Elvenking's Butler) Elvenking Girion Bad Guys Azog Bert Bolg Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Others Eagle Lord Roac Necromancer Belladonna Took Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) Old Took Well, there goes two useless bumpkins. Things should be a little more interesting starting on Day 18!!

I must honour my deal with Glirdan and, in any event, the drunken butler's antics really are now getting rather boring. The Elf's a buffoon. It was funny to begin with, but now it's just sad.

Thanks Saucy, for honoring the deal. I'm also in complete agreement with you. His drunken antics were funny at first, but now they're just lame. I say we send him off with that useless Chief of Guards. It's also his fault for getting the chief drunk and thus letting the Dwarves escape.

This tribe has been persecuted enough.
Down with the malodorous goblin ++AZOG. He is so called because he was issued with no less than 420 ASBOs (Anti Social Behaviour Orders) for graffiti and murder, called in the Khuzdul tongue AZOGs (Anti Zuchkkkerrilichiggkurin Organkadaringur Geldharks.)

Day 18
No matter how hard they tried, people couldn't get rid of the drunken butler. Everyone else just went and voted for Azog, the malodorous just to save the stupid butler. That night at tribal council:
Galion- 4 Azog - 5 With that, Azog got up in a huff and walked into the jungle. However, just as he entered the jungle, he fell in a hole which contained spears sticking out of the ground. 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 The remaining contestants: Dwarves Balin Bombur Dain Dori Fili Gloin Kili Oin Thrain (father of Thorin) Thror (grandsire of Thorin) Men/Elves Beorn Elrond Galion (Elvenking's Butler) Elvenking Girion Bad Guys Bert Bolg Chief Warg Smaug William Tom Others Eagle Lord Roac Necromancer Belladonna Took Bullroarer (Bilbo's great ancestor) Old Took Sorry this is so short today. Lots of homework I have to do. Start voting!!

++Beorn
He's a prat! I've gone over this arguement many times but the nightly maulings are getting too much and they must stop. Also what kind of a nincompoop needs dwarves to be segmented in their arrival so he can handle it? He does little for the tribe and his love of bees are bringing those pesky bugs around and the stings are becoming too much as well. His initial humor and charm have worn thin and now he's plain annoying.

Dost thou think that because thou art virtuous, Saucie, there shall be no more cakes and ale?
I'm quite enjoying Galion's carousing, especially as it's the festive season. So I'll vote to save him, ++OIN

Just because I think that Galion's presence is most amusing in its affect on certain voters, I will vote for that forgotten, soon to be gone, Oin. His only claims to fame are being eaten by a giant octopus and being good without matches.
Pithy! ++Oin, son of Groin

++OIN...
...because Oin is an anagram of ion. He is therefore responsible for the annoying epidemic of static cling in the island's laundry and should be sent off in search of calamari. Besides, I want to save Galion.
