Hurt and Heal Round 3
Okay let's start taking nominations. This round will be only from characters that appear in Lord of the Rings.
The rules will be the same as last time as it seemed to work well enough. From 20 to 7 - each player has 3 votes: 2 hurts and 1 heal. Double hurts are allowed. From 6 to 4 - each player has 3 votes: 2 hurts and 1 heal. Double hurts ar not allowed: a player has to hurt 2 different characters and heal one, or he may use only 1 hurt and 1 heal. When but 3 characters are left each player has either a hurt or a heal. Wait for at least four posters to vote prior to you voting again. These rules can change whenever deemed appropriate. Let's begin nomination but go easy on them so as to not monopolize the decisions. I proudly and unabashedly nominate Samwise Gamgee and Glorfindel.

I second Elladan and/or Elrohir and propose they count as one as they are not very indivdualistic.

I must say I second Dain II Ironfoot
one of the more remarkable (and generally overlooked) of dwarves, and the owner of yet another cool moniker. Btw, there's this tidbit about dwarf armor related to him, indicating one reason for dwarf prowess in battle: Quote:

I second Bergil
1 vote: Gildor Ioreth Celeborn Rosie Cotton Barliman Butterbur The Mouth of Sauron Khamûl Caradhras the Cruel Goldberry 2 votes: Bill the Pony Denethor Elladan and/or Elrohir Erkenbrand Faramir Fatty Bolger Gaffer Gamgee Gilraen Glorfindel Gollum Gríma Halbarad Imrahil Lobelia Nob Samwise Gamgee Saruman Dain II Ironfoot Caradhas the Cruel Bergil so unless there are any major objections to this, such as Rikae with Sam. Does anybody else have a major concern with this? Let us move on and begin to vote. Let's wait at least a few hours to allow people to express their opinion. As much as I love Sam I'm okay if he's not on as I don't know how I will handle two oustings.

Personally I am in favor of no repeats at his point. There are still plenty of characters available.
And I will second Caradhras. And what, no one likes Gildor enough to second him? He actually had some lines in LotR.

We can choose someone else... |

If Sam goes, I'll second Gildor as I see we are very low on elves.

I would be willing to save Caradhras, but we should come up with some agreed targets. I have a funny story about a rather large rock...I just wish that rock was as alive as Caradhras, we might have won.
I would not be willing to eliminate Gollum, but any of the other hobbits wouldn't bother me. Lobelia is somewhat of an interesting character, but she's expendable.
