Hurt and Heal Hobbit Edition
Same rules as before:
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. Hobbits is the theme. I wonder if it possible to not repeat previous hobbits. I doubt when we get to other races this would be possible so repeats are okay. Let's get nominations....

I nominate Lalia the Fat, Estella Bolger, Diamond of Long Cleeve, and Rosie Cotton.
ETA: It'd probably be possible to do a whole list of "no repeats," but only by including the entire Gamgee brood or other* characters in Appendix C about whom we know nothing but a name. *Although since we have an Epilogue we know something about some of said brood; and in fact a number of them are predicted by Frodo in the actual text...

Nothing but a name seems a bit boring to me.

I vote to have main hobbit characters again, even if they had already participated in the previous games. How can a hobbit competition go without Frodo and Sam? Unfair, preciousss...
After all, it is HOBBIT game - it is not soon they would get another chance. Maybe we can just list MAIN hobbit characters and then bring the list up to 20 with additional characters on a two-votes basis? So I propose the following "main" list: Smeagol (pre-Gollum period) Bilbo Frodo Sam Merry Pippin The Gaffer Farmer Maggot Fatty Bolger Nob Rosie Cotton Farmer Cotton Lotho S-B Lobelia What do you think? |

I'm good with that Gordis...others?
We could include Deagol then too and Smeagol's grandmother. Does she have a name?

I'm praying none of the six first in the line will win and do my best to prevent it... Nothing against anyone of them though, they're quite great characters all of them but it's just soo booring they end up winning all and leave others as mere statists.
So double hurt Frodo, heal farmer Maggot Smeagol (8) Bilbo (10) Frodo (8) Sam (11) Merry (10) Pippin (10) The Gaffer (11) Farmer Maggot (11) Fatty Bolger (10) Nob (10) Rosie Cotton (10) Farmer Cotton (10) Lotho S-B (8) Lobelia (11) Deagol (9) Mayor Will Whitfoot (10) Bandobras Took (10) Rory Brandybuck (11) Ted Sandyman (6) Sancho Proudfoot (10)

I agree to a certain extent Nog, but I just finished rereading "Hobbit" recently and I'm rereading "Fellowship" now, and Bilbo is just so darn likable and funny and smart and cool. I may not support him to the bitter end, and may favor a lesser known character, but the fact remains that no way do I want to see him gone before some of these other people. Do we really think being a minor character alone makes one worthy of winning the trophy?
Hurt Lotho, Hurt Deagol, Heal Sancho Smeagol (7) Bilbo (10) Frodo (9) Sam (11) Merry (10) Pippin (10) The Gaffer (11) Farmer Maggot (11) Fatty Bolger (10) Nob (10) Rosie Cotton (10) Farmer Cotton (10) Lotho S-B (7) Lobelia (11) Deagol (8) Mayor Will Whitfoot (10) Bandobras Took (10) Rory Brandybuck (11) Ted Sandyman (5) Sancho Proudfoot (11)

If we hurt all of the "favourites" one by one they'll never get down as someone has time to heal them. So one needs to concentrate the votes a bit.
As I said, nothing against Frodo as such but it seems there are some others favouring this kind of approach. If you suggest we should go for Sam, Pip or Merry first, be my guest. I'd follow that as well. Now it just looks like Frodo is the first on the line...

He sure is... like number five to me - but I'm ready to help outing him even before that.
